I never picked up on that at all. I'll give it another listen tonight. And no, what I'm saying is the Orchestral part is a completely stand-a-lone piece that derives none of its melodic content from anything that came before it or comes after it, which is why to me it sounds so out of context.
I ask as I'd consider the ambient and orchestral parts to be separate because there's a fair few minutes of chimes and such that acts as a cool down before the orchestra builds the texture back up to something more melodic (which imo makes sense, given that the prior 7 or so mins before the ambient section is extremely dense in terms of musical content). But yeah, take a listen to the first minute or so of the song and then listen out for the climax of the orchestral section. It's the exact same melody (it's that Tchaikovsky style thing) and when I hear it, it feels very deliberately placed in relation to the rest of the track.
I get what your saying, and that is right. I am talking about the Orchestral part and not the Ambient part.
I actually like that Ambient section, and I explained what I envision when I hear that section. It's a great way to represent the darkness of being alone. The light that opened up the heart is the Orchestral melody that reprises what the strings are playing in the intro.
The lyrics and music of Illumination Theory sort of relate in their meanings, as it's like they incorporated the structure around the lyrical meaning of the song. And placed the string section in the middle to symbolize the embrace. They structured it this way to give the lyrical concept more meaning, as the music during "The Embracing Circle" speaks for itself and doesn't need lyrics.
