Lost in Thoughts All Alone

"Lost in Thoughts All Alone" (Japanese: if～ひとり思う～ if ~Thinking Alone~) is a major musical theme from Fire Emblem Fates which is frequently performed by the character Azura throughout the game's events. The original Japanese song was performed by Renka, who provides Azura's singing voice in the Japanese version of Fates, while the English version was performed by Rena Strober, Azura's English voice actress. In the Heirs of Fate DLC series, Yoshimasa Hosoya and Matthew Mercer, the Japanese and English voice actors of Shigure respectively, sing a fourth verse exclusive to the aforementioned series alongside Azura's respective voice actresses.

A brief excerpt of the English version of the song, featuring the chorus.

The Japanese version of the song received an album release shortly after the release of Fates itself, and also received a limited edition release. The album contains two versions of "Lost in Thoughts All Alone" itself as well as two other songs by Renka, and the limited edition adds a DVD with two music videos for "Lost in Thoughts All Alone", one of which is Fire Emblem-themed.

Appearances

Fire Emblem series

• Fire Emblem Fates
  • Azura sings the chorus in a cutscene at the end of Chapter 4 before meeting Corrin, to release Takumi from his brainwashing in Birthright Chapter 10, and revert Fort Dragonfall back to normal in Birthright Chapter 20. She sings two of the three verses as part of her dances in Birthright Chapter 12 and Conquest Chapter 14.
  • The Endgames of all three campaigns use an ominous version of the song: End of All (Sky) in Birthright, End of All (Land) in Conquest, and End of All (Below) in Revelation. Each track is mostly the same but uses their route's respective verse of the song.
  • Three of the song's verses appear in the Ancient Texts as the three Prophecies. Various lines from the song are also the namesakes of certain chapters, including pre-split Chapter 6, Birthright Chapter 6, Conquest Chapter 6, Revelation Chapter 6, the Birthright Endgame, the Conquest Endgame, and Revelation Chapter 27.
  • The song is played during the first part of the credits for all three routes.

• Fire Emblem Fates: DLC
  • The fourth verse exclusive to the Heirs of Fate DLC series lends its lines to the names of all six chapters of the arc.
  • An arrangement of the variation from the Heirs of Fate DLC series plays during End: Lost in the Waves, the series' final chapter.
  • The song is played in a cutscene if all units survived during End: Lost in the Waves.

Other appearances

• Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U: Two versions of "Lost in Thoughts All Alone" were added to the game as part of Corrin's downloadable content package: the original lyrical version from Fates, shortened to roughly two-and-a-half minutes, and an instrumental, more energetic remix. In for Wii U, both are added as songs to the Castle Siege and Coliseum stages, while in for Nintendo 3DS, the remixed version is available to be played in the Smash Run mode.

• Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: The aforementioned versions of "Lost in Thoughts All Alone" have been reused in the game, appearing alongside a third remixed version that was added; all three are playable songs in Castle Siege, Coliseum, and Arena Ferox. Additionally, Corrin was given a new victory theme based on "Lost in Thoughts All Alone".

Japanese (translated) Swaying and being swayed One's thoughts hang in the balance Like ephemeral bubbles down the river stream A hand will open up the path to tomorrow Reaching out to the light The infallible silver blade During a nap Cut off missing A song that brings peace to the world Scatters a soft light from a crystal Like a sunrise that drives away the darkness One's thoughts Swaying and being swayed One's thoughts hang in the balance Like ephemeral bubbles down the river stream A hand will open up the path to tomorrow Moving towards to the dark Toward an empty chalk throne Deceiving youself and everything The complected reason Obsidian slowly collapses Like a sunset that drives away the light One's thoughts The exact path, you chosen, and everything There is sadness and laughter, regret and dreams, and it must be The road ahead is uncertain, confusion and fatigue will eventually drift away The body entangled by thorns will also be remembered in the heart, and it must be Falling down to the ground Wandering and swaying heart Wishing a childish wish The Last Blood Descendants Whose remains are buried at the end of the frenzy Reflects clearly upon the water's surface My wish, who can ever know Dreams depicted in the impermanent world The twin swords of memory The swaying faces Cutting off confusion Losting is coming Aquamarine is filled with slight light Endless Dawn Missing you alone Swaying and being swayed One's thoughts hang in the balance Like ephemeral bubbles down the river stream A hand will open up the path to tomorrow Being swayed, and swaying

English You are the ocean's gray waves, destined to seek Life beyond the shore just out of reach, Yet the waters ever change, flowing like time The path is yours to climb. In the white light, a hand reaches through; A double-edged blade cuts your heart in two Waking dreams fade away, Embrace the brand-new day. Sing with me a song of birthrights and love The light scatters to the sky above. Dawn breaks through the gloom, white as a bone Lost in thoughts all alone You are the ocean's gray waves, destined to seek Life beyond the shore just out of reach, Yet the waters ever change, flowing like time The path is yours to climb. Embrace the dark you call a home, Gaze upon an empty, white throne A legacy of lies, A familiar disguise. Sing with me a song of conquest and fate The black pillar cracks beneath its weight Night breaks through the day, hard as a stone Lost in thoughts all alone. The path you walk on belongs to destiny, just let it flow All of your joy and your pain will fall like the tide, let it flow. Life is not just filled with happiness, nor sorrow Even the thorn in your heart, in time it may become a rose. A burdened heart sinks into the ground A veil falls away without a sound Not day nor night, wrong nor right For truth and peace you fight. Sing with me a song of silence and blood The rain falls, but can't wash away the mud Within my ancient heart dwells madness and pride Can no one hear my cry? In endless dreams, countless realms collide, Hope falls only to rise like the changing tide But all dreams come to an end, Just whispers on the wind. Sing with me one last time, for light's sacrifice, Endless dawn came but not without a price, Lost in the waves there glimmers, a pale blue stone. I think of you, all alone. You are the ocean's gray waves, destined to seek Life beyond the shore just out of reach, Yet the waters ever change, flowing like time The path is yours to climb. You are the ocean's gray waves.

Trivia

• In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the game lists the origin game of the English version of "Lost in Thoughts All Alone" from Fire Emblem Fates (the game's localized name), and the origin game of the Japanese version from Fire Emblem if (the game's Japanese name); bizarrely, however, the latter is listed as the origin game of both remixes regardless of region, despite the localized name being different.
