Your pound is paid, those scars will not heal You're lost and suffering, drowning in your tears Will someone somewhere tell me (where we'll) go from here Be the lion Say goodnight With each bite does your sanity die Step from the light, now, letting the dark Inside, say a prayer as the light leaves your eyes Or scream all you like, the Gods can’t hear you Dressed in rage, inside my cage My Pandæmonium, still bound to the flame out of fear There'll be no light In the comfort of who I used to be Oh scream all you like 'cause we're all mad here Suffering, tempering Whimpering, wandering Simpering, hungering (Further falling into the night) Deeper, deeper down tonight Say goodnight To the shadow I left far behind I'm just a stranger, we are strange Inside, we can run but there's nowhere to hide So scream all you like, no one can hear us Follow me (follow me) Come, follow me (follow me) To Pandæmonium Still bound to the flame, full of fear There's no release, from this empty-waking Wonderland So scream if you like 'cause we're all mad here Scream all you like 'cause we're all mad here

Hard to say. If you actually look at the billboard charts for top rock singles the past few years you'll notice something very quickly: it's all pop/hip-hop/rap artists that are branching out into "rock and roll" sounding songs. There are very few actual rock bands or artists on the charts.

[@fatalsquill2326]

FF community: (p1-4) "The fights where okay, the music wasn't that good though" Soken: "OI YOSHIDA, HOLD MY DAMN BEER!"

[@zinogrex]

Uh P4 was significantly better than P8's theme

[@gackybass]

​@@zinogrex It was less that P4s theme wasn't that good but rather we had the same track for 3/5 fights and the track for both parts of P4 was just a vocal remix of the P1-3 theme. Now we have the instrumental version of this for 5, this one is only in 2 fights, 8 has its own theme, and judging by orchestrion rolls, 8's savage exclusive phase will have its own theme as well. No more going insane listening to ancient shackles for the 600th time while you wipe to phoinix in PF.

[@zecendia]

@@gackybass Also ,while yeah the p8 theme isnt "as good as the p4 theme",it instead has super cool music reference stuff,namely the ascian fight theme (used for chrysalis and the iggy/laha fight) aswell as the akadaemia anyder piano.I know people will write it off because it isnt a cool vocal theme,but its just such a nice details about it.

[@AnMoron]

P8 being a blend of Without Shadow, Thunderer and Shadows Withal is the coolest shit ever. Hic Svnt Leones has a natural buff anyway, since it's basically a 2nd phase theme that plays during the first phase. So it should be compared to whatever comes out in a week.

[@coolyeh1017]

I also don't really blame Soken here sibce he was likely still recovering from cancer while EW was going on and he and his team were busy with the main expansion music.

[@martonszentkiralyi2251]

I have a theory since 6.0, first 2 raids will be about terrible monsters and corruption, third will be about temptation, creatures/ascians that weaponize beauty, like Lakshmi Asphodel=>Abyss=>Elysium

[@Reddeth2]

@@martonszentkiralyi2251 do we not know for sure that the last layer is Tartaros?

[@ShadedChrome]

@@Reddeth2 Tartaros was the last layer, but we already dealt with that layer on P8. Since Elysium is the peaceful afterlife/paradise and considering where the Pandaemonium is now... Elysium is what I'd suspect for the final tier as well.

[@azuredragon8388]

What I'm most interested in from the lyrics is 2 things, specifically the 2 literary references in "your pound is paid" and "We're all mad here". The former being an allusion to Merchant of Venice, being a harsh punishment to pay off a debt and the latter being from Alice in Wonderland. Alice has been in this world so long that she's been irreversibly changed from who she used to be. How I see it, Hephaistos on his imposed "debt" to Athena in bringing her back. The other Warders at this point have been warped and twisted under his influence, unable to escape. They're now irreversibly "mad" and are now intent on turning Erichtonios and Lahabrea "mad" too to Hephaistos's ends.

[@Danothyus1]

The way i see, following from the later circle 4 theme, is that this song is about the corruption from the wardens by Hefaiston, but also as the reveal of the true intentions of Athena to Erichtonius. The first song was strangely upbeat for how terrifying we've saw Pandaemonium as it is, but i think it represents well in hindsight now with how Hesperos was completely turned mad by the place, as well as how Erich thinks so highly of Pandaemonium itself because is it his mother's legacy. Now with circles 6 and 7, we, alongside Erichtonius, start to realize how deep the rabbit hole of Pandaemonium and Athena goes, the wardens here are not fully mad but are slowly being changed by Hefaiston,and indirectly,by Athena, so the main melody is much more somber than its was with Hesperos because of this realization.

[@NocteClan55]

I have this song stuck in my head, it's one of the best theme's they have done so far. Soken is awesome 👍
