For Narmer is the heartbreaking opposite of one of the songs you reacted to back then "We all lift together", the moment we saw happened to everyone we helped out before the New War, it made it personal.

[sharlesdaviskendy]

I feel like the important context for this song is that this is sung by the same people (in game) who sang We All Lift Together after the main villain breaks them and takes over.

[TheNefastor]

"It's very hypnotic"... considering what's happening in the story, you have no idea how much of an understatement that is ^.^

[bloody]

More than a person, Narmer is a would-be "country", the unification of all colonies and planets under Narmer leadership, following the Orokin remnant Ballas and the Sentient faction under Erra, both united in an attempt to control he Origin System.
As you could see in the lyrics they aren't fond of dissention or independent thought. The Narmer would use machines called Veils to mind control people using their dreams and aspirations agains them

[MarcoMeatball]

time to come to the dark side. Let me play through the entire story with you, if you dare.

[sparrow_rose]

When they sing "Here today we sing our story" you can hear the beginning notes of This is What You Are in the background

[yiyex]

From the strong feeling and perserverance of "We all lift Together" to such a defeated tone and sad song as "For Narmer"...when i heard that first time it made it personal against Ballas.

[DocHoloday]

I always love Warframe music, ever since they started the cinematic quests, it's been great.

[volmie]

You and Marco(meatball) should do a chat about Warframe's music sometime, since y'all both have pretty different musical backgrounds I think it could be a fun discussion

[Xenotater]

One more Warframe song you gotta look at, a space sea shanty, "Sleeping in the Cold Below"

[agooose]

As mentioned by a bunch of other people, these are the same people as in "We All Lift Together", after they had been taken over and turned into a hive mind, evidenced by the line "Virtue once was work together... but virtue now is lift alone"

Its especially crushing after they fought to be free from their work that the first line is "healed the pain of independence" and later "Where once we dreamt of independence...Now we stand and dream alone"

[WonderStarz]

Hearing them sing for Ballas and being almost hopeless against the war, man this part of the game gave me chills, I love how Warframe has improved with the story quests and they're banger after banger, and the music is superb! Also those "differences" you can hear at the second half of the song, are more like a "leitmotif" it appears during various OST from the game, as an example you can hear it at the beginning of This is What You Are.
Thanks for the video!

[ganjiblobflankis]

6:13 is the opening phrase from This Is What You Are and also features in the opening cinematic (probably elsewhere too). It serves as a motif for you being presented with a mystery or discovering something.

[jetman.]

This was a good one.
Feel free to geek out over it.

[haganeEdwardElric]

People already gave you some context in the comment, but didn't see anyone pointing out yet that this song is almost 'identical' with We All Lift Together (as other comments explained, this is sung by same people who sing We All Lift Together). You can sing this song's lyrics with We All Lift Together's music and vice versa and it was intentional. I suggest listening both back to back for full experience while paying attention to lyrics too! Because both lyrics and how the songs are sung are also telling the story of who sing it;

Solaris United was a group of people wanting independence from Corpus and always worked together towards that personal freedom. It also shows in the first song; they don't sing in sync, song is kinda 'all over the place' etc. they are individuals working for the same goal and For Narmer is sung by these same people, brainwashed with 'Veils' by Ballas to the idea of 'All As One' (so no individualism exist, they all praise only Ballas) and it's reflected in the song; they all sing in sync, no personal quirks, only one harmony 'All As One' - which is exactly what made this song really hit in the feels when we came across it on the quest.

[ArtemisAlphaling]

Now imagine slowly going down an elevator watching the freedom fighters you had worked with to help them escape bondage and slaver, who when you first met them they sung a song about fighting together and being one.

And now the entire place is under the thrall of this games BBEG after YEARS of build up and the utter hopelessness of realizing, you don’t just lose a mission when you “died” at the start of the quest, you lose a damn war.

[jameslafand]

A super cool thing about the new war quest is that its a near parallel of the unification of egypt, when the king Narmer like in warframe brought egypt together under one religion of the sun god Horus. Though it was suggested that he did this peacefully there where depictions of narmer smiting lower Egypts religion. (Fun fact : narmer written down means painful catfish)

[DroneQuadcopter]

The fact that first we got We all lift together and than there is a Fortuna converted under Narmer control makes it more creepy...

[viridibusoccult]

I love how the music gives the feeling that it is over, they are lifting together still but no longer for their freedom. It really made me want to free them and at the same time get back at Ballas

[Devine]

"i dont know who narmer is but damn they have done something great for this
character" ohh if only he knew🤐
