    You are born in a sea of bones of your siblings.
    You climb up the Abyss with sickening cracks of falling bodies around.
    You reach the top, claws scraping desperately at the cold, sharp walls.
    You see the King, your father, he who cursed his own progeny.
    Only with him can you survive.
    You turn around to see another reach the summit.
    This brief moment of hesitation alone already spells your doom;
    You are not the unfeeling mockery of life as father had intended.
    You either help your sibling and he would cast you both down to die,
    Or you ignore them and dwell on the guilt.
    You follow the King. You are the chosen one.
    You don't yet know that you'd be better off rotting in that pit,
    As you are walking towards a fate worse than death.
    Youngling to grown vessel, you are denied friendship, love, or even personhood.
    You are a tool wearing the face of what could have been the King's child. Nothing more.
    But your father is all you have, and he affords to show you some affection once.
    Deprived, you grow to love him, in spite of what he has done to you.
    Even if you had the courage, you cannot tell him.
    You don't know if he loves you back.
    Even if you dared, you cannot ask.
    If you could, at best he would love you too in spite of your flaw,
    And begin anew the destruction of your siblings.
    At worst he would dispose of you too.
    You become the Hollow Knight.
    You will seal the enemy of your King’s make to save his kingdom.
    If you succeed, you will be alone, in chains, in the dark, forever.
    And that is your duty, for you would save countless lives.
    You could uphold the purpose behind your siblings’ lives cut short.
    And maybe earn your father's love. Although you’d never live to hear him say it.
    He has gifted you the power to see the kingdom that you will protect.
    If you are the pure vessel that you were supposed to, you will prevail.
    But you are not.
    If you were uncaring, you wouldn't care to save anyone.
    If you were unfeeling, you wouldn't feel the pain the entire time.
    If you were unwanting, you wouldn't want to make your father proud.
    If you were the thoughtless, empty, husk creature, you would have succeed.
    If you had been what everyone needed, you wouldn't have turned out worthless.
    After a lifetime of torment in chains, you wouldn't have fallen apart, and failed.
    And with your failure you watch the kingdom slowly fall and its citizens die.
    The Dreamers who forfeit their lives to seal you.
    The mother your half-sister lost.
    The legions of siblings that perished.
    The blood on your parents' hands.
    The guilt they were crushed under.
    Your own sacrifice and pain.
    All for nothing.
    Because you actually cared.
    You could have been a prince.
    Your parents could have loved you like a real child.
    You could have had friends and siblings.
    You could have had a voice.
    But all that was taken away from you.
    And it was taken all for nothing.
    Because it wasn't enough.
    Because you were afraid to fail.
    Nobody will remember you, nor what you have done.
    You will stand guard, suffering in silence, for a dead kingdom.
    You will be bound, rotting alive, for no one and for nothing.
    All alone, save for angered powers tearing down your mind.
    And thoughts that you should never have had in the first place.
    Thoughts of your mistakes, lies, regrets, and failure.
    Memories of your betrayed sibling and life thrown away.
    That will be all you have left until the end of time.
    For you will not die. Not for a long while.
    You can't reach your nail..

      @thesystem3273 That theory is debunked, there are multiple reasons why but the main one is the birthplace cut scene.
      At the top of the ledge, not only is the knight and the Pale King in one place, but the baby Hollow Knight notices and sees them both, meaning both are actually physically there and it's not a memory of the Knights past life or anything, so that's basically confirmation that the Pale king and knight are separate entities.

    The shock I felt when I saw THK start stabbing itself in the middle of the boss fight... I'd pieced together that the infection was reanimating corpses and driving everything it touched into a rage, so when I saw the infection filling THK's room I thought it was just another mindless beast, another shell like so many others I'd slain.
    Then it started stabbing itself and 2:15 played. And it hit me, it's not just another husk driven mad by rage... it's still in there. The screams between phases aren't screams of rage, they're screams of *pain.* It still had some control of itself, and it only wanted to die. I thought it was the source of the infection, but it was only a victim like every other poor bug in Hallownest.

      While heartfelt, your comment about the scream is incorrect. The Pale King's idea of perfect meant that the vessels had no voice- the scream is the Radiance, not THK. That's why when you fight Pure Vessel, its scream animation is silent.
      So THK can't even scream for help, or in pain, or for someone to save it. Eternally silent, chained and suffering the immense agony of the Radiance's infection.

    During the fight with The Hollow Knight he fights you, but is slow. His movements are reluctant, he stabs himself, and feels possessed. For me, I saw a vessel who loved. And he felt pain. And he died for you, and the pale king, and everyone else.
    He still lives in the corrupted body. He wants to help. Thats all he's wanted.
    Now, he has to fight.

    This song is so perfect in so many ways
    The build up, that is the perfect start. It captures how hollow it is at the start, how empty the room is. How suspenseful it is.
    The loud and sudden burst of instruments. The perfect start to a chaotic fight between siblings. A sudden and quick attack of THK. The final boss.
    The sorrow filled second phase. The pain of the perfect vessel, the infection killing it. The scream of the Damned.
    The slow second buildup. Feels like the memories of THK coming back, and its plea for help finally answered by us.
    The silence for a second then the piano. The conclusion. No one won, but the pain is over. That's what it tells.

    So I suck at videogames. As expected, I sucked even more at Hollow Knight. After hours and hours of trial and error, I arrived at the Temple of the black egg with this idea of the Hollow Knight being some sort of mindless beast, completely consumed by the infection. That's what I was expecting, a fight against a mindless creature.
    At first, I was not disappointed, as the Hollow Knight seemed aggressive enough. But then he fell on his knees and started moving in a weird way. At first I thought he was having some sort of seizures, and only afterwards did I realize what he was actually doing.
    At that point I just stopped. I couldn't do anything but stare in disbelief, asking myself why that was happening. Then it got me. That creature still had something left inside of him, he wasn't so hollow after all. And these were not cries of rage, they were cries of pain. He had regained some control over himself, and he only had one desire: to die.
    I swear, the second part of this fight was the most heartbreaking thing I've ever seen. The way he so desperately tries to end it when he manages to get some consciousness back, and the way he tries to hit me but can't get up, even when the infection has control over him, is devastating.
    I don't know, maybe I tend to approach things with too much empathy, but I can't think about that poor knight without feeling a deep sense of sadness.

      I get that he was desperate and that he wanted to save his people, but I believe he went too far. First of all, I believe he could have taken the Radiance into account just a little, so she wouldn't seek revenge. Then, he doomed thousands and thousands of vessels, his children, and allowed even more civilians to be slaughtered in the Soul Sanctum. He trapped a dude inside a lighthouse for...what? One could say that he wasn't aware of the fact that his son was capable of feeling emotions and pain, so that might have been unintentional. But when he realized what happened, he basically said bye bye and went into hiding, in a dream world palace, surrounded by spikes and buzzsaws (which is also why I hate him lol). How honorable. He should have, at least, stayed and died with his kingdom.

      @sailor actually we can see that the knight tries to get out of the water and seemingly panicking, showing that it has a little bit of emotions, it has void in him which mean that he can easily survive infected air but the entirety of the infection AND a higher being in him without any proper training like the sealed vessel would be a little bit harder than that, also the sealed vessel still has a little bit of control even with all of that in him, I think there is different level of hollowness and the pale king Idea in general is flawed because a physical being without any emotion and completely hollow doesn't exist.

    I was introduced to Hollow Knight thanks to a beloved friend of mine. She kept on begging me to buy it and after reaching this ending and also getting to the Sealed Siblings ending later on, this game was not worth the money I paid for it. It was worth more than I could ever imagined and this game, this very theme as well, changed my entire perspective on life as a whole. A game like this is like a lot of things in life, on the surface its not much. But when you take that plunge, the puddle you saw is a bigger ocean than you thought.

    One of the greatest video game music themes ever made. Not only because of its fantastic arrangement, transitions and overall composition: it manages to evoke a tempest of emotion that you seldom expect while playing a video game, one that you’d usually experience by watching a great movie while an important scene plays out, because of how well it captures the final boss battle and the cutscenes. All in all, a one-of-a-kind musical experience, or at least it was to me.

    After fighting Grimm, the Traitor Lord, and the Nightmare King, i walked into this fight expecting a challenge. I didnt expect a fight that i wouldnt want to finish. The Hollow Knight is a broken, tortured animal that moves just fast enough that it counts as a boss, but slow enough that you feel bad for hitting it. It only has enough energy for one spell attack. They keep trying to commit suicide mid-fight. Half of their attacks arent their own. They dont even have their own voice.

    I went in almost completely blind, only knew it was about little bugs and some kind of ancient kingdom.
    I'm not a pro or anything, but my skills grew a lot in the game through trial and error, and many, MANY deaths. So I went to the Black Egg temple, after having unsealed the last Dreamer in my first playthrough, Lurien, and I thought, "Alright, time to do the final boss. I'm sure I'll get destroyed." The thing is, I DIDN'T. I died tons and tons and TONS of times to bosses. Hornet Protector? Even her. Flukemarm? Embarrassingly, yes. But the Hollow Knight? I think I only died 3 times before I finished them off. And the fight felt WRONG. The Hollow Knight's body thrashed and thrown at me by some unseen force inside of it. The air getting more and more orange with infection. They started stabbing themselves, and in my confusion, I just kept swinging, thinking it was my duty to end this Hollow Knight. And after I did, the cutscene played. And it was the weirdest feeling I'd ever felt playing.
    I had gotten the end, right? I beat the game?
    So, why did this feel like I lost?

    I think our character, the knight, knew more than the game let on. You dream nail yourself at one point, and all the memories locked away come flooding back. You have all your skills, because you started with them. When you finally reach the top, you've barely made the jump, you're hanging on, you see your sibling look back at you, thinking they will help you up. They don't. Then you find a way out of the pit at some point, you enter the wastelands, where you lose your memory on purpose. "No mind to think, no will to break" something keeps tugging at you... something inside is telling you, DEMANDING that you go a certain direction. You arrive at Hallownest. You travel, going off your instincts. "no mind to think". You fight your way through the kingdom, you're battered, bruised, in pain. "No mouth to cry suffering". You get your skills back, not even realizing you had them all before. Then you remember. Your purpose, the reason you even exist.
    You remember. You have a purpose, and it's time to fulfill it. You have one shot, one hope. The dream nail. The one thing you didn't have at the start. You can go into others. You can stop the infection at its source.

    I want to point out the strength that the hollow knight had, yes it was doomed from the beginning but it was by for the bug affected by the radiance the most (obviously) and yet it was able to resist the infection at times during the fight and stab itself to put itself out of its misery. All of that infection that was able to completely control it but it was still able to resist to make one final stand. I know that the hollow knight is supposed to have no will to break but you can make a case that it had the strongest will out of any bug to ever touch the kingdom of Hallownest, and that strong will probably always was there, to earn the respect of his father and kingdom was definitely something it cared about since the beginning

    As someone who completed the Path of Pain before this fight, me hearing the leitmotif for it in this fight kinda broke me a little seeing that (While reading comments in their respective videos) the Hollow Knight was too attached to the Pale King, thus leading to its infection. The worst part being that in the middle of the fight we see him trying to aid us in battle, meaning they still have a sort of conscious. It implies that through the Radiance controlling it and making its life a hell he could still think of his father.

    To me, this soundtrack almost seems to be telling a story
    The creepy ambience at the start almost like Holly waking up infected. Everything seems hazy or fuzzy, and there's this feeling of disorientation.
    Then at 0:22, it's like realizing what's going on, or maybe remembering the pain, which starts to build up as the strings grow in intensity, the final chord suddenly invoking anger and rage.
    And then... silence.
    And then the music explodes with chaotic 16th notes in the low strings, what sounds like a harpsicord doubling the melody, and the first 4 notes of the main leitmotif playing over and over again, each time in a higher register to build up this moment. It's almost as if it's saying: _"This is it. You've made it to the end. The Hollow Knight themself is all that stands between you and the credits. It's all led up to this. Get ready for the final fight ahead."_
    To me, the chaotic string runs and the simplified melody 0:59 seem to recall his origins. _"Chosen from the abyss, believed to be the only one to have escaped, this is the vessel that would stop the infection, and allow the kingdom to remain eternal"_
    And then the shifting chord progression at 1:27 seems to invoke this feeling of inevitability, as though it was all for nothing. Despite all that planning, all the precautions, the kingdom still crumbled, and there nothing that could be done about it, and the Hollow Knight was never truly capable of containing the radiance.
    The crazy, descending string runs at 1:39 seem to remind the listener of the stakes, as if to say _"The fate of Hallownest lies in your hands. Everything will be lost if you fail this fight. You have to win this"_
    The jabs at 1:55 bring us back to the battle at hand; I imagine each jab is a fire pillar being shot up at ghost, and each one being more dangerous than the last.
    *And then... **2:11**...*
    The looping soundtrack along with the tragic string quartet seem to have this feeling of... being trapped. Almost like Groundhog Day, Holly is stuck in an endless loop, living out the same cycle over and over again, constantly looping through pain, agony, guilt, dread, suffering, anger, sadness, and grief.
    And as we slowly learn the true extent of Holly's pain, the music swells, adding am extra violin, then choir, then brass and percussion.
    Until finally, we reach the cutscene... and put an end to his misery

    Hollow Knight has some very mature music for its animation style. Sealed Vessel communicates the game's dark tone and tragedy without a single word spoken, which I think really says something huge about music as its own language. A piece of media is easily transformed by its score.

      I played it blind too, but there were a couple parts where I was stuck and had to look something up. I saw the hollow knight bossfight blind for the first time though, but I was confused about what was going on. Is he the source of infection? Why is he stabbing himself? Is he really the enemy? But when I saw the ending (default one you get without void heart) I realised we weren’t fighting him, we were helping him. The infection was already leaking, so we had to step in to contain it. His fate was unfortunate

      It is true that over time it has transformed a bit and now it represents catastrophes and tragedies in general instead of the end of the world, that's why it appears in songs like this.

    Went in blind, and from what was being told throughout the story, I thought it was going to be one huge heroic fight, and also a really difficult one considering how much the Infection beefs up its victims. The instant mood change once the Knight began striking themself, the infection mutilating their body, attacks slowing, it was really cool and really sad, narratively speaking, anyway. Not to mention the music going from intense to somber, to just tragic.
    10/10, would play again, currently 100% completing the game. Definitely ranking high on my video game list.

They had some Nintendo soundtracks on there as well and many people guess that it was exactly because of this that their channel was terminated. You know how Nintendo is very much a bloodhound when it comes to channels that upload their music, there were a lot of incidents with some popular channels because of that. And IndiGo was caught as collateral damage in the middle of it. It's really sad, these HK videos would been five years old by this time, and now they're just gone forever along with all their various comments.
