Wir fliegen

Wir fliegen is Disc 1, Track 13 on the XenobladeX Original Soundtrack and Track 4 on the Xenoblade Chronicles X Soundtrack Selection. The melody at 1:00 is based upon a motif from no6=LP. X-BT2 is a version of this track with the vocals replaced by a synthesiser.

The track plays when the player activates Overdrive in battle (in both Xenoblade Chronicles X and Xenoblade Chronicles 2). Only the first two sections of the song play in-game; the loop occurs after the repeating section.

The song was sung by Cyua, with lyrics written by Rie.

German
Die Wolkenkratzer erobern den vor Sternen glitzernden Himmel Wir laufen durch die Häuserschlucht, damit wir echtes Licht nicht verlieren Unsere verletzten Herzen verschwinden in der Finsternis Wir sind wie verschneite Spuren im Schnee Wir sind wie wirbelnde Blätter im Wind

※ The time has come Wir hören tick tack Die Uhr tickt Die Reise in die Zukunft Tick tack, die Uhr tickt The time has come Wir hören tick tack Die Uhr tickt In leichtem Licht fliegen wir zu dir

※ Repeat

Wir schlagen den Himmel wie ein Mattglas ein weil er dich in deinem Zimmer einsperrt Wir fliegen im Sternenhimmel Hand in Hand, weil wir Kämpfer für die Freiheit sind

Wir schlagen den Spiegel, in dem sich der Himmel verzerrt Wir fliegen im Sternenhimmel Hand in Hand, weil wir Kämpfer für die Freiheit sind Du auch

English (unofficial)
The skyscrapers conquer the sky of glittering stars We run through the gorge of houses, So that we don't lose real light Our injured hearts disappear in the darkness We are like traces covered in snow We are like whirling leaves in the wind

※ The time has come We hear tick tock The clock is ticking The journey into the future Tick tock, the clock is ticking The time has come We hear tick tock The clock is ticking In a dim light we are flying to you

※ Repeat

We shatter the sky like a frosted glass Because it locks you up in your room We fly in the starry sky hand in hand, Because we are fighters for freedom

We hit the mirror, in which the sky is distorted We fly in the starry sky hand in hand, Because we are fighters for freedom You too

Etymology
