Vanessa must be the most sad character in the Cytus Ⅱ, cuz if you look at her's Os System, the main character took hers existence... Spoilers: In Cytus Ⅲ, maybe the main character will be Vanessa. Will she try to rescue humanity, or continue to live with nothing but Architects?

[@xetearVI]

KACA rawr yes. and after that they make A.R.C and then we all freeze. you know what I mean.

[@linyixiu3122]

I noticed something. Some part of the lyrics, if not all, are taken from the various story cutscenes or songs of the different characters. (The explanation below contains spoilers btw) E.g. 'wake up' is from ivy speaking to vanessa when the latter is trapped in the ARC Library 'Can you hear the gravity' is a line from Gravity in PAFF i think? (That's why in the opening animation it shows the disguised paff walking down the rainy streets when that line is sung) 'while they tore us apart' comes from 'Still', one of Cherry's songs 'pursue 'your own' freedom and dreems' is a line from a Robohead cutscene which is a request from Nora to Robohead to do so since she is afraid that it will be caught by Mogura if it continues to stay with her. 'your own' is in inverted commas because robohead's ideals are programmed or taught by nora so whatever robohead thinks is really nora's and is thus technically not robohead's ideas These are the few I could pick up.

[@frey5218]

Nice fine! The lyrics are so well written. I'm also pretty sure that there are samples of other songs from Cytus being used here but I guess that's common I think.

[@tempemendoan3665]

I’d like to add 1 more, the ‘do you remember’ line might be the Neko’s part when she and her 80.000 views got their memories erased. But that’s just my speculation and please correct me if I wrong 😂

[@shibahyperion7635]

"so we break it" -breaking Hyperion protocol "The rule of [d]ark is now end up" - Down with ARC "take your soul back and stand up" - instead of letting them run Cytus through Vanessa, she needs to wake up and act on her own

단어 찾아가면서 하느라 정확하지 않을 순 있지만... Wake up 일어나 Can you hear the gravity 들을 수 있겠니 is now on beat 박자에 있는 중력을 Tell me what is fake and real 말해줘 무엇이 가짜이고 진실인지 On the edge of lie and truth 거짓과 진실의 테두리에서 Can you recognize yourself? 너 자신을 알아볼 수 있어? Don’t you remember what they said to you? 그들이 너에게 하는 말이 기억나지 않니? The rumors hurt your feel 너에게 상처를 입힌 소문들 The rumors against your will 너의 의지와 관계없는 소문들 Don’t give it up 포기하지 마 Go pursue “your own” freedom and dreams "너 자신"의 자유와 꿈을 추구해 While they tore us apart 그들이 우리 사이를 찢는 동안 Then we all alone 그러면 우리는 모두 혼자야 Now we all alone 이제 우리는 모두 혼자야 So we break it, we break it, we break it 그래서 우리는 부수고, 부수고, 부술거야. The rule of (d)ark is time to end up (어둠)방주의 규율은 끝날 시간이야 Take your soul back and now stand up 정신을 되찾고 일어나 True north of your heart 진실된 네 마음의 북쪽에서 You will see who you are 너는 네가 누군지 알 수 있을거야. Burn to ashes into the sun 태양 속에서 잿더미로 불타 Till the end of day you’ll find out from your heart 너의 마음속에서 너가 찾아낼 하루의 끝에 Seeking the whole rest of brand new world 완전히 새로운 세계를 찾아 We break it, we break it, reload the faith in your eyes 우리는 부수고, 부숴 네 눈에 신념을 다시 넣을거야 We chase it, we chase it, love used to be in our mind 우리는 쫒고, 쫒겟어 우리의 마음 속에 있던 사랑을 We break it, we break it, we believe the truth won’t buried alive 우리는 부수고, 부숴 진실이 묻히지 않음을 믿겠어

It's a thing called dubstep. Dubstep was never on the radio.

[@Yeerica]

holy fuccckckkkk the jazz segue is so smooth

[@Cane-Aubright]

I have somewhat more fluent lyrics here. What I did was really just cleaning up the Engrish in the original to make it sound more natural. Hopefully you enjoy my interpretation of the lyrics. Here they are: ~start~ Wake up Can you hear the gravity It’s now on beat Tell me what is fake and real On the edge of finding truth Can you recognize yourself? Don’t you remember What they said to you? That you must hurt to feel That they must take your will Don’t give it up Go pursue “your own” freedom and dreams While they tore us apart Till we all’re alone Now we all’re alone So we break out We break in We break it! Among the [D]arkest times you’ll aid us Take your soul back as all stand up True north of your heart You will see who you are Burn to ashes, into the sun Till the end of day you’re fighting From your heart Seeking the whole rest of Brand new world We break in We break it Reload the faith in your eyes We chase it We chase the Love used to be in our mind We break in We break it We believe the truth will bury our lies ~end~

[@loadingsolate]

*We believe the truth won't buried alive

[@Cane-Aubright]

*_my interpretation_*

[@noteblockcvl2260]

You don't have to, but I think a complete rewrite would be much better, since the way you edited parts of it, doesn't sound quite right.

[@Cane-Aubright]

Yeah, you’re right, but I’ll leave that up to others.

[@theamazingwrabbit]

Why write "now we all're alone" instead of "now we're all alone"? it wouldnt break meter and would be much more natural Also last original line was a reference to Cytus 1 - Buried and Alive were 2 songs from Ch: Alive directly related to Vanessa, which is why i think it was originally written like that. May I suggest "We believe the truth's not Buried Alive" ?
