Which character does "This Broken Soul" refer to???

Volteer32 · Feb 17, 2008 6:23 PM

Okay with the theme for the end of TEN being "This Broken Soul", who do you think it refers to?

Firstly I thought it was Cynder, because of her time during ANB where she was captured by the Dark Master, turned into an adult version of herself, almost freeing the Dark Master in Convexity.

But having thought about it a bit more, I thought it could have been Spyro, after his epic journey to get to the Well Of Souls, having defeated quite a number of characters along the way, such as Skabb, Arborick etc... and then having to put up yet another massive fight to get rid of Gaul. That and the fact he got trapped in the Soul Beam - only to have Cynder crash tackle him out of it. And at the end when he suspends them in that "gem" or whatever it is.

So who do you think it refers to??

DragonPrincess · Feb 17, 2008 7:05 PM

Probably the both of them.

Volteer32 · Feb 17, 2008 9:44 PM

True that - Spyro having so much to deal with as well as Cynder, after all they've been through.

Since it's sung by a female - I'd say it's leaning more towards Cynder .. but then again I could be wrong

DragonPrincess · Feb 18, 2008 1:10 AM

Then on the other hand you could be right.

Volteer32 · Feb 18, 2008 1:26 AM

I think if we found the lyrics to This Broken Soul then I might be able to tell.

Lyrics of This Broken Soul
--------------------------------------------
O Holy Land
Come ancient spirits
Take up my hand
And guide me.

Pull me to shore
Rivers are rising
Look in this heart
And find me.

I've lost my way
Your voice is silent
I need you here
To remind me

Show me now
How to find my home.
All I am
Surrender

Let the water
Flow right through this broken soul

I'm by your side
Ashes still burning
I proved my worth
So tell me why

I've lost my way
Your voice is silent
I need you here
To remind me

Show me now
How to find my home
All I am
Surrender

Let the water
Flow right through this broken soul.

Tell me that you can forgive
Bring me peace that I may live

Show me now
How to find my home
All I am
Surrender

Oh sweet rest
Oh sweet rest
Find me at my home
Stay with me
Forever

Let the water
Flow right through this broken soul.

It's CYNDER!!!

Yeah, this song was made towards Cynder, even if Spyro has had hard times, Cynder has it way worse off, she feels lost, and needs guidence.... she needs to FIND A HOME! i say that home is probably with Spyro......

Volteer32 · Feb 18, 2008 2:18 AM

Tell me that you can forgive

(referring back to ANB as Dark Cynder she gave Spyro a hell hard time)

Bring me peace that I may live

(Together once the Dark Master is defeated will she find peace with Spyro)

ratchet · Feb 18, 2008 5:10 AM

i dont think anyone, its just a song

Volteer32 · Feb 18, 2008 5:12 AM

Okay ratchet you'd think they would come up with a song that has nothing to do with the game nor the characters within it.

That in itself would be completely nuts smile

Still my thoughts are it's on Cynder this song is based

ratchet · Feb 18, 2008 5:43 AM

yes, thats what i believe. Though it hasthe sorta theme of TLOS.

abbey1053 · Feb 18, 2008 2:27 PM

I think it was towards Spyro about him missing his real parents.

Sails_the_Fox · Feb 18, 2008 7:21 PM

you guys convinced me that it COULD be cynder it might be spyro missing his real parents but he docent even KNOW them! now i think its cynder from this song!

It is .. I'll explain using bits from the song

Show me now
How to find my home.
All I am
Surrender

In the beginning of TEN in the swamp where Cynder tells Spyro that his home is here his destiny is here, hers is out there somewhere for her to find - she's looking for a way to find her true home (which in this case I do think is with the Guardians and Spyro)

And like I said before with this bit:

Tell me that you can forgive
Bring me peace that I may live

ANB revisited: As Dark Cynder, she caused the Guardians and Spyro some major hurt, capturing and possibly torturing Volteer, Cyril and Terrador, and in the end in Concurrent Skies Ignitus. But even then she didn't know what she was doing because she was under the Dark Master's control.

Now she's turning to them as a normal dragon to ask for forgiveness after all she has done to them, so that she may find peace within herself and with her new partner Spyro.

shade105 · Feb 18, 2008 10:01 PM

its Cynder, i knew that from the start.... who knows...

Spyrofriend · Feb 18, 2008 10:37 PM

I read it as 'the love flow thriough this broken soul" Water will not heal a soul, but love can..Thje song is about Cynder, and hoe Spyro can help her find her home, and his love will heal her soul..

Blaze the Dragon · Feb 18, 2008 10:41 PM

Read the lines of this: "Pull me to shore" and "Rivers are rising." Spyro is being compared to a river to guide her to safety, thus: "let the water flow right through this broken soul"

Volteer32 · Feb 18, 2008 10:50 PM

Nice point Blaze.

Okay settled then?? It's Cynder the song refers to ... weird how the game is about Spyro himself and the end credits theme refers to his potential partner ... ohh well

*Sits back and waits for #3 to get here*

Razz · Feb 18, 2008 11:08 PM

I rather liked that the song implies a bit of duality with Cynder. The lyric "come ancient spirit" implies that she's calling for the Dark Master to save her, but much of the song also implies that she's seeking Spyro's forgiveness and help. Poor girl. She must be so confused.

Volteer32 · Feb 18, 2008 11:13 PM

Razz you feeling OK ??

I don't think it's the Dark Master she's calling on ... Remember back in ANB how Spyro asks about the gems and Ignitus tells him who they're from ...THAT IS .. I think tongue

Sails_the_Fox · Feb 19, 2008 1:04 AM

WOOOOOOOOOOW! o_O that is cynder! (:)

Razz · Feb 19, 2008 3:14 AM

Huh. I'd never thought of it that way. Also, I like the idea that she's confused. I mean, when you consider the way she was raised, what we know to be evil was goodness to her, so it's not out of the question that she might miss the old familiar things.

KiaratheDragon · Feb 19, 2008 11:27 AM

Well, I think it's more of Spyro's song. Maybe, Spyro's soul is broken ever since Cynder went off on her own and is holding more responsibility to look after her. ^^[URL=http://img262.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dmcsignaturedu6.jpg] dmcsignaturedu6.th.jpg [/URL]

Razz · Feb 19, 2008 3:09 PM

I thought that, too, initially, but if you listen to the lyrics, they really don't fit Spyro. His place in the world is pretty firmly set. It also doesn't help that it's sung by a woman. big_smile

cynderfan · Feb 20, 2008 5:46 AM

it's volteer! NOT of course it's cynder
