HELLO I BRING BRAINROT
so i've been listening to "Nothing Matters" (explicit) by the last dinner party and the lyrics made me insane about voidwelt once again so heres a list of all the snippets that i (somewhat delusionally) interpreted as voidwelt content:

"i dig my fingers in, expecting more than just skin" - i see this song from va's point of view; they are used to being an inhuman entity that they are surprised when "and you can hold me / like he held her” - i like to think that “he” here refers to joachim and “you” refers to welt. va has seen the level at which joachim cared for tesla (whether platonically or romantically, that’s up to interpretation) and craves that closeness. va believes that welt, who stands before them now, is still capable of letting his guard down with the right person. “even when the cold comes crashing through / i’m putting all my bets on you” - welt is one of the few people that truly understands va, even if he does not think the same way as they do. in va’s mind, welt could very well be their “only chance”. va pursues their relationship with welt not only for their own gain, though, they also recognise that welt would benefit from having someone that he can let his guard down around. the “cold” could refer to welt’s self-destructive mindset or his tendency to mentally shut people out from loving him because he doesn’t think he deserves it (and he believes that he shouldn’t be indulging if his purpose is to defend humanity) “i put my heart inside your palms / my home in your arms” - this line could be from either perspective; both sides have let their guards down. for va, they feel secure enough around welt to explore the unknowns about themself. for welt, he allows himself to indulge (in his eyes, “be selfish) and be unburdened, if only for a little while -@rokiix from twitter :)

I just listened the song and omg what a great song!! I must confess that I was also imagining scenes around voidwelt. Here a few more ones I catched;
“'Cause we're a lot alike” - As we mentioned before, they have many parallels with each other, so this phrase suits them very well
“A sailor and a nightingale Dancing in convertibles” - I think this can be interpreted as the clash of their ideas and their way of seeing the world; clashing some times but never merging, some times to close and other so far away.

Thank you for this little brainstorm rokii! Loved the song and the interpretation with voidwelt 🫶🏻💖
