'Heathens' and 'Suicide Squad' are a match made in gritty, neon-lit heaven. The song’s lyrics—'We don’t deal with outsiders very well'—might as well be the Squad’s motto. It’s all about distrust and survival, which sums up the movie’s ragtag villains-turned-reluctant-heroes. The track’s slow build mirrors the Squad’s own messy journey from chaos to (sort of) camaraderie.
What I love is how the song doesn’t glorify the Squad but gets them. It’s not a hero’s anthem; it’s a hymn for the broken, which is why it resonates. Even the music video’s prison setting feels like a nod to Belle Reve. It’s rare for a single song to encapsulate a film’s soul so perfectly, but 'Heathens' does it with a smirk and a warning.
Ever notice how 'Heathens' feels like it’s creeping up on you? That’s exactly why it works for 'Suicide Squad'. The song’s minimalist beat and Tyler Joseph’s hushed vocals create this unsettling atmosphere, mirroring the movie’s tone—dark, unpredictable, and full of characters who might just turn on each other. The line 'All my friends are heathens, take it slow' could’ve been ripped straight from Harley’s diary. It’s got that same playful danger she radiates.
What’s wild is how the song manages to be both a character study and a crowd chant. It’s introspective enough to soundtrack Joker and Harley’s twisted romance, yet anthemic enough for the Squad’s chaotic missions. Soundtracks often fade into the background, but 'Heathens' sticks with you. It’s like a shadow from the movie—lingering, a little ominous, but impossible to ignore. I still get chills when the chorus hits; it’s like the song knows something you don’t.
The first thing that struck me about 'Heathens' by Twenty One Pilots was how perfectly it captured the eerie, rebellious vibe of 'Suicide Squad'. The song was actually written specifically for the movie's soundtrack, and it fits like a glove. The lyrics about outsiders and misfits lining up to 'meet their maker' mirror the Squad's own chaotic, antihero energy. It's not just a background track—it feels like an anthem for the team, especially Harley Quinn. The slow burn of the melody paired with those haunting vocals? Pure cinematic synergy.
What's even cooler is how the song stands on its own too. You don't need the movie context to feel its tension, but knowing it’s tied to 'Suicide Squad' adds layers. I love how Tyler Joseph’s lyrics dance around themes of paranoia and being judged, which is basically the Squad’s whole deal. It’s like the song is whispering, 'Yeah, we’re the bad guys, but you’re not so innocent either.' That duality makes it one of those rare soundtrack gems that outlives the film.

So it appeared that she was to start paying her way on her back with this absolutely massive, broad-shouldered, tattooed, aptly-named wild warrior. Gideon was a large man, but this modern viking put him to serious physical shame; if Gideon’s dick had split her in half in agony, Iris could only imagine what this monster’s cock would do to her.
She just hoped that he left her able to walk… and able to fuck the rest of the boys downstairs, because of course they’d be close behind. She knew there would be blood soaking and staining her thighs before things were done, long before they decided that they’d used her up.
Stopping her jumbled thoughts, Iris slowly lowered herself to her knees. ****
Liam “Viking” Callahan thought the job was done. Evidence buried. Debt paid to The Road Devils MC. Then he drives out of the Utah mountains with a secret in the back of his van: a terrified woman running for her life.
Iris has spent six months planning her escape from Gideon and the Garden of Divine Light. She’s barefoot, freezing, and desperate enough to gamble on a stranger who looks dangerous... but still safer than the hell she left behind. So she hides. And prays.
When the Road Devils discover Iris, the truth unravels: a cult, a tyrant, and a woman who fled into a winter night wearing nothing but a nightgown and borrowed boots. She’s broken, but not defeated. Iris wants her life back... her body, her choices, her fearlessness.
The only man she feels safe with is the towering, gentle Viking.
As trust turns into desire, neither of them sees the danger closing in. Gideon wants his “property” returned... and he won’t stop until he gets it.
Ellie is in denial about what her father does for a living, but she wants nothing more than to be trusted enough to get let into the inner circle. When a body shows up on her family's doorstep, it becomes clear that the war brewing between her family and a rival family is coming to a head. Ellie's father hires Mordechai to keep her safe until they figure it out. Little do they know that Mordechai is actually a secret employee of the rival mafia family, and he's there to collect information and take down Ellie's family.
BASTARD SON OF THE VIKINGS
Palermo does not forgive.
Neither does it forget.
When Guerrero Valenti, the feared leader of the Vikings, vanished, the city exhaled a dangerous calm—but only for a moment. In the shadows, enemies waited. Rivals sharpened their knives. And one woman bore a secret that could ignite every street in the city.
Lucia Romano carried the child of a man who had disappeared into legend and rumor. A son who had not been claimed, not protected, not named.
The city whispered of him with venom: the bastard of the Vikings.
The boy was fragile, but he was a storm waiting to erupt. And every night, Palermo tested him. Masked men tried to snatch him from his crib. Fire, steel, and blood became his lullabies. Yet he survived. Every threat only sharpened his instincts, every scream hardened his mother’s resolve.
But whispers spread faster than steel through the night—rumors of a man returning. A shadow that would claim everything, sparking fear in every heart:
Guerrero Valenti.
The father who abandoned him.
The legend whose name alone commands obedience.
The storm that will rise, carrying vengeance, blood, and fire.
And when he comes,
Every man who dared call the bastard his enemy will fall.
Every street, every roof, every whispered corner will bow to the son of Guerrero Valenti or be washed in blood.
This is the story of survival.
Of fire and steel.
Of a mother and her son.
Of a father’s return.
Even the earth is getting ready to absorb blood … the blood of those who call the legitimate son of the Vikings a “BASTARD", and collect necks........the necks of those fallen by the sword of GUERRERO VALANTI.
And upon his return Heads will bow to the one they called a BASTARD .

The song 'Heathens' by Twenty One Pilots was actually written for the soundtrack of the movie 'Suicide Squad,' and while it fits the dark, rebellious vibe of the film, it's not directly based on a true story. The lyrics explore themes of alienation and distrust, which resonate with the movie's antihero themes, but the band has never confirmed any real-life inspiration behind it. Tyler Joseph, the lead singer, often writes metaphorically, so the song feels personal yet universal rather than biographical.
That said, the idea of 'heathens'—outsiders or those who don't conform—is something many people relate to. The song captures the tension of being judged or misunderstood, which might feel 'true' in an emotional sense. It's less about a specific event and more about the collective experience of feeling like an outsider. I love how the song's moody production and cryptic lyrics leave room for interpretation, making it feel even more immersive.
