Sanctuary: ReverseRebirth

by Li the Twilight Knight

Yeah... This is the lyrics to the song Sanctuary, with a very different set than you might expect. This is Riku's side of the song, and believe me when I say, it's a tad frightening. I've put up Simple and Clean now, and some extra stuff too! Huzzah!

1. Sanctuary ReverseRebirth

Sanctuary: Reverse/Rebirth

I need more affection than you know.

Yeah, I was him. So, and now, turn it down.

Why?

He was Ansem, he was Ansem. I need more affection than you know. Wasn't it easy? Yeah, I was him. We all three grew, I hear I was Ansem, I hear I was Ansem. I need more affection than you know. And now you shall sleep. Yeah, it was real, and I never knew it (close it). Now in terrible sleep, he finally listens. I've his emotions.

I need true emotion.
I need more affection than you know.
I need true emotions.
How could I destroy all?
So many ups and downs.

He was Ansem, he was Ansem. I need more affection than you know. Wasn't it easy? Yeah, I was him. We all three grew, I hear I was Ansem, I hear I was Ansem. I need more affection than you know. And now you shall sleep. Yeah, it was real, and I never knew it (close it). Right now, and inside, we shall fly.

He was Ansem, he was Ansem. I need more affection than you know. Wasn't it easy? Yeah, I was him. We all three grew, I hear I was Ansem, I hear I was Ansem. I need more affection than you know. And now you shall sleep. Yeah, it was real, and I never knew it….

I need more affection than you know…

Li: Okay, let me explain. Before y'all start complaining, "This isn't Sanctuary! WTF?" let me get one point out. This IS Sanctuary, when you play it backwards. It's the song played backwards, and it sounds like Riku's half of the story. These are the words I heard, but it does make sense.

The parts where is says "He was Ansem." are obvious to discover the meaning of. Riku was the host for Ansem's spirit.
Where it says. "It was real, and I never knew it", I think it means he didn't realize what the darkness was doing to him, until it was too late and Ansem took him over.
"How could I destroy all?" is an allusion to the destruction of Destiny Islands by the Heartless, which was kinda Riku's fault for opening the door.
"I need true emotion." is a reference to the fact that he is disguised as a Nobody in the XIII Order.
And finally, "I need more affection than you know." means that even though he acted tough, he needed love just as much as Sora, and when he saw that Sora had 'replaced' him with new friends he was hurt, and that led to him turning to the dark.

Like I said, this is just my interpretation. Find a program, play it backwards, and listen for yourself. I've done all I can here.

Happy reading
