Arrow of Time is a song featured on the Cassette Beasts Original Soundtrack. It is the final boss theme for the game.
Lyrics
Let’s go (uncertain)
In time the curtains all will be drawn (then we’ll know)
Where we are
In this furnace, burning, toss and turning
Stars (inverted)
Black holes on purpose
Oh how it is
Isn’t how it is meant to be but finally we’ll see
There’s no reason, there’s no time or space
To keep feeling, the world’s lost its faith
We can’t derail the arrow of time
If we prevail, if we make the climb
We won’t notice the entropic change in our bones if
We don’t set our minds
To stalling falling blossoms and bloom
Together at the end of the line
Lonely, how do you feel?
And how high can you go
It’s only me lacking in zeal
But breathe, gather and focus
I can turn this around
‘Cause you can’t unbuild the bonds that we made together
Looks like from here it, it only gets better
All out, in practice
Get back on axis
Oh a seamless loop of seeds and sand
A timeless tide keeps pulling you under
All else turns to rain
Fall back in and find the exit
There’s no one else to blame
Can you give me all that you’ve got
There’s no reason, there’s no time or space
To keep feeling, the world’s lost its faith
We can’t derail the arrow of time
If we prevail, if we make the climb
We won’t notice the entropic change in our bones if
We don’t set our minds
To stalling falling blossoms and bloom
Together at the end of the line
Lonely, how do you feel?
And how high can you go
It’s only me lacking in zeal
But breathe, gather and focus
I can turn this around
‘Cause you can’t unbuild the bonds that we made together
Looks like from here it, it only gets better
Lonely, how do you feel?
And how high can you go
It’s only me lacking in zeal
But breathe, gather and focus
I can turn this around
‘Cause you can’t unbuild the bonds that we made together
Looks like from here it, it only gets better
