"Destati" is a song featured in the Kingdom Hearts series. Like "Dearly Beloved," variations of "Destati" are used throughout the Kingdom Hearts series.

In Italian, Destati is an imperative to "awaken!" It accompanies the conflict of light over darkness, a major theme in the series.

Appearances [ edit ]

"Destati" was first used in early commercials for Kingdom Hearts. For the game, it serves as the battle theme during the Dive into the Heart opening section, as well as the first Darkside boss fight.

In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix, the Drammatica variant of "Destati" is heard in A Fragmentary Passage.

"Destati" is primarily used as a Raid Boss boss battle theme against Darkside, but is also used in cutscenes.

Cutscenes [ edit ]

Opening: "Darkside"

Composition [ edit ]

"Destati" is approximately two minutes and fifty-five seconds in Kingdom Hearts. In the HD remake of Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, the piece is slightly shortened to two minutes and fifty-three seconds. In the Drammatica album, the piece is three minutes and twenty-one seconds.

Variations [ edit ]

The songs below are based on the main themes of "Destati."

"Dive into the Heart -Destati-" is featured as the field theme for Dive to the Heart in both Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II, as well as when selecting a character in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep (which fittingly, occurs in the Dive to the Heart). A faster-paced version with the same name was used for the battle theme in Kingdom Hearts.

"Fragments of Sorrow" is the battle theme for End of the World in Kingdom Hearts and for Dive to the Heart in Kingdom Hearts II.

"End of the World" is the field theme for End of the World.

"Guardando nel buio" is the boss theme for the last battle against World of Chaos.

"Darkness of the Unknown," although mainly based on the song Another Side, contains a brief element from "Destati," which plays from the 4:36 to 4:45 mark. This song plays during the final battle against Xemnas.

"Dismiss," the boss theme for Aqua's final battle against Terra-Xehanort in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, uses elements from both "Destati" and "Fate of the Unknown."

A fuller, bolder version of "Destati" appears in Drammatica, which features Yoko Shimomura's most popular works. The last part of this variant track appears in the ending of A Fragmentary Passage.

"L'Eminenza Oscura I" and "L'Eminenza Oscura II" both contain elements of previous Destati-themed tracks, these being "Guardando nel buio" and "Dismiss," respectively.

"The Eye of Darkness," the boss theme for Riku's final battle against the Armored Ventus Nightmare in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance is a highly percussive remix of the original "Destati" track, featuring a fuller rhythm section, chimes, and brass, making it sound much grander than the standard theme.

Lyrics [ edit ]

Original Italian lyrics [ edit ] Destati!

Tendi la mano!

È giunta l'ora,

Destati

Le porte verranno schiuse

Destati, Destati, Destati

Su rimembra tu trepida!

Su sveglia! Ehi ricorda!

Destati! Destati!

Forza, tendi la mano!

Destati! Destati!

È giunta l'ora!

E ancora una volta

Apriranno le porte!

Su rimembra tu trepida!

Su sveglia! Ehi ricorda!

Eh? Come? Non lo vuoi!?

Tuttavia t'appartiene

Ciò che hai perduto

Diventerà uno solo!

English translation [ edit ] Awaken!

Hold out your hand!

The time has come,

Awaken

The doors will be parted

Awaken, Awaken, Awaken

Come on, remember, you who tremble!

Come on, wake up! Oh, remember!

Awaken! Awaken!

Come on, hold out your hand!

Awaken! Awaken!

The time has come!

And once again

They will open the doors!

Come on, remember, you who tremble!

Come on, wake up! Oh, remember!

Eh? What? You do not want it!?

Still it belongs to you

What you have lost

Will become one!



Albums [ edit ]

Trivia [ edit ]

According to Kingdom Hearts Ultimania, "Destati" is somewhat a "cursed song." Since the chorus is often used in other pieces, whenever the chorus is loaded by Square Enix staff, something bad happens, an example being the entire building's electricity getting cut off.[1]
