Are we not talking about how every Oz respawn costs another their choices.... he's like a possession. You can be angry with Salem, but truthfully maybe, she just wants accountability?

This song just keeps getting new ways it can be interpreted. Initially towards it seemed like it was being directed at Pyrrah by Salem, then it seemed like it was Raven was directing it at Ozpin, AND THEN it seemed like it could be directed at Salem from Ozpin's perspective, or vice versa after the lost fable, and now it also fits *really* well as a counterpart to Hero, as a sort of rebuke to Ironwood. How much foreshadowing can you fit into *ONE SONG*?

One thing I like about Salem as a villain is that she does not underestimate her opponents, or at least tries her damnedest not to. She evaluates people's strengths and weaknesses and judges them appropriately. Oh sure, she's very confident in her victory, but every move is still calculated and she knows that if she leaves the good guys enough room to regroup and form a good strategy, they very much have a chance. This kind of reflects in the way she treated Cinder and the rest of her underlings in episode 1. Whereas everyone is ridiculing Cinder for what she failed to do, Salem actually recognized what she had actually accomplished. She's strict, and undoubtably evil, but in her own way, she's just. I still want to see her fail just like everyone else here, but... she's a pretty damn solid villain, and that gives her a really, really good chance of winning, or at the very least successfully scarring the world before going down.

of course, she has who knows how many centuries of experience to draw from, and hasn't gone quite as insane as other villains with similar life spans, in part probably because of her 'blessings', as opposed to Ozpin, who is probably only as 'sane' as he is because of fresh injections of sanity into the gestault every couple decades

- Part 2 lol - Honestly, this song is genius. It doesn't just work for just one character in RWBY but for so many... Raven to Ozpin. Cinder to Salem. RWBY and JNPR to Ozpin if you think about it. This song is an anthem to those characters that felt that they were/are treated as nothing but pawns on the chessboard of two gods.(Salem and Ozpin). And more recently... Even The heroes to Ironwood with that "Pierce the sky, escape your fate." In the end, the main message of the song is really about all those characters that feel like they are just being used by the "chessmasters" of the series.(Ozpin ; Salem ; even Ironwood more recently...) Yes, In RWBY, there are two types of characters : •The Chessmasters: Driven by keeping the world under their control for whatever reasons they have. Ozpin and Ironwood because they fear Salem. Salem because she wants to destroy everything. •The Free ones: That do what they do not to serve a chessmaster but for their own goals. Ruby=>Saving the world. Cinder=>Power. Raven=>Protect her clan. Etc... And then the other characters either are allied with the "Free ones" or serve a "chessmaster" or are just irrelevant to the plot anyway. It sums up a good part of RWBY's story now, wouldn't you say ? And even with all that, I think I barely scratched the surface of this song's meaning. I'll come back if I find something else.

at 2:40 if you have the perfect volume and are wearing headphones and it's not too loud around you, you can hear your heart beating during this very errie drop in mood...and its pretty amazing. especially if you're actually watching the images on the screen

New meaning for the song unlocked: the first part is Salem singing to Ozpin and the second part is RUBY saying to Ozpin that she won't be a pawn in his game.

Literally just clicked with me. "Truth will rise, revealed by mirrored eyes". Ruby is the one who asks Jin about what Ospin is hiding.

"Depression can't be an instrument" Casey:watch me

Spoilers for volume 8! So I know that the hound being summer is a controversial theory but the first part of this song makes me wonder.... “Death is never what it seems” “Born an angel, Heaven sent. Falls from Grace are never elegant” Then they throw in: “the moon will sadly watch the roses die” It sounds like some heavy foreshadowing that summer has fallen from grace in her “death”.

Love that image in the second section of the song, where Ruby is staring pure death upon Cinder.

This song will fit not only few different pairs of RWBY characters, but also Berserk.

I still love this song. Definitely one of my favorite from this anime.

Years later and that 2nd image is still god tier

After watching the finale of V9 and seeing Raven was with Summer for her mission...yeah no, this is Raven talking to Ozpin. Now I need to see Ruby and Yang finding out the truth of what happened to Summer from Raven if she returns in V10.

The intro before the change is so dark and beautiful I wish they kept that vibe through the whole song

After cinders new song, it seems that this song is about her and she’s singing to Salem. “Close your eyes now time for dreams” is the exact same melody as “clean the linens sweep the floors”

I've been low-key just discovering some of these songs these past few months and getting hyped about RWBY, only to face the disappointing reality that Volume 9 is not out yet. Over and over again.

The amount of foreshadowing in this song is crazy! I mean it totally for-shadowed that Salem most likely killed Summer and it totally went out and told you that Ruby was going to uncover all of Ozpins secrets and that he acted like a god for a while there.

Remember when some of us thought this song may be about/sung from Torchwick's POV? Good times... miss that character, he was a great one

i forgot how much this was a banger.

With the new release of Volume 9 I will add to the theory pile and go out on a limb. What if this song is about Ruby's internal conflict with herself? The first half being sung mainly from Ruby's doubtful side, and the second half her being triumphant over her doubts at the end of this volume? Ik the song is old but I just found it( to many RWBY songs to listen to) and thought I'd throw a theory out there, though as someone stated this song can have multiple meanings.

This song has to be sung by Salem because she says," all the lives that you stole, still no closer to your goal." It has to be about Ozpin.

Ruby with the Witch Hunter from Soul Eater.

Hear me out here. This song is actually Cinders theme. Pretty much saying I won't work for you also a bit of salem " Show them gods and deities blind and keep the people on there knees" a reference to where Salem faked being a god with her immortality and wanted Ozma to rule with her. This is part Cinder it's basically saying I'm not going to do your bidding and that she sides w salem and that even tho Oz set up lots of plans he still ain't any closer to winnin

1:46 I love that Rubes is using Witch Hunter from Soul Eater here

Those are both AWESOME fanarts

Honestly, I can see this as being about Raven and Ozpin, Cinder and Salem, or Summer and Salem. I think it could work well for any of them. Perhaps it was meant to be interpreted that way. Either way, an excellent song with some good imagery in the lyrics.

Anyone else think that its salem singing to the gods i recently rewatched “the lost fable” and it really made me think about this “all your faith in ancient ways has left you trapped inside a maze” salem at this point probably does view dying as an “ancient way” she’s basically blaming the gods for this because they didn’t revive ozpin when he first died and now he’s in a never ending cycle “with all the lives you stole still no closer to your goal” here shes basically saying “look at how many people you’ve let die to teach me a lesson is it working are you winning?” So ya that’s just a thought

The moon will sadly watch the roses die in vain Is a clue that it's talking about summer and ruby dying to Salem's hands blindly. You can't have my life is ravens mindset, she sees ozpins goal as sacrificing people for answers on defeating Salem. Pierce the sky escape your fate is her talking about herself,and ozpin. They both tried to escape their fate but will only gain hate for doing so, she's pretty much telling oz to tell the truth like she will. Truth will be revealed by mirrored eyes is saying ruby will uncover the truth(which she does) Even with all the lives you stole still no closer to your goal(she's talking about ozpin sacrificing people for his goal and asking what if there is no defeating Salem,what if the gods don't come back,what if there is no winning and your sacrificing people for nothing.

I firmly believe this is Salem's song to Oz. Though I think Jeff said he didn't intend this as a song for any particular character (citation needed), but there are way too many things that foreshadow the later seasons and things pertaining to those two. I also really like the thought of the normally composed Salem being so emotional and passionate in her spite at his loyalty to the gods rather than her.

This last episode certainly put more perspective on this being raven song

I've heard a recent theory that this song is actually sung by Raven to Ozpin. She sees Ozpin as a manipulator who sacrifices others to further his goal, but no matter how many huntsmen and huntresses die, he's no closer to beating Salem. So she left; she won't be part of Ozpin's game and that's why she'll fight only to protect herself and her clan.

It definitely seems like it's either Ozpin and Salam talking or Raven talking to Salam. Because we still don't know why Salam hates Ozpin and Ozpin is the only one that's taken lives through his regeneration and the maidens but also come no closer to his goal of peace. where salam has made sacrifices and taken lives but has become closer to her goal. It's very hard to pin point because it applies to a few characters.

That pic of Ruby... If that's really what happened, I want to see a "flashback" to that fight where we see what Ruby actually did to freeze that Grimm and wound Cinder like she did. She looks like some kind of demon.

Ricardo Ortiz-Joseph 3, but I don't believe it's in the show

I still think this song is from Raven's point of view towards Ozpin. It was part of the Volume 2 soundtrack, which was the first time we saw Raven. She blames Ozpin for sacrificing people in his war against Salem, such as Summer, and still not getting the job done ('The moon will sadly watch the roses die in vain, lost, no gain'; 'What if all the plans you made were not worth the price they paid, even with the lives you stole, still no closer to your goal'). She knows about the relics, which makes me think Ozpin tried to recruit her - and while she may have joined him for a while, she left after deciding Ozpin couldn't win (which she alludes to in 'Family'). She refuses to just be another pawn in Ozpin's losing game ('You can't have my life, I'm not your sacrifice'; 'Most of all, I won't fall for you'). Admittedly, we know very little about Raven as a character, but I feel like this song fits pretty well with what we *do* know, and helps to fill in some of the unknowns (just like From Shadows hinted at Blake's faunus heritage long before it was revealed). Just my thoughts.

@Elkanah Corcos It refers to when Ruby asked the genie "what is Ozpin hiding?". So she totally outed him. It's an easy line to miss. Probably wouldn't have noticed myself if not for MurderofBirds. There are other lines that refer to recent events. In the song When it Falls there's a line "Swallowed by the darkness. Soon the moon is bathed in black. The light of hope is taken and discontent is the contagion." The moon part is obvious . The God of darkness destroyed the moon with a black beam. The light of hope is taken and discontent is the contagion...they got mad at Ozpin most likely because he didn't tell him that they were fighting a pointless battle...or what now feels like it. Another line is something we all saw coming. "The blinding eyes. That burn a yellow flame. The embers that remain will light the fuse of condemnation." It refers to how what's left of Yang because she's still recovering...totally instigated what happened to Ozpin. There might be more, but these are the ones I remember.

RubénGallar I think it's fair to say Raven. She clearly has a distaste for Ozpin and highly disapproves of Qrow's decision to stand by him. She even went so far as to call Ruby a "lost cause" to Yang's face just because she is with them and obviously trusts them. Besides this song also came out in Vol. 2. Same Volume Raven first appeared in. Coincidence? I think not! Seriously though the word choice I feel lines up better with Raven too.

SPOILERS: After watching Vol.5 Ch.6 I think this song is actually about Raven, Qrow and Ozpin, from Raven's perspective. Think about it. "Death is never what it seems" This is referring to Oz's re-incarnation process "Did the things they thought you should" This is referring to how Qrow, from Raven's perspective, is blindly following Ozpin just because he seems like a good guy "Take the lives of those you need" This specific line is referring to how Ozpin seems to treat the huntsman/huntresses as tools for his fight against Salem "Born an angel heaven sent, falls from grace are never elegant" This is talking about Ravens apparent fall from grace when she went back to the tribe. It wasn't elegant b/c it fucked over the rest of her team and their relations. "You can't have my life, I'm not your sacrifice" This is raven's define toward the idea of being Ozpin's tool or "sacrifice". She won't "fall for [Ozpin]" "Truth will rise, revealed by mirrored eyes" Now allot people think this is referring to Ruby's silver eyes, but this is actually referring to the scene where Raven let's Yang in on Ozpin's shit. Yang and Raven look almost exactly alike, and yang's eyes turn the same color (red) as Raven's when she's angry. "Even with the lives you stole, still no closer to you goal" Now, this one is the real kicker. Who can you think of that has stolen many lives, and is still no closer to their goal? Maybe a certain immortal that hijacks the life of innocent young boys just so he can continue his eternal war against Salem? I don't think Salem is the only big bad of this story.

It was said that he was cursed to do that if I recall correctly and something about the recipient having to like minded or something as well.

Price payed: Salem paid the price for bringing back Ozpin and then paid another price to gain the power she has now (jumping into the evil pond water) in order to get what she wants Mirrored eyes: she honestly thinks what she is doing is for the greater good and everyone else has mirrors eyes aka doesn’t understand her motives Roses die: most people seem to think that Summer Rose and past Roses have died helping Ozpin (also possibly foreshadowing Ruby’s death) she is probably referring to herself as the moon (good -> sun and evil -> moon)

@nahte123456

OK your just wrong on the first part. The line is "what if all the plans you made were not worth the price they paid?" so it's questioning if the "price" was worth it when the "plan" still isn't any closer. it's a question about making OTHER people pay, not the singer. It makes literally 0 sense for Salem to say that about Ozma OR jumping into the Grimm pool, those are both prices SHE paid, not prices she made others pay. At best you could stretch it to mean when she caused humanity to be wiped out but that already happened and she was also punished so that wouldn't fit. "Truth will rise revealed by mirrored eyes" so the eyes are showing the truth, not denying it. And not only does it make no sense for her to compare herself to the moon about Roses, the song also says "the moon will sadly watch the roses die" why would Salem be sad if she was comparing her self to a go watching them die against her?

Always, you make the best works out there. Perfect song, perfect art. Keep it up!

What would you call the music genre of this song? Spesifically the parts that aren't the main chorus. I.e ca 0:00 - 1:30, and 2:09 - 3:04 I really loved that, and I'd like to hear more of that type of music cx

It's been 6 years but I'll still answer, I believe this is progressive rock. Progressive rock is similar to alternative rock when you look at it instrumental-based, but what makes it 'progressive rock' is the lyrics. It tells an 'epic' story. You can check out Ok Goodnight, Casey Lee Williams is a member of the band and they mainly make progressive rock/metal songs.

Now this song is a huge one foreshadowing

Playing RWBY Grimm Eclipse while the instrumental version of this song plays.... .....always gets me pumped up!

Hrm, while I love the song, I'm a bit skeptical if the art fits here. Then again, this is one of the few songs that's unclear about who's it about. I can tell it's someone who's fallen from the "righteous path," possibly saw Summer die (in vain), and longs to see Ozpin "pay for his sins." Be chilling if it's an evil Pyrrha, as the pic showed, though I'm more leaning towards Raven, who might've seen Summer die and thus decide "enough is enough." Now she wants nothing more to do with Ozpin, and awaits the day when Ruby (her mirrored eyes) will reveal the truth about him, among other things. Something along these lines anyway. But still, love your work here, keep it up. :D

I watch you videos all the time and finally decided "you know what? im subbing! this guy is cool!"

This is even better now that Volume 6 is out and the events happening so far

After episode 3 of Volume 6 I'm starting to think this song is from both Oz and Salem's views on each other, if it was solely about Salem to Oz some part make no sense, Oz wasn't there when the moon shattered, Salem was. Kinda like they did with Red Like Roses 2, but with out two different voices, probably to not make it a obvious.

Woot! Woot! Was waiting for this!

oh my gosh!! i really like the pictures!! especially the last one!!! ahhh!!! SO COOL!!

With the events of Volume 5 and our first real look at Raven, I really think this is *her song*. It's hear dealing with Summer's death (Close your eyes now, time for dreams/death is never what it seems) before turning into a huge "take that" against Ozpin ("all your faith in ancient ways/leaves you trapped inside a maze" and "born an angel heaven sent/falls from grace are never elegant" seem like deadringers for him now that we know Ozpin's the Wizard).

After the most recent episode with Raven, I can't help but feel this is written from her perspective. It would also make sense, given that season 2 is where we got this song, and that was where Raven really made her entrance as a character.

Why do I feel like this is talking about Salem???

SPOLIERS***** I think that the "Death is never what is seems" Points to Ozpin, as he keeps on coming back. I really don't know whos worse, Ozpin or Salem. After all Salem just wants to not be immortal right? And Ozpin is hiding to many secrets. I think (My Opinon) that Ozpin is sacraficing people for his needs and might be worse than Salem.
