I don't doubt that, but from what I've been reading Arcane is notorious for having songs in the background exactly describing the action onscreen.

I haven't heard that at all. As I understand it, the music is written to go with certain scenes, but it complements the action and adds a lot of emotional beats. I can't think of an example where it's simply describing what's going on on-screen.
The music is a huge part of Arcane though, and complements the emotional content.
e.g. The Line (Twenty-One Pilots) was written after Tyler Joseph witnessed the passing of his grandmother and is written from her viewpoint - incredibly powerful and poignant, but also fits in wonderfully with what is happening with Victor (Arcane character).
