So Ist Es Immer

The song So Ist Es Immer from Attack on Titan is in the key of E minor. It was composed by Hiroyuki Sawano as part of the soundtrack for the anime series, first appearing in the second season. The track features vocals by Benjamin and mpi, who often collaborate with Sawano on his vocal projects. A trivia point is that the lyrics mix German and English, a stylistic choice used frequently in Sawano's compositions for dramatic effect. The melody includes orchestral elements, strong percussion, and layered vocals, building tension and emotion with a cinematic structure and dynamic shifts in volume and intensity.
