The Stains of Time | Metal Gear Rising | Cover by GO!! Light Up!

[@GOLightUp]

LYRICS *VERSE 1* Wash away the anger Here I stand beneath The warm and soothing rain The droplets falling Gently down on the terrain Wash away the sorrow All the stains of time But there's no memory It's only dry inside In the mud and sinking deeper Into a peaceful life *CHORUS 1* And it will come Like a flood of pain Pouring down on me And it will not let up Until the end is here And it will come Through the darkest day In my final hour And it will never rest Until the clouds are clear Until it finds my dreams have disappeared *VERSE 2* Wash away the anger Giving in to warm and All-consuming pain May it be me Who’s falling down on the terrain Only one thing Can absorb the stains of time Without their memories One only dies inside Everything’s becoming clearer Every piece of lies *CHORUS 2* And it will come Knocking at the door Taking out a knife Enjoy your weakness and Start running for your life And it will come Does it matter when Is your final hour? And I will never rest Until the day I die This is my only reason to survive *CHORUS 3* And it will come Like a flood of pain Pouring down on me And it will not let up Until the end is here And it will come Through the darkest day In my final hour And it will never rest Until the clouds are clear Until it finds my dreams have disappeared My dreams disappear

Monsoon is honestly so meta. Expresses that memes are extremely impactful for our understanding of the world. This obviously becomes a meme about how he takes memes too seriously, which impacts people's perception of how memes actually have no impact on how people think. Thereby proving Monsoon correct.

[@beardofknowledge3792]

MGS:R has proven time and again to be exceedingly well crafted for this reason, among others. While it remains a hack-and-slash cyborg beat-em-up, it's still a commentary on our society and it's flaws- and successes. MGS is full of these kinds of golden lessons, if you look beyond the surface. Even the fact you can reply MGS:R over and over speals to Sam's point, about accepting what you are: he feels Raiden (and by extension, the player) needs to stop feeling like a monster, and simply do what needs be done, in this case, murder. It isn't until Raiden takes up Sam's sword- a weapon, not a tool- that he embraces it. And then, you, as the player, finish the game... And find yourself trying to beat your previous best- harder difficulties, faster times, challenges, and so on. No longer are you concerned with the morality of your actions, just what your objective is. These nameless people you heard screaming at you in act 3, wanting to go home and forget the war? You stop emphasizing. Instead, you're annoyed it takes so long to progress through it. They stopped mattering, their fears and hopes, because you know they don't involve you beyond being an obstacle in your way. In short, you become what Sam, and later Armstrong, believes- the strong, making the choice of violence for the sake of themselves. Not Justice- but Vengeance. Against the bosses you struggled with, against the weaker you who couldn't keep up, against the system that contains you. No longer are you a tool, but a weapon. So yeah, pretty neat.

[@normi9033]

Well, what we define as "meme" is not what Monsoon is talking about. He refers to ideologies, behaviours or styles that get spread by culture or different means. It's not the idea of "funny pic hehe" that gets taken seriously. We call it propaganda, because there's a goal behind those "memes".

[@JohnWilliams-wl9px]

Monsoon is referring what memes a actually means. The internet changed the meaning of it.

[@dragon1130]

@@JohnWilliams-wl9px Did it though? I mean yeah sure, we see "funny picture haha insert words" and call them memes but, isn't that exactly what they are; ideas that get spread around from person to person? Sure, there are more ways to spread a meme, but,any kind of idea that gets spread via a culture be it a flag that represents freedom, or a picture of some dumb, but lovable, telling you to shut up and take his money, is still an idea. It still represents something and that meaning changes overtime and from person to person. Are those not what is needed for memes to thrive?

"this is my only reason to survive" hits so hard

[@joeltrekwars2162]

"And it will come knocking at the door, taking out a knife; enjoy your weakness and start running for your life. And it will come, does it matter when? is your final hour? And I will never rest until the day I die. This is my only reason to survive." This is... very evocative. From Raiden's perspective, this is exactly what Sam's psychological warfare on him feels like. Sam's mockery of his cause is exactly "enjoy[ing] your weakness and start running for your life". But, of course, Raiden embraces the killing and death he's inflicted, since, if he is the same as his foes, why not behave like them *towards* them? I'm interested to hear your take on Return to Ashes, or even A Soul Cannot Be Cut. The first one I think you'd do a very good take on it, since it's essentially the prelude to Collective Consciousness in a roundabout way; we even see Armstrong in the hacked cyborg's memories talking to the Mexican brain scientist, so that's gotta count for something.

Жиза, но блин, кавер слабоват к сожалению. Если обычно треки из самого мгр средние по эмоциональности, то каверы от Go! Light Up и Little V прям взрывают своим голосом, тот же The Stranger I Remain на этом канале прям топовый, максимально высекают громко и чётко слова песни, а главное эмоционально, или у V кавер на Rules of Nature, тоже прям орёт, рвёт и мечет. А сегодня вышло наоборот, оригинал как-то больше играет голосом что-ли на моменте AND IT WILL COME, а тут более менее однотипный голос, хотя обычно певица вообще не стесняется петь обычным голосом а потом взрываться высокими нотами где это надо. Кароче вышло к сожалению слабенько как помне

I was always wondering what your cover of the stains of time would turn out to be. But WOW, you made the song more nihilistic than I thought possible, AND I LOVE IT. Some parts were a bit awkward, but in the end, the cover is fantastically well done, ESPECIALLY the second verse and chorus, my God those lyrics are just, damn they are just phenom-enal! When I heard The second verse and chorus, i begun think about how relating this is to a character of mine, whom has been forced to be "Giving into the warm and all consuming pain", and left with nothing other than survival, "And I will never rest until the day I die! This is my only reason To SURVIIII-I-I-IVE!"

[@Cyro_Gen]

With every song you cover, you amp up everything: Lyrics, Backing Track, Percussion It all has emotion, this is truly a good meme I will pass onto future generations. For those confused, the memes in the Metal Gear Universe are not a repost of some funny image or video, but rather an ideal or thought that is passed onto another person. This was the theme of MGS2: SoL, where you should find something to believe in or enjoy and pass it on to others. So... I guess in our time that's a funny video or image, huh? "What an age we live in, huh Raiden? I wonder what they'll think of next." (Whoops, wrong game, that's MGSV: GZ)

[@kindaway]

Little correction: Memes are like that not only in mgs universe. It's an actual definition of memes. It just happens that memes being funny pics is more popular definition than others (due to obvious reasons)
