I always love watching your analysis videos of the songs. This is one of my favorite songs of the series, especially at the lines "Just pray for mercy at your time of death. Be glad you existed, enjoy your last breath." I don't know why, but those lines always give me chills. I'm hyped to see what you'll say for the other songs, and especially for V6!
I like you

The song is from the perspective of both Raven and Cinder. That makes way more sense when you think about it. The song was oddly vague perspective-wise in the context of the fight. Both girls viewed each other in the same way.
For Raven's own feelings on death, she seems to be really afraid of it. Even if it was reluctant, she let Yang take the Relic of Knowledge because she was too afraid of the target it would paint on her back to carry it herself. As Yang pointed, for all of Raven's power she is still a coward. This is the same woman who saw there was a conflict being waged for the fate of the world, and as far as we can tell she ran away because she was too scared.
Exactly, there is some intentional (from the writers' perspective) hypocrisy in the lyrics. Raven is trying to say that death shouldn't be feared or hated in order to justify her own murders. But at the same time she doesn't want to face the fact that this philosophy presages the same end for her that she predicts for Cinder: dying alone and unremembered at the hands of someone even stronger than her.
I think this is meant to demonstrate the ongoing mental conflict in Raven's mind, which she will likely have to resolve at some point.
@@Wolfeson28 Well we already saw Raven was a hypocrite with how she called Qrow for abandoning their family of murderous bandits because he decided the rest of the world was more important, while by and large not caring about her own daughter. I find it an amazing feat that Volume 5 actually managed to make her into a sympathetic character.
@@soarel325 why do you call her birdbrain why not just type Raven it's shorter
@@soarel325 Newsfalsh: people CAN be hypocrites. I am not saying you're wrong. I am saying that the fact that the thoughts are hypocritical does not IN AND OF ITSELF PROVE ANYTHING
@@dragonstormx Raven does care about Yang, she just doesn't show it often. Raven in her raven form did visit Yang after she lost her arm.
Isn't all things must die a duet between cinder and raven talking back and forth? I think Casey said that it is.
She most certainly does, in this video here: ruclips.net/video/vNVxNUYYYR8/видео.html&t=25m13s And I'll take her and Jeff's word on it, since they write the songs and are in direct contact with M&K. Need I say more?
I thought it was mainly Cinder’s song. I mean if you listen to the first part of the song, that melody is the same one from Sacrifice and it was before we knew anything about Raven
Casey has stated in her video reacting to MurderOfBird’s reactions to the Volume 5 songs that All Things Must Die can be seen in the perspectives of BOTH Raven and Cinder
Kyle Lambert Yeah, I saw Casey’s video. I never said Raven didn’t have some part in the song. I mainly said that I see it as Cinder’s song. Why would Raven care about “Bloody Evolution” when she just cares about taking care of her tribe?
This is my second favourite song from Rwby
What's your favorite then?
Joshua Levasseur Bad luck charm you?
@@artdroid29 LMAO, no way same here
I just realised the mysterious figure in the Rwby Volume 6 intro with the sword was actually Cinder.
I like to think even if Cinder didn't die in Volume 5 that Volume 6 could essentially a rebirth of a different Cinder. Volume 5 is like the last we'll see of -THAT- Cinder while Volume 6 or whatever Volume she returns in could show us a completely different version of dear ol' Cinder, a recognition of flames so to speak.
"Bloody evolution" is a call back to "This Will be The Day"
The infinite matter is about everything in this world. Raven is telling cinder even if she gain theses powers. Something stronger, powerful and deadly will come soon. Once it does her own power will be taken away and she has nothing else to claim as her own. Showing that whats she's doing is a waste of time.
The song explains it's self.
I don't think there has ever been a more controversial song in the the rwby soundtrack!
@@sensei9767
Though the controversy is not what the song is about because the song is basically one person tell an other other "You lived your life, now it's time to die, I'm going to kill you, and accept your death". The controversy comes from what perspective the song is coming from and who its singing it to. Some believe is Raven to Cinder while others believe is Cinder to Raven. There is a few that believe it's Salem to Ozpin. However, Casey already confirm to be a duel between Cinder and Raven and it's a combination of Cinder's and Raven's leitmotifs. She confirm it on her reaction video to MurderOfBirds' volume 5 soundtrack reactions and on a twitter reply when some ask for help debunking someone.
@@TheDerpyDunsparce Understanding the perspective is part of understanding the song. Other perspectives will give the lines different meanings, plus there are a ton of cryptic sentences in this song. Understanding what the song is about doesn't mean you completely understand it. If you compare this song to the other songs EF has done so far, you'll see that there are a ton of songs which are far easier to understand than this one.
Love this song~ Great analysis.
I would definitely use this as a battle theme against someone like Cinder.
Yasss the analysis of the songs are back!
I thought the meaning of "Infinite matter will always evolve" was obvious? It's the first law of thermodynamics.
Matter/ energy (yes those are the same thing) are never truly created or destroyed, only transforming into something else.
In the context of this song this essentially means that Cinders matter will evolve into something new by ceasing to be 'Cinder' a.k.a. dying.
Explanation for Rising from the intro of volume 6?
Anybody?
too early, and the full song is not even out
@@Avghistorian77 Yeah well I know
Please do Triumph as you're next analysis. It's a really good intro song...
Songs sung by Raven seems to be the creepiest
Raven fear death for sure. Giving the relic of knowledge to yang (her daughter) it's the perfect example.
Raven is probably the strongest character in the show right now. And she is still afraid of Salem. That says a lot about Salem's powers and Raven's fears.
All things must die EXPLAINED!
everything is going to die.
Good job.
im late to the party but isnt it a thing when a raven or crow caws at you its like an omen?
Infinite matter.... maybey the relics or maiden powers?
Its been so long since his done you of these videos
Can you do an analysis on triumph opening 5 of rwby?
can you do a Bad Luck Charm EXPLAINED video plz am very interested
Yes another one of these video
Your my favorite rwby RUclipsr bc u look at the good and bad. And break it down. Overall the rwby RUclips community is trash BC all they do is nit pick every single little thing that's bad about the show. If its that trash then y even watch it ya know. Rwby has a lot of fuck ups. But I think it deserves credit where its due.
no one live forever
Do Bad Luck Charm
I still think Summer Rose and Ruby Rose are the same person! I will hold this stance till the show says differently!!
Can you do triumph
Heh...live on a farm
Finally
I think it was told by cinder
Can someone make a Cover of this song, *PLEASE?*
Tbh I don't think this really worls as a song
Second
"Here is where Cinder must die"
*sees the Volume 6 Poster* You had one Job Raven
Right? Shes all but revealed in the intro too.
The hooded figure with feminine features, wrapped left arm that looks like claws, same fighting style when shown with the sword fighting briefly. The poster just confirms what I thought when I saw the intro when it released as a teaser
SolarisKnight or it could be neo
@@venomsigintarma9444 or it's cinders step sister
Calm down she's gonna make sure Cinder dies, even if she needs help
SolarisKnight Ikr! 😂😂😂
Darkest song in Rwby... well, among multiple
Red Like Roses II is pretty dark
Sacrifice,divide.
_W h e n I t f a l l s?_
Casey confirmed that it is a duet
When?
So it's both then singing my head cannot just got blown up
@@thebeavpercabethftw9604 Soooo, some random guy on youtube thinks the singer of the song, who is also the daughter of the writer, is wrong about the song? Wow... pretty sure that accurately shows the idiocy found in the YT RWBY community.
@@thebeavpercabethftw9604 Oh right... that guy. Yeah, I heard about him and watched a single video then disproved many of his points in said video and had him reply and offer nothing new to it. I didn't watch anything else after that. I did see quite a few comments on Flynt's lyric video of All Things Must Die where everyone, after realising that it was a duet, were talking about how pissed Soarel was going to be.
Soarel your right
Personally, I always thought this was about Cinder's perspective on the world. But then, that's probably just me.
gordhanx Same here, it would be better honestly and give depth to cinder’s character.
I thought it was from Salem actually. Since she is apparently immortal she knows that everything dies, and the sentiment of just giving up and accepting it kind of sounds like what she was talking about in V1E1 about how their will be no victory through strength. Granted I didn't remember what episode the song came out in, and Raven does make a lot of sense as a narrator as well.
Casey says it's both Cinder and Raven.
you right, they have literally been playing an instrumental version of this song exclusively around Cinder since Volume 2, including her fight against Pyrrha
gordhanx It doesn’t matter what anyone says about who the song is about, if you get the feeling that it’s from Cinder that that’s fine. No one should say otherwise unless you’re claiming it’s fact.
Are you going to cover the vol 6 intro it already has a million views and hit 2 trending.
Raven: "Every thing must die"
Salem: "That's were your wrong kiddo"
Even though I enjoy a lot of your song analyses, I fear that in this instance, you missed the mark. The song is definitely not Raven's rebuttal to Cinder as she's beating her like a redheaded stepchild, it's the two of them rebutting each other as they beating on one another. Many of the lines apply more to Cinder, who wants to destroy everything (and we still don't know why). while others apply more to Raven, who simply wants to survive and finds Cinder's lust for power meaningless.
Take the second verse, for example:
"This is the end,
Here's where you'll die,
Legends should scatter,
So just say goodbye.
*No one will miss you*
*When you're fin'lly gone,*
*At your conclusion*
*Sing your swan song.* "
The first four lines are definitely Cinder, who proclaims Raven will die along with all the old legends. Whereas in the next four, Raven rebuts by saying Cinder's attempts at immortalizing herself will come to nothing and she'll end up dead and forgotten.
The next two lines are definitely Raven, as shown:
" *Murder, Unkindness, Conspiracy,*
*Embers extinguished in effigy.* "
The second and third words describe a group of ravens. Or, in another case, all three words describe Raven herself: she's a mass murderer, she's not kind to her children, and will conspire with devils just to survive.
The next line is also self-explanatory. Ember, another word for Cinder, is extinguished when Raven turns her into a frozen effigy, which happens at the end of their fight.
" *Just close your eyes,*
*Don't fear demise.*
Black out the sky,
All things must die."
The first half is a callback to Sacrifice "Close your eyes now, count for dreams, death is never what it seems." And that's more Raven's song, who strives to resist Ozpin's machinations, than Cinder's, who simply wants to destroy everything and cover the world in darkness. Said desire is expressed in the next two lines, which are also self-explanatory.
Anyway, not to rain on your parade, EruptionFang, but I thought I'd give examples as to why I found your analysis inaccurate. Not a personal attack by any means. Anyway, take care, and looking forward to you analyzing more songs. :D
I wonder if Raven even if its only by old age will think the way Esdeath did in Akame ga Kill. When Esdeath was dying she told herself that it was cos she was weak; even said the same about Tatsumi who she loved. So I wonder if for in any circumstance Raven nearly or does die(hoping not, hoping not, hoping not) that she'll think to herself that it was only cos she was too weak to keep herself alive
Also this song seems more towards being about Cinder seeing as Raven has the deep rooted philosophy of 'The STRONG LIVE, the WEAK DIE' meaning she believes all the strong beings on this earth deserve their place in life because they were able to survive, whereas this song is more saying that everything should die, whether its eventual or sudden because of someones elses hand, it SHOULD and WILL die. Seems like something Cinder would want really
Accept that it is a fact that all things have to die. Mortality is a fundamental part of life.
To me it always came across as Raven telling Cinder that her time has come and that there is no point on struggling against her inevitable demise out of some delusion of invincibility.
But that's just my own personal interpretation.
You can her defeat to Raven was Cinder's
*Downfall*
GODDAMNIT BARB!!!! Lol
Boom🔥
This just makes me want to see an episode or two of team STRQ in the beginning and maybe the end. I mean, they are literally a family
Do you think that real piece won’t be obtained until Salem, Ozpin, the Maidens and Relics are no longer around? There aspects of the past that won’t stay in the past.
Everything dies. You, me. Everyone on this planet. Our sun. Our galaxy. And, eventually, the universe itself. This is simply how things are. It's inevitable. And I accept it.
You know, I wonder what will happen when the universe does die. Will our souls be floating forever and we’ll never have life again, or will there be a new universe that we are then born into? A new dimension on the other side of a black hole? Maybe eternal darkness and no more feelings or life. I’m curious if the world and beyond.
@@moonssalad5128 I got you a better one. Really? *NO ONE UNDERSTOOD THIS REFERENCE?* No one? Come on!
sorry bro! I'm not good with references :/
"You ever wonder why we're here?"
@@kveethakid RvB and no. It had nothing to do with the reference I made.
I mostly interpreted this song as Raven trying to justify all of the bad things that she's done over her lifetime. I could see this as being directed not just at Cinder, but at all of the people Raven has killed: the previous Spring Maiden, the villagers she's attacked, undoubtedly others we don't know about, maybe even Summer Rose (this last one is my own speculation). It's a message along the lines of "I'm not really doing anything bad, I'm just doing what the world would eventually do anyway. Don't hate me for killing you, be happy you got to live this long." It also extends to her actions such as abandoning Tai and Yang, and (as we understand it right now) breaking up team STRQ. Once again, she's presenting this dissolution of bonds between people as simply the natural order of the world, and trying to absolve herself of any responsibility for the actions that precipitated it.
At the same time, you're right that many of the messages from the song's lyrics can easily reflect right back onto Raven. I think that represents the fact that Raven understands that the natural extension of her philosophy is that she will inevitably die, alone and unremembered, at the hands of someone stronger. She knows this in the back of her mind, but isn't willing to face that unpleasant fact yet. And this also sets the stage for Raven fleeing and allowing Yang to take the Relic of Knowledge during the next episode. Clearly, despite Raven's assertions in the song that death is a natural part of life and shouldn't be feared, she does fear death herself and wants to keep it at bay in any way she can.
A thought I’ve had: what if the grim are the embodiment of fear and other negative emotions from those that have died with regrets? We know the grim are attracted to negative emotions. What if humans/fanus can be modified by Salem into half-grim hybrids through their negative emotions? That might be what happens to Adam in exchange for power when he decides to go and ask Salem for help.
DUDE!? r/agedlikewine
Raven in this moment was just amazing, and this song is a perfect match for her character. RWBY may have had it rough with story telling in Volume 5 but let's be real they have yet to make a bad song. #GoCaseyAndJeff
I don’t really think so casey said it’s from both raven and cinders perspective
I may be wrong I thought Casey or someone important in the music of RWBY said it was for both of them...
She did
I do not understand whhy people think this is Raven's song and not Cinders, this song is clearly about Cinder, and they have literally been playing an instrumental version of this song exclusively around Cinder since Volume 2, including her fight against Pyrrha
It's a combination of the two's themes as leitmotifs of both come through. And the lyrics could be from either's perspective. Like "Murder, unkindness, conspiracy" Could be Cinder's crimes, or what a group of ravens is called.
@@soarel325 o dam, das a Soarel
Can you analyse the volume 6 intro?
these videos are SO INTERESTING and i could watch them for HOURS your thoughts about the songs are so in depth and I look forward to the next song analysis being posted!!
what is the piano track in the background?
analysis of the return of neo in volume 6 in next video question mark?
3:36. Its kinda funny what you said, "...she can put on a good show, because it'll be her last", is actually kinda related to the line, "sing your swan song". This is because the line goes back to an ancient belief that when a swan dies, it sings a beautiful song, despite remaining silent for most of their lives.
Just a fun little bit of info i thought I'd share
I have a request? can u please do path to isolation it’s one of my favorites and if not maybe I’m the one to please?
I honestly wonder what is Raven's definition of strong.
Isn’t the main motif of this song Cinders motif? It is played during Pyrah vs Cinder in volume 3.
I like these videos you make OwO
I agree about half of what you said about Raven and at first I thought it was a Cinder song with a bit of Raven.
Not anymore, Casey did a reaction video of Arnold's reaction to the volume 5 reaction.
She said when he was listening and said his thoughts, she said " it's both Raven and Cinder thoughts. They both thought you the one going down.
But overall I still like all of your videos you make Cole UwU keep moving forward and work smarter not harder.
3:39 every time 'unkindness' play's I hear 'a carnage'.
Y Did *THIS* Didnt Become The Next *MUST DIE!!!* To Edgy? Also, Raven Was Right... I WONT Miss Cinder
So that mean, Sacrifice and All things must die perspective of Raven? Not Cinder?
King Raplh Mativo I mean it played at the end of volume 2 where raven showed up in post credit scene that was Rat-coned
@@rjdavis9809 Cinder's fanboys couldn't accept this.
If you say my feeding will destroy the cosmos, then that is what I'll do. If you say I shall pull the threads of time till they break, then I shall pull! I am your Timewyrm!
Soarel I wasn't. I was referencing Timewyrm Revelation. Best book in the range from what I've read so far. Just finished Cat's Cradle Warhead.
Please do a song analysis of I'm The One please please please!
I'd love to see what he says to that
Love this song, think you could do Triumph next time
One reason I believe Raven and Cinder are singing this to each other is the line "infinite matter will always evolve " . It only makes sence for Cinder to say all things must and will die but she will survive threw some means in some sence . Weather it be a maidens reincarnation or the constantly evolving physique and intelligence( for lack of a better word )of Grimm . Now I will admit this does sound closer to Raven philosophy of the strong suviving but closer to Cinder's character her relationship with the Grimm and they along with the power she desires means to her . but I could be wrong though honstly if almost every second stanza of the song just sounds like Cinders to me .
I also forgot this was confirmed by Casey to be from both perspectives
Seriously. How did you not get "welcome to a world of new solution, welcome to a world of BLOODY EVOLUTION". same words, different context...
Am I the only who really likes raven's character?
I like the little reference to Qrow in this song.
This little bit...
"Murder
Unkindness
Conspiracy."
Particularly, Murder. A group of crows is sometimes called a Murder, so it's a nice touch.
The wiki says that All Things Must Die is from the perspective of both Raven and Cinder, it combines their themes. Overall, great video as always. I always enjoy the song meaning videos (don't know how to word it). I mean Casey said that it's a combination of both of them (Raven and Cinder) on her channel when reacting to MurdererofBirds' livestream of the volume 5 soundtrack and that the lyrics are implied to be both of them. But! Great video!
My questions is...Since Raven killed Cinder, is it possible that now she has both fall and spring maiden powers? If not, who'd the powers go to? If anyone...is Cinder alive? (doubtful)
Raven seems like the type of woman that will tell Death to take up its weapon because she isn’t going down without a fight.
One of my favourite songs next to Divide and Sacrifice and many others.
All things must die
Except for my Waifus who are not Pyrrha
I'm on team saleam so yeah all things must die a brutal death
It doesn't fit that well, but when thinking of an infinite amount of matter evolving, entropy comes to mind. Entropy is the property of systems of matter and energy to move from their current level of complexity to the less complex. On an infinite (universal) scale, entropy will eventually lead to a universe's energy death. This is when all energy (and with our current understanding all mass, by proxy of it being energy) will be equally spread across the universe. Without any locations of higher energy, nothing can significantly move or take from, and the universe will be dead.
The whole time I was watching this is started singing lol
Can u make an explanation for Neo’s Song, Retribution once it fully comes out? I feel like it would have a good explanation for it!
Think it’s about Salem telling ruby about her final plan during their final battle at some point. Close your eyes, wich are silver. If the legends scatter she will win.
It might actually be Cinder's perspective directed towards Raven. Or even better, both!
All that matters next?
@@jonjohns8145 I wanna see how he explains it
the line "Bloody Evolution" is also referenced in Season 1's "This will be the day" song :thinking: wonder if there is any connection?
LEGEEENDSSS NEEEVEEEER DIIIEEEEEEE!
Perhaps "infinite matter will always evolve" refers to existance beyound a person. Like, as far as we are lead to comprehend the universe existed before our births and will continue after. We can't put an exact point to its begining or final points, so it is also assumed that it will change as it did during a person's life when all connections and thoughts disapear.
uhm i know this is a dumb question but since i still don't know the answer to this, cinder is the recent fall maiden right ? so if she really is dead or surely she is not yet dead, won't the power of fall maiden will also transfer to raven ? since she is in her last thoughts..? maybe it doesn't concern raven if cinder is really dead or not and maybe that flaw of maiden power transfer story will conclude that she really isn't dead
Now that I think about it, the,aim ememy in RWBY is fear, people turn sides and betray allies due to the fear of salem. If it was known to all that she is inmortal imagine the panic it will bring, to know that you have no hope means defeat even before the fight. At least with false hope you can walk forward and fight rather than cowar and await anihilation.
0:52 Yeah... Weiss and size... sure. (sorry, it just came to me and I couldn't let go) great vid tho
There are multiple moments in the scores from volumes 1-4 where you hear bits that are eerily familiar to all things must die and i really love that
Also
“-from when you die” *shows Pyrrha* ..why you tryin to hurt me man
I low key thought it was Cinder’s theme, it plays whenever she’s having an evil look at the camera and smirk moment
"Life is just a journey
Yours is near its end
*Bloody evolution*
This world transcend"
-All things must die, Volume 5
"This will be the day we've waited for
This will be the day we open up the door
I don't want to hear your absolution
Hope you're ready for a revolution
Welcome to a world of new solutions
*Welcome to a world of bloody evolution* "
-This Will Be The Day, Volume 1
I LIVE for old phrases being reused/referenced in recent songs - from earlier songs, or the colour trailers, or just monologues...
Also: "Legends - stories scattered through time" from Salem's opening monologue and "Legends should scatter" in this song
There's also "Legends and fairy tales scattered through time" in divide.
death is not the one certain thing that will come from life,
There's also;
*TAXES!!*
Does anyone know what song he uses when he's explaining the lyrics? It's been stuck in my head forever
Can you do ignite next
Question if huntsmen have aura which can act as armor why do they still wear armor
Because once their aura breaks, what then? At least they'll still have their armor in that case, and they'll need it in that situation.
@@Radley1982 true
but these guy can cut through robot like butter
Can you put in the link to the red background with the actual Ravens?
That would be awesome
This song doesnt need to be explained. None of volume 5 songs need that, cause they dont tell us anything we dont know.
Her song isnt actually in the volume, its in the trailer. Also, we didnt learn anything new, even in the full song.
Sure.
