Field of Hopes and Dreams
Man on the Internet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What new world is this
Where the dark meets the light?
That calls me to ACT
Or to SPARE, or to FIGHT

It gives me this power
That shines, burning bright
But I'll get my freedom
Before morning light
I cross through this field
Of the Dark's hopes and dreams
A world unfamiliar nothing as it seems

With ashes and dust all my memories scream
That I've lost my choice
Of what can be redeemed

Nobody has to die there's no reason why
We can't let them be

We'll go and make amends
That's how the story ends
Be the change you want to be

Although this world is faded to black
I know all the stories are true
You'll free us all with me at your back
And I'm glad to be there with you!

I cross through this field
(Although this world)
Of the Dark's hopes and dreams
(Is faded to black)
A world unfamiliar (I know all the stories)
Nothing as it seems (Are true)

With ashes and dust (You'll free us all)
All my memories scream (With me at your back)
That I've lost my choice
(And I'm glad to be there with)
Of what can be redeemed (You)

Be the change you want to be!
Is there a choice for me?
I guess we'll wait and see!

Lost in this world I do not understand
Things unfamiliar but so out of hand
Is my lot in life just to follow commands?
As child of light and as child of man

The surveys in town tell me
How much I've grown
My SOUL an enigma that they'll never know
Now everything feels like my
Will's not my own
Since I have been cast to the darkness below

I know you'll find a way
To share the light of day
With everybody here!

Life is a crazy ride
But when we're side by side
Then there's nothing to fear!

Although this world is faded to black
I know all the stories are true
You'll free us all with me at your back
And I'm glad to be there with you!

You think I don't notice their stares?
They surveys in town (Although this world)
Tell me how much I've grown
(Is faded to black)
My soul an enigma (I know all the stories)
That they'll never know (Are true)
It doesn't matter, I won't care
Now everything feels (You'll free us all)
Like my will's not my own
(With me at your back)
Since I have been cast
(And I'm glad to be there)
To the darkness below (With you)





What is there I can be?
Since there's no choice for me?

Line by Line Meaning

What new world is this
I am in a completely unfamiliar and mysterious world


Where the dark meets the light?
A place where good and evil coexist


That calls me to ACT
This world urges me to take action


Or to SPARE, or to FIGHT
Deciding whether to show mercy or engage in conflict


It gives me this power
I possess an inner strength


That shines, burning bright
A radiant and intense energy within me


But I'll get my freedom
I am determined to attain my independence


Before morning light
Before a new day dawns


I cross through this field
I navigate through a battleground


Of the Dark's hopes and dreams
Containing the desires and ambitions of the dark side


A world unfamiliar nothing as it seems
An unfamiliar reality that deceives appearances


With ashes and dust all my memories scream
My past experiences cry out in pain and regret


That I've lost my choice
I feel like I no longer have control over my decisions


Of what can be redeemed
The possibilities of what can be salvaged seem limited


Nobody has to die there's no reason why
No one should meet their demise; there is always an alternative


We can't let them be
We should not allow harm to come upon them


We'll go and make amends
We will take action to fix past mistakes


That's how the story ends
The narrative will conclude with reconciliation and resolution


Be the change you want to be
Take responsibility for shaping your desired future


Although this world is faded to black
Even though this world is filled with darkness


I know all the stories are true
I believe in the validity and power of these tales


You'll free us all with me at your back
Together, we will liberate everyone from oppression


And I'm glad to be there with you!
I feel immense joy being by your side


Is there a choice for me?
Am I capable of making my own decisions?


I guess we'll wait and see!
I will have to be patient and find out


Lost in this world I do not understand
I feel bewildered and confused in this unfamiliar world


Things unfamiliar but so out of hand
Events are uncontrollable and unfamiliar to me


Is my lot in life just to follow commands?
Am I destined to live a life of obedience?


As child of light and as child of man
Being both an embodiment of goodness and a mortal being


The surveys in town tell me
The opinions of others in the community inform me


How much I've grown
The progress and development I have made


My SOUL an enigma that they'll never know
My inner essence is a mystery they can never comprehend


Now everything feels like my
Everything seems as if my


Will's not my own
I no longer possess control over my desires and decisions


Since I have been cast to the darkness below
Because I have been thrust into the depths of darkness


I know you'll find a way
I am confident in your ability to discover a solution


To share the light of day
To spread positivity and illuminate the world


With everybody here!
Including every individual present


Life is a crazy ride
Existence is an unpredictable and chaotic journey


But when we're side by side
When we stand together


Then there's nothing to fear!
There is no reason to feel afraid


You think I don't notice their stares?
Do you believe I am not aware of their scrutinizing gaze?


They surveys in town
The community's evaluations


Tell me how much I've grown
Inform me of my personal growth


My soul an enigma
My inner essence remains an unsolvable puzzle


That they'll never know
A secret they will never uncover


It doesn't matter, I won't care
Their opinions hold no significance; I won't be affected


Now everything feels
Presently, everything seems


Like my will's not my own
As if I am not in control of my own desires


Since I have been cast
As I have been thrust


To the darkness below
Into the depths of darkness


What is there I can be?
What possibilities lie ahead for me?


Since there's no choice for me?
Considering I am devoid of options?

Lost in this world
I do not understand
Things unfamiliar
But so out of hand

Is my lot in life
Just to follow commands
As child of light
And as child of man

The surveys in town
Tell me how much I've grown
My soul an enigma
That they'll never know

Now everything feels
Like my will's not my own
Since I have been cast

Tell me how much I've grown

My soul an enigma

That they'll never know

Now everything feels

To the darkness below

What is there I can be?
Since there's no choice for me?

Welcome to the field of hopes and dreams,
Though it’s tearing at the seams,
It’s a land of fantasy,
One of maaake believe.

Stick together till the end
As we make the darkner’s friend,
As we bring them our light
Shining so ve-ry bright

Cause there’s a light inside your soul
That’s still shining in the cold,
It’s the truth, the promise in our hearts,
Don’t forget, we’re with you in the dark

Okay so "is a girl" and "is a boy" are on the comment blacklist. I'm going to pin this comment so hopefully people read this before they type. Yes, unlike Treesicle I am aware that Ralsei is a boy and Susie is a girl. No, whatever gender you think the voice cast is does not magically change the canon gender of characters in game nor does it mean I'm somehow an idiot who thinks they're a boy/girl/whatever gender. Bro and Emmy gave the best auditions for the characters and thus they were cast. Thanks for your time and I really, really hope people actually read this!

Edit: Congratulations there have now been over a hundred people trying to "test" the blacklist. It works. You don't need to test this. There are better things to do with your time.

Moin Three

wow, that's uh. Weird, I hope people won't do comments like this.

Ryan G.

DID YOU JUST ASSU... :P

No, I totally understand (I did even without that comment). I personally think the voices are more fitting this way: Susie with the "mean, darker voice" and our "fluffy boi prince" with a higher one. It doesn't matter who is speaking, the final sound fitting for each character is important.

Bart Simpson for example is voiced by a woman in German...just to let you know :)

Андрій Лотиш

Many of the boys are actually voiced by girls, because kids are having higher voices like girls

Leah Santone

I’m sorry you have deal with those idiots, Alex. I think you picked good voices for both of these characters, and as always, I love your lyrics.

Antonio Gris

@Ryan G. Bart is also voiced by a woman in English I believe

I love how unintentionally in-character it is that kris is having an identity crisis and ralsei is just completely ignoring it and talking about the prophecy

chong willson

@Flyingpiggles10
actually they ralsei does talk about to kris's identity crisis

Marc Taco

This song surprisingly aged beautifully with Ch. 2

RetroChimDev

Ignoring it??? He's trying to boost Kris's confidence and help while also talking about the prophecy, Ralsei seemingly cares a lot about Kris so I wouldn't say he's ignoring them at all
