Into the Light
Into the Light is a song performed by Off the Hook.
Description
Into the Light is a mostly slow song played during the credits of the Octo Expansion. After an introduction of claps and finger clicks, the song opens with Pearl singing, with Marina eventually joining in as she sings the chorus on her own. Pearl then raps a section while Marina interjects a few lines. After this, the song changes to an electronic version of the intro and verse of Color Pulse, before Pearl and Marina sing the final chorus together.
Other versions
Into the Light (Live)
During live concerts starring only Off the Hook, a slightly extended version of Into the Light is used. Although each performance is different due to the live bands, they retain the same strong structure. Along with a general greater emphasis on the live instruments, the Color Pulse section of the track is altered to sound more distant and dream-like. There is also a longer pause before Marina starts singing again, which itself is also quieter before the final chorus, which plays twice.
Etymology
Into the Light is a reference to Agent 8 breaking out of both Octarian society and the Deepsea Metro and joining Inkopolis society, symbolized by the sun slowly rising during the credits sequence in which it plays.
