Raccoon City (ft. Aether / Sizzlebird)

Veela's song 'Raccoon City (ft. Aether / Sizzlebird)' delves into the dark and dystopian world inspired by the Resident Evil franchise, particularly focusing on the character Alice from the Umbrella Corporation. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a harsh and unforgiving environment where survival is paramount, and trust is a rare commodity. The repeated lines 'It's a little rougher, it's a little tougher' emphasize the constant struggle and danger that the protagonist faces. The imagery of seeing someone 'in the back wall, red' suggests a scene of violence or bloodshed, further highlighting the brutal reality of this world.

The song also explores themes of captivity and the desire for freedom. The lines 'One day, born a captive, what they say is what I'll do' reflect the protagonist's sense of being trapped and controlled by external forces. This is a direct nod to Alice's backstory, where she is manipulated and used by the Umbrella Corporation. The repeated plea 'How to escape, how do I get out' underscores the desperation and longing for liberation. This theme is further reinforced by the mention of Wesker, a key antagonist in the Resident Evil series, and the protagonist's thirst for revenge against those who have wronged her and the world.

Trust is another central theme in the song. The lyrics 'When everybody is trusting you, you can't do anything about it, but trust in you' highlight the internal conflict and pressure the protagonist feels. Despite the external chaos, there is an underlying message about the importance of self-reliance and inner strength. The mention of Alice from Umbrella, who is 'here to show you the light,' adds a layer of hope and resilience. Alice, despite being 'just another one of them,' stands out as a beacon of resistance and determination, armed and ready to fight for justice. This duality of being both a product of the system and a rebel against it encapsulates the complex nature of survival in a dystopian world.
