Situation
Assassins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you've lived here, and you remained here
And you may be the baby
And you may be the chosen one
The beach is burning as the sun goes down
You're in a strange light
It just remains a mystery
I remember, when you saw the sky
You said you saw me in it
So be true to nothing
We'll march on peacefully
Baby, don't break down, baby, leave your light on
When the day comes around, don't leave me stranded
We've got a situation, I think we've got a situation here
And when you go slow, I see your halo
You cut a gorgeous figure
And when the light's low
You still seem shadowed
Oh, gorgeous Rex
I love you, oh
So be true to nothing
We'll march on peacefully
Baby, don't break down, baby, leave your light on
When the day comes around, don't leave me stranded
We've got a situation, I think we've got a situation here
So be true to nothing
Please wake up and speak to me
In the end, no suffering
We'll march on peacefully
Baby, don't break down, baby, leave your light on
When the day comes around, don't leave me stranded
We've got a situation, I think we've got a situation here
You were born here, and you stayed here
You were born here, and you stayed here
You were born here...
The opening lines of Assassins' song "Situation" seem to be addressing someone who has lived their entire life in one place, perhaps feeling a sense of stagnation or confinement. It could be interpreted as an urging to break free of their usual routine and venture outwards into the unknown. The mysterious "strange light" culminates in the feeling that something is not quite right, a discomfort or unease that is emphasized by the repetition of "we've got a situation."
The repeated asking of "baby, leave your light on" could suggest a desire for consistency and constancy, as if the singer fears being left alone in the dark. The reference to a "gorgeous figure" and seeing someone's halo could be seen as positive affirmations or compliments, though the shadowing effect suggests a sense of ambiguity or complexity in the person being addressed. The final line, "you were born here, and you stayed here," is repeated multiple times, perhaps serving as a reminder that one's past does not necessarily dictate their future.

Lovely, an opinion based argument.
This will not end well.
So, i cannot say i have played the shadow games, for i'm not really into the Lord of the Rings, and no one can fault anyone for not liking something.
But factually speaking, if an Assassin is caught before they nail their target, they don't get to restart, they just have to deal with the guards or sod off and try again when the next opportunity arises.
Dishonoured contextually, Corvo cannot afford to come back, for every day that passes, the worse the situation gets. Assassin's creed, well... ubisoft, innit.
Gameplay wise, i'm sure the shadow games are more fun, but that would be because it isn't strictly a stealth game, is it? Do confirm.
Assassin's creed is just forced stealth the game, and many can agree that being forced to be stealthy is far less preferable than choosing to be stealthy. Dishonoured, while it primarily is a stealth game, it can also be an action game, although how you deal with enemies in that game dictates the ending and the situation of the plague, the more people you kill, the more rat hoards show up.
It was an impressive thing when people noticed it when Dishonoured originally came out, but with hindsight, it seems rather simple now, dunnit? Yet i rarely see it being done with modern games.
Finally, an opinion: Sekiro and Elden Ring, best stealth. Why? Well, i think its because it understood the point of stealth, which is to gain an advantage by being unseen until the final moments.
Its an opinion, you cannot argue it. But who is right and who isn't are facts that can be argued. So, do not let your arguments turn into an insult festival, its just unsightly.
@shamanllama
The thing i love about Assassins Creed 1 is, although there are definitely artistic embellishments, the FIRST game WAS PRETTY historically accurate, actually.
The castle you played in with the man leading you was REAL. The castle in Masyaf was occupied by the Hashashins. The Nizari sect or Hashashins was said to have fallen in the 1200's, though its hard to say, because Nizari still exist to this day.
They were taken down when they got to ballsy and tried to assassinate some Mongolian invaders.
But make NO mistake, the Hashashins were a FORMIDABLE infiltration force. They struck fear into the hearts of their enemy not because of their battle prowess, but because of their ability to act as their enemy during inflitration for months, even years, waiting for the right moment to strike. They struck fear, because it made everyone paranoid, because they could never truly know who was and was not a Hashashin.
The Hashashin were masters of disguise, information, spying, and stealth striking.
And that IS historically true. Thats WHY the Hashashin were so feared. They werent great fighters, they were great hiders.
They had to develop those tactics because they were outnumbered.
@ipuya
I am from iran and so know the story of Hassan Sabbah and the assasins. I have been to the castle of Alamut and indeed it is a very long trek up a VERY narrow path, at some points only wide enough for one person to pass. If you want to read a fascinating story on this you can check out a book called Samarkand by Amin Maalouf. By the way the Fadai is pronounced fadayee (fadayin being the plural).
@mimi4moe
Thanks for the book recommendation.
@Jester-Riddle
Frank Herbert uses much of Arab history in his Dune series ... The Feyadin being the people of the deserts trained in specialist types of warfare against much greater size armies. The Fremen people also had blue eyes from exposure to 'the Spice' which marked them out as being different from other peoples.
@arash_vaziri
@@Jester-Riddle Just in case, "Fadayee" means someone who is ready to sacrifice his life. In Persian literature it has two major usage, one is used in love and relationships the other one is mostly related to being so absorbed by a religious belief that one ready to sacrifice his life for that.
@corticallarvae
I'm surprised he didn't mention that there was a cloaked imamate for a while before and after this...I have an ismaili friend..
@corticallarvae
he is actually getting me in touch with their primary scholar.. to get the whole deal wether the cloaked imamate . there's a strange incident I read about where someone conveyed an interpretation to a group of Lebanese fighters who were supposedly being laid seige to kicked of a modern version of this precise attack strategy which of course they new about I think it's more of hey this absolutely forbidden technique works really well kind of thing.. ill poke around to find out which encroachment . and get back if I can actually confirm this.
@Miss-Anne-Thrope
Yes, but the assassins didn't actually jump to their death but always landed in conveniently placed piles of hay and stayed there until their enemies stopped looking for them. 😉
Seriously though, the AC franchise did ignite a fascination with the real assassins and the Templars. This then lead to an obsession with the middle ages in general! A video on the Templars may be next, perhaps? 😊
@kylehumphrey646
He's done one already:)
@gervankempen8721
(if the origin story whas a hollywood movie they probably used "The Superhero Landing" hahaha
@xyre8443
He had a video about templars already
