Terminal lucidity is a term coined by German biologist, Michael Nahm, that refers to an unexpected return of mental clarity and memory, or suddenly regained consciousness that occurs in the time shortly before death in patients suffering from severe psychiatric or neurological disorders. This makes it all the more haunting.

[@infinityheart_tm9270]

It’s quite literally your life flashing before your eyes. And the Delirium ending does exactly that before cutting to Isaac’s skeleton being found.

This doesn't really convey the chaotic and insane nature of Delirium as much as Ridiculon's theme, but what this does do amazingly is be a final boss theme. Because that's what Delirium is even in Repentance, a final boss that represents the very last moments of Isaac's conscience as his life is coming to an end. Delirium is the end of Isaac's life, and this theme absolutely nails that.

[@Sumautisticguy]

The song name makes sense now

[@Cobalt360]

Idk ridiculons theme is constant music that is kind of the same throughout which makes it seem less chaotic than this where it changes rhythm, speed, tone pretty fast (plus I love the detail of the breathing effect, almost as if we can hear Isaac himself suffocating in the box)

True, but I'd say the beast is more final because the fight occurs after he gets sent to hell and is a rite of passage to get to heaven

It's gonna be really difficult for Mudeth to top that track in my eyes (It's honestly the best music in base Isaac aside from Sketches of Pain imo), but I'd still be very interested to see what he would have in mind for Dogma.

[@Glory2Snowstar]

I love the gradual additions of more and more different melodies and instruments, absolutely perfect for a boss which gradually adds more and more forms and attacks. The way your music fits their scenarios so flawlessly is a skill that never ceases to amaze.

[@mudeth]

Thank you so much

[@chillyconmor]

terminal as in the end of something and lucidity as in comprehension or clarity. this could mean isaacs final moments in the chest as he hallucinates and his brain decays causing the end of his comprehension of reality and is why void and delerium are so fucked up and random

[@nyarlatneferet]

terminal lucidity is a state of dementia where right before a patient dies they can remember things again

[@chillyconmor]

@@nyarlatneferet i guess in this case it makes sense because terminal lucidity only happens to a patient right before death but it only affects people with 'severe psychiatric or neurological disorders' and isaac seemingly goes the opposite way from a clearer conscience
