"Scream" (Hegemone x Agdistis Theme) with Official Lyrics | Final Fantasy XIV

[@proy3]

One thing worth pointing out is that this song was made by Takafumi Imamura, one of the composers working under Soken. That's probably why the community got the lyrics so right this time around. Compare it with the P4 theme or even the second phase of P8S and you'll see what I mean. Soken almost seems to treat the vocals as another instrument. There also tends to be some sort of effect layered on top of it, making them hard to decipher. In Scream, though, the vocals are front and center, clear as day.

[@witch_bird_jmh]

Part of it too is Hic Svnt Leones is Soken and Koji singing, and Soken always heavily filters their voices because as they both are the first to point out, they arent professional singers.

[@ttosaj]

What people seem to forget is that vocals ARE another instrument. A lot of songwriters almost seem to try to shove vocals into songs instead of trying to make them work in harmony.

[@Shadethewolfy]

[@TheWickedWizardOfOz1]

I love the evolution from "Scream all you like, your gods can't hear you" to "I'll scream all I like, 'cause we're all mad here." Nobody can hear them, and that makes them scream all the louder for rescue. It plays on a similar idea to the lyrics of Answers, in which Hydaelyn is petitioned for answers ("How can we carry on when redemption's beyond us?") and offers words that just prompt more desperate questions ("Hear what, feel what?"). In Pandaemonium, there are no gods to save us, which makes the act of screaming a mad endeavor... and yet we must scream for some solace or prayer for escape.

The line "Your gods can't hear you" hits all the harder in a fantasy setting where we're literally getting on a first name basis with those gods in *the same patches.*

[@ericbright1742]

It hits pretty hard even limiting it to its own raid story, given the implications of one of the Ancients, Athena, wanting to *become* a God.

[@peoplewhoplaygames]

Lol its funny because Hegenmone and Agdists don't realize we're not trapped in a room with them, they're trapped in a room with us.

[@ericbright1742]

@peoplewhoplaygames You say that, but the way the chorus changes tells me they might have realized it. > Or scream all you like, your gods can't hear you... > Or scream all you like, the gods can't hear you... > I'll scream all I like, 'cause we're all mad here... > So scream all you like, no one can hear us... > So scream if you like, 'cause we're all mad here. Scream all you like, 'cause we're all mad here. Also, the line "Buried alive // In the coffin of who I used to be"

[@ZyxieRumor]

Of course our gods can't hear us. We're fighting them in the Alliance Raid. All jokes aside, yeah it hits hard that we are trap here fighting these former ascians, only relying on each other to do what needs to be done.

[@RuneKatashima]

Guys it's pretty clear it's not about us. Like most boss themes, it's about them. They're locked in a mental prison due to the circumstances of the raid. Stop interpreting the lyrics as if you're the one suffering. It is they who suffer.

[@VideogamesPang]

"Buried alive in the coffin of who I used to be" is such a raw ass line goddamn

You have to be part of smth to truly understand it. Unfortunately my parents never had an interest in understanding why I like certain things and only blame everything I loved for the mental health problems they themselves caused... yeah and now someone is surprised I rarely talk to them more than the bare minimum. Oh the same side of the family that had a 10y feud with their parents when I was a kid. Not that I don't understand it cuz certain grandparents tried to keep me breaking my arm a secret until the doctor tackled that by saying you're calling the parents and the child is not leaving... but like, video games where definitely not the most messed up thing in my childhood tyvm.

[@ryudhal]

The "rescue me, rescue me" is haunting. Beneath all the bluster and grandstanding of the lyrics, that tiny bit of them still left is really just begging for us to save them. While their anger and anguish at their misfortune is the main part of the song, the front, misguidedly trying to spread their misery to the players. Wanting for us to be the lions. Monsters. Like them.

[@Blissiel]

Ah I probably misinterpreted that line. I felt like the beginning was a "welcome to the situation" and following "where do I go from here, be the lion" was a call to challenge them and in the end, rescue them. But my mind was on lion-hearted. Not as in lions are monsters. Confronted with 2 choices, fall into pandemonium or overcome it.

Cannot get enough of this song and amazing knowing the official lyrics! FFXIV never disappoints!

[@TheSingingBUn]

thematically the lyrics make a whole lot of sense in relation to abyssos and the entire plot of pandemoneum. Spoilers to pandemoneum's second tier raid: So here's just my convoluted analysis of the lyrics, but I can only assume that this song scream is in the perspective of Athena even after her death, and the disturbing concepts she hoped to realise into reality. the lost lamb could either Lahabrea himself before their soul union, the victims of Pandemonium or their son. Though, I personally like to think its Lahabrea, which is why I I feel like the song is about the tarnishing of innocent ideals in favour of Athena's terrifying ideals that was slowly plaguing Lahabrea. "Say goodnight; with each bite as your sanity dies" is verily referring to the terrifying ideas slowly consuming Lahabrea before he decidedly cut parts of himself from any emotional ties to Athena. I could almost say this song is a mockery to the slow death of the innocent ideals as the more morally depraved possibilities slowly consume the mind of an idealist. That's just a small sample of ideas that's been tossing in my head as soon as I saw the official release of the lyrics.

[@zenixvampirchik652]

Huh. I thought that cutting part of himself was partly dictated from emotions of Lahabrea, as he seemed hurt by Athena's actions, even if he shown it only just for a moment. (He seemed to care about her and as if he was feeling betrayed?) So maybe it also might allude to emotional part of lahabrea being corrupted by the seed and all. Like how he slowly looses himself in the dark depths of pandaemonium, slowly turning in what Athena wanted from him more or less

[@TheSingingBUn]

@@zenixvampirchik652 I mean, this was sort of a comment I dropped spontaneously when I read the lyrics properly for the first time without revisiting the 2nd tier quest. so, yeah, good points to bring up. I must admit a few details escaped my memory while writing that first comment.

Eh, I don't see it as being about Athena or Lahabrea, but about the Keywards and how they were tortured and mutated by Hephaistos. The song just being their laments and anger as they fight you in their warped, mutated bodies ("Buried alive in the coffin of who I used to be")

I like how the singer's stance shifts over the song. The first part of the song is malicious, taunting and cruel. By the end however, the tone has shifted.

The last "scream all you like" almost sounds like genuine invitation to blow off some steam.

What I also love how all the motifs like Ancient Shackles and Scream have reprises or dark reprises in P12.

In P12 she adds lyrics to Ancient Shackles and in Scream ("You were never truly alive") it shows how much she doesn't give a fuck about anyone else outside of her goal of godhood. Also how Hic Svct Leones is definitely a warning of the Lion, but it isn't Herperos or the monstrosities of Pandemonium, but Athena.

Gods I love the endwalker ost. Every song is a real banger.

I totally love the "alice in wonderland" references in this song

This is the best song that Evanessence never wrote.

The vibe I'm getting from this song is that of an angel-turned-demoness singing to a soul that has recently been consigned to Hell.

Hot damn, talk about journalism. Brotha, I'm glad you caught those talking points. We now know a piece of the puzzle until some of them try to backstab each other. Inevitable!

Was trying to figure out why this song had the bit of re-listenability that some of the other FXIV songs dont have (not that they arent good but I often go out of my way to listen to this one.) and it hit me. As long time player of the first person shooter, this song is very reminiscent of the old CoD Zombies easter eggs

This shit is so fire that im afraid to listen to it in fear of spontaneous combustion.

[@BlazeBuds]

Okay so I have heard this song over 100 times now. Pretty sure the last say goodnight is actually say goodbye to the shadow I left far behind. Sounds like goodbye plus it makes more sense

Last expansion XIV gave us Soulsbourne-looking gear, now they give us a Bloodbourne song

[@CrimsonTentacle]

AND a Bloodborne dungeon! (you cannot tell me Troia doesnt give Yharnam vibes)

The Father approves of this video.

[@Sketchblopp]

Damn, thats one hell of an awesome video! How you merged the fights and cutscenes together and even included the imprisonment of Hegemone in the end.... It is very much living up to the amazing song the video is for. ♥ (The font is also very well chosen. May I ask which one it is?)

[@hungrychad]

Thank you! The font is called "Rose Knight"
