I love the how the three songs that play when the Fall approaches all compliment each other. The town's new song shows us how the public feels: totally lost within a sea of despair. It's as if we'll never see the town or anything else ever again when Nyx arrives. The 3rd school theme on the other hand shows that despite the fear, you can still find normalcy within your peers and your teachers, that even if tragedy is soon to fall (Ikutsuki's rolling in his grave) with that pun) humanity won't just mindlessly submit itself to fear. This theme on the other hand shows how certain people wouldn't simply resist fear, they will actively fight it. You and your teammates all have the strength to move forward. None of you are willing to die kneeling. You are all Living With Determination.

Tldr; make every second count of your life count, and continue moving forward

[@SlyJMan]

I played this game over three years ago and am only now realizing that this uses the beat from the normal dorm music and combines it with the piano from the sad time/tragic backstory music. This is such a perfect way to portray to the player the looming sadness in the normally happy dorm and at the same time the joy and hope being around your friends brings you in this melancholy time.

This theme is absolutely perfect. To some, it adds a sense of gloom to the normal dorm music. To others, like me, it adds a spark of hope to the sad music of the game. To some, this is the road to the end. To others, it’s the preparation to overcome their most daunting trial yet.

[@themostdeadmeme1609]

This track is a masterpiece as it perfectly captures the ideas that the player has that you and the crew is basically fucked. But something about it feels hopeful in a way. Because that's what I believe 3 and 5 (never played 4 but I'll get around to it) is amazing at displaying. Even though you, and everyone you care about has basically no chance at survival against whatever tyrannical, borderline godlike being threatens humanity, it's better to fight with the hope of winning, rather than cower in fear and accept fate. Because you control your destiny, and leaving it to the whims of others means only sorrow. So never give up, because a happy future is on the horizon. Unless you're the protagonist otherwise you're completely fucked.

[@Da1337Man]

The struggle against Nyx is imo much more hopeless than against Yaldabaoth. In 5, while Yaldabaoth is certainly an intimidating foe to be reckoned with, he's still just an egomaniac on a power trip who is not unbeatable. But just the very idea of trying to fight Nyx, a being that is necessary for life itself and not even hostile by nature is just so depressing. Even if you *somehow* defied logic itself and beat her, what then? You just got rid of the concept of death itself, a cosmic force that without it, life cannot exist.

You spend the entire game witnessing others die, and when you reach this point in the game, the thought of your OWN death fills you with sadness and dread. You’re used to seeing it happen to others, but not YOURSELF. And once you actually accept it and know it’s going to happen to YOU, and SOON, it makes you put your entire life into perspective. This theme invokes a sense of immense fear, but also hope. The fear of dying and closing your eyes forever, but also the will to keep trying despite that inevitability. This song is a masterpiece.
