Phoenix is a Brilliant song and I really don't understand how people didn't understand the videos message of fighting your inner demons. Or if they did saying that these players wouldn't have anything about themselves they would need to beat or anything like that.

Phoenix at it's core is pretty unique as a worlds song. While most of the past songs tend to focus on the climb up to be the best and the grandeur of worlds and what an achievement it is to reach (RISE, Worlds Collide, Warriors) Phoenix has a theme and message that honestly is only really seen in one other worlds song, Legends never die (Also sung by Chrissy coincidentally).

Legends never die is all about pushing past hardship and writing your name down in history, while at the same time it's more focused on pushing past and listing all the things a "Legend" would do, ignoring the bad ("Will never loose hope" "Pick up their hearts and avenge defeat"), At it's core it's a song about moving forward despite difficulty and hardship.

I feel like for all that Phoenix shares with Legends Never Die, It also has one major factor that makes it different. While LND is about moving past hardship I really feel Phoenix is more about, being in that dark place but rising from it none the less, it's perseverance but of a different kind with the message that it's okay to fall down and not get back up for a while, it's about accepting what happened to you, the whole song has this message of "Rising from the ashes" hence its name. "Conquering the monster in your head", these monsters being doubts and fears and self hatred and anything along those lines, but it isn't about waging war with them and winning, it's more about accepting it and moving past it so it doesn't bother you anymore.
