Close In The Distance Lyrics

Whispers, falling silently, drift on the wind
But I hear you
Our journey, now a memory fading from sight
But I see you

Unbroken, promises we made so long ago
You're still here
Unspoken requiem for the river of tears

Flowing, winding, to an eternal sea
And yet our hope remains
Guiding, lighting the way
No time for mourning

Rises on a land reborn from the ashes

With the heavens' true sunset
Blood-red skies tranquil after the storm
Blessed shadow

Turning, wеnding, always night follows day
The sun will shine again
Walk on, nevеr look back
Through you, we live

Tales of loss and fire and faith
Every word on our hearts engraved
In the dark you will not stray
Forge ahead, till the end, we pray

level 1

100% on point as far as I'm concerned. I was pretty much thinking the same thing, you just put my thoughts to words and did so beautifully.

I was definitely a sobbing mess on the floor, and being someone who is very in tune with Thancred and Estinien (else I wouldn't have them as NPC alts), those hit me the hardest. But I was dying inside every step of the way and the music just added to the beautiful poignancy that sacrifice in the name of love can give - because that's exactly what the Scions did. They sacrificed themselves for love - love of their world, love of its people, but most importantly, love of their dear friend the Warrior of Light with whom they've forged a family.

Shit I'm tearing up writing this. But yeah, definitely with you on that. Now to go get me some more tissues.

level 2

This though. Out of the Scions I only have a G'raha alt but each one was like losing a dear friend. It took me hours to get thru Ultima Thule because I just kept having to walk away. It was too painful.

level 2

Yeah, even knowing that the fact that they were leaving the WoL's side, twins especially, during their hardest darkest moment, as each one of them fades off to cling to existence as hard as they can with nothing but the hope that it was gonna work out really crushed me.

For a while I was really scared the scions would end up in a state like Hades and Hythlodaus, where you could call them but they aren't truly alive.

level 2

Yes. I took a long beat and just sat on the side of a platform overlooking everything with the twins by my side. In a way it was as if they and I were overlooking their legacy... a part of them... and I knew I was about to lose them too. I wanted to hold on to them for as long as I could. I had no idea they'd be brought back but eventually i pushed myself forward on the possibility that they might be. G'raha Tia's sacrifice broke me like a thin china plate dropped off the side of the empire state building. I told myself when I started Endwalker that if Y'shtola, G'raha, or either of the twins died that I would cancel my sub and never come back, so of course they would save the big deaths for the very end after I got so invested.

level 2

Walking G'raha's crystal road nearly ended me. He has been my favorite since before he was a Scion, and the speech he gave before his sacrifice - especially his last requests and promise from his dear friend, us - broke my heart hard. Ultima Thule was played out brilliantly and I wish I could experience it again for the first time.

"Rises on a land reborn from the ashes

With the heavens

To sunset, blood-red skies tranquil after the storm

Blessed Shadow"

The land born from the Ashes is reference to ARR

With the heavens = Heavensward

Tranquil after the storm = Stormblood

Blessed Shadow = Shadowbringers

Mother. Fucker. Gahhhhhh they pull this stuff so regularly like some people make themselves cereal in the morning.

level 1

Hey it's only been a day since I finished and I didn't need to be inflicted with knowledge that the final zone's song changes in this way!! :(

level 1

Absolutely nailed it, I’ve listened to this one so many times after finishing the MSQ and it gets me every time.

level 2

I'm not gonna lie, I have been listening to it on repeat for at least 20 minutes.

level 2

you can buy it for the inn music player? when you finish shared fate rank 3 on thule

from gemstone vendor

now if we can get the endsinger theme on orchestrion roll

spent more than 20 mins listening to it before queueing for the trial

level 1

"Sobbing mess on the floor" is accurate. Thank you for writing this up, I noticed it changed but was too busy being an emotional wreck to fully get it.

level 1

Whispers falling silently drift on the wind - But I hear you - WoL walking alone to Meteion's nest and hearing voices from the past

Our journey now a memory fading from sight - But I see you = Emet-Selch, finally seeing WoL as Azem's successor and just a friend, remembering their journey together through Shadowbringers and seeing it now through a different angle.

Unbroken promises we made so long ago - You're still here = Venat (Venus?), speaking about their promise ("promise made in another time, another place") and how she placed all her trust in WoL and gave all her love to humankind.

level 2

Yes, I also think it's about ascians. That's why it hurts so much.

level 2

I agree with this. To me it reads more as from the perspective and voices of Emet and Hythlodaeus, who have been -- and are still, when the version of the music with lyrics comes in -- watching you from beyond, as you move through your journey, waiting in the wings for their last bit part.

And then after they help you, the explain how they don't want to stay "alive" anymore even if they could, that they've accepted it's their time to return to the star and let others move forward, and Emet pretty much gives you his blessing to take up the torch of caring for and defending the star, while he and Hyth finally go to rest with those they loved.

"Walk on, never look back

Through you we live"

level 1

I did Ultima Thule in one go....I couldn't stop, even bawling my eyes out the entire time...From loss, to hope, to even comfort...I cried tears of pain for every death, specially G'raha and the twins as they were my rocks, all the way through the voices of the past and cried happy ones for Emet-Selch and Hythlodaeus. I was really relieved they got to have a peaceful ending. Emet-Selch tried to get the people he loved back, regardless of who he hurt in the way. Many people, including myself, know the pain of loosing someone and I can see how one can go from good intentions to bad in a split second due to that feeling. I even cried for Hermes/Amon knowing all of this was because Hermes suffered, he couldn't comprehend how life could be given and taken so easily for some. Every living being feels love, hurt, panics...How sometimes living implies that you have to accept the fact that it might not have a meaning. We are born, we live our daily lives, we die, and in time we get forgotten...

level 1

I love the musical analysis and how each Scion's sacrifice added to the song.

...I really wish the song's power wasn't undercut by how obvious it was that everyone was going to be ressed at the end of it. Seems like such a waste of such a good piece of music that was planned out so well. It was so hard to take it seriously. It's so damn good, but the meaning is just so swiftly cut out from under it.

level 2

They front-load that, though. When you arrive, the black bird tells you that he's not fully gone -- there's some of him left -- that he, his aether, is the reason there's even any "thing" visible in the heart of despair.
Then Shtola tells you to swear to not bring them back, further pointing out that it's 110% possible for them all to come back (and side note, fulfilling her fakeout death requirement for this expac).

I think the main purpose of all of it was to strip the player of the Scions. Yes, they would be back. Yes, they would be saved.
But not yet. You had to take those steps, you had to stand 'alone' again. The Scions could not come back before you faced the black bird and confronted despair at its heart.

Maybe I'm just a sucker for it, but gods if all of that didn't hit me like a truck.

level 2

But when they come back I still screamed loudly. It was well done.

Didnt expect them to be back this fast but just typing this I have goosebumps.
