This song gets really dark when you realize the lyrics are Ruby questioning herself and how much loss her decisions have caused, and whether the fighting was worth it.
Wish they'd make more songs for other characters. Bu now the only songs they make are for the main characters and villains. Its like everyone else is fodder. Fynt never got a song and he literally is a musician.
@@kokayinewsome9308 Honestly I wish they'd make more songs for villains too. Now that they're on opposing sides, it's about time we get an "I'm The One Part 2" - either shared between Emerald and Mercury OR split it into two separate songs. Hazel, Watts, and Tyrion should've gotten songs too, imo (still time for Tyrion), we could use a follow up to Cinder's "The Truth/Sacrifice/When It Falls/All Things Must Die" now that she's learned how to be even more of a raging superbitch, and screw it... Let's give Roman a song.
@jaernihiltheus7817 the villains get there's because they fight the heroes. But tons of heroes never get one. Look how much Neo and Cinder have for battle themes. Too late for Roman.
This is literally just WBY's willpower that they've amassed over the two years that they've been fighting Salem and her forces, and it feels like they're finally getting a chance to just let loose all the skills they've obtained, setting Ruby as (mostly) the main focus aside, saying "hey, you're in a daze, i can't complain, so look at what i can do now"
Until you get to: "Are you the queen, Or are you the pawn? Will you master the night, Or wait for the dawn? Is it worth all the blood, And the damage done? Would you die under the spotlight Just to hear all the applause?" Which is definitely Ruby's point of view.
You have my appreciation for being the first to upload the lyrics to this banger. I've been looking for them ever since I heard the song, and then got distracted by a game. So my thanks for having posted it by the time I remembered.
Im glad this video and lyrics exists i tried finding it on spotify but its greyed out not sure what happened to it and i came on here to listen to it becuase its a mastpiece that shouldnt be forgotten.
@@iceluvndiva21 the lack of Freezerburn/Ladybug songs probably come from the fact that most people will take that as romantic rather than platonic if I had to guess. I don't really do ship wars though. Like I've admitted to liking Bumbleby, but Bumbleby is also canon. I just don't see the point in the bickering.
There is still a chance it'll come back so don't lose all hope because they are looking for another ip (I actually think they may have found someone at this point but they haven't really said) to continue it@@danielamosti1069
Do not worry. RWBY was bought by Viz Media. They haven't said anything about volume 10, but at least there's a light at the end of the tunnel. And Kerry Shawcross, one of the writers, is also joining in.

Tbh, any given time a song is from Ruby's PoV, the lyrics are on the dark and depressing end of the spectrum.
It's actually all the girls perspective, not just Ruby's
@@artofthepossible7329fr
"you know no one is perfect, but I'm pretty close" sounds exactly like ruby doubting herself
This was the only song and only fight i liked in the final season
Somewhere, hiding behind a comically large pillar, team FNKI followed them and are jamming out.

Red Prince: I WON! Give up, already!
Ruby: (inhales through clenched teeth) We. Won't. Kick their wooden BUTTS!
Whenever I listen to this song, I often feel the need to break out into a spontaneous dance.
Someone call Flynt and Neon cause this is FNKI!
XD
PFFFFHAH!!!! Nice one. XD
I know the saxophone throughout is so damn FUNKY
It’s Flint, Neon, Kobalt and Ivory
Flynt needs a song. All this time and nothing.

I had this on loop while sleeping and now I can sing the whole song
Thank you for this, checkmate is one of my favorites from this volume

Thank you! No one has uploaded a lyric video for this yet. Appreciate your work! Where’s the artwork from?
Thank you kindly! The artwork is my own 😊
@a-mellowtea That art is CLEAN!
@@a-mellowteaITS SO GOOD
A perfect addition, i was learning the lyrics by listening to it again and again, much easier now !
Finally, one with the official lyrics
Ngl checkmate is the only rwby song I always wanna dance to whenever it comes on
The only one? For me it's Checkmate, Neon, and Celebrate.
I heard this in the background of a car crash video of all places. 1:58 to 2:01 was what I heard. Never seen this show, but the song is a banger. 🤟🏾
Thank you for updating Checkmate with lyrics ❤😊
My pleasure!
EPIC SONGGF AHHHH
that trumpet doing work
With the fate of RWBY uncertain I hope these will not be the last season of RWBY
Weiss, Blake, and Yang vs Red and White chess piece armies !!
The fight, the music, this is one of my favorite fights in the new RWBY seasons.
This is soooo lit🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I don't care what anyone says, this is a freezerburn song
Chess usually involves black and white spaces, so it definitely fits for all three of them.
@@VinceMouse
Fair but the fact we have no feezerburn or ladybug songs is just sad. There's more kinds than romantic

@@iceluvndiva21we have this time and gold as family songs
Unofficially home feels like a Yang song or at least a Xiao Long - Rose song
@@pumpkinwarrior7138
OK that could work for fireflower. That's what I call the xiolong-rose.sister
Apple Music and Spotify absolutely nuked the Rwby soundtracks
yep thats why the 7 seas exist though. if i cant have it legally anywhere, then might aswell get my hands on it another way...
Electro swing era
This could work as a Peaky P-key song.
properly be a best nation anthem for a chess tournaments and championships
Wow❤ but what about volume 10? Is out?
Oh babe no,,,, roosterteeth got shut down we dont know whats happening with volume 10
@@lamb6042 of course; everything i like suddenly stop…
