Paul Yellowjack is a character who has gone through many changes. He started as Silva's first real father figure, a teacher who raised her on morals to live by, protected her from Adam when the poor-excuse of a man wanted her back, and lead his people in a revolution against their violent oppressors on the Archipelagos. Ultimately, after the massacre though, he ended up as a tragic fallen hero whose core morals corrupted when put through tragedy after tragedy, leaving bitterness to take his heart and (regrettably) lash out at the world, before Silva could restore his hope again. Left down a dark path for so long he can no longer return as the man Silva once knew (even if there are shades of him deep inside the villain he has become), and sadly neither wishes him to, Paul because of his self-loathing, Silva because of the pain he inflicted on her. There is a longing between them, but both have gone down two different paths, with no way to return to one another (or at least, that's what both believe). I believe this song reflects his turmoil perfectly. I'll probably explain in the tags.

"I want you by my side So that I never feel alone again They've always been so kind But now they've brought you away from me
I hope they didn't get your mind Your heart is too strong anyway We need to fetch back the time They have stolen from us
And I want you We can bring it on the floor You've never danced like this before We don't talk about it Dancin' on, doing the boogie all night long Stoned in paradise Shouldn't talk about it
And I want you We can bring it on the floor You've never danced like this before We don't talk about it Dancin' on, doing the boogie all night long Stoned in paradise Shouldn't talk about it Shouldn't talk about it
Coldest winter for me No sun is shining anymore The only thing I feel is pain Caused by absence of you
Suspense controlling my mind I cannot find the way out of here I want you by my side So that I never feel alone again
And I want you We can bring it on the floor You've never danced like this before We don't talk about it Dancin' on, doing the boogie all night long Stoned in paradise Shouldn't talk about it
And I want you We can bring it on the floor You've never danced like this before We don't talk about it Dancin' on, doing the boogie all night long Stoned in paradise Shouldn't talk about it Shouldn't talk about it
And I want you We can bring it on the floor You've never danced like this before We don't talk about it Dancin' on, doing the boogie all night long Stoned in paradise Shouldn't talk about it
And I want you We can bring it on the floor You've never danced like this before We don't talk about it Dancin' on, doing the boogie all night long Stoned in paradise Shouldn't talk about it Shouldn't talk about it
And last line for The Years In Hope County, which is getting pushed for possibly next week.
"We've come a long way. You've come a long way," Elsa tells [Sylvester], downing the latte in her hands like shots at the Fairgrave's bar, "You may not see it but... we're already honouring them, just by being alive."
#far cry the silver chronicles#far cry 5#oc: paul yellowjack#fic: the years in hope county#oc: elsa omar#so with paul and silva one of their favourite pass times was dancing#and their dance was always a way for them to feel connected with each other and express their familial affection to one another#however the “dance” as described in the song has changed#“you've never danced like this before” being a euphemism for “you've never desired to kill me before”#who “they” refer to are those who have “stolen” silva away from paul especially now in his villainy#that being the residents of hope county and her remaining family like elsa + persephone and allies like gavin and kamski and etc#“coldest winter” and “no sun is shining” refers to both literal examples#like the archipelagos#as well as metaphorical#like his emptiness and loss of silva#“we don't/shouldn't talk about it” refers to both the lack/loss of communication between silva and paul#and paul's guilt preventing him from acknowledging and processing the event that completely destroyed any chance of recovering silva's love#“i cannot find a way out of here” is essentially being unable to escape his eternal servitude to zachariah the orchestrator#“you're heart is too strong anyway”#paul acknowledges that the morals he and others' had taught silva has made her defiant and against his attempts to bring her into villainy#(which also stops silva from giving up and is part of the reason she refuses to join eden's gate and their violence in the future)#it is something he can't help but feel pride and relief from#there's more but you can probably come to your own conclusions on what those are#Youtube
