hello #dottotwt this is an account dedicated to Dottore’s themes! posts daily-ish with a portion from one of his jaw-dropping, drool inducing, mesmerizing, perfect perfect themes…
don’t be shy give a listen ‧₊˚ ♫
There, you have it: as stated in that vid, Dottore thinks of himself as a Boddhisatva, i.e. someone who reached enlightenment & helps others accomplish that.
But that requires ego death.
What is Dottore's OST about? Why is the leitmotif repeated again and again?
Ego. Pure ego.
To explain further: This track and Prajna both use this motif to make the point that Dottore is a character full of ego, to the point where it actively stops him from properly transcending. It repeats over and over with little melodic variation.
And yet it almost completely disappears at the end of this cutscene; leaving us with only the chords. His "ego" is gone.

Cast off this cumbersome life, and remain in that eternal instant of evil.
Forsake these ancient shackles, and descend into a funeral forged by true flame.

The heretic has always indulged the wildest reaches of delusion, until they twist and coil into an inescapable prison.
Where countless broken souls converge, he shall hear the verdict of his own soul.

The scholar decried the folly of the masses, yet forgot that restraint is itself a form of wisdom.
