Lost in Thoughts All Alone
| ||||||||||||||||
|
"Lost in Thoughts All Alone" (Japanese: if～ひとり思う～ if ~Thinking Alone~) is a major musical theme from Fire Emblem Fates which is frequently performed by the character Azura throughout the game's events. The original Japanese song was performed by Renka, who provides Azura's singing voice in the Japanese version of Fates, while the English version was performed by Rena Strober, Azura's English voice actress. In the Heirs of Fate DLC series, Yoshimasa Hosoya and Matthew Mercer, the Japanese and English voice actors of Shigure respectively, sing a fourth verse exclusive to the aforementioned series alongside Azura's respective voice actresses.
The Japanese version of the song received an album release shortly after the release of Fates itself, and also received a limited edition release. The album contains two versions of "Lost in Thoughts All Alone" itself as well as two other songs by Renka, and the limited edition adds a DVD with two music videos for "Lost in Thoughts All Alone", one of which is Fire Emblem-themed.
Appearances
Fire Emblem series
- Fire Emblem Fates
- Azura sings the chorus in a cutscene at the end of Chapter 4 before meeting Corrin, to release Takumi from his brainwashing in Birthright Chapter 10, and revert Fort Dragonfall back to normal in Birthright Chapter 20. She sings two of the three verses as part of her dances in Birthright Chapter 12 and Conquest Chapter 14.
- The Endgames of all three campaigns use an ominous version of the song: End of All (Sky) in Birthright, End of All (Land) in Conquest, and End of All (Below) in Revelation. Each track is mostly the same but uses their route's respective verse of the song.
- Three of the song's verses appear in the Ancient Texts as the three Prophecies. Various lines from the song are also the namesakes of certain chapters, including pre-split Chapter 6, Birthright Chapter 6, Conquest Chapter 6, Revelation Chapter 6, the Birthright Endgame, the Conquest Endgame, and Revelation Chapter 27.
- The song is played during the first part of the credits for all three routes.
- Fire Emblem Fates: DLC
- The fourth verse exclusive to the Heirs of Fate DLC series lends its lines to the names of all six chapters of the arc.
- An arrangement of the variation from the Heirs of Fate DLC series plays during End: Lost in the Waves, the series' final chapter.
- The song is played in a cutscene if all units survived during End: Lost in the Waves.
- Fire Emblem Engage
- In the A Bond conversation between Corrin and Timerra, Corrin sings the first part of the song.
Other appearances
- Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U: Two versions of "Lost in Thoughts All Alone" were added to the game as part of Corrin's downloadable content package: the original lyrical version from Fates, shortened to roughly two-and-a-half minutes, and an instrumental, more energetic remix. In for Wii U, both are added as songs to the Castle Siege and Coliseum stages, while in for Nintendo 3DS, the remixed version is available to be played in the Smash Run mode.
- Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: The aforementioned versions of "Lost in Thoughts All Alone" have been reused in the game, appearing alongside a third remixed version that was added; all three are playable songs in Castle Siege, Coliseum, and Arena Ferox. Additionally, Corrin was given a new victory theme based on "Lost in Thoughts All Alone".

Japanese ユラリ ユルレリ 光へ 手を伸ばす ユラリ ユルレリ 闇へと 進みゆく 選びしは 正しき道 すべてが 狭間へ沈みゆく 空蝉 描く夢 ユラリ ユルレリ ユルレリ ユラリ |
Japanese (Rōmaji) Yurari yurureri Hikari e te o nobasu Yurari yurureri Yami e to susumiyuku Erabishi wa tadashiki michi subete ga Hazama e shizumi yuku Utsusemi egaku yume Yurari yurureri Yurureri yurari |
Japanese (translated) Swaying and being swayed Reaching out to the light Swaying and being swayed Moving towards to the dark The exact path, you chosen, and everything Falling down to the ground Dreams depicted in the impermanent world Swaying and being swayed Being swayed, and swaying |
English You are the ocean's gray waves, destined to seek In the white light, a hand reaches through; Sing with me a song of birthrights and love You are the ocean's gray waves, destined to seek Embrace the dark you call a home, Sing with me a song of conquest and fate The path you walk on belongs to destiny, just let it flow A burdened heart sinks into the ground Sing with me a song of silence and blood In endless dreams, countless realms collide, Sing with me one last time, for light's sacrifice, You are the ocean's gray waves, destined to seek You are the ocean's gray waves. |

Trivia
- In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the game lists the origin game of the English version of "Lost in Thoughts All Alone" from Fire Emblem Fates (the game's localized name), and the origin game of the Japanese version from Fire Emblem if (the game's Japanese name); bizarrely, however, the latter is listed as the origin game of both remixes regardless of region, despite the localized name being different.
