| TRACK NAME | ARTIST(S) | STORY |
|---|---|---|
| Hollow | Yosh | “I would be lost, drifting along […] bloody and bruised, brought to my knees. When beaten down, when broken up, you would appear, reach out to me. Heal every wound and make me whole […] Had I realized, had I thought it through, would you be here in my embrace? |
| Shine bright once more, guide me to you, smile bright once more. This time I will never let you go.” | ||
| The romance throughout the three acts: feeling lost, confused, angry, but that weird feeling of love growing, scaring them both. One needed time to understand it, the other to heal, but now that they’re together again, nothing can separate them. |
| TRACK NAME | ARTIST(S) | STORY |
|---|---|---|
| Hawke Family Theme | Inon Zur | Hawke’s theme, used to mark the beginning of her (back)story. |
| Sense of Home | Harrison Storm | “Tell your brother you're listening to his dreams. |
| Tell your sister she is all you need. | ||
| Tell your mother she is the only one, and your father has made you all that you've become. Because these words aren't meant for anyone else but your family.” | ||
| After Malcolm’s passing, when the Hawke family started changing. | ||
| I Was So Sure | Mnthl | “"Breathe",t hat's what they're telling me but I just can't calm down. |
| Grieve, I know it's what I need but I just don't know how. | ||
| All these voices get so loud, but they still can't drown the sound of me knowing this is all my fault. We're still too young, this is too much, but I still know that there must have been something that I could have done. | ||
| I was so sure but I fell short. I thought I'd stand tall, and shake the ashes off. I told myself that I could be strong, I was so sure…” | ||
| Eleena is a spirit healer, but she had to hide her magic. She tried to save Malcolm, but the illness took him eventually. She was sure there was something she could have done to prevent this, but she was so young… | ||
| Surface Pressure | Jessica Darrow | "Under the surface, I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service. […] Give it to your sister, your sister's stronger, see if she can hang on a little longer. Who am I if I can't carry it all, if I falter? Under the surface, I hide my nerves and it worsens, I worry something is gonna hurt us. […] Give it to your sister, it doesn't hurt, and see if she can handle every family burden.” |
| Since Malcolm’s death, Eleena was forced to grow and replace her parents, as Léandra wasn’t emotionally available and she was the oldest… But she always hid it behind a big smile, letting those invisible cracks in the shadows. |
| TRACK NAME | ARTIST(S) | STORY |
|---|---|---|
| Fenris Theme | Inon Zur | Fenris’ theme, used to mark the beginning of his (back)story. |
| Escapism | AJ Michalka, Zach Callison & Grace Rolek) | “I guess I have to face that in this awful place, I shouldn't show a trace of doubt but pulled against the grain. I feel a little pain that I would rather do without. I'd rather be free.” |
| Young Fenris dreaming of escapism, leaving Tevinter. Before he got his lyrium markings. | ||
| Metamorphosis | Blue Stahli | I feel it right at the heart of me and it grips me physically. Dragging down so far below and it's a violent vertigo. Digging it in like a parasite […] Something's changing, rearranging me. Just beginning my own surgery. |
| I'll cut away everything and tear away everything. Confining, defining. And I'll escape myself. I cast off what it means to be ruled by the happening. Moving past the experience, never dwell on the evidence. Breaking it off of the identity, I come and kill it when i contravene. | ||
| I'm dissolving all of this in the full metamorphosis.” | ||
| Fenris changing, getting the lyrium markings as his memories disappear. | ||
| Death of Me | SAINT PHNX | “See the chains around my feet, wondering if I'm gonna wake up and be flying. It's killing me trying. I'm a dreamer, I'm a man. I'm doing whatever I can to make the bad things go away. When I'm beat up and alone, I feel it wherever I go, it's like a poison in my veins.” |
| Fenris dreaming of freedom, of using that poison on his skin to his advantage. | ||
| Kill of Be Killed | Muse | “I must kill or be killed. They've driven a stake right through my heart. I'm growing so cold and detached and I’ve tried so hard to spread love but she prefers it when I assert control. Fate has brought us here to face our hopes and dreams erased. Either kill or be killed.” |
| Fed up and finally having an opportunity to strike and free himself, he knows it means blood on his hands. | ||
| Not forgetting Fenris is Andrastian, and “she” could fit her role. | ||
| Fade Away | Breaking Benjamin | “It's over,I didn't want to see it come to this. I wonder if I will ever see your face again. And I know that I will find a way to shed the skin. It's simple, I know that I will suffer in the end. […] I'm cold and broken, all alone. It's hopeless, the end will come and wash it all away. Forsaken, I live for those I lost along the way and I can't remember how it all began to break. We suffer, I live to fight and die another day.” |
| After killing ‣ & the other Fog Warriors, he’s in a turmoil, knowing he could still escape, or go back to his slave life, regretting the trust they put in him. | ||
| Keep Myself Alive | Get Scared | “How could this darker cloud make me stronger now. I'll always ask myself: When will this go away, when will this change? |
| I don't want to wait. All of this pain, will it go away? […]I just want to leave this place behind, every time I see your face in mine!” | ||
| His time by the Fog Warriors made him stronger, made him realise there’s a chance for him, a life where he could just be his own person, not someone’s property. But everytime he thinks about it, the flashes of their faces come back. The visions of him, murdering them all. | ||
| Paradox | Survive Said The Prophet | “Drown me out what was once what I had burn me out of my misery. Down to the ashes, we all fall down to the ashes. Carry on, I've been gone from the place where I belong because I can not take this anymore. I'm done with the feelings that I've known, lost in paradox. The feeling of hatred burns my soul. […] Some will call it giving up, I just call it getting lost in my own revenge.” |
| Determined to run away from Danarius and never letting him take over again. | ||
| Run Boy Run | Woodkid | “Run boy run! This world is not made for you, they 're trying to catch you. |
| Run boy run! The sun will be guiding you, they're dying to stop you. | ||
| Run boy run! Break out from society.” | ||
| Fenris, the runaway slave. | ||
| Woke Up A Rebel | Reuben And The Dark | “The blood will not dry and time will not heal. I want to be free but the blood will not dry. […] I slept like a slave and woke up a rebel.” |
| Fenris still thinking about the Fog Warriors and these markings, still labelling him as “Danarius’ weapon”, that cannot heal. But he’s determined. | ||
| Time of Dying | Three Days Grace | “On the ground I lay motionless in pain. I can see my life flashing before my eyes. Did I fall asleep, is this all a dream? […] I will not die, I will survive, I'll wait here for you.” |
| More hunters sent by Danarius to find Fenris found him, and he killed them all, again. He’s not scared of him anymore. He’s ready for the day he might come in person, to kill him. | ||
| stray | Steve Conte | “I never spoke of tears or opened up to anyone including myself. I would like to find a way to open to you, been awhile, don't know if I remember how to. I'm here waiting on the edge, would I be alright showing myself to you? It's always been so hard to do. […] No regrets 'cause I got nothing to lose. […] Is there a place left there for me, somewhere that I belong? Or will I always live this way, always stray?” |
| Now back on the continent, freedom almost there to grasp, she has no idea what he wants since he was never given that chance. This song can also reflect his growth around Act I and ActII about friendship, his way to open up to Hawke, slowly. |
