Analyzing Cog In The Machine

Analyzing Cog in the Machine

Okay so now that the new song for IEYTD 3 has been released I want to analyze it, so lets jump right in.

[Verse 1] "You showed me the door While I'm breaking it down Even you can't ignore The new world that I found"

( this describes how Dr. Roxana Prism was kicked out of the agency, maybe after discovering something she shouldn't have)

"Forging a fire While I'm searching within All that's left is who's right And who pays for the sin"

( this most likely shows how she view the agency as people who carelessly wast human life without consequence)

[Chorus] "No breaking down, no giving up No more accepting just good enough I have a world to make Unbreakable rules to break I'll build a castle, I'm the queen You're just a cog in my machine"

( this shows us her outlook on life, that she is done being a cog in the machine and that if the agency wont let her make her perect world than she will do it herself)

[Verse 2] "You're the best of the best Well, let's see if it's true I'm less than impressed I've built better than you"

( this verse has her specifically addresing the player, agent Phoenix, taunting them)

"I'vе made you before I can takе you apart I'll reach into your core And I'll rip out your heart"

( this part of the verse is very interesting to me as it makes me wonder if at some point in the game she will do just that, she was the one to give us the implants that allow for telekinesis, will she at one point take it away?)

[Bridge] "Gears of change will grind in strange ways Tearing down the walls we make Now for you Another form of control Understand what I do Is the work of a soul"

( I think this line is her justifying her actions saying that what she is doing is for the betterment of people and that she herself has a soul unlike the agency)

Thank you all for reading! To conclude, I think in the game Dr. Roxana Prism will be a far more sympathetic villain than those in past games, a woman who only wants to save people with her machines but has gone too far and needs to be stopped. Hope you all enjoyed and I cannot wait to see the full game.

I would love to list of all my elishua fic recommendations but there are literally eight fics for this tag. Is that gonna stop me? No.

everyone go read:

au where Elijah is convinced to not sacrifice Sydney

Joshua remembers a past life with Elijah that effects how he interacts with him in present day

Elijah and Joshua new each other before camp and leave messages to each other carved in wood

Incredible sweet slow burn where the world one day loses its magic and Joshua is sent to spy on a group whose leader claims they know why the world has ended. Also includes high fishing.

Joshua and Elijah sit in their apartment in a power outage because of the rain. Very sweet and self contained.

Last but not least my own fic! Featuring a year after the events of season 1 with Joshua getting to be feral as he should.

Once again no thoughts just these two

Lost in space

tell me I’m not the only one that just decided to check tumblr and are hit with the vanilla extract apocalypse

So camp here and there fans…

Does anyone still ship elishua? I want to draw fanart for it and I’m curious if anyone would even want it. So would y’all enjoy some art of this cute little crack ship?

Also If you ship it tell me why you do and if you don’t why not I’m genuinely curious
