NieR: Automata | Pascal | Pascal's village theme lyrics

[@RepublicofODLUM]

I'll never forget that first time going to the village and seeing all these robots waving their little white flags around, it immediately endeared this game to me for life, that one single moment.

[@javierpedroza867]

Same thing happened to me, that's one of those moments that touches your heart, that really makes you grateful for being a gamer. Nier Automata is an amazing journey, a timeless masterpiece, one that I will always keep in my heart.

[@AaronAsherRandall]

Wow, same here. What an unexpected and beautiful scene. This is honestly the first game I’ve played since I was a kid where I feel so immersed in the beauty of the game, story and music.

[@yeez13]

The first time I went, I went for the Ending for destroying them all. Haunting and incredibly agonizing are the minimum of how I’d describe it. I felt so bad that I turned the game off for a week before being able to go back into the Village. If I had tried to attempt it again as A2... I would’ve just not considered completing the game at all. That’s how effective they were with the world and it’s characters

[@stefanakosmar]

I just felt that and I came here to figure out what language this is but it appears its a fictional language, the artists interpretation of the evolution of language in thousands of years from now. Interesting!

[@Yourcupofapplesauce]

This game single-handedly changed my temperament, I remember walking into this village feeling like they were leading me into an ambush. I was ready to destroy everyone, and in the end I felt so awful about it I ugly cried. Applied to it life, stopped going into situations with my guard and sword up. I felt such a positive change afterwards! Do you still think games are silly little things?

[@ZIDsVids]

As a gamer in my 30's and I can say this is an exact moment in my life I can recall exactly, precisely. I turned the corner to the village and I stopped dead in my tracks, to a vision I never envisioned. You're right James, I cried too...and I still do when I'm reminded by this beautiful, sincere melody. What a masterpiece in game and song.

[@adnpositivo333]

Not at all I really think some videogames are the future of books and novels, as a psychoanalyst this game made me revisit philosophy and the true meaning of being human.

[@Phantom_Gabriel]

I remember my mom hearing this while I was playing it and she was confused as all hell cos it sounded German and she knows alittle of German (she worked over in Germany for a bit) but it didn't make any sense until I explained the game uses chaos language which she was quite interested as she never heard anything like that

[@caiovm7561]

This is by far my favorite song in a game. It's catchy, emotional, and creates such a warming atmosphere for one one of my favorite moments in this game. When you find out that the "evil robots" actually have a culture, families, and are more human than you could think.

[@ethanmt90]

Playing this for the first time in 2022, all the songs were excellent for atmosphere and setting, but this song in particular. The first time you experience, just like that other commenter said, it endears you to the world and makes you feel apart of this living post humanity world. My favorite genre is post apocalyptic world, this song made nier probably my favorite. The lore is so deep for it to have come from an alternate ending to another game series, but that’s the greatest thing about it, that creativity. This song and the family aspect of the machines who’ve abandoned that life, it sums up the melancholy of the game so well.

[@cloudhendrix736]

hope you have an amazing experience just like the rest of us who played this awesome game

[@takakocaesar579]

I really love how this soundtrack is sung with a high pitch, like a child’s voice. Gives the soundtrack an innocent and peaceful feeling. It almost seems like the child machines are singing this

The lyrics might seem to be weird for some, but the more I thought about the lyrics they kind of make sense. Since Nier Automata is so far in the future it‘s quite possible that a new language mixed out of many other languages we know of today might develop over the centuries.

[@qplaqpla]

The game is set around 11,000 AD, and much like Pascal's deep dive into humanity, its possible that the language in this music is an amalgam of all languages, and it may actually make sense in its context. It's described as "chaos" language, but it's essentially treating all world languages as though they were just one language, which is my theory as to why the lyrics are so alien. It's like a universal human language.

[@vergildisparda]

@@qplaqpla Chaos!? Aliens!? HERESY!

[@barrybend7189]

The language is actually from Drachengard. It's the language of the gods and magic. It's just used by the time of Nier Automata because it's the only language to survive the apocalypse.

And i stopped fighting and was just blown away that they were all peaceful(except the ones on the rollercoaster for some reason?) I was literally just... in awe lol

This entire area and characters fill this song with such innocence. It gives the feeling that, with this song, they fight against Inuart's statement of "Welcome to a world without song", as if, this song would simbolize a glimpse of hope against the cold silence of a neverending war-filled mind.

[@tubebammy]

I loved coming to this village just for the peace and tranquility. This and the theme park were the two places I constantly visited when I just wanted to chill and relax. So coming back to this village after it was destroyed I was DECIMATED and I legitimately cried. Then when playing as 2A and Pascal begged you to delete his memories or kill him I just didnt know what to do, so all I could do was cry. Cuz deleting his memories meant he would forget 2B and 9S, but then killing him would just... well end him entirely, and you had the option to walk away, but you didnt wanna just leave him in pain. I mean Christ on a fuckin crucifix this game was just an emotional rollercoaster.
