It's not too late to Tarn back


There's not much to say. I mean it's TARN. Crazed, zealous, sadistic yet also charming, well-read and a lover of music. He's such a horrible person but his reasoning for being such a violent follower of decepticonism makes a lot of sense and I definitely appreciate how they made such a good villain without trying to redeem him. We're way beyond that.
Anyways, if you like Rammstein and/or wanna hear an underrated banger that also fits Tarn's character well (in my opinion), skip to song 3 on this page's playlist. Refresh the page if you haven't updated the playlist yet.
More about the Tarn playlist
Basically, when I make character playlists I don't try to simply emulate a vibe. I love when a song's lyrics can be interpreted with a certain character in mind, so that's what I've done here. These songs are sort of supposed to reflect his actions throughout MTMTE.
- Lacrimosa: A song about sparing guilty men from god's judgement. It's classical music which is something Tarn enjoys, although Cybertronian classical music undoubtedly sounds very different.
- Psycho Magnet: About being disgusted by someone's treachery, crazed behaviour and lies. I see this song as either being about Tarn's victims' disgust towards their executioner and torturer, or Tarn's eventual disgust towards Megatron.
- Adios: Song about someone dying from a drug overdose. Certain lines which translate to
"Nothing is for you. Nothing was for you. Nothing stays for you. Forever"
are repeated countless times. Tarn was manipulated into being a decepticon, and then eventually left behind by Megatron. He clings to the only thing he has left; the decepticon cause. - If you have no clue what the hell a drug overdose has to do with this, and are perhaps one of my friends who know jackshit about Transformers, I assure you that this franchise gets quite dark at times.
- Memory of Heaven Near the end of MTMTE, Tarn's memories of the decepticon cause seem like a memory of heaven. The deeper he went, the better he felt, because he was finally given power and a purpose. Then it all got ripped away and now he's PISSED.
- The Empyrean Suite: By thoughtForm. Wouldn't be a Tarn playlist without the DJD's theme song!
