I never know what to expect from the songs with entirely Japanese lyrics from games I know absolutely nothing about. Dye: WTF B was definitely a pleasant surprise, primarily for how complex the lyrics are. They appear to be largely metaphorical, talking about the purity of white flowers and how easily they are tainted by other colors, but how white also already contains all other colors within it. Dye falls into the category of "songs with ridiculously complex and complicated backstory that I'm not even going to begin to try and process" but I can still get a powerful glimpse into the emotions at play here. The song comes across as much more sad than villainous. While it takes a very dark turn - the talk of flowers and "Brooklets, grass and trees" eventually turns to "Hatred, rage, destruction, Calamity, conflict, fear, death" with little transition - it ultimately seems to view the darkness with regret, insisting that there's a peaceful, unstained white flower still at the heart of it all. It's moving, and while it's not the type of song I typically go for, I really dig the path the song takes.

Mostly unrelated, you could've told me this was from the Nier: Automata soundtrack and I totally would've believed you.
