Music Monday: Lex and Em...and Alex

 [Again, spoilers ahead for Rift, read at your own risk.]

Oh, what a tangled web. You have Madelyne, who thinks that she knows Alex. She hears his voice through her headphones every night. They share inside jokes and memories of times spent in a virtual world. He listens. He understands. He is everything she has been looking for - and suddenly she has a way to be Em to his Lex.

This song makes me think of several scenes - Em, upon arriving in Tyrael and seeing it for the first time, then Em outside the cabin, looking up at the sky. Em receiving her tattoo. Em trying to separate Lex from Alex. "I'm gonna get you out of here/if I could catapult my heart to where you are."

Catapult

Jack Savoretti

Following the headlights

Got to find a way back to you

I can be the white knight

You can play the princess

We'll be running like outlaws

Hiding in the midnight

Break down them gates

Let in the sunlight

Throw me over these walls

High up in the atmosphere

If I could catapult my heart

Watch the empire fall

I'm gonna get you outta here

If I could catapult my heart

To where you are

You say you had your heart broken

What a stupid little thing to do

Now you're tied to a train track

But I'm a gonna come

And rescue you

Make no mistake

I'll do whatever it takes

To get over these walls

High up in the atmosphere

If I could catapult my heart

Watch the empire fall

Ooh I'm gonna get you outta here

If I could catapult my heart

To where you are

If I could catapult my heart

Oh throw me over these walls

Ooh high up in the atmosphere

If I could catapult my heart

Watch the empire fall

Ooh I'm gonna get you outta here

If I could catapult my heart

To where you are

If I could catapult my heart

To where you are

I'm gonna catapult my heart
