Lyrics (unofficial)[edit]
You and I dancing in the fire
And the rest in down in the beat while the fire jumps around us
And just swallows
(yea-yea-yeah)
So good
My love
I can't change the cruel one mistake (break it world)
I can't change the cruel one mistake (oh baby)
I've been made a fool, it's all my fault (everybody)
If I am a fool, it's on myself
Yeah, bring it your worst
Celebrate, round and round
Stay jolly, round the fire baby
Ground solid, I don't celebrate
Tear me away, tear me away
I will wa-a-alk a-alone
Tear me away, let me go
Turn me around
Break it out and fight the war
Tear it out and wash the floor
Break it out and fight the war
Tear it out and wash the floor
Etymology[edit]
The track title can be split into 3 parts: the prefix 'z29', the digits '20130117', and the letters 'battle'. The significance of the letters is obvious; the digits can be interpreted as the date 2013/01/17, or the 17th of January 2013, the date in which the track was recorded or mixed.
The track is one of several in the XenobladeX Original Soundtrack beginning with 'z' and a number (possibly followed by 'b'). The significance of this is that the composer Hiroyuki Sawano gives codenames to tracks before he properly titles them: a letter/abbreviation followed by a number, where the letter/abbreviation corresponds to the soundtrack in question. In the case of Xenoblade Chronicles X, this letter was 'z' (Xenoblade X's Japanese name, ゼノブレイドクロス, can be romanised as Zenobureido Kurosu). The number corresponds to the ordering in which tracks were composed. 'z29' is a holdover from this codename.
Therefore, 'z29ba2t0t1l301e17' decodes into 'The 29th track composed for Xenoblade X, battle theme, recorded/mixed on the 17th of January 2013'.
