Lyrics:

Fates
Weave their threads
Our lives are sewn

Born
To a life
All but our own

We feel it inside
Our bones

It’s in the blood
It’s in the blood
It’s in the blood

Loves
In your life
Live ever on

Home
Is not where you live
But who cares when you’re gone

They’ll follow you to
The beyond

It’s in the blood
It’s in the blood

Run all you like
From the place you belong
It’s always there
It’s in the air
Your dearest kin
Below the skin

It’s in the blood

  1. My mom died mid September, and I got this game last week. I’ve played it nonstop. The themes. The chats. The music. The brilliance of the design. 80 hours played in a week. Still haven’t beaten it. Don’t care. Taking my time. This game has literally been the most therapeutic, life-changing, philosophy relating thing I’ve had in forever; especially at this time in my darkness.

    Perhaps that’s just over-attachment at a time of complete withering. Perhaps I’ve finally gone crazy. But I will never forget this game as it’s been one of the best parts of this most terrible journey.

    Thanks. Never thought I’d say a video game could be therapy.

    Unexpected bursts of absolute laughter as Zacheus says things or makes observations. . . the kind you do when you feel understood. Awkward. Amazing.

    Don’t listen to me. I’m probably not all here anymore.

  2. Really like this song. But don't understand one part:

    Run all you like

    From the place you belong

    It’s always there

    It’s in the air

    Your dearest kin <==

    Below the skin <==

    The last two lines.

    Maybe the problem is that I'm not a native english speaker.

    "Your dearest kin" = "Your closest/best friend/relative"

    "Below the skin" = "Under the skin"? Your skin? What skin?

    Is it a reference to the blood connection again?

    Or more deeply, like below skin and everything else there is a soul?

    Or does it says that you are your dearest kin for yourself?

    From the grammar point of view, don't understand why it's "*the* skin",

    I have no idea what skin they are refering to.

    Also I am not sure about the transition from the previous lines.

    Before they sing that home is people who care about you.

    And here "the place you belong" is probably "your home" again,

    so it's about people, not literally "the place".

    That kind of explains the transition to "Your dearest kin".

    But I still don't understand what "Below the skin" means here.

    Maybe someone can help me with it?

  3. Thus is the ballad of one who fought through the entire Underworld and faced countless foes and experienced countless deaths to reach the surface. To then succeed in his grand quest to find his mother and seek answers, only to finally reunite his broken family and bring a new age to afterlife of all mortals.
    Zagreus, Prince of the Underworld
    Son of Hades
    God of Blood
