Epic song! The animation looks awesome too!

[Josegalactic]

I like how the concept of the album is 8-bit and the sounds are really oriental. I love it so much

[ebonhawken]

The thing I love about FatRat is he is never afraid to experiment. All of his songs sound so unique! Such a good song!

[JK--]

To TheFatRat: I know you will probably never see this but I just want to express how much your music means to me. Throughout my journey with anxiety, music is the best means I have to calm myself down. And your songs have helped so much. If you choose to do nothing else ever, just know you have affected one life for the better ❤

[aaaaaaaaahhhh]

He's no longer just a fantastic musician..
He's just straight up an author to a fantasy genre story!

[bghmusic]

Wow, that's really different, but I love it!

So far, the story goes like this,
In Chapter 1(Hiding in the Blue), the empire of Arcadia have been overrun by a demon invasion and our Female Protagonist survived and took refuge in a sky island. She was a soldier in the legions, who fought to defend her home but ultimately lost the war. Distraught over the destruction of her home, she reminisce her past life in Arcadia and the adventures she used to have. Now, she has waited day and night for a Hero to take her home.

In chapter 2(Arcadia), from the music, the title and the background, it looks like our Female Protagonist is having flashbacks of her past life with The Hero in Arcadia, her home. (But to maintain continuity with chapter 4, i think it would be safe to assume that they are also going to someplace offscreen.)

In Chapter 3(Pride and Fear), our Female Protagonist narrates the history of Arcadia. Once upon a time, Arcadia was a vast and highly prosperous empire. People revered it's glorious legends, and upheld the peace. But greed, pride, and fear slowly started to grow among the people. Eventually, the peace started to fade away, as no one was left to uphold it. Later, Arcadia got invaded by demons ( perhaps to collect the wealth the empire and the people hoarded due to greed). The demons ravaged the lands and now, Arcadia has become a ruin, haunted by the souls of the people who lived here.

In chapter 4(Upwind), from the title, music, and background, it is understood that The Hero and our Female Protagonist has arrived in place which looks a 'Sky-port', and is seen boarding a sky-ship. As the ship is armed with cannons, it is highly likely that they are planning to use sky-ships to take back Arcadia. From the background, it also seems that they are parting their ways, and the hero is going to someplace.

In Chapter 5(Our Song), the hero has left our Female Protagonist and went to war.( the background of chapter 4 is also indicating this plot-line.) She is now holding on for the hero and is waiting while singing their song. ( the lyrics "... da da da da da..." could refer to the tune of the song they used to sing together. This also indicates that she already knew the hero before chapter 1, which was also hinted in chapter 2.) Now, the seasons have passed and winter has come. She is still holding out for him. Whenever she misses him, she wishes that the hero would wake her with a kiss.( This indicates that they have a close relationship with each other.)

In Chapter 6(Violet Sky), from the lyrics and the background, it is understood that our Female Protagonist has left the place where she and The Hero had parted ways. Now, it seems that she is going back to Arcadia, her home, to join the war. The lyrics "This is getting heavy but I carry on" indicates that, despite the odds, she is continuing her journey. The background indicates that after reaching Arcadia, she has witnessed a colossal demon.

In Chapter 7(Warbringer), it is seen that our Female Protagonist is going inside a Colossal Mech, that is, a robot.( This could indicate that the demon she saw in chapter 6 is also a mech and she has noticed it.) Now, it seems that she plans to use this colossal mech in the war for Arcadia. The lyrics also point out that our Female Protagonist and her allies had suffered enough and is bringing the war to the demons.


In chapter 8(Fire), from the music and the background, it is seen that there is going to be a battle between our Female Protagonist's mech, which is the robot she found in chapter 7, and the colossal demon, seen in chapter 6 ( which could also be a mech, hinted by the electric-like currents flowing through its chest).


In Chapter 9( Love it when you hurt me), from the background, it is seen that an epic battle between Our Female Protagonist's mech and the colossal demon mech is undergoing in the ruins of a city, which I think is Arcadia. Both the mechs look quite damaged from the battle.
( I can't quite make any accurate summary from the lyrics, but I have two theories regarding the lyrics.
First one is that our Female Protagonist is thinking about her beloved, The Hero, during the battle.
Second one is that the lyrics signify some connection between The Hero and the colossal demon mech she is fighting, that is, he is the one controlling the demon mech. In that case, he might be bewitched or cursed and doesn't know that he is fighting his beloved. Our Female Protagonist might be aware of this and perhaps she is also trying to free him from his curse.
The second theory makes more sense, as there are two mechs, one controlled by our Female Protagonist, and the two halves of the lyrics are sung by a male and a female singer, suggesting that the second mech might be controlled by The Hero.)



In Chapter 10( Let Love Win ), from the background and the lyrics, it seen that the battle between our Female Protagonist's mech and the colossal demon mech has finished, with both the mechs lying heavily damaged on the ground. In the aftermath of the battle, she and The Hero is standing on top of the mechs ( which also indicates that it was him who was controlling the demon mech). Now, she is asking him not to give in to the "sad machines" and to the " TV screens" ( which indicates that there are greater antagonistic forces at play) and let their love for each other prevail (which indicates that he was indeed brainwashed) . She is still having "Fevered dreams", that is the flashbacks, and here in the ruins of Arcadia their home, she is asking him for another moment of endearment with him, no matter where it would lead them.

Imagine that there's a person that will make a whole game based on the song and storyline. It will be perfect.

[d_akanneriukku]

I don't know, but every time I listen to TheFatRat's songs, I imagine a story.

[RedDragon-]

Dude I was just chilling watching videos when I randomly started humming and I searched it on hear and holy crap this is awesome, it reminds me of the old final fantasy games or pokemon

[laughforaminute]

Let's take The Fat Rat to 6 million before This journey of album ends

[TKUA]

This song does something to me it's so simplistic and instrumental but good

[ShadowGD_OfficialYT]

The coolest of all of the songs in this album, and one of my favorites. Liked the oriental-like melody of it. Great job on doing this one, TheFatRat!

[phonkfan]

[starkiller]

A true leader is needed. But what is a leader? A leader is honorable! A Leader WILL give himself to protect even the weakest amongst him. A leader will never Lie. A leader would give his life to save his sibling. A leader is Humbled before God....

[TheGGs]

What is this? A song or what.. This is legendary.. Hats off to fat rat..

[espio]
