Living With Determination
目黒将司 Lyrics

We have lyrics for these tracks by 目黒将司:

Burn My Dread Dreamless dorm, ticking clock I walk away from the soundless…
Dream of Butterfly Dream of Butterfly, or is life a dream? Don't wanna wake…
Let butterflies spread until the dawn Inside of agony Those butterflies crying out 泣き朽ち果てる So boy,…
P3 fes Kimi wa ne tashika ni ano toki watashi no soba…

Shadow World Truth Is elusive, it's nowhere to be found Yea the truth can…
Time to Make History It's a war out there everyday You can't hide from it,…
True Story 胸騒ぎ無視しても心がFeel Blue Muna sawagi mushi shite mo kokoro ga Fe…

Persona 3 is meant to represent the pains and trials of accepting death.
Persona 4 is meant to represent the freedom and joy of life lived with sincerity and truth.
Persona 5 is meant to represent how can reject the unfairness of life and see to the betterment of one's life regardless of the circumstances.
P1 and P2 are about being ignored.

When the game scraps it's originally goofy light hearted soundtrack later on for the emotional, nostalgic bittersweet tunes that is the ending part of persona 3 that's when I knew this game surpassed the others. It keeps your morale up with its soundtrack and with your friends you feel you can do anything. Then it swoops in distances everyone with a really hard decision and plays these themes cementing the fact that this is going to carry on much longer so reminisce about this world and what you've done and prepare yourself for the end. The music is so beatiful to definatly my favourite persona soundtrack

A dormitory full of people that decided to face the apocalypse itself. Living their last days with the terror of inevitable death along with “determination”.

At january the city’s and school’s themes also change. They reflect the hopelessness that normal people feel but this theme reflects a though decision made. Standing tall amidst the clash of worlds.

The sees members had nothing to lose, yet too much to lose.

"The meaning of my life is not something I should worry about. It's really what others think of my life or what I was able to do for them. So... for me, or you, or anyone... the meaning of our lives is something that we make but don't see. People can't survive without help from others. ...We all depend on one another."

2 years ago, I started my first play through 7th grade summer. I was 13, and I “wasn’t like most kids” cliche. I was always depressed. I live in Chicago, and that summer I couldn’t go anywhere because of the gang violence. It was bad where I lived since I lived in a middle income area that was in the process of gentrification. The gang bangers were pissed that they would have to move out of their territory. Consequently, they would pick on anyone and anything that moved. I had once witnessed a group of thugs beating on a dog. That summer was just horrible. And then school was also horrible. I was stressing from the high school situation. The goal for every Chicagoan is to get into a IB league high school. In order to do that, you needed to try your hardest during 7th grade, Bc supposedly that’s what the high schools looked at. And then there was this girl who I liked but i didn’t have enough courage to say anything... guess I should’ve maxed out my courage. And than I was going though problems with my mom and dad since they were divorced. My dad kept pushing the idea of me going to court because my parents were divorced. Therefore they fought over wanting custody of me. All of these events had gave me “self diagnosed depression😂”. Anyways, that summer, all I had was a PS3. I had saw Jay From the Kub scouts play this little known game called Persona 3. I thought it was awesome, so I wanted to play it myself. I had bought it on the PS3 store, and I waited for ever to download. But man, once it downloaded, 143 hours were spent on that game. I loved it. It bought me out of, but yet put me pack into depression. The rippling moments, like that GODAMN PINK CROCODILE😭😭😭. The way the game dealt with death too, it weirdly made me more intrigued about the idea of death. It also made me question the answer to life while I was on my first play though. And I write all of this just for this one song. One time I had decided to drink liquor, and I had a lot. It was 5 swigs of Jack Daniels, and 2 Coronas. Me being the idiot teenager I was, I decided to play P3. I forgot what cutscene it was, but the song had started. I listened to it, and I just started balling my eyes out. All the stress and pain in my life, all lead up to that moments just because of this beautiful song. That was one of the moments where I realized how great Persona 3 was as a whole, and how much of an impact it made on my life. If u ever asked me what game u should play, I will instantly say this. And if u were in the same situation as me, I would highly recommend this game. Because thats just how good this god damn game is...
