Rules of Nature: The law of the wild. Kill or be killed. I’m My Own Master Now: No chains to hold me, I am free. A Stranger I Remain: The desolate search for purpose. A place to belong if only for a time. The Hot Wind Blowing: Soldiers follow orders. What’s the point? I rise above and fight for more. The Stains of Time: Violence comes and goes as nature dictates until we die. Even as our hopes die it will go on until the inevitable end. Red Sun: The bloodthirsty paradise, an Eden of violence. The Only Thing I Know for Real: Identity lost to the madness and violence. Collective Consciousness: The power of the executive and the enslaved minds of the people. It Has to Be This Way: The sad clash of two unrelenting yet similar people. Mirror images of themselves, but only one walks forward while the other will bleed out into the soil, to water the ground for the future.

I really like how the wikia page describes the last song "The lyrics cover the personal admission, almost an apology, that the singer and their opponent have to fight against each other, even though there's little fault of their own or even any real reason for fighting, as violence begets violence. It can be interpreted as Armstrong and/or Raiden coming to recognize the similarities between their personal philosophies - similarities that allow them to understand each other's motivations, but which also force them to battle to the death." IN short, that in a way the two COULD have gotten along since they both agree that violence just breeds more violence but sadly they too have to fight for their views.

[@cristianbernal8009]

It's because the designers knew they couldn't fit in the backtory and motivations of the bosses into the game without sacrificing pacing. So they decided that you could put them safely into the songs of their bossfights and as players hopefully replayed it, they'd just get it. That's also why you have times in the boss fights where there are no lyrics like the copies, they're only the same physically and not mentally so they don't get the lyrics, or when Sam gets his sword knocked out. He's only at peace and calm when he's not fighting. Same with Sundowner, he's not himself hiding behind his shields so when you slice them off and he engages in his butcher mode does the lyrics pop out because he's finally *him*. It's a minor decision that had huge impacts in the game itself and we are so lucky they took this approach to it.

It has to be this way,The only thing I know for real,Rules of Nature is pretty much the only thing mostly related to the story It has to be this way is about Death,Life being gone but it nothing more than normal thing that happen in our world,even if World War III happen,a human will still be born beneath the blood of human death,and Violence breed violence,it like you talking shit to someone,then it bring violence then the violence bring even more violence, So many life gone but nobody to blame,yes many life gone but who to blame? Death could happen without Human even doing it,there is no point of not killing or killing cause Human will die anyway Rules of Nature is about only strong can live on,and the weak shall perish which is also make sense, because Woman are weaker than man and you know what happen mostly to woman? R#pe,Only Stronger can rule,like Hitler,he is evil and has no good point on living,but he is stronger than us It rules of Nature,that how our reality work you can't defy that Rule that nature made The only thing I know for real is about,when war happen you go to the place it is just a desolated place that has no trace of living being,you don't know the season but what is the reason of knowing what the day what the season? You are standing there fighting for your life without a reason to do it,then again the only thing we can be sure when fighting in war there will be bloodshed Man in the mirror nod his head,kind of refer of you being proud of yourself for what you have done,The only one... LEFT will ride upon the dragon back,is referring to a guy in war that have the most known history as the only one Cause the mountains don't give back what they take,this referring to your decision in life,1 small decision can make big impact to your life like wasting even 1second of your time,God won't give back what you have done.

[@Xx_SuperPenis_xX]

I like collective consciousness and rules of nature

[@ninetailorochimaru]

I think the thing I like the most about this soundtrack, is all these people can be represented as pieces of Raiden. What I mean by this, is that the themes work for both the villain, AND Raiden as well. Rules of nature is the strong vs the weak, hunter vs. Prey... But Raiden or Ray... Which is which? I'm my own master now is about control. An Ai being forced to fight or lose its self, believes that it is in charge of itself and it is the one choosing to fight. Raiden in MGS4 said he wouldn't be anyone's tool anymore, and yet here he is, following some code that even he doesn't know what it means anymore. Is he truly free? Are any of them? A Stranger I remain. Mistral and Raiden are both technically from overseas. He was a child soldier in Liberia, Mistral was a child soldier from Algeria. In the end, being on the battlefield they both were able to cut loose and it's there they found their purpose. It's where they were happy...but why? The Stains of Time. Monsoon and Jack. Both scarred by war. Pain. Pain washes over both of them. The difference, is Jack the Ripper relishes pain. He feels the pain to "remember what he fights for" which is so no one will have to feel the pain he does. If he feels pain, it means he is taking that pain from someone else, Monsoon on the other hand is filled with so much pain, he wants to spread it to everyone else. That in the end, life is pain, and that's all there is. You feel pain, drown in the mud, and die. Red Sun. The Glory or Devastation of War depending on how you view the lyrics. You can view it as, a paradise happening as a result, or a paradise being RUINED as a result. "I the distance machines come to transform Eden day by day" this line sticks out to me as child soldiers, "machines" going onto the battlefield, and destroying things on site in the case of Raiden. He was destroying beautiful scenery, leaving things to rot, and the peace he found with himself was, it was meant to happen. Because he was a machine. In terms of Jacked Bezos, it is talking about the glory of the battlefield. Beautiful scenery, heavenly lands, the circle of life etc... It's natural. To him he's in nature taking in the scenery. The only thing I know for real. Raiden again is questioning his own motives. He can't just be doing this because he loves to kill, can he? There has to be some deeper meaning. Why is he fighting? Why does he care? What is his goal? We'll he knows his goal but why IS IT his goal? Sam it's not that he doesn't know why he is fighting, it's we the viewer who's confused as to why they're fighting. That's my interpretation at least as I have not played the DLC. Colloctive Conciousness. It's literal in both ways. What I mean by this is it can be viewed as Raiden arguing against these points and saying them defiantly and sarcastically, where Armstrong is embodying and saying these things. It Has to be this way. This is where we come full circle. Raiden finally realizes why he fights. Because he, was weak, and no one fought for him. He had to fight for himself, and he does not anyone to become like him. If Armstrong has his way, it will be The Strongest will Survive. The weak will no longer have a voice. Raiden then embodies all of his enemies and their virtues into realizing his purpose and how he was molded. He started weak but became strong. The hunter became his prey. He was under control of his beliefs but had no idea why. He realises he is not under his beliefs control. No, he CHOOSES to follow his beliefs. He found what he was looking for. He suffers on the battlefield so no one else has to. Pain is his motivator. He hates others being subjected to pain if they don't have to. The weak don't deserve it. He will kill like a machine if he has to, to change the lands into the Eden he once knew. He now knows why he fights and who he is. He is the voice of the weak. He is Raiden. He is Lightning, the Rain Transformed. Stay Awes9me.

Ya know, when I played the game I thought that "Collective consciousness" was Armstrong's song and that "It has to be this way" represented Raiden. As he came to the end of his journey he learned from his past opponents and realized that it's not about fighting for the right cause, for who is he to judge the right from wrong, but about fighting for what he believes in. As how much a meme this game is, the soundtrack is what makes it stand out for me the most.

Best soundtrack I have ever heard. When my cat heard it, he broke every rule of nature. My grandparent's dog became her own master. As for me, I was just a stranger until I heard it, despite the fact that the hot wind was blowing stains onto the sun. Now, the only thing I know for real in my collective consciousness is that it has to be this way.

For me it's: 1. Stains of time (it's fast and intense and I love monsoon) 2. Red sun (the guitar at the start and the chorus is one of the best things I've heard) 3. The only thing I know for real (bit overplayed but still good) 4. Collective consciousness (THE UNENLIGHTENED MASSES) 5. It has to be this way (the vocals are godly) 6. The hot wind blowing (it's fast and intense ) 7. Rules of nature ( I have nothing to complain about it's good) 8. Stranger i remain ( it starts a bit slow but I love the chorus) 9. I'm my own master now (it's good but not it's not something that I can really get into) Note: i don't necessarily dislike any of them it's just that I like others more than some songs and threatening me in the replies won't help at all

I feel new life could be born beneath The blood stained sand.
