Sanctuary Backwards? A hidden message?

[Tom 437]

We all heard of Sanctuary, the theme song for KHII and 358/2 Days. And you remember thoses gibberish parts where you can't understand? Well they are infact backwards. Here is the video, containing all of thoses backwards parts:

 

 

However, there might be a hidden message when the whole song is backwards. And you really have to read the lyrics:

 

 

Now I am not sure about theses lyrics being backwards, considering that a couple of them are just weird. Not only that, this is what people thought they heard...so yeah...but I still think it's a message.

 

BTW, I don't think that last part where Roxas is talking backwards doesn't really matter. It's just the singing part that matters

[Heartless666 14]

Well I think Utada is saying that defeating ansem was easy and they thought it was a dream because they finally defeated him but they got seperated. And in the time during KH they all grew up hence the part "we three all grew". It is sorta confusing but I kinda get it.

[Rose Riku 39]

Hahah.

 

I've seen this before.

 

I think it's epic.

hmm the ending was.. confusing what does it mean? a mirror?

[Deadshot 666]

I've seen this before it is pretty cool

[Misuzu 15]

I know everyone thinks there is a hidden message, but honestly people, would Nomura REALLY go that far as to writing lyrics that have meanings backward and forward? It's too much. I'm sure if everyone heard it first without the person putting subtitles you wouldn't have a clue what she's saying. The words make it seem like those are the words, when most of them don't even match the subtitle.

 

Although it's cool, I'm sure there isn't a hidden message.

[roxas is da one 1]

hmmmm a message he was ansem he was ansem was it easy?i think it means the story has just begun...?the ansem u knew was nothing ansem mirrors leading to the past come back sorry namine the mirrors it shall repeat again if u did not get what i said its my reason to this subject il explain it to u if u ask...one thing ansem is coming back....>.> srry but i just creeped my self out wathcing this here is a code... deracs mi >.>

[Sora96 17,256]

Kaiso is right but some parts u did understand but how can a song backwards make more sense then forward very strange

[xRayne93 10]

i think it sounds awesome both ways 8D @_@ haha~

[Koko 3,944]

Actually Sanctuary reversed is pretty much like Riku's side of the story in a way. And simple and clean reversed is Roxas's story I believe

[Arpeggio 0]

well.... as cool as it sounds, we all know it would be to hard to make a song that makes sense forward and backwards. its hard enough trying to write a song that makes sense forwardlol. this would be extremely hard without distorting the words that arent supposed to be backwards . and this song is almost five mins, and i think it would be impossible (literally) to make a song made comletely out of words that make sense backwards and forward, although i do believe the parts u cant understand are supposed to be backwards.

[X 1]

This is the lyrics that you cant understand:

 

Forward:

"wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I"

 

Backwards:

"I need more affection that you know"

 

Still doesnt think its meant to be backwards?

[Xenliad 0]

The "I need more affection than you know" is the only one that I understood without the subtitles.

[RoxSox 3,593]

I think that theres no way it can simply be coincidence how well when its backwards fits in with KH.... there has to be a point to this.... ....but, we may never know...

[Rixam 1]

I think it's all a coincidence. I read somewhere a couple of years ago that the only part that was supposed to mean something backwards was the "I need more affection than you know" part. So I think the rest is just a coincidence. We hear what we wanna hear,and we wanna hear something KH related.

I haven't heard that song reversed before so I can only say some things:

 

I think the song was supposed to be related to Kingdom Hearts when reversed so that people will not get confused and think "what does it have to do with KH?"

Or I'm wrong. That's all I can think of I haven't heard the song reversed before. Only today.

[Rose Riku 39]

Utada did: 'Wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I' in the English song on purpose. It is backwords for I need more affection than you know. Some people think that she's singing in Japanese at that part. It's not Japanese.

[SavageNymph 7]

thats my fave version of the song ^^ so different ;D

[Sorage55 10]

hmm the ending was.. confusing what does it mean? a mirror?

 

well, I may be a new member here, but this topic itself is very used to me. What i think of as a mirror to them, i guess would be that when Sora or Kiari lost their hearts, then gained them back, Namine and Roxas were made, Namine is like the mirrored or other version of Kiari. You look into a mirror, what do you see? Yourself, but its different-its the reversed image. You raise your right hand and the mirror self raises its left. etc. So when Sora says he is sorry...that might be because he unlocked his heart to unlock kiari's, by doing that...he made namine', and if it wern't for Namine' then probably the entire KH recom and recom rr, series wouldn't happen. At least...this is only my theory...

that was epic!

[ObsidianEagle 103]

I know that 'i need more affection that you know' where put there on purpose. but i don't think the other parts are real. because what are the chances in the song they would put:

 

i defeated ansem

was it easy

yeah

 

that's just not real at all.

someone else has my riku pic... i will go in the corner and cry...

[AnimePunk10 0]

i think it's about riku. Cause of the now sleep"He want sora to sleep in peace" and the i hear i was ansem and what not. but the song sounds kinda cool backwards

[gambler-of-fate 1]

I think its about roxas because at the end/beging he's talking to namine

[Heike 53]

maybe you are right

[DearlyBeloved 0]

I have seen that before, Its kinda intresting..
