The Triumph: “Life fucking sucks, but we’re gonna kick some ass so it’s all good"

Ignite: "Prepare to get punched."

The Path of Isolation: "My life fucking sucks."

Smile: "I’m gonna smile while I kick ass and take revenge”

All Things Must Die: “You’re fucked.”

(No Initial Impression to “All That Matters” because I’m lazy. Thanks to @blake-wukong for sending me what we had of the lyrics though!)

FULL SONG ANALYSIS:

The Triumph: “Life fucking sucks, but we’re gonna kick some ass so it’s all good. Hope you’re ready to die, assholes.”

Ignite: “Don’t fuck with me, my sister, my friends, my dad, my uncle, my dog, my bike, or my pet rock EVER AGAIN, or I will make sure there’s nothing left of you to bury. Featuring unexpected but most certainly not unwelcome jazz!”

The Path TO Isolation (I initially fucked it up, I know): “My life REALLY FUCKING SUCKS, SOMEONE HELP ME. Also, obligatory fuck you dad.”

Smile: “My daughter, racists exist. FUCK THEIR SHIT UP.”

All Things Must Die: “Sorry, did I say ‘You’re fucked’? What I meant was ‘The “You’re fucked” meter is broken.’ I hope you wrote your will.”

All That Matters: “Stick around this time, for fuck’s sake!”

This Time: “VIVA LA REVOLUTION! Only this time, better!”

Volume 6:

INITIAL IMPRESSIONS

Lionized: "Adam n-” “ADAM YES”

Rising: “We’re back and we’re badass!”

Miracle: “A miracle would be nice, but we’ll hang in until we get one… Which might be a while…”

One Thing: “You got my [lover/father figure/best friend/whatever you interpret Roman and Neo as being] killed, I’m gonna fucking kill you!”

Forever Fall: [Analysis unavailable due to heavy crying]

Big Metal Shoe: “Caroline Cordovin Diss Track”

Indomitable: “They can take our lives, but they can never take our silver eyes!” (Except for crocodile faunus. They can and will take your silver eyes.)

FULL SONG ANALYSIS



Lionized: “Adam may have been a shitty person but goddamn he was a great villain and got a fucking amazing villain song to go with it. Rest in pieces motherfucker.”

Rising: “You thought the bits from the opening were awesome? You haven’t seen shit yet!”



Miracle: “A miracle would be nice. But until we get one, WE’VE GOT METAL”



One Thing: "So that Neo and Cinder alliance. It’s most certainly gonna be long-lasting. No impending betrayal when the time is right. None at all whatsoever.”

Forever Fall: [heavy sobbing because the playlist I was listening to had this placed right after Indomitable and GOD DAMMIT THIS SONG IS EMOTIONAL ENOUGH]

Big Metal Shoe: “WHO DARED THE WILLIAMS TO CRAM EVERY FAIRY TALE REFERENCE POSSIBLE INTO ONE SONG. Because I’d like to thank you, this song is great.”

Indomitable: I… don’t really have anything funny to say about this song. Not because I dislike it, far from it. But… just, give it a listen.

Nevermore: “Adam Y-” “ADAM. NO. DIE.”

BONUS:

Armed and Ready Acoustic Remix: Beehaw if it was a song

EDIT: FUCK I FORGOT RED LIKE ROSES PART 2.

EDIT 2: All Things Must Die and This Time analysed. Note that all V5 songs are subject to change based on the subject of the full songs. (Also I completely missed the lyrics to the song that played during the RWBY reunion, but if anyone has them I would be very grateful.)

EDIT 3: Updated for the full release of the V5 songs! I decided to move This Time down to “Full Song Analysis” because it’s the full song, we got the whole thing in the credits of Episode 14. Anyway, don’t mind me while I scream into the void about HOW FUCKING AWESOME THIS SEASON’S SOUNDTRACK IS.

EDIT 4: I just got First. I love Volume 6. I love the soundtrack. I CAN’T WAIT ANOTHER YEAR FOR MORE RWBY PLEASE RT- oh hey there’s comics and novels and world guides and all sorts of shit that’s hopefully coming out this year! (Dan DiDio if you lay a FINGER ON THESE COMICS I WILL NOT HESITATE TO-).

Also, with this edit, due to us getting a Neo song, I will be deleting the tags that begged for requested such a song, because clearly, Rooster Teeth saw my shitpost and decided to acquiesce to my demands.

Also did some minor touch-ups, like bolding some text and shit because I personally prefer it that way.

EDIT 5: Oh boy Volume 6′s soundtrack is here, and it is a fucking roller coaster of emotions. Added all the full song analyses and moved Nevermore down there. Now I will return to hibernate until Volume 7 comes out.
