"Hail The Sun's song Arcane Justice" appears to be a dark and intense track that deals with themes of revenge, karma, and confronting one's past actions. The lyrics speak to a narrator who has been victimized by predators and is seeking justice against them. The song starts with the narrator expressing their determination to make the predators pay for their actions. The line "Lessons taught by peeling skin" suggests that the narrator wants to inflict pain and suffering on their perpetrators. They take pleasure in hearing the predators beg for mercy, implying a desire for retribution. The phrase "rogue entitlement" suggests that the predators had a sense of arrogance or entitlement in their actions, which the narrator now wants to strip away by exposing their sins. The narrator believes that karma will eventually catch up with the predators and that nobody will care about them when that happens. The chorus introduces the concept of déjà vu, implying that the predators' actions are reminiscent of past offenses. The narrator questions if the predators see the same things that their victims have experienced and points out the evidence of their forced interactions ("traces of everything you've touched"). The phrase "arcane justice" refers to a form of punishment that is mysterious or hidden. The narrator claims that they will enforce this justice with their own hands, indicating a personal and direct involvement in seeking vengeance. The idea of power coercion suggests a cycle of abuse, implying that what goes around comes around. The predators cannot escape the consequences of their actions, and the narrator assures that they will feel the weight of their crimes. The bridge of the song highlights the narrator's method of exacting revenge. They mention taking away the predators' limbs and innocence, using tools like pliers. This brutal imagery represents the narrator's desire to make the predators suffer and implies that they believe the predators deserve such punishment. As the song progresses, the predators beg for the pain to stop, but the irony lies in the fact that they once had power and control, but are now victims themselves. The repeated mention of déjà vu and resurfacing faces suggests that the predators' actions are catching up to them, and they are experiencing similar torment to their victims. The song ends by addressing the remnants of the predators' actions, emphasizing that they have forced their will upon others and left traces of their destructive behavior. The narrator seems to seek understanding or validation in their desire for revenge, pleading for the listeners to help them explain the meaning and story behind their actions.
