Man, this song hits so much harder when you take it as a metaphor for burnout and depression. References to feeling alone, left behind, no longer recognizing yourself in the mirror. The cry for help, but also facing the music to fight it off.
The lyrics: the most depressing song about a woman who feels her soul literally dying and losing her sense of self in the process The video: haha look at the lil goober dance to the music hahaha
Suggestion for future karaoke videos: putting the next line (in smaller text) under the current line makes it easier to sing-along without needing to remember that next word!
Yooo, the madlad actually did it-!! Thank you for your hard work 💖👏 this is super helpful to me, and needless to say it'll be on constant loop over the next few days~
@@Daniele-PierreDuLac no ambush, she rejected that as a step too far even in her desperation. Pretty sure the "circle is complete" verse is badically in media res of the moment she's fighting you.
@@theacademyforadventurers there’s actually one angle I think people tend to not think about, especially given the second line is often misinterpreted. It’s “like the colors that the sky is draped in” which seems a bit odd, because the mistaken lines are usually more evocative of her history and legacy at that moment, “I’m not the greatness I was draped in” reflecting a woman legitimately doing something horrific despite the adoration she’d previous had. But here’s a neat thing. A Japanese death poem always includes allegory to nature, changing seasons, stuff like that. That little line is the big natural connection that makes it clear what the type of song is. So this isn’t a hype song for her, this is her essentially writing a final poem before committing seppuku. Which is evident in the song, she wants to convince herself to do one final attempt to survive, keep fighting, win or die. And ultimately can’t do it, she’s that desperate that she in fact chooses the opposite.
OFFICIAL lyrics just posted! Tonight our city bleeds red, blue, and green As I walk in the dark unseen Yet like the grey the sky is draped in The colors in my heart have faded Gone They're gone They're gone All gone A girl looks to the stars and dares to dream On the world she'd make her mark, it seemed This phantom in my mirror starin' back I realize that girl is Gone She's gone She's gone I'm gone Climbed every mountain, made it to the top I had it all, or so I thought Traded tomorrow for a lie And found the price too high The clock is ticking counting down to naught I'm outta time but it won't stop I'll bet my life before it's lost That final line I'll cross There ain't no going back No going back No going back No What light's left here inside I'll suffocate If that's what it takes, oh And those who look to cast me aside or turn their backs and leave me to die You can try, can try, come try, But I will survive No going back No going back Won't ever (no) Never again, no Ain't no going back No going back No coming back from the edge Look in my eyes, yeah I know you understand (somebody help, my misery's taking me) I've made up my mind, now there ain't no going back (somebody help, I'm losing what's left of me) I've made up my mind, now my heart's demanding I'm ready to fight til there's one left standing Tonight, lightning'll strike, thunder will fall (and) You're gonna give it all To me To me To me To me, I gotta believe You'll set Me free Tonight my circle finally comes complete One last step from the dark, I breathe The music's swellin', crowd is chantin' And for this moment fear's an after- thought It's gone It's gone All gone I look out to the crowd and there I see A thousand little girls--all me I've turned the tables, yeah I'm fightin' back I'll bring the lightnin', now it's On It's on It's on You're gone Climbed every mountain, made it to the top I had it all, or so I thought Traded tomorrow for a lie And found the price too high The clock is ticking counting down to naught I'm outta time but it won't stop I'll bet my life before it's lost That final line I'll cross There ain't no going back No going back No going back No What light's left here inside I'll suffocate If that's what it takes, oh And those who look to cast me aside or turn their backs and leave me to die You can try, can try, come try, But I will survive No going back No going back Won't ever (no) Never again, no Ain't no going back No going back No coming back from the edge, no more
A few lines that might be different: 1.) “White light, left here inside, I’ll suffocate, if that’s what it takes.” “What light’s, left here inside, I’ll suffocate, if that’s what it takes.” 2.) “Made up my mind, now my heart’s demanding.” “Made up my mind, there my heart’s demanding.” 3.) “Tonight my circle finally comes complete, one fast step from the dark, I’m free.” “Tonight my circle finally comes complete, one last step from the dark, I’m free.” 4.) “It’s on, it’s on, you’re gone.” “It’s on, it’s on, they’re gone.” In general, this song is about how she’s losing herself, and you’re going to bring her salvation, one way or another. Even if she has to suffocate what light’s left inside [1], even if she has to trick herself into believing she wants to fight on [2], this last fight [3] will clear away all doubts [4] and set her free.
these are the best lyrics I can go with :D sounds right to me the only part I'd suggest she's singing something different is at the beginning "I'm not greatness - I was draped in" makes more sense to me
When I have headphones on I hear the kick drum and it feels super out of sync with the rhythm at times. Is this a me thing? Is it the recording? Ill have to pay more attention to it in game now.
In general this song has lots of weird editing moments I was listening to it so many times and playing with the rhythm of it and it feels like it was cut and edited a lot
Yea might be the case Also when she said 'now my heart demanding' The 'now' sounds like 'there', but it doesn't make sense So I listen to it many times and slowed the song and then u hear she said "now" but it seems cut
@@shybandit521 I also think it should be thunder will fall, it sounds much better, even if it doesn't make sense. Even the sentence after that ends with '-all', so it rhymes
It wouldn’t surprise me if that’s the resolution of this. I’m going to assume people here for this song actually did this raid series by now (M1-M4) but if her soul is breaking down because they use beast souls so often and she needs a fresh soul to stabilize her own it wouldn’t surprise me to find out she’s Lightning Shard Azem and we break off a fraction of ourselves for her. We’ve had quite a few rejoinings so as Source Azem we have really dense Aether. Just like Ardbert joining with us in Shadowbringer’s I can see us, WoL Azem, sharing the density with Lightning Azem.
@@Andrenden But her parents were both Tulliyolan. Not to ruin headcanons, but wouldn’t that subject them to Source rules since she was born after the dome came to Xak Tural?
I don't know. Usually Shards of Azem are associated with being Wanderers that do good for Others (like Ardbert or heavily hinted real Golbez). I don't see that trait within her, though the way Alexandrians treat Souls, who knows, it might have been scrubbed off for good. I doubt it though, as we've also seen their Version of Gerolt and Rowena already, exhibiting similar Traits as their Source Counterparts. In the end it's all speculation of course^^
@@gokkiyoutube Most of this info is from Yanna, and she says as much. But I am curious if our counterpart exists somewhere in the Unlost World or Solution Nine.
No, that wouldn't make sense. Red, Blue, and Green are the primary colors of light, which ties into the following line about her "walking in the dark."

Not to mention fighting back instead of running away. ‘You’re GONNA GIVE IT ALL to me!!!!’ Badass
why you gotta hit me in my heart

The cries for help that ring in the background hit hard
Thanks for your hard work, the lyrics are even better than I thought
Thank you! ❤
Now I can listen to this without wiping to that final brutal check :D
Yooo, the madlad actually did it-!! Thank you for your hard work 💖👏 this is super helpful to me, and needless to say it'll be on constant loop over the next few days~
Thank you!
So this is basically her self motivation song before trying and ultimately failing to ambush and kill the WOL. Funny and a bit sad.
Or represents her realizing that even if she succeeds, the part of her she felt worth saving would still die because she'd now be a murderer.
@@Daniele-PierreDuLac no ambush, she rejected that as a step too far even in her desperation. Pretty sure the "circle is complete" verse is badically in media res of the moment she's fighting you.
@@Daniele-PierreDuLac Sounds less like a funny self motivation, and more like a self-destructive push in desperation. Real tragic hero hours, her.
I love these conversations. It’s good to see people providing perspective on the meaning of the music and lyrics.

Excellent sound quality! Thank you for the lyrics video! ❤️👍
Thank you so much!
what a jam - thank you for uploading!
@@TheLoneFranger
it's giving me massive Casey Lee Williams vibes, singer of RWBY webseries rock songs.
@@HyouVizer You're not far off. It's Chrissy Costanza from Against the Current. I think she's done vocals for My Hero Academia before.
@@MrSticks2190 just tell him the singer of League of Legends: Legends Never Die
the song definitely has RWBY vibes, I took a double take the first time I heard it
sing by Chrissy Costanza (she announced from her youtube)
True I'll add it to the description!
didnt she also sing Hero Too from MHA?
OFFICIAL lyrics just posted!
Tonight our city bleeds red, blue, and green
As I walk in the dark unseen
Yet like the grey the sky is draped in
The colors in my heart have faded
Gone
They're gone
They're gone
All gone
A girl looks to the stars and dares to dream
On the world she'd make her mark, it seemed
This phantom in my mirror starin' back
I realize that girl is
Gone
She's gone
She's gone
I'm gone
Climbed every mountain, made it to the top
I had it all, or so I thought
Traded tomorrow for a lie
And found the price too high
The clock is ticking counting down to naught
I'm outta time but it won't stop
I'll bet my life before it's lost
That final line I'll cross
There ain't no going back
No going back
No going back
No
What light's left here inside
I'll suffocate
If that's what it takes, oh
And those who look to cast me aside
or turn their backs and leave me to die
You can try, can try, come try,
But I will survive
No going back
No going back
Won't ever
(no) Never again, no
Ain't no going back
No going back
No coming back from the edge
Look in my eyes, yeah I know you understand
(somebody help, my misery's taking me)
I've made up my mind, now there ain't no going back
(somebody help, I'm losing what's left of me)
I've made up my mind, now my heart's demanding
I'm ready to fight til there's one left standing
Tonight, lightning'll strike, thunder will fall
(and) You're gonna give it all
To me
To me
To me
To me, I gotta believe
You'll set
Me free
Tonight my circle finally comes complete
One last step from the dark, I breathe
The music's swellin', crowd is chantin'
And for this moment fear's an after-
thought
It's gone
It's gone
All gone
I look out to the crowd and there I see
A thousand little girls--all me
I've turned the tables, yeah I'm fightin' back
I'll bring the lightnin', now it's
On
It's on
It's on
You're gone
Climbed every mountain, made it to the top
I had it all, or so I thought
Traded tomorrow for a lie
And found the price too high
The clock is ticking counting down to naught
I'm outta time but it won't stop
I'll bet my life before it's lost
That final line I'll cross
There ain't no going back
No going back
No going back
No
What light's left here inside
I'll suffocate
If that's what it takes, oh
And those who look to cast me aside
or turn their backs and leave me to die
You can try, can try, come try,
But I will survive
No going back
No going back
Won't ever
(no) Never again, no
Ain't no going back
No going back
No coming back from the edge, no more
Thank you!
Thank you for your effort 👌
Thank you!
1:27 That motif of her younger sister's theme here is sly.
@@JunbiHosa I think it’s the opposite, actually- little sis is referencing big sis’s song. We just happened to hear little sis’s song first.
Wow that's amazing ty❤
Thanks a lot! ❤
A few lines that might be different:
1.)
“White light, left here inside, I’ll suffocate, if that’s what it takes.”
“What light’s, left here inside, I’ll suffocate, if that’s what it takes.”
2.)
“Made up my mind, now my heart’s demanding.”
“Made up my mind, there my heart’s demanding.”
3.)
“Tonight my circle finally comes complete, one fast step from the dark, I’m free.”
“Tonight my circle finally comes complete, one last step from the dark, I’m free.”
4.)
“It’s on, it’s on, you’re gone.”
“It’s on, it’s on, they’re gone.”
In general, this song is about how she’s losing herself, and you’re going to bring her salvation, one way or another. Even if she has to suffocate what light’s left inside [1], even if she has to trick herself into believing she wants to fight on [2], this last fight [3] will clear away all doubts [4] and set her free.
I don't know if the Ixion Phooka is cute or cursed 😅 Either way I love it!
Id hunt Phooxion minion
It's weird to see it I know lol thanks!
@@IKMcGwee would be cool to start seeing minions like this ingame phookas need attention aswell!
@@ThePhookas It's weird and delightful!
Definitely blursed.
ff14 always just have the best songs i mean just...MMMMMMHHHH!! a bloody banger!
THIS❤
the metal covers of this song gonna be bangers
My chat broke me with this, they suggested I take a look at the lyrics.... dang......
The official lyrics dropped today
these are the best lyrics I can go with :D sounds right to me
the only part I'd suggest she's singing something different is at the beginning
"I'm not greatness - I was draped in" makes more sense to me
IT BLEEDS GREEN !
- Mike O'Tren The Glare Mage. 2024/10/31
Would be a great srw theme for a protagonist mecha
This song reminds me of RWBY songs.
When do they normally release the official lyrics ? I've seen 3 different interpretations now 😂
>megaman 2 stage select is that you
When I have headphones on I hear the kick drum and it feels super out of sync with the rhythm at times. Is this a me thing? Is it the recording? Ill have to pay more attention to it in game now.
Why does "thunder will follow" sounded like it had one too many syllables
In general this song has lots of weird editing moments
I was listening to it so many times and playing with the rhythm of it and it feels like it was cut and edited a lot
Yeah I kinda think it might actually just be "thunder will fall" but it's not clear to me yet
Yea might be the case
Also when she said 'now my heart demanding'
The 'now' sounds like 'there', but it doesn't make sense
So I listen to it many times and slowed the song and then u hear she said "now" but it seems cut
@@shybandit521 I also think it should be thunder will fall, it sounds much better, even if it doesn't make sense. Even the sentence after that ends with '-all', so it rhymes
Might be the case
I want them to post the official lyrics already
Most enjoyable raid song since Alexander if you ask me
Felicia in horse form.
“What light’s left here inside, I’ll suffocate if that’s what it takes.” Not white light imo
My headcanon is that she's Azem's soul in the Lightning Shard (Unlost?)
It wouldn’t surprise me if that’s the resolution of this. I’m going to assume people here for this song actually did this raid series by now (M1-M4) but if her soul is breaking down because they use beast souls so often and she needs a fresh soul to stabilize her own it wouldn’t surprise me to find out she’s Lightning Shard Azem and we break off a fraction of ourselves for her.

I don't see that trait within her, though the way Alexandrians treat Souls, who knows, it might have been scrubbed off for good.

@@acgearsandarms1343 Oh, she's not native to Unlost? Then i guess probably not.
@@gokkiyoutube Most of this info is from Yanna, and she says as much. But I am curious if our counterpart exists somewhere in the Unlost World or Solution Nine.
I think at the start of the song they're saying red blue and greed not red blue and green
No, that wouldn't make sense. Red, Blue, and Green are the primary colors of light, which ties into the following line about her "walking in the dark."
"SE, I want you to hire Hayley Williams!"
"Sir, we have Hayley Williams at home."
Hayley Williams at home:
What we have at home is more than decent in this case, though...
@@Bongaboi151 I was thinking versaemerge which sounds similar to paramore too!
This sounds like something Avril Lavigne would have released in like 2007.
And not in a good way.
