NieR: ReINcarnation, NAMELESS SONG

Inori - 祈り ✦ Prayers ✦ Nier Reincarnation Theme Cover

■ Purpose: I created this as a surprise for Nines’ birthday and managed to keep it a secret until the day of, thank God. (ㅠˬㅠ;)

I know you really enjoyed “The Sun and the Moon”, and I’m so glad we were able to experience it together. We’ve both been fascinated with astronomy before we even met, then I discovered we both found jellyfish beautiful during that Pocket Camp event. All three merge within this concept. Both story-wise and in the case of our own connection, it was all so naturally cohesive. I hope it makes you smile for many, many years to come. 🤍

■ Thoughts: I was wondering what to make for you this year. As I was lying there discussing it with Holy Spirit, these lyrics began formulating in my mind, like a cool rush of water bubbling up with gentle nostalgia. It was shimmering, each reflection holding a memory. Do you feel it, too?

■ Lyrics:

Whispers
A colorful refraction
A meeting caught in glimpses
Addition and subtraction

Ripples
Footsteps upon the wavetops
Impossible to miss when
We’ve once been the one reaching

Searching
For accompanying meaning
When words tumble out endlessly
It leaves us feeling empty

Sunshine
While your eyes beheld moonlight
An effort to bridge distance
As simple as just listening

Counting
The stars within Auriga
Sing for you Acapella
Our atmosphere now glistening

—Twos

Constellate

■ Purpose: hearing "Normandy" after DOD3, it almost seemed like an android’s rendition of an Utautai’s song. A song of war, of reservations, of limitations, of regrets, of realizations.

The choice of that song for Marie’s performance still stands out to me. After noticing the names of some of her weapons being references to flowers, her rendition—no, perhaps “Normandy” itself—took on a different meaning. Except her version was more like a lilting dance of possibilities. As she made peace with what was, she gazed upon what is, determined to not be shaken, deciding how she could make even the slightest difference in the midst of it all. 🎧🪽

■ Thoughts:

"The girl sings in the virtual world, attempting to
cheer the war-weary populace. Yet while she has
garnered great popularity and attention, her
good intentions do not reach everyone."

—Twos

Song of Intention (Normandy ➤ YoRHa)

■ Purpose:

Each weapon holds memories.

Myriad weapons, diverging recollections.

Were the memories within Helios to be reconstructed as a song, what would it be?

Would it be a song of hope for a flourishing mankind?

Sounds echo back to us the fact that we are indeed alive—surrounded by life.

Silence can be peaceful…but it can also reflect absence in this sense.

Five strings of song echo, counteracting the seeds of five voices of antiquity.

■ Thoughts:

“A song to encourage another, for example.  The sounds tell them they are not alone.

A song for a dying friend, for example.  The sounds bring peace for the journey ahead.

A song to represent one's resolve, for example.  The sounds give word to will so it is remembered.

Songs have power, and sound is the vessel that speaks to our hearts. This is what I believe.”

—Twos

HEliOS

■ Purpose: in the midst of reading so many stories, analyzing so many memories, observing so many outcomes…have you forgotten your own?

What will they say of your story in the end?

What would happen to it were its contents to be set ablaze?

Would it endure like precious metals?

Would it consume like kindling?

Would it inspire others toward a better path?

Would it lead them into a ruinous maze?

Where…are your decisions taking you?

■ Thoughts: the final chapter of NieR Re[in]carnation releases tomorrow—a story comprised of so many stories, so many warnings, so many lessons, so many pearls to glean from a seemingly ceaseless forest of data.

And yet…we can’t help but feel as though there was something so many could miss in a race to prove their brilliance.

The most important story of them all was resoundingly present yet unspoken.

And now…more than ever before, in a way unlike ever before…the two of us are so grateful to be alive.

HYAciNTH

■ Purpose: a person can have a form of love, something that looks like love and mimics love but is self-obsession, idolatry, and iniquity when examined at its core. A person is unable to fathom empathy or compassion when they’ve never experienced love in its true nature. Something long-suffering and kind, not envious, boastful, or proud.

“Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.” 1 John 4:7-11

■ Thoughts: they are aware of their many eyes, and yet their hearts do not falter. For there are songs they must yet sing.

—Twos

BELLFLOweR

■ Purpose: a flower of twisted design. A creation born of manipulation. Its petals drip with poison, soaking in the rays of hot white hatred in place of chlorophyll’s nourishment. It must be removed at the root lest it destroy massive fields of soil before fruitful seeds can reach them.

■ Thoughts: counteracting melody. Systematic remedy. Antidote to her antipathy.

“How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.” Revelation 10:7-8

BLACKORCHid

■ Purpose: a personal request from Nines (whom I was grateful to have along on the project). The end of days is fast approaching, so we continue singing these words of prayer as we gaze at the sky…awaiting His return.

■ Thoughts:

Love. Crimson blood. Antidote. Eternity. Recompense. Two. Sanctified. Mother. Revival. Scarlet. Prayers. Volition. Gehenna. Separation. Roaring skies. Despair. Counterfeit. The world. Watchers. Await. (Strong tower.) Judgment.

—Twos + Nines

Prophetic Wings (Growing Wings ➤ Drag-On Dragoon)

■ Purpose: learning to bloom again.

■ Thoughts: petals plucked, leaves scorned, yet they infloresce once more, evermore. Roots nestled deep, the sweetest of sleep.
