The original Iron Lotus was like a raging fire, bombastic, angry and powerful, but the Key Ingredient version feels like the flames have already flickered out... the warmth is disappearing, and all that's left the sadness and grief underneath. Mili is doing an amazing job at revisiting old songs and completely changing the way they feel and sound. I'm looking forward to the next Key Ingredient song!!

I felt shivers when I heard the “you’re my everything” line repeat twice, I feel like this line was super important for many reasons, one being that it’s not repeated twice in the original and two being because no other line in this version repeats twice and three being because it seems to be the line that captures a majority of xiao’s emotions

In strictly Ruina terms, this one makes me think of two things. Original Iron Lotus is angry and triumphant, Xiao loudly proclaiming her intentions to her foes with nothing but rage and resolve, so this is either Distorted Xiao's theme, with the same feelings but bathed in sadness and loss instead of rage and determination, or Xiao's theme once she wins. After burning down the Library, there's nothing left. She can't bring back Lowell like this. Nothing can. Xiao takes the books of her friends and staggers into the street, without an association or a friend, with only fire to serve her.

Greed is unlimited; freedom is a limited resource Extra large for you means less for me I banged the drums Court of hell Demanding a new trial You got the wrong head Would you take mine instead? Stop leading me on World of titan allows me to live Only in the mud down its feet Though you're not with me I'll never admit defeat Every nice thing about me has become Canxiang You showed me I still had an umbrella full of love inside me So thank you for everything It pains me to think That my happiness turned out to be one of those fingers that strangled you until you couldn't breathe Not ashamed to go this way It's my fate I'm on my last white rabbit Naitang I am iron In my blood it streams roots deep With bruises on my knees And ribs crushed down to pieces Nothing left to hold on Actually wait I do have one regret That day before you left me "You're my everything" You're my everything We sucked on Maiyatang

The boss battle where this theme song is composed for in Library Of Ruina is the most memorable fights in the game for me, especially with the story and relationship with the characters that packed along with fight. Being able to listen to this version while recalling the experience from the blind run brings back the weight of realization, crumbling down, that the world within Project Moon's games isn't any different from our real world―it was blindingly burning bright, a flame full of passion that slowly spends our life as long as it continues ablaze within us. Humankind is beautiful yet tragic existence.
