"'''Destati'''" ({{LangIta|Awaken!}}) is a musical composition by Yoko Shimomura that appears in the {{c|Kingdom Hearts|series|''Kingdom Hearts'' series}}. It is a recurring theme that represents [[darkness]] and its eternal conflict with [[light]].
'''"Destati"''' is a song featured in the ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|series}}'' 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.

"Destati" is the battle theme of the [[Dive to the Heart]] in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''.
"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.

===Variations===
===Variations===
The songs below are based on the main themes of "Destati."
Elements of "Destati" are incorporated in many tracks throughout the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series:
 
*"[[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''. ''Kingdom Hearts III'' features a new variant labelled "Third Inception" and once again serves as the theme for [[Dive to the Heart]]. Portions of this version play when Sora confronts the [[Lich]] in the [[Final World]] and [[Darkside]] in [[Scala ad Caelum]].
 
*"[[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''.
 
*"{{c|End of the World|track}}" 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.
 
*"[[My Heart's Descent]]" is a more subdued, ethereal version of the first part of the original "Destati" track that plays during [[Riku]]'s literal Dive into Sora's heart right before the battle against the [[Armored Ventus Nightmare]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''.
 
*"[[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.


*"[[Dark Domination]]" combines "Destati" and ''[[Rage Awakened]]''. This song is played during the final battle against [[Master Xehanort]] and also plays during the fight against his armored replica in the [[Re:Mind]] scenario.

Original Italian lyrics

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

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!
