- Official Lyrics:
The unenlightened masses
They cannot make the judgement call
Give up free will forever their voices won't be heard at all
Display obedience
While never stepping out of line
And blindly swear allegiance
Let your country control your mind
(Let your country control your soul)
Live in ignorance
And purchase your happiness
When blood and sweat is the real cost
Thinking ceases, the truth is lost
Don't you worry
You'll be told exactly what to do
I give my people the lives they need
The righteous will succeed
The fires of greed will burn the weak
So we'll make freedom obsolete
Making whole the fabric of society
Collective consciousness controlled as you will see
MIND CONTROL
Let your country control your soul
Let your country control your soul
Let your country control your soul
Let your country control your soul

A lot of people don't seem to realize - this isn't Armstrong's theme. It's more or less the theme of the Patriots from MGS. The lyrics describe everything Armstrong hates about the world and wants to burn down.
It's theme how Armstrong sees USA
@@leatherhoff45 that's what I like about these songs, there are multiple interpretations for almost all of them
Armstrong wants to be the next iteration of the Patriots. He loved them, he was ecstatic to claim that everyone post-SOP was the "Sons of the Patriots".
So here's my interpretation:
First-
This is Armstrong's battle theme. His ONLY theme. He touts the Patriots' ideals on the surface, but his actual philosophy is dangerously anarchic. Metal Gear Excelsus isn't even an actual Metal Gear, both the machine and the song being symbolic of the front Armstrong puts up over his twisted psyche.
Second-
While plenty of people will tell you that "It Has To Be This Way" is actually Raiden's theme, I disagree. Raiden's theme is "The Only Thing I Know For Real." The lyrics fit perfectly with Raiden's crisis of identity, calling out his Jack the Ripper persona and his history of constant conflict, as well as his own mixed feelings about participating in the military industrial complex. Despite his absolutely massive onscreen presence, Armstrong is barely even in the game. The fight the game starts hyping up from the very beginning is with Jetstream Sam, and he is very much Raiden's perfect villain, both gameplay and story-wise. If you assume that Sam is Raiden's "final boss," it makes perfect sense for Raiden's theme to be the one playing. And that's the thing; I don't think that Armstrong is Raiden's final boss.
Third-
MGRR is a game about memes in the classical sense; self-propogating ideas that spread between people who make an impression on one another. Raiden meets Jetstream Sam at a point in his life where Sam can't carry his own ideals any further, stifled by Armstrong's power and ambition. In his final hours though he realizes that those ideals don't have to remain stagnant; that perhaps Raiden can see them out to their conclusion. "It Has To Be This Way" is symbolic of Sam's realization that for his ideals to be fulfilled, he must pass them on to someone capable of carrying them further than he could. Someone like him, but stronger. Whichever is the singer and the subject, "It has To Be This Way is clearly about Raiden and Sam, and Raiden brings Sam's memes into the Armstrong fight in full force, opening up with Sam's iconic "Let's dance!" Raiden didn't just carry Sam's sword into that fight; he carried his f*cking theme music.
In my opinion this theme represents the idea that Raiden has of Armstrong.
"Stand your ground. Fight like a man!"
Bold words coming from someone fighting inside a Metal Gear
*steven then comes out of the fucking robot and kicks ass with nanomachines, son.*
He was trying to spare Revengeance S rank runners the pain of meeting him in person
Are you SURE you wanna fight him hand to hand?

This game can put forward an actual political statement and immediately follow it up with cyborg ninjas swordfighting each other
And then make a statement with just a song in the background of said cyborg ninja's swordfighting
First it makes a point about uncontrolled anarcho-capitalism and then there's a long cutscene of a metahuman cyborg ninja getting the shit kicked out of him by a politician.
Both memes and Twitter are plotpoints
yeah and it's fucking awesome
MGR is the best Anime video game I have ever played lmao, the only thing that rivals it is maybe like DMC 5.
I think "Collective Consciousness" is how Raiden sees Armstrong's plan at the start of the fight, until the "You're batshit insane!" part, after which his view upon it is explained by "It Has To Be This Way" as he realizes the latter's intentions are good, but his plan is an utterly insane way of realizing it, so he has to stop Armstrong.
I agree with you
@@diegogrunt6758 Damn, no one on internet ever said that to me, thank you
@@VERGILGASM your welcome? I think?
It Has To Be This Way was a representation of Armstrong's regret on fighting a man like him. A man like Raiden. Its clear with the lyrics- "I carved my own path, you followed your wrath". Raiden worked with wrath, Armstrong carved his own path. And Collective Consciousness is literally how Armstrong sees modern day world. People who just lie back and purchase their happiness while the government does the work for them and also tells them what to do. Armstrong believes the world where government works for them and tells them what to do, is utter garbage. His ideology is free will and a free place where only the strong capable ones live, and the other ignorant, 'weak' parts of the society will be drowned in blood.
@@masterchief1-1-74 this is more like it, to be honest, boss themes describe the boss itself, not what Raiden thinks about them. This one doesn't really have to be any different, especially considering the way Armstrong describes society
I just in love how this song tells about society problems, not some personal things, like Mistral's or Sundowner's theme.
That's why I love this soundtrack.

It's ironic, since really, we, the players, are the "unenlightened masses." The whole game plays at this concept that media can be used to easily control people by making them feel a certain way about something while also being able to censor the truth with little to no effort.
"Live in ignorance and purchase your happiness."
so deep, man, literally just like Fight Club, when Tyler Durden delivered his profound, insightful, ground shaking, enlightening critiques on consumerism.
oh and USA are neoliberal fascists too. And Collective consciousness is considered commie..... Collective leaves you alone with thoughts
The Boss Theme: "The subjugation of society by mass commercialization of everyday life; Paired with the illusion of alleviating personal responsibility, will ultimately become mankind's curse, as humans will stop thinking for themselves due to the pressures that corporations and governments have forced upon them of serving the economy and "contributing to society". These pressures are enforced to fuel the corporation's own goals without regard for the weak, and the world will slow to a market-ruled crawl with the burning fires of greed becoming the only existing God for humanity, no matter how little they want to admit it."

Mistral: She fights because she wants to have a purpose, even if it is a wrong one.
Monsoon: He fights because only by fighting he feels something different to despair and emptiness.
Sundowner: He fights because he loves the chaos and thrill of the fight.
Sam: He fights because he wants to find someone better than him to fulfill his mission.
MG Excelsus: It is used to fight to expand the memes of the patriots.
Armstrong: He fights because he believes only by destroying everything can a new society raise.
Khamsin: He fights because he is a soldier and they are made to fight.

@@aninstrument2803 don’t blindly swear allegiance don’t let your country control your mind
If you listen real close from 1:10 ish, you can hear a voice crying out “no,” as if they’re screaming for help, or are trying to resist, and halfway through the line “I give my people the lives they need,” the voices are gone. What’s more, although the voice sounds like it’s screaming, it’s rather faint, and flushed out by the main lyrics.
Symbolism: Armstrong has only payed attention to one of two sides of the so called “weak.” Those two sides being the incompetent, and the incapable. The former being the only side Armstrong considers, and is actively trying to rid of in order to fulfill his ambitions for a new America, however, the process will kill many poor souls who are unable to fight back, and it only took one man who saw the other side to stop him.
God, I love this song.
Damn I thought that was just an echo because there are so many in this song, battle against a 300 foot spider mech got philosophical
This song is a duet between Armstrong and Raiden one side of the song Armstrongs side is talking about oppression and his plan of destroying the “weak” Raidens side is talking about fighting the system with lyrics like “when blood and sweat is the real cost thinking ceases the truth is lost”

Commenters on this soundtrack be like: “Communist China moment.” when it’s supposed to be directly related to modern American mass consumerism and the mainstream media propaganda machine.

@@suspectnutria The next line after "fires of greed" makes whoever's singing seem less American and more Communist, because a direct reaction to the fires of greed is "making freedom obsolete". They're trying to prevent the fires of greed from burning the weak by getting rid of the freedom to be greedy.

@@KashKey- Lmfao
Beta version of the line went way harder. "The fires of greed will burn the weak, the human heart is obselete."
I assume the reason they changed it is that it makes the reveal about Armstrong hit very, very differently. Making the song that's supposed to be about the bullshit Armstrong doesn't actually believe in bring up human hearts is... well, sends the wrong message, you know.
@@TheShinyFeraligatr I would unironicaly like this line more, but knowing that people would have the whole point of Armstrong fly over their heads without this, I do agree the current original is better.
However, the desire for the freedom to do everything that doesn't involve hurting others and fighting back when necessary, simply IS the human heart. No reasonable person wants to put themselves in such shoes of ruling over others and hurting them. We only have to, in order to prevent others from doing things that kill peaceful freedom.
“In this battle against Microsoft Excel we are faced by a boss too large to be fun and are relegated to enduring his onslaught from the inside of the forever box.”
This is a basic case of "Wait for him to do anything" just like Congress.
And like Congress, when he actually does something, it usually hurts you.
Fortunately, this music is excellent and fits one to one with All I Want For Christmas.

This song feels very poignant and relevant with today's news.
which of the news today 8 days ago? history is multiplicitous and so are the news.
MGR addresses the problems at the very core of human society.
Losing meaning in the sea of opinions and loosing the ability to make your own decisions and form your own thoughts is almost the sole reason society fails.
It has always been, and forever will be how it is if we do nothing about it.
"Let your country control your soul." Sounds super badass to listen to in this song.
I swear, a century from now, people will be talking about the great Japanese philosopher, Hideo Kojima, and they'll actually be serious.
to be fair, anyone with an ideology and a way of life can be considered a philosopher. A Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius is considered a philosopher
@@didao924 Probably because Aurelianism is an actual philosophy?
Kojima's philosophy is effectively an Psuedo-Libertarian Pacifism.
Philosopher or not, his works like metal gear often goes together with philosophical stand points and ideologies, and how each individual manifests their ideology through memes and action in the real world.
I could even say that he constantly using the word “memes” outside of the current more well known meaning as internet jokes, and instead applying the original theory of memes in his games made me get curious about the book “the selfish gene”.
Yea, that will be fun to see
This song has aged well. TOO well...
How so?
@@B3N_RUclips I guess we would have to look at the current world events and trends for that. Governments that effectively control a nation can end up adversely affecting its citizens should it ever become tyrannical or abuse its power for different reasons. One of the biggest impact being loss of freedom. People have growing sentiments regarding the inefficiency of governments, not as in structurally, but rather how they CHOOSE to operate. While this isn't the case for all countries, it's something that is brought up for governments like China, USSR and now even US.
"live in ignorance and purchase your happiness" - I think this line just relates to most people in general. Whether it is just the process of growing up, or just having to tackle with preexisting responsibilities and tasks, people rarely ever have the time to truly 'think' about other things in life, because they are fixated in increasing their own living standards to a level which they can be satisfied with. Everyone has their own struggles and issues, and often times, we are so engrossed in tackling them that we become 'ignorant' of other things.
Not to mention, the world has been becoming increasingly materialistic, with people chasing after wealth and fame in order to acquire happiness, at times, at the cost of their own will or their own interests and hobbies. We think that acquiring money will erase all our sadness and grant us happiness so that's what we strive for.
"The fires of greed will burn the weak" - this is something people have been observing whether it would be on a large scale corporate level or a smaller scale of humans just being humans and focusing on satiating their greed rather than maintaining TRUE, non-superficial, good relationships with others.
This song, coupled with peoples' growing cynicism in the direction to which society seems to be going, makes it a fitting song for our times and the sentiments that we express for it.

The part where Raiden flips the Metal Gear Excelsus over, swinging it by one of its legs is engrained in my brain as one of the most badass things I’ve ever seen in a video game.
People discussing whether this song criticizes capitalism, communism, totalitarianism or the democratic system is proof that this song tells the truth
Sell your soul and give up free will, be influenced, live in ignorance and discuss such trivial things, any state only benefits from your ignorance and the bubbles of social and ideological standards that you participate in, be limited, repeat everything you you hear and reject everything slightly different
No matter your side, you signed a deal with the devil a long time ago, and you only reinforce that by choosing an ideology you don't even believe in, fighting wars you don't even understand, supporting companies and countries, not your own causes.
"Have you ever tried to fight for what you believe in? Not a company or a nation."
"In my new America everyone will be free to fight their own wars, everyone will be free to fight for what they believe in, not for money, not for oil, not for what they are told is right."
"I fight for myself, for what I believe in, you fight because you have to."

+XillyWonka Actually if you payed attention in game you would know that Excelsus is not a Metal Gear
LodeStarDan I know, Metal Gears are nuclear weapons, and as such, Excelsus is techincally not a MG, but the game calls it, as well as RAY, a MG, so idk

Once again, this song hits very close to home, especially with what’s going on right now.

its incredible how a song from a videogame describes our society so well, and it plays when fighting against a senator inside a metal gear who also has nanomachines, thats so badass
Revengeance was revived through memes. Which, fittingly, is one of its crucial plot points -- if you meme something well enough, it won't ever die. Be it a game, a photo... or a war.
Also, this song unironically provides the best synopsis of fascism out of all analyses I've heard.

Well played here: That "Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance" seems like a *big criticism towards the American society 🇺🇲 as whole* ... And then, the game was set in *2018 AD.* (Which in the real life back then, US was during the *2nd year of the über-controversial Administration era of 45th US President Donald Trump* at the time...)
So then, it seems that "Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance" is now feels relevant *9 years later on* , especially during *this pandemic 😷 situation as well the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War 🇷🇺🇺🇦 these times* ...😔

I just heard two Songs from this game because a good friend suggested them and both of them are nice. They are absolute masterpieces!
All songs from this game are great, check them out.
This song represents what Raiden thinks Armstrong is, just another "typical politician" who wants to brainwash the people. But after Armstrong reveals his true principals the song "it has to be this way" is Raiden realizing that he has a point and actually agrees with him to an extent.
More like how Armstrong sees USA
all the other boss themes are the thoughts of the bosses you are fighting, why would this one be raiden's thoughts?
@@mega_gamer93 Read the lyrics
@Mega Gamer93 if you understand Armstrong's true ideas, which he exposes in his I have a Dream speech, this is not what he thinks.
@@Kriegter but this song plays in Sam DLC
Whatever political nonsense you believe in, no matter what party you chose to align with, we can all agree on one thing.
If the final battle of America isn't fought with laser swords, robo exosuits, and epic rock, this entire nation wasn't worth it.

There was a comment made by someone named NcX, i don't seem to find it anymore but i Ctrl+C it and here it is:
"Behind the awesome beat, there's an important message in this song:
In order for order to exist, there has to be a certain level of unity, and that is how conformity is unfortunately born. Even when marked with the best of intentions, once we surrender ourselves to a certain path without thinking about every step we take, we lose the truth.
Liberal or conservative, it doesn't matter. The only way to protect the truth is to constantly test and evaluate our beliefs, and challenge them against other points of view"

It's not Armstrongs ideal society.
It's a point that's easy to get confused on, because of Armstrongs personally and presentation. He doesn't care if Raiden thinks this is what he's after... at least at first. Later on, if you pay attention to his dialogue, he makes a switch. The Jetstream DLC goes even further in confirming this.
The collective consciousness is already happening in the Metal Gear universe. The point Armstrong was making was that the patriots were gone... and it no longer mattered. Their machinations had become so embedded in society that the world was caught in an endless spiral of death, the war economy. It is now self-perpetuating. It's not going away. The world is now one where "Men die for reasons they don't understand and causes they don't believe in." Every aspect of human existence is feeding the machine.
Armstrongs goal was to use the war economy, to work within it's structure to amass power... and then use that power to nuke the entire system. His goal was to return things to zero so that the world could, essentially, reboot itself.
It's also worth noting that, in the end, Raiden *agreed* with the Senator. Not with his extreme methods, but with the idea that the world was horribly wrong, and something needed to be done about it. And thus begins Raiden's own personal war against the system.
Ultimately, Raiden's battle with Armstrong and Desperado Inc was what opened his eyes to how screwed up the world is, and he goes on to continue Armstrongs fight, just as the Senator died believing he would.
great reviews. Raiden not continue the fight Armstrongs, rather yours. While Raiden agreed with the ideal of Armstrongs, not with the way this fight. Raiden killing Armstrongs thought was going to end it all but it was not, there is where the end of Revenge Rising. Radien continue but this time alone. I look forward to the sequel with the production and script Kojima. regards
Speak up and use Spanish Translate to talk to you. Sorry for grammatical errors.
Freddy P. Andia u wot m8?
TewiInaba Chan What I made of it: Raiden didn't want to continue Armstrong's war, he wanted people to fight their own wars. While he agreed with Armstrong's ideals, he did not agree with the method of achieving them. Raiden thought he could stop all the fighting by killing Armstrong, but it did nothing; hence the ending of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. Raiden continues to fight his own fight now. I look forward to the sequel if the script and production is handled by Kojima.

The way "the unenlightened masses" goes so hard to me is the main reason I like these songs. There's an elegant brutality to the metal that just hypes while it coerses the esence of hype
This song represents what Raiden thinks Armstrong is before he gives his epic speech.
that makes a lot of sense tho
I would say it represent what both Armstrong and Raiden think of the "system" as a whole, because after all they both depise it for the same reasons but they have different ways of on how they want to "fix it".
This game is honestly amazing about the subtle little things.
"THE RUSSIANS WILL SEXY"
Argument 1: "Excelsius is an Ant"
Argument 2: "Excelsius is a Crab"
Argument 3: "Excelsius is a Spider"
Me: *"ALRIGHT LEMME EDUCATE YOU."*
Excelsius' frontal limbs are raptorial, due to their blade nature. they can also coil back in to take up lass space. Combined with the Cenutar-Esque Shape of Excelsius, I'd personally like to say that Excelsius is shaped like a *Mantis...* However, there's one problem with that: In total, Excelsius has Eight limbs.
Thus, because no Shelled creature both possesses four sets of limbs, whilst also having a discernable mantis shape, Excelsius is basically a Spider-Mantis... With Plasma cannons strapped to its head. Armstrong was right when he said the ride was "Worth every Penny", but you can't have good Stonks if a Cyborg chin boi Suplexes it repeatedly, removes one of the raptorial blades to swing it around like it's a regular sword, and dodges every single goddamn attack you attempt. Poor Excelsius, at least it went out in style.
Sounds like it could be a tailless whip scorpion

That could definitely work, and if they added the tail it’d actually be a great counterweight.

I genuinely believe this song applies for more to modern America than most people would care to admit. what with the higher up rich business men and politicians dividing the general population with things like identity politics and radical movements on both sides. All so they can sit on top and watch the populous tear ourselves apart to make us easier to manage. The people can't actually force you to make any real changes if we're to busy trying to kill each other.
They have a puppet as a president in Ukraine controlled by the USA.
