Undying Phoenix - Scrapped Xanthus Song (+FLP)

[@JazzyKayyy]

I really really love this nominal! Felt so emotional and from the lyrics it really reminds me of reason to hide and bitter reunion I believe xanthus says Ohhh I’m the one who has to pick up the pieces I’m the one who has to set thing straight I’m the one who has to make things better I’m the one who has to fix all his mistakes I know that you’re afraid I know that you’re scared I understand your pain But death is not the answer Death is but a bruise I can take the pain away So you don’t have to

[@NominalDingus]

death is but a ruse, but bruise kinda goes hard ngl lol

[@Ultimate_dumbass69]

@@NominalDingusare you still working on the lore rework for Xanthus?

[@NominalDingus]

@@Ultimate_dumbass69 yes

[@Thecabellocreator]

first part kinda reminds me of Steven universe

[@Ultimate_dumbass69]

@@Thecabellocreator it reminded me of a FNAF song Mr Fazbear or whatever its called

[@MouroboshiArchives]

i'd name this "dumped for days" and it could take place in an AU where Xanthus isn't entirely evil and instead is a tarnished version of sonic's father after failing to seek peace with the green hills and the forces of dr. robotnik.

[@NominalDingus]

strangle specific but also fairly interesting concept

[@MouroboshiArchives]

@@NominalDingus thank you!

[@Justadude8108]

Interesting take

[@Dainian2008]

_"I know that you're afraid_ _I know that you're scared._ _I understand your pain._ _But death is not the answer,_ _Death is but a ruse!_ _I can take the pain away....._ _So you don't have to..."_ This is why I like your songs so much. I can FEEL the passion put into them, even scrapped songs like this. Fire song! 🔥

Stripped of his title, the former king couldn't have imagined his position threatened in any way, and yet, two humans and a demoness had destroyed everything that he had built... Boyfriend... he reminded Xanthus of someone. He was clearly audacious, matched only by his stupidity. While he wouldn't admit it, Xanthus enjoyed the challenge his blue-haired adversary offered. Had it not been for the Jester, all would've been well. Now, with a kingdom stripped from him, Xanthus left with nothing but his knight and what few followers he had left. He was still a king, yes, but he was without a kingdom. So, with no allies to call upon, that left him with the only option. Xanthus could never truly understand who the blue blur was. Some say he was a hero, hope made manifest, and others say he's a menace, an unstoppable cyclone. Many answers from many people, yet there was no definitive answer. To the king, he was chaos made manifest. But perhaps, that chaos is exactly what he needs to regain his birthright. Perhaps Sonic understood what Xanthus couldn't.

[@NominalDingus]

@JustVince7810 AND THEN XANTHUS USED HIS SUPER LASER EYES TO BLOW EVERYONE UP!! BBSSGH BRRRROOOWWWW!! PEW PEW!! BRRAAHHH!! AND THEN! AND THEN! AND THEN SONIC WAS LIKE "OH NO! HOW COULD YOU DEFEAT ME XANTHUS!!" AND XANTHUS WAS LIKE "YOU FOOL, I AM THE UNDYING PHOENIX V2!!" AND HE BLEW EVERYONE UP WITH HIS OMEGA POWERS!! yeah, that um... good story you wrote, I like it, good job

For a scrapped song, this was absolutely incredible to listen to. I don’t think I ever jammed more to a scrapped song than I have now. I can understand why it was scrapped, and I think with the lyrics, you created a “soft side” to Xanthus. Keep up the great work, man, and I hope you’re doing goog (good).

[@GlitchedSlime]

I'm glad you're still doing things. I got a lot of mixed messages from the past few posts/videos, hope you're feeling better!

Man why do the scrapped songs gotta sound so good man. Anyways I really enjoyed this song even though it's scrapped sadly but you did pretty well! I mean this song could fit another character or it can be for an AU but overall this song is pretty good! Remember to take breaks man and take it easy! :)

I could see this as Xanthus singing with Loss. BuT hEy, THaaAat’s just A tHeoRy, A GAME THEORY!

[@plasmaemerald8407]

This was honestly more than I expected, this was REALLY GOOD! I genuinely love the very powerful instrumental and the amazing combination of note patterns. You can especially hear it at 1:52-2:06. The lyrics were also very well constructed and well performed. I can honestly see this as an alternate “Reason to Hide” sequel. Not sure who is the main player but i theorized it to be tails with the strong resemblance to the FoF vowels. Honestly really good song, I hope your doing good! Remember that you matter and make a positive influence into the world!✨

Like, i know its not suppose to sound that sad and stuff but, damn. The last lyrics part got me in a way that i could never explain. Some parts touched some deep parts of my soul, like i could feel that this was meant for me or somethin'. I know it wasnt and stuff. I really felt emotional after listening to that. Never thought that a FNF music would make me feel that way. Ur the best, NomNom.

[@A.Z.296]

put some polish on it and it could be a very emotional song about Xanthus after his defeat at the end of The Fighters. He tries to get up to retake his throne, but realizes that even if he did, he'd be the ruler of a kingdom with no subjects. And I guess this could be some kid who doesn't wanna die or something

[@BlueBeepOFFICIAL]

for being unreleased.....this shit fuckin SLAPS!!!

[@valskiplayz3848]

if THIS doesnt fit xanthus BUT it could be used as an endgame song from the Aftermath of the Fighters and have Majin say those lines towards the now liberated fighters speaking like a new ruler

[@YourLocalPixil]

i feel like this would be an AU where Xanthus wanted to help instead of destroy, but he did the opposite of what he wanted to do, and Sonic got in the way where he was about to accidently destroy something, and this is what happens when Xanthus realizes what happened.

[@GoldenLejn64]

[@That_1-jv8po]

This could probably be reused for someone else if you really wanted to Not necessarily for UP, but it would be a shame for this to just go to waste Its a really neat song Edit: oh my god wait is the end bit for the lyrics trying to pull a "thank the sun-"

[@FridayNightChiliD0gz]

This song is so very beautiful. It makes me think that Xanthus isn’t just an evil being or a dictator, but a troubled king who is trying to fix his broken kingdom. (Which also makes me see why the song was scrapped.) Is Xanthus singing against Sonic in this?

[@ReliableFan2010]

Xanthus's lyrics made me think he just wants to Retry and Put humanity in good shape again instead of cruel,Unlike Xain.
