    As a german who understands the lyrics I can tell you that the third line isn't quite translated correctly on the wiki. It's not asking "Do you have any doubt about that?", it's actually "Don't you have any doubts about that?" as in "All humans are born free? Don't you have any doubt about it? Because you should." It's a small detail but it does somewhat add a little meaning to it. Great reaction and breakdown as always though.

    It amazes me how he can tell us about the series and not just about the themes he gets from the soundtrack but about the plot, history, mindset of the people, and about the characters themselves too. I feel like I learn more about the series from this that I did from my first watch of it. Like the meaning of walls in the series and how it is shown in S1 vs S4, and how freedom is shown, interpreted, and (for me) changes as the seasons go on. I started watching AoT just because of the fact that it had a good soundtrack, that was all I knew of the series before sitting down and watching it but I never really took the time to understand the soundtrack. This just blows my mind. How can I think of specific points in the show after every lyric and know what they mean from both the context of the show and what different meanings the lyrics have without the context of the show.

      You can find so much meaning in an ost if it's done well. One thing that stayed consistent in Game of Thrones till the end was the intelligent use of music (Ramin Djawadi is great).
      In Attack on Titan it's the same, there's a meaning in words, images, music. Not just the music, but the use of the same music at different times. Hell, did you know it's not the same composer who writes for Eldia and for Marley?
      Also, spoilers for s4 (part 1 ofc):
      When Levi fights against Zeke, there's the use of 3 osts, one that refers to Kenny (it makes Levi embody the power and the legacy of the Ackermans, but also, if you listen to the lyrics, it fits very well for Levi in this particular moment: just doing what he knows best to do, and it's tragic), another ost refers to Erwin and more specifically Erwin's death (Levi's link and love for Erwin and the fulfillment of his promise he just thought about moments ago), and at last Zeke's scary theme but, if the scene starts with Zeke's ost, it's Levi's who plays when they fight, so you know very well who is going to win. What is sad is not that Levi might or might not win, what is sad is you know very well he is going to win and that's the tragedy, since he is doomed to be the only one left.
      Another example. When Sasha dies, her last words are very ambiguous. She says "niku", in Japanese, which can be translated as "meat", but it also very much sounds like "Nico", the one she loved (Nicolo). Actually, all her last words can be understood differently if you believe she said "Nico" at the end. In case you're wondering whether she said "meat" or "Nico", the song who plays is "Call your name".

      @@werewolf873 Yeah I think most of us are at the moment as we haven't heard any new announcements about what will happen after the final season. They for sure can't end it on episode 16 (chapter 116 out of 139 in total) and chapter 120 is my all time favorite in this show. I personally hope it will be a part two with a minimum of 10-12 episodes so they won't skip/cut out important plot points from the manga - which im assuming a movie will surely have to due to time constraints. Even though a movie would be stunning visually i'd rather have MAPPA make a second part personally:)

    It's great how this track provides a sense of scale for what humanity is facing. Humanity is nothing before the titans, and this track gives you the sense that something massive is approaching, and I can almost hear the footsteps just listening to this. It's pretty amazing how a good composer can use instruments to paint a picture in the mind of the listener.
    You should definitely check out music composed by Yuki Kajiura. She's just as amazing as Sawano Hiroyuki (the man that composed the tracks for Attack on Titan) but where his music is bombastic and in your face, Kajiura's music is more moody and atmospheric. You should look into tracks like Sis Puella Magica or Surgam Identidem.

    I like how you put up this song so high! I also like it way beyond so many soundtracks I could think of. It speaks so brilliantly about the whole series on the levels of instruments and lyrics. It has this extremely powerful moment where she sings very loud in the middle which gives goosebumps along with other parts of the song.
    The end of the song and lyrics is indeed so similar to a very important theme of the story. In the beginning of the final season the main character summarizes the whole situation of mankind as well, talking about people being forced into metaphorical hell against their will by others. But then he concludes that there are others who go into it by their own will. They see that there is something beyond this hell. If that is hope or another hell, we don't know. Only those who move forward know.
    That being said, there is surely to a great extend an element of the negative aspect of freedom you are talking about in the story where people take advantage of the situation and do everything they want. Yet because of the very threat of titans and enemies there is such a strict order within the military and the walls in general which is there to maintain order and protection. People have always felt safe with that. But this has always been a false peace for the main character. The freedom he desires lies beyond the walls. I think the walls are a literal element in the show but also a broader metaphor for the barrier between you and the unknown and chaos. If you don't explore the unknown, the chaos will get to you.
