Little known fact, the hardest part about this production was actually getting good footage of Millia winning in online matches. They actually had to hack the game to map her animations onto Chipp to get anywhere. Ask my uncle, he works at Nintendo, lol.
The song is about Millia coming to terms with her awful past sins and learning to carry on loving herself despite her "ugliness". In the games she used to work as a mercenary.
This really hits the nail on the head. The song starts off super fast and aggressive, and then it slows a bit as it goes into her inner thoughts on how she hates what she does but has learned to accept and embrace that she's a killer. So she can barely stand to look at herself, but also, she's forced to be able to face herself to keep going. So how do we look? (growly monster voice) THE BEES KEES!!!
@@dracocrusher I think it also has to do with the fact that the "normal life" she so desperately wants for herself is simply unattainable in the capacity she wants it. "I swept you off your feet / She told me / We know deep down there's no way", "Throwing rocks into the lake / The bees knees / How do we look? / Let down." She's coming to terms with her role as the leader of the Post-War Administration Bureau and that it's at odds with the "sweet dream" of a normal life. I think the high-octane instrumentals just complements her playstyle. I think JayRoro described it best as "relentless."
Guilty gears newest character theme song is really thrashy if thats your style. Testaments theme song (the character) is probably my favorite song from the game
To be honest, most people playing the games don't know what's going on with the lyrics, the music director (which is also the game's Director, lead designer and story writer) is Japanese so we believe that some meaning is lost in the translation, maybe he thinks he's saying something but it has different meaning in English, it's easy once you know the character story to extract a meaning from the song in general but some specific parts still make no sense.
Nothing's lost in translation. The subject matter of the songs are that profound and require extensive critical analysis to glean past the superficial interpretation of a song's or the phrase sung's meaning to get to the true moral being expressed in the lyrics.
There is a character named Zato-1, Millia's lover, who, by the time Guilty Gear the series happens, gets amnesia & has no memories of there time together. They also happen to work together but Millia always tries to keep Zato close hoping he gets his memories back so they can be together proper again. (Hell at one point he dies & is possessed but he gets revived in one of the games.) If you go and listen to Zato-1's theme which I recommend, it feels like a companion piece to this song.
the bees knees!
This whole time I thought it was "nothing stays", so that was fun
The absolute most high energy, scream driven and rock hard *THE BEES KNEES* ever delivered
A lot of the GG music can be summed up with "you're crazy for doing that. It shouldn't work, yet it does"

Millia my beloved
All the character themes and their lyrics talk about the characters
Guilty gears newest character theme song is really thrashy if thats your style. Testaments theme song (the character) is probably my favorite song from the game
testaments may and jacko are the worst for me
I'll add it to our request list for you! -Joel Norden
The meaning of THE BEE'S KNEES is an excellent or much liked person or thing.

He isn’t Japanese he moved to Japan when he was young but it still works
@@arandomguyontheinternet2308 Daisuke Ishiwatari is definitely Japanese. He was just born in South Africa.
@@arandomguyontheinternet2308 while not born in Japan, he was raised there for most of his childhood. He’s also half Japanese so there’s that as well.
i think the meaning transitions well enough to get the point across.
