Lyrics:
It's not evil or sacred, it's just life
He just doesn't defy the gravity of something
Life (Sustenance)
Life (Respected)
It's drawn to each other
Ubiquity
Life (Radiant)
Life (Existence)
She doesn't need a name to distinguish him
Oh, she flies through the proud darkness
rather than the breathless vastness of the world
And yet he did not reject the light herself
He bеlieves she's onе of a chain
It's no exception
It's just less
I guess you can't trust a gentle tiger
Life (Sustenance)
Life (Respected)
It's drawn to each other
Ubiquity
Life (Radiant)
Life (Existence)
He doesn't need a name to distinguish her
Rulers are afraid of the wind
For the rustling of the trees would take the night from them
Oh, he flies to be the wings of the flightless
Fly high
To be seen from everywhere
She just tells them he's there without whispering
He believes she's one of a chain
Oh, he flies through the proud darkness
Rather than the breathless vastness of the world
And yet she did not reject the light himself
She believes she's one of a chain
She flies at night to see the sun of tomorrow
He never wanted a special day
She just wants to be there
Like a weed, naturally, as a matter of course
He believes we're one of a chain
Matter of course
She believes we're one
Matter of course

I think ppl aren't appreciating enough the parts that go "Life||(Sustenance)||Life||(Respected)||It's drawn to each other||Ubiquity" The song is about unapologetically being oneself but also about being "one of a chain", drawn to others in ways that are both cooperative and opportunistic but all the while respectful of what it takes to be. (I don't really know about this part, but I'm really just saying that it deserves more thought)

It's a story of a character originally driven by full-on genocidal fury discovering how much beauty there is in everything, and how interconnected it all is. It's a song about living, and returning the love and support you've gotten back to the world around you. About this legendarily dangerous person who's just...out for a walk now, while all these people with their own agendas panic over it. It's a song about being okay.

Y'know in times of yore i was taught that people who deviated from the typical norms of gender and preference were wrong, and before long i questioned those means as i grew across the internet. A choice my elder made, and though at first i was sour. I soon turned to a passive look towards those who deviated from the norm i took. Eventually i learned that they were no different from me, and like my experience with this song. Confused and put off by its design, i soon found myself attracted by its meaning. Realizing that these people have endless desires dream and possibilities just like tue rest of this infinite existence, and thus, both go hard as diamonds.

I'd bet Kliff would be happy to see how far Testament has come in their personal journey. Happy for them to have found a place in the world, to have found peace, simply happy to see them living a content life that they want to live despite their previous actions in the series, Like A Weed, Naturally, as a Matter of Course. If only he had been around just a bit longer, I'm sure Kliff would told Testament this himself, the only regret Kliff could ever have in regards to Testament I imagine was passing far before he could've seen all of this himself.

It would be really nice to see in his Arcade route being him searching out Testament and them finally getting to reunite after years apart. But it would also diminish his death so I'm not sure if it would even be good or not.

Testament just wants to vibe and go places. I respect it. Be like Testament. EDIT - 11 months later and I have an addendum (oh and thanks for all the likes, y'all): Testament doesn't judge the good or the bad aspects of a thing, nor the sum of those parts. They see the experience and accept it for what it is, no matter the quality or the nature of it. To have been at all and impacted the world around you - and the world around them by extension - is a beautiful thing that deserves reverence in its own right. Of course, this doesn't mean to be impassive to the world, only to accept the good and the bad, and not to crush yourself with the weight of either extreme. *Live.* That's all there is to it.

I love the contrast between testament's simple contentedness with life against the yearning and complex ideals of characters like happy chaos and ino and how that shows in the lyrics of their respective themes. Its also cool to see the parallels between happy chaos's theme and this one as the two characters both simply wish to just exist in a world they admit is greater than themselves with the metaphors of drifting and being a weed respectively; Cool to see how they work into radically different philosophies: one nihilistic view of an indifferent world so mathematically fixed to one course that all outcomes feel pointless making surprises, displays, and drama the only things worthwhile and another more absurdist perspective appreciating one's part in such a world, finding purpose in their own small contained world.

I think the ambiguity is extremely intentional, Testament is Testament. The song being their identities as he or she or they, the light and darkness that makes their past and heart, and their family and friends are all equally valid thoughts, being a self-encouraging song just as much as respecting those that gave them acceptance and inspiration. It doesn't matter if he's a dude, or she's a chick. A gear, a monster, or a human. If they are a good PERSON not trying to cause trouble for anyone, what does it matter? Just, goth mommy instead of Superman.

Pretty sure the pronouns aren't talking about Testament at all, but rather about the people he observed, those being Dizzy and Ky. Testament has been more of an observer since coming back to life, choosing to just watch things from afar since Dizzy left the swamps. The lyrics here seem to be Testament's thoughts ever since, only by then deciding that they are also one of a chain (that chain being Dizzy and Ky's family). I mean, who else do you see flying to be the wings of the flightless if not a king? Who would choose to fly through the proud darkness rather than the breathless vastness of the world if not someone who's hiding from it? I think this fits Testament's new role perfectly, since they say in the arcade that they got no wishes, or dreams, all that was just a walk to see people and the world Testament chose to leave behind long ago.

I see a lot of comments talking about what He and She represents, in my opinion, He and She represents the duality between light and darkness, between the two facets of Testament, you will ask me, why I think that, It may be very simplistic, but, "She flies at night to see the sun of tomorrow", "And yet he did not reject the light herself", this is the whole magic of the theme of Testament, the fact that they be "lost" between the darkness and the light, the darkness of his former actions, and his rise towards the light thanks to dizzy.

This song is simply about existence. To simply exist in the world regardless of gender or sexual identity. "Rulers are afraid of the wind" those in power are afraid of changing times. Because changing times means that those who rule become out of touch, they start to lose their grip on power that they held onto so tightly. They'll keep the night going as long as just so that they can keep their power. Those who exist outside the norm don't want anything special, they don't want a special day or to be honored or anything of grandeur. They simply wish to exist without fear of being persecuted. A weed is a plant that is seen as "undesirable" yet it's still life. It's no particular plant just one that you don't want in your yard. A weed still has the right and want to live and just wants to be. To simply exist. A weed never choose were it wanted to grow, or even that it wanted to exist. But here it is, different from everything else and that's okay. Because all the weed wants is to live.

They both have changed as individuals and their previous names no longer fit their current identity so they changed it. Nobody is denying that Testament used to identify as a man. But now their identity changed in the 5 year time span between Guilty Gear X and Strive. So no it's not a retcon, it's just writing.

“He flies to be the wings of the flightless” “She flies at night to see the sun of tomorrow” These lines are genuinely so fucking beautiful. Also, I think that the line “he/she believes that he’s/she’s one of a chain” means that Testament believes that everything they do, and everything they went through, is only a small piece of a bigger puzzle. An event in our lives that we may see as purely bad or purely good, or maybe something that we think is, in the end, rather small and insignificant could be the start of something bigger than the sum of its parts. Similarly we can see ourselves through a humble lens, thinking we are simply one more person in this cold and uncaring world, but there’s always a chance that we see ourselves in that fashion because we are only a single link of a larger chain. Testament sees themselves as small, but is aware that they could be just a small chunk of something bigger. Or maybe not, maybe I’m just going insane over this one line, lmao.

The whole "doing both she and he thing for an androgynous character" is so basic on paper and yet so good in execution, I love it.

Testament’s theme definitely does feel like the song you’d give to the one in charge of the crazy place of guilty gear. Fantastic video! I always love the visuals you give to these

I think it comes down to music taste. I find most of the songs you just listed to be on the lower end of Strive’s music (they’re still really good though).

I don’t think any of Strive’s songs are bad. In fact, they’re all quality, but quality doesn’t mean shit if it’s not to your taste. In short: The Circle is the best
