Song Lyrics in FFXIV: Compilation, Discussion, and Interpretation

[Zero-ELEC]

My attempts at it. Loads of gaps.

At the crossroads standing here
Not a star in the sky to guide me tonight
If we're lost and lost in fear
Deep in darkness rang my cries

All this pain inside of me
Don't know where it starts or when it will end
Try to tame the agony
As I close my eyes and scream to the wind

Look around and find I'm standing all alone (Look again we're standing there)
'Cause the storm has taken everything I know (Pain and loss you needn't bear)
Don't know why I thought I'd make it by myself (After all that we've been through)
Out of time, I'm running back inside my head (We were always there for you)

There's so much in life I couldn't understand (Understand we're by your side)
Standing tall we'll face tomorrow hand in hand (Mine in yours and yours in mine)
Weaving memories through the water everywhere (This is our daylight tapestry)
Never losing sight of everywhere I've been ([?] we're gonna be)

In lightning's wake, did naught but ash remain
Yet in the rain does life's song ring again
Our ancient forest [?]
It carries on
We will carry on

So smile and let the rainbow sing ([?])
Alive with everything it brings (Offer peace and harmony)
We walk a never ending trail ([?] happiness)
But know that we shall never [?] (This is our inheritance)

Just imagine what's around the bend ([?] will be)
(Magic or mischief? Gods forfend!) ([?])
Endless marvels, myst'ries, newfound friends ([?])
(Wilder than wildest dreams portend) ([?])

Tight! Seize the day and hold on tight
The sun is risin'
Life, take it slow and take a bite

So high, on the dawn we set our sights
(Unwind your heart and find your worries'll disappear)
A new horizon
Fly, ever forward, starry-eyed
(Now turn the page to tales untold)

Hold tight this we call our home ([?])
We fight to never let it go ([?] symphony)
[?] we have not seen the end ([?])
We'll rise again once it has passed ([?] by your side)

[?] (Tender hearts or sorrow's skies to mend) ([?])
What's [?] (Fill them with golden tones instead) ([?] we can do)
[?] (Steady forward, there's so much to see) (for you and me)
Together for the rest of [?] (Together you and me)

At the [?] peak (At the [?] peak)
From the heavens [?] ([?])
[?]

Never gonna stop (Never gonna stop)
Never gonna stop
[?] together we stand [?]
Forever, for we won't end

[OasusPlainsview]

I think I can help you with one section

I turn around, and what do I see? (Just imagine what's around the bend)
A light that guides a way to the dream, Ohhhhh! (Magic or mischief? Gods forfend!)
A silent wave that broke through the night (Endless marvels, myst'ries, newfound friends)
To see us forward and through the [?][1 word]
(Wilder than wildest dreams portend)

Hello! I'm really enjoying the music from AAL Light-heavyweight M4, and I thought I'd give a shot at transcribing the lyrics from "Give it All"! The parts within parenthesis w/ question marks are the lyrics that I had some difficulty discerning, but gave it a shot nonetheless! Would like to hear what we think the actual lyrics being spoken are!

Give it All

tonight our city bleeds red blue and green
as i walk in the dark unseen
i (???thought the sights restricting??)
colors in my eye are fading gone, they're gone theyre gone, all gone

girl looks to the stars and dares to dream
of the world she'd make her mark (??exceed??)
Phantom in my mirror staring back
I realize that girl is gone she's gone she's gone I'm gone

And every mountain made it to the top
I had it all or so i thought
Traded tomorrow for a lie
I found the price too high
A clock is ticking, counting down
Tonight i'm out of time (????waiting to stop???)
(??I'll bare my life before it's lost??)
A final line I'll cross

(??Make no going, make no going, make no going back, no??)
White lights left here inside I'll suffocate if that's what it takes, oh
And those who meant to cast me aside Turn their backs and leave me to die
You can try You can try You can try but I will survive

No going back no going back won't ever will never again (??know me??)
no going back no going back no going back from the edge

Look in my eyes Yeah i know you'll understand
Somebody help my miserys taking me
made up my mind, now there aint no going back
somebody help I'm losing what's left of me
Made up my mind (there my heart's demanding) ready to fight till there's one left standing
Tonight lightning will strike thunder will follow you're gonna give it all
to me to me to me to me
I gotta believe you'll set me free

Tonight my circle finally comes complete
(??from past up from the dark I breathe??)
The music swelling (??Crowd is chanting??)
For this moment fears (??an afterthought??) gone, it's gone it's gone all gone

I look out to the crowd and there I see
A thousand little girls (?agleam??)
Turn the tables Yeah I'm fighting back
I'll bring the lightning now it's on it's on it's on you're gone

Repeat Pre-Chorus

Repeat Chorus

Another 7.01 and ANOTHER TWO SONGS. Here's my take on Honey Bee Sweet from R2/M2 whatever you call it.

B is for Beauty <...> Sweet
B for the Sting of your pitiful defeat
B <...> and always play your part
B for it's over, I'll capture your heart

My wings are humming honey, stay a little while
with just a pinch you'll be delighted and enguiled
I'm not your baby doll but I can make you smile!
No nectar sweeter sweetie, I'll drive you wild

My heart is pure as lace and laced with purest pride
My frills are wild flowers begging for your eyes
My lips are poison waiting to collide
come play with me, darlin' you'll be surprised

This world is a weary place, humdrum dreary heart
if all is monotomy, I'm buried alive
(That's why!)
I want to alter the stars in the sky
I want to see my name painted in lights
To win your love I will do just anything
(There's always something more, there's always something more!)

I'll be the face you see on magazines! (Magazines!)
I'll have my concerts enthralling the streets! (On The Streets!)
I'll be your Idol, your only one!
That's somehow not enough, it can never be enough! (That's somehow not enough, it can never be enough!)

Look at me, Look I'll take your breath away
you'll pay the price if you do not kneel!
My throne is here/near at the Arcadion!
Come see and nod your heads

Oh Gods! again, I really should've said
Give! Me Love! forever <just give up>

I'll be your Queen Bee, honey bee love me!
I'll be your one and only champion!
I'll be your full time royal, worship me!
Love me again! Until the End!

I'll be your Queen Bee, honey bee love me!
I'll be adored by workers near and far
I'll let you be my little drum honey!
So long as you never cross me!

Oh Gods! again, I really should've said
Feed! Me Well! Or you're as good as dead!

B is for Beauty <...> Sweet
B for the Sting of your pitiful defeat
B <...> and always play your part
B for it's over, I'll capture your heart

(My wings are humming honey, stay a little while
with just a pinch you'll be delighted and enguiled
I'm not your baby doll but I can make you smile!
No nectar sweeter sweetie, I'll drive you wild

My heart is pure as lace and laced with purest pride
My frills are wild flowers begging for your eyes
My lips are poison waiting to collide
come play with me, darlin' you'll be surprised)

This world is a weary place, humdrum dreary heart
if all is monotomy, I'm buried alive
(That's why!)
(I want to alter the stars in the sky~
I want to see my name painted in lights~
To win your love I will do just anything~
Oh! There's always something more, there's always something more in my mind!)

I'll be the face you see on magazines! (Magazines!)
I'll have my concerts enthralling the streets! (On The Streets!)
I'll be your Idol, your only one!
That's somehow not enough, it can never be enough! (That's somehow not enough, it can never be enough!)

Look at me, Look I'll take your breath away
you'll pay the price if you do not kneel!
My throne is here/near at the Arcadion!
Come see and nod your heads

Oh Gods! again, I really should've said
Give! Me Love! forever <just give up>

I'll be your Queen Bee, honey bee love me!
I'll be your one and only champion!
I'll be your full time royal, worship me!
Love me again! Until the End!

I'll be your Queen Bee, honey bee love me!
I'll be adored by workers near and far
I'll let you be my little drum honey!
So long as you never cross me!

Oh Gods! again, I really should've said
Feed! Me Well! Or you're as good as dead!

I for one welcome our new Bee Idol Queen.

And just for Completion's sake, here's my take on Give It All (Heavy Oblivion vibes)

Tonight our city bleeds Red Blue and Green
As I walk in the dark, unseen
<...>
Colours in my heart are fading
gone, they're gone, they're gone, all gone

Girl <...> shooting stars and there's/that's the dream
<A world shaming> her mind, it seems/it's in
A Phantom in my mirror, staring back
I realise that girl is gone
She's gone, She's gone, I'm gone.

<And every mountain, made it through the top>
I had it all, <..> soul/sold
I thought, trade in tomorrow for a lie
I found the price too high

If the clock is ticking counting down tonight
I'll <...>
I'll build <...> lost
That final line I'll cross

There's no going back, no going back, no going back <...>
<my lights> my laughter inside, I'll suffocate, if that's what it takes
oh, there's <...>
Turn their heads, and leave their lie
You can try, can try, come try
<but you'll waste your life.>

(no going back, no going back, no going back, won't ever, ever get <...>
No going back, no going back, no going back, no coming back from the Edge)

Look in my eyes, now know you'll understand
(Somebody Help, My misery is taking me )
Made up my mind, no there ain't no going back
(Somebody come, I'm losing what's left of me)

Made up my mind, now my heart's demanding
Ready to fight, till there's one left standing
Tonight, lightning will strike
<and when you fall>, you're gonna give it all to me
(Yeah!) To me! (Yeah!) To me! (Yeah!) To me! (Yeah!) To me!
I'm gonna believe!(Yeah!) You'll set! (Yeah!) Me Free! (???)

Tonight my circle finally comes complete
A last step from the dark, I'll breathe
Music swelling, crowd's chanting
<For> this moment fears in after <...>
It's gone, it's gone, it's gone, all gone.

I look out to the crowd, and there I see.
<...> and little girls, agleam
I'll turn the tables, <yeah I'm> fighting back
I'll bring the Lightning, now it's on
it's on, it's on, you're gone.

<And every mountain, made it through the top>
I had it all, <..> soul/sold
I thought, trade in tomorrow for a lie
I found the price too high

If the clock is ticking counting down tonight
I'll <...>
I'll build <...> before it's lost
That final line I'll cross

There's no going back, no going back, no going back <...>
<my light>, my laughter inside, I'll suffocate, if that's what it takes
oh, there's <...>
Turn their heads, and leave their lie
You can try, can try, come try
<but you'll waste your life.>

(no going back, no going back, no going back, won't ever, ever get <...>
No going back, no going back, no going back, no coming back from the Edge)

Look in my eyes, now know you'll understand
(Somebody Help, My misery is taking me)
Made up my mind, no there ain't no going back
(Somebody come, I'm losing what's left of me)

Made up my mind, now my heart's demanding
Ready to fight, till there's one left standing
Tonight, lightning will strike
<and when you fall>, you're gonna give it all to me
(Yeah!) To me! (Yeah!) To me! (Yeah!) To me! (Yeah!) To me!
I'm gonna believe!(Yeah!) You'll set! (Yeah!) Me Free! (???)

Tonight our city bleeds Red Blue and Green
As I walk in the dark, unseen
<...>
Colours in my heart are fading
gone, they're gone, they're gone, all gone

For this <...> I think it is:

"I thought neither side was tempting."

[Sciencejoe]

I'd like to offer my interpretations or corrections to Damnhedge's scribing!

Girl <...> shooting stars and there's/that's the dream
<A world shaming> her mind, it seems/it's in

I'm pretty confident it's "A girl looks to the stars, and dares to dream".

"And the world's shaping her mind, it seems" is my best guess for the other one.

<And every mountain, made it through the top>
I had it all, <..> soul/sold

"Climbed every mountain, made it to the top
I had it all, or so I thought"

If the clock is ticking counting down tonight
I'll <...>
I'll build <...> lost
That final line I'll cross

"The clock is ticking, counting down to naught
I'm out of time, (if it could stop?)
I'll build my life before it's lost
The final line I'll cross!"

There's no going back, no going back, no going back <...>
<my lights> my laughter inside, I'll suffocate, if that's what it takes

I think she's actually just singing "THE white lights, laughter inside."

oh, there's <...>
Turn their heads, and leave their lie
You can try, can try, come try
<but you'll waste your life.>

A thousand people(?) cast me aside
Turn their backs, and leave me to die
You can try, can try, come try, but I will survive!

Look in my eyes, now know you'll understand

Nitpick: I think it's "yeah, I know you'll understand"

<and when you fall>, you're gonna give it all to me

Almost certain that's "thunder will fall" since she's using levin-based magicks and weaponry.

A last step from the dark, I'll breathe

Based on my assumption of the previous line being "As I walk in the dark, unseen," I think this line is actually "One last step from the dark, I am free." Going back to another theme throughout this song: the horror of psychonekrosis is being ignored, so Eutrope is stuck in the dark (was previously in hiding) despite the bright and beautiful colors of Solution 9 and the Arcadion.

<For> this moment fears in after <...>

"Before this moment feels an afterthought" is my guess. I feel like it has to be "afterthought" as the last word; not confident in the parts before it. Eutrope needs all the spotlight on this issue she can gets.

<...> and little girls, agleam

Pretty confident it's "a thousand little girls."

[AuraAstra]

A few minor corrections to the M2 (Bee My Honey) lyrics:

> My wings are humming honey, stay a little while
with just a pinch you'll be delighted and enguiled

Should be: [...] you'll be delighted and beguiled

> My lips are poison waiting to collide

Should be: My lips are poison and waiting to collide

> This world is a weary place, humdrum dreary heart
if all is monotomy, I'm buried alive

Should be: [...] if all is monotony, I'm buried alive

> My throne is here/near at the Arcadion!

Should be: My throne is here at the Arcadion!

> I'll let you be my little drum honey!

Should be: I'll let you be my little drone honey!

> Feed! Me Well! Or you're as good as dead!

I might be crazy on this one but I think it should be: Treat! Me well! Or you're as good as dead!

[KinDranex]

B <...> and always play your part

It sounds like "B my forever and always play your part"

[Bluetouche]

B is for Beauty <...> Sweet
B for the Sting of your pitiful defeat
B <...> and always play your part
B for it's over, I'll capture your heart

B is for beauty, obedient and sweet
Beware the sting, of your pitiful defeat
Be mine forever, and always play your part
Before it's over, I'll capture your heart
