Song Lyrics in FFXIV: Compilation, Discussion, and Interpretation

[Damnhedge]

Is this still the right thread for Lyrics discussion? I haven't been around in ages. Anyway! new Expansion new main theme! For once in 10 years the CGI Teaser's music isn't just Soken Mumbling Syllables! It's actual words! Here's my first go on "Dawntrail (Teaser Edition.)" We can hear the raw cuts in the track so I can't WAIT to hear the full track in.....January .

Time, no more once upon a time
Take flight, find your wings and spread them wide
It's time, for the journey of our life
??? This realm reborn
into the heavens we fly
fighting through the storm
Leaving the shadows far behind
and we walked right to the end
One more Trial, we're faced
turn back ???
only we decide our fate
Where do we go x4
No more running
Time, seize the day and hold on tight
the sun is rising
Flight, take it slow and take a bite
one day at a time
Eyes, on the dawn we set our sight
On New Horizons
fly, ever forward, starry eyed
to another sky.

[Alleluia]

Yep, right place.

??? This realm reborn
into the heavens we fly
fighting through the storm
Leaving the shadows far behind
and we walked right to the end

Interesting that they seem to still be naming the previous expansions in the lyrics of this one. I thought that'd stop after endwalker. But it works. Naming the adventures that we've been thru to give context to the new adventure. I definitely, definitely think this will be the last time they run that litany, though. lol

We back baby! More Lyrics and more SFX to go with them! Not as bad as with JC and his whispering (side note I'm so glad Amanda is still here, I was scared she wouldn't be singing our Ending Song anymore now that Mom's gone ) Gunn, Soken and the rest of the Primals absolutely hitting it out of the park! Here's my take for the lyrics as far as I could tell at 3 am haha.

Time!
No more Once Upon A Time
Take Flight!
Find your Wings and Spread Them Wide
It's Time!
For the Journey of our lives

We beget this Realm Reborn
Into the Heavens we fly
Fighting through the Storm
Leaving the Shadows far behind
And we walked right through the End
<With more> Trials we're faced
<Turn back to Transcend>
Only we decide our fate
Where do we go
Where do we go
Where do we go
Where do we go
No more Running

Time!
Seize the Day and Hold on Tight
The sun is rising
Fly!
Take it slow and take a bite
One Day at a Time!

So <x> your Heart and
<x> <x> <x> <x> <x> disappear
<x>
Tonight <x> (Absolutely no clue, too much SFX and Amanda)

Just imagine what's around the bend
What we <x>
<x> (Again too many SFX while Krile is dancing around and doing PCT stuff)
<x>
<x>
sally forward there's so much to see
<x> for you and me!

Discover a new <rainbow>
<> in the Night
In laughter/after Light
The path that we take
<Ours to create>
<x>
We can find our way
<x> let's go
on this trail where we can't see the end
Until we close our <eyes>

Time!
Seize the Day and Hold on Tight
The sun is rising
Fly!
Take it slow and take a bite
One Day at a Time!

Our time to shine
Join in the sun <x>
<x>
Come and join <x>
Hold your head up High!

High!
On the Dawn we set our Sights
A New Horizon
Fly!
Ever Forward Starry Eyed
To Another Sky!

With the release of Open Sky's MV I figured I might as well update the lyrics for Open Sky we can hear more clearly now. Parts where I <wrote like this> I'm still uncertain about, i love Soken and GUNN but understanding them is a trial in itself sometimes. I also don't really vibe with "With one more Trial We're faced, turn back to transcend", but it's all I can hear.

Time!
No more Once Upon A Time
Take Flight!
Find your Wings and Spread Them Wide
It's Time!
For the Journey of our lives

From the Ashes we're reborn
Onto the Heavens we fly
Fighting through the Storm
Leave our Shadows far behind
And we walked right through the End
<With one more Trial we're faced>
<Turn back to Transcend>
Only we decide our fate
Where do we go
Where do we go
Where do we go
Where do we go
No more Running

Time!
Seize the Day and Hold on Tight
The sun is rising!
Fly!
Take it slow and take a bite
One Day at a Time!

So find your Heart and
<find your worries disappear>
Here <every tale is fading far>

Our time to shine
Join in, <The sun/the song> is <quiet>
<And we're wrapped up in the tide>
<Come and join the Ray>
Hold your Head up High

High!
On the Dawn we set our Sights
A New Horizon
Fly!
Ever Forward Starry Eyed
To An Open Sky!
