Lyrics 🐢🐢🐢:
You can relax, my friend
Huh?
I can tell you're getting nervous
So do yourself a service
And try to relax my friend
I'm fine, Polites
Think of all that we have been through
We'll survive what we get into
I know that you're tired of the war and bloodshed
Tell me, is this how we're supposed to live?
Look at how you grip your sword enough said
Why should we take when we could give?
You could show a person that you trust them
When you stop and lower your guard
Here we have a chance for some adjustment
Give it a try, it's not that hard
I'm telling you
This life is amazing when you greet it with open arms
Whatever we face, we'll be fine if we're leading from the heart
No matter the place, we can light up the world
Here's how to start:
Greet the world with open arms
Greet the world with open arms
Welcome
Stay back
Stay back
My friend, greet the world with open arms
We're only here for food
Food
Six hundred friends are waiting for us to show our faces
Food
Stay back, I'm warning you
If we don't get back safely, my men will turn this place into blazes
Here you go
See? This life is amazing when you greet it with open arms
Whatever we face, we'll be fine if we're leading from the heart
No matter the place, we can light up the world
Here's how to start:
Greet the world with open arms
Greet the world with open arms
My friend, I wish that I could say that I agree
But look at the way this fruit is glowing and filled with glowing seeds
It took me a while to notice what kind of fruit they eat
It's a lotus, it controls your mind and never lets you free
That's what we'd get with open arms
Lotus eaters, I'd like to show my friend that kindness is brave
Could you tell me where there's other food to eat?
The cave
A cave! You're saying there's a cave where we could feast?
And where do we sail to find this food-filled cave?
East
Thank you!
Welcome
This life is amazing when you greet it with open arms
I see in your face, there is so much guilt inside your heart
So why not replace it and light up the world
Here's how to start:
Greet the world with open arms
Greet the world with open arms
Greet the world with open arms
You can relax, my friend

“You can relax, my friend.”
Man, Odysseus *really* needed to hear that after ten years of war, and *especially* after “I’m just a man.”

Why is Polites' "Thank You" so innocent 😭🥺

[@kittycatzuka]

As someone who has trust issues, hearing Polites' words is healing. 😌

[@gilliancastle5106]

I love how most animations of this song depict the Lotus Eaters not as malicious humans, but instead as little guys who are high as a kite 24/7

[@Ren-ri5sd]

Polites is so cute lol his little “thank you” I wish we could’ve protected this little bean from what comes next

[@nutmeg418]

Am I mishearing the lotus eater that says "how dare you" when the rest reply "a cave!" ?? 😂

[@mariafernandaashidaquinone2298]

Is there something secret the Lotus eaters say in the echos? Particularly when they say "A cave" I can hear some vague echo saying something [...You]. Has someone else heard it?

[@jisreading]

I think it says "East, that way", but I could be wrong

[@kingdomheartshb95]

I hear it too and have been trying to figure that out! I can't find anything!

[@typhoontiak6213]

​@@kingdomheartshb95 they're saying "how dare you" likely in reference to Odysseus and Polites refusing their offer of lotus fruit.

[@MaryGrote-ii8gy]

I tried to blink back tears because I heard the underworld before this.

[@Milothebunnyyy]

I love polites so muchhhh

But why do I have visuals for every song lol

Same, but my aus that I’m probably never gonna share that are made of different fandoms 🫠

[@lovinlivinfeelinggreat552]

I live this song so much! Polites is my favorite because of this song and he has my mentality❤❤❤

[@reipigglet]

I want to sing this to my gf cuz she stresses a lot and even tho I am a pessimist I want her to learn how to relax and this is exactly what I want to tell her but I could never put it into words, but now I can sing this to her!

[@Ye1diamondOfficial]

I just realized that lotus eater who speaks just after the others is saying "scary cave". Oof...

[@kennyd7919]

This wasnt my favorite song before listening to the underworld but it makes me tear up just hearing polities voice knowing his fate

[@dakodavarney6932]

Does one of the lotus eaters say "I cant hear you" when they talk about the cave??????

[@lovinlivinfeelinggreat552]

I thought I heard that!!😂

[@solangelo4]

They say "scary cave," which I think is a reference to the cyclopes

[@weirdo325-yzsx]

No it says 'How dare you', well, I think so, sure sounds like it

[@queenchrysalismusicdiscont6762]

Tbh they both have very good points in this song. There’s times where it’s beneficial to “greet the world with open arms” like Polites and there’s times where its beneficial to be defensive and on edge like Odysseus. Odysseus has a good point that’s it’s not always a good idea to be kind and just trust anyone you meet but Polites also has a good point that you shouldn’t always judge a book by its cover and some people are worth trusting.

[@Just-An-Internet-Gal]

This and Warrior of the Mind are my favorites

[@Just-An-Internet-Gal]

I'm a liar. At the time I had not heard Wouldn't You Like. I love ya Athena... but Hermes.

[@monarchminnie5827]

Polites this is all your fault. If you hadn’t tried to change our boy he would have killed the cyclops (probably) and gotten home on time!

[@darlendiejean2361]

Letting the cyclops live was not the problem, he just needed to not tell the cyclops his name!!

[@XxFxiry_ClaraxX]

1:29
"if we dont get back safely, my men will turn this place into blazes!"
that shows Odysseus men are loyal and odysseus even said his men are willing to burn an entire island just to know where he and another memeber is being held or is,
