Stage 1 "these lyrics are weird" Stage 2 "these lyrics are based on faust's inspiration, a doctor who felt all that the human brain could comprehend, all under the same sky, regardless of its morality, (blue day good, black night bad, or red sundown, morally gray) yet only "you" can see the colours as only the faust, who has lived trough anything, can truly undestand the morality and meaning of said actions, no one can share his point of view" Stage 3 "these lyrics are weird"

I will miss all the "give faust a hug" comments

Faust changed a lot while working during corona

Virgin "these lyrics make no sense" vs Chad "ABCDEF GO"

Seeing Faust looking at his hands as if he's about to realize something, only for him to start portraying a flower is outright heartbreaking. This and when he takes a giant pillbox from inside his paper bag and offers it to a defeated opponent. I wonder what the animators felt while bringing Faust to life

When youre in a bar fight but then you remember you're a depressed doctor in a crumbling health care system

Technically he’s right In the morning the sky is blue During sunset it’s red And in the night it’s black

This theme is genuinely one of my favorite videogame soundtracks of all time, it represents Faust realizing that the only one who can save and forgive him for what he did, is himself. Total masterpiece

As a colorblind, these lyrics speak to me on a different level

"Inflict a man with a traumatic event and he's fighting his inner demons for the rest of his life" -the song.

They really made the guy who used to be called “doctor baldhead” into the most tragic character in the game. AND HES STILL A GOOFBALL

imagine showing that song and pic to someone who does not know guilty gears, and having to make them believe that faust really is one of the best guys

After seeing the Another Story for Strive, this song just makes me feel bad for poor Faust. All that progress, literally having to be sacrificed, and put back to square one, for the sake of saving one lost little girl. Faust deserves a hug and a thank you for all his darned hard work. Can only hope the future looks bright for him.

The “Messiah will not come” line hits hard

I like how Faust went from a Looney Tunes character to a main villain from an 80’s-90’s horror movie Both work really well

This man built like a granddaddy long leg, what the hell- Faust was a great doctor, all he wanted to do was help anyone and everyone in need. One day, however, while working on a little girl, she died. Thinking this was his fault, he snapped and went on a murder spree. After calming down, he had gained some mental trauma and, actually, was able to tuck it all away in some of the later games to become the goofy and fun doctor we see in Xrd and Rev. But, he finds out that Zato-1 was responsible for the kid’s death and all of his trauma came flooding back. And, in Strive, we see him struggle with his mental state and these different personalities trying to take control. In his theme, this really reflects his problems and his want for being the funny and goofy doctor once again. Faust is such a great character and his theme is such an amazing story teller. Certified bop.

Having watched Another Story made me realise something... The person Faust is talking to in his song is... himself. Which brings a whole new interesting angle to bits like: "MESSIAH!!!!...... will not come" "We have only one sky.. [....] What is it like to you? No one can see the colours but you" Strive feels like a closer to so many of the characters: Baiken, Sol, I-No, Axel.... but Nurse Faust has just opened an entire new door, and there's a whole new struggle behind it

Now I know why Faust is so different in strive, he didn't died and ressurected himself he's just really REALLY tired from making that big door.

Man I can't put into word how much I LOVE Faust. I already love his XX/Xrd character but dammit, Strive Faust just touches me to a fucking personal level. A broken doctor who gave it all to save a little girl and get his redemption, now roams the land to help as many people as he can. Scary, yet tries to be comforting, while he seems to rediscover what it is to be amazed by simple things like flowers. Square one yes, Faust had his guilt away and now, he's just one loving doctor who sees the world as anew. I know he looks scary like "Haha Silent Hill Faust" but guys, Silent Hill is also known for its character development. Strive Faust got the design and the dev. Man I love him so much and each time I hear his theme song, I love him more. GG has plenty of great characters but none of them is able to make me feel what Faust makes me feel. My grandfather was a doctor, very kind and liked by all of his patients. He got hospitalized during 9 monthes of suffering before passing away. It got very hard for him to talk and since he couldn't move at all, he became very skinny... Faust kind of reminds me of him... It's like someone, somewhere, saw my grandfather, and created a character to pay hommage to him. I know it's not the case but it sure as hell feels like it... Thank you Faust, for just... existing. EDIT 02/16/2023: Hi! Coming back to this comment to thank you all for your support! Don't worry too much, it's been years now and we only have fonds memory of my grandfather. I think he's in a better place and that he worked to make the world a better place. Love to y'all!

Faust wears basketball sneakers to support his fucked up knees, on account of him being so tall. I bet he loves New Balance.

Give faust a hug

Well, we finally know what caused Faust to go crazy again. And goddamnit, it had to be depressing as hell.

I come from the additional story. Faust will be fine, guys. He just has an exhaustion-induced condition. He's handling it.

I remember once at the start of the year in my ELAR (reading/writing) class we had to make an essay analyzing lyrics from a song, and since this one is most closely related to the character as far as I can tell I chose this one

That song is the reason why I main Faust. I even got to cosplay him in a convention.

This is the song of the body mourning the loss of the soul.

Faust: "Isn't it hard... to see... With only one eye?" Faust: "You think so too?"

His overdrive is upsetting to watch. He's only trying to rush over to help and instead causes more pain on accident. It's the embodiment of "I want help, but I'm afraid of making it worse." Psychology aside, it's also very funny to see the character reactions

Be right back gotta Give Faust a hug

Some people are curious as to how Faust went from funny doctor into some silent hill guy. Meanwhile I’m here respecting his yeezies! Them tims are *_FRESH._*

Guilty Gear characters are so peak This man gave everything for redemption and now helps people out I love his hand animation, its like he looks at his hands and is just confused but decides to make a little joke about it, like an effort to make someone laugh. He really does just want to help, despite the circumstance

I've always interpreted the chorus as Faust asking the player, or whoever he's fighting, what hope they see in the world. In my head I picture Faust has completely given up on everything to the point of just losing himself even more-so than past games, no longer seeing any hope for humanity due to the cruelty they'd bring down to even a young girl. "We've got only one sky" I see as "Everyone lives in the same cruel world, full of atrocities, pain, grieving, and death to those who might not even deserve it" and "What is it like to you? No one can see the colors but you" as "Please, tell me anything, to give me newfound joy and hope for this world, what makes YOU happy? Despite all the horror that surrounds us every second of every day, HOW do you find any joy?" but that's just a hunch

2:39 really sounds like radiohead’s no surprises.

This guy got an anime intro and outro for a theme

I remember seeing this comment back before the channel got taken down so I’m gonna repost it in honour of the comment “Shit attacking from the other side” Yeah that’s about right

This song always makes me tear up near the end. The build up, the tension and release.. the epic finale combined with the chorus again. I'm always made a fool by this song and I feel grateful to it, to Daisuke and to Naoki.

Faust sold his soul for these jordans

0:33 All this time, I thought he was saying, “She didn’t make it, give up on the concept. And embrace his words.”

If you don't like Faust, this song, or the lyrics: don't talk to me, don't look at me, don't you even dare to breathe the same air as I do

No song with the lyric ‘Abcdef GO’ has the right to go this hard

"Isn't it hard? See, with one eye?" "You...think so too?"

I love the way the vocals come together during the chorus

Give Faust A Hug :(((

"not to self diagnose but something is wrong"

Let's give Faust a group hug. Boi needs it

This really feels like its Faust singing, trying to get a message across to you

3:13 goosebumps button

I love the high note on "you" at 3:49

Faust deserves a hug

This is a certified square one classic

I feel so bad for Faust when he hands a jar of medication to his knocked out opponent

Everyone fights for a reason. What is Faust fighting for? The girl? Or his sanity?

Guys....Faust needs a hug

When Your Happy you enjoy the music When Your Sad you understand the lyrics *We've got only one sky* *Blue, red, and black paranoia* *What is it like to you?* *No one can see the colors but you* (╥_╥)

Everyone is saying all of the other characters are hot but they're purposefully ignoring the most majestic entity on this planet

we demolishing TOWER OF BABEL with this one 🔥🔥

The "paranoia" gets me every time

S Q U A R E O N E ! !

The entire ending portion of this is by far the most beautiful piece of music Daisuke has ever done. No joke it always gets me a bit teary eyed when I hear it

Coming back here after the DLC Story arrived, man, these lyrics hit so much different.

2:39 everything from that part is a fucking masterpiece

My man’s resting easy in square one now 😔

My understanding of this song’s lyrics is that it’s someone (Faust) trying to convince his other personalities that they aren’t not schizophrenic, despite having dissociative identity disorder themselves. A self diagnosis of sorts

I'm loved how the singer screams "Messiah", before saying "Will not come", like Faust is begging for God to help him before immediately telling himself that no, no one will help him. the fact the song is from the mad doctor's perspective makes it all the more interesting.

Idk if faust needs a hug anymore but I sure do now. :(

This song makes me want to crawl on all fours and scuttle like a bug lmao

Don't mess with us Fuast mains, we've got only one sky

ArcSys gave Faust a hug in this patch. T_T Faustbros, our sky is clear blue now.

My friend introduced me to guilty gear, because, and I quote: “he is a tall, lanky, spamming little weirdo, just like you!” And he was right. Man, Faust is cool.

Seems likes he is relapsing, he is trying to overcome his depressive state

“You’re talking a lot of shit for someone in wheelchair-ramming distance.”

LET'S GO THEY'RE BACK

i have a theory for what this song means, I think it shows how disjointed and broken his head is (obviously) and the blue red and black represents his inner emotions and thoughts. the biggest part (blue) is his need to help people, and his want to save them all, the black is his grief, the next biggest part, that encompasses him. red a very small part, but it's his rage, and his want for harm. but it's all him, he's the one sky, but only he can see himself. and it's him rationing that because only he knows himself, only he can fix himself.

I want to hive him a hug so bad

I've been listening to this song for 2 days straight now someone help

Alone... Infection. I have crippling depression...

give faust a hug

Dude, I loved these videos so much. Seeing them back with your channel is a Christmas Eve miracle

I love the "No Surprises"- referencing Break in this song. 😁💜

faust got turned into the before and after section of a drug psa

My friend mispronounced this as "Alone Affection" and I think it'd still do its job well.

no surprises starts playing out of absolute nowhere

My man got sent back to square one.

Man that one rift in the bridge and the one in beginning of the chorus gets me every time

4:01 in this part i swear i can hear him saying "We've got only one spy!"

i love that they do his taunt in slow motion when the song goes quiet.

Faust the most bizzare scary and the nicest character in strive

bru I used to main faust all the time when I was a kid because he was the " funny bag doctor" wtf happened

"Shit attacking from other side!"

props to the music team being able to pop off this banger while trying not to cry their ass off

2:39 i can't unhear "no surprises" here 😭

0:00 "Oh hell yeah! That's the manic shit I need to hear while playing some creepy Faust! Hell yeah" 2:39 "... even after all he went through... after all he sacrificed... after there was nothing left of him, he's still out there trying to help people"

Square One really did a number on the good doctor

Faust being my first daredevil encounter while I did ramlethals arcade mode pretty much burnt this theme into my head and now im a full on faust main just from it (and how fun of a character to play he is)

The drums are insane

...Square...One...

This is my favorite song in the soundtrack so far. Its just so good

Give this man a hug. He deserves it

i loved it when Faust said MESSIAH, will not come. And started attacking with shit from the other side

We're getting out of square one with this one 🔥🔥🔥
