"Thunder, rain and lightning"
Obviously, Chaos's storm, coming with his gathering of the Chaos Emeralds.
"Danger, water rising"
The flood from the fall of Angel Island.
"Clamour, sirens wailing"
The evacuation of Station Square.
"It's such a bad sign"
We can tell Chaos has gathered all seven emeralds, even without seeing for ourselves.
"Shadows of dark creatures"
Chaos, of course.
"Steel clouds, floating in the air"
Eggman's egg carrier.
"People run for shelter"
Need I say it?
"What's gonna happen to us?"
The confusion, knowing that destruction is coming.
"All the steps we take, All the moves we make; All the pain at stake"
What could happen if Sonic fails and Chaos is victorious.
"I see the chaos for everyone. Who are we? What can we do?"
Same as the last line, this time acknowledging that they are powerless in the face of perfect chaos.
"You and I are the same in the way that We have our own styles and we won't change. Yours is filled with evil, and mine is not; There is no way I can lose..."
Acknowledging that being on the side of good provides a powerful motivation that can not be stopped.
"Can't hold on much longer - But I will never let go"
There is no giving up, even when things get tough.
"I know it's a one way track - Tell me now how long this will last"
There's only one way to succeed, but it is excruciatingly hard.
"I'm not gonna think this way - Nor will I count on others"
Never think you're not strong enough; if you count on others, you admit to not giving it 110%.
"Close my eyes and feel them burn - Now I see what I gotta do"
Awakening yourself to the stress, and the situation.
"Open your heart, it's gonna be alright"
It's what you've got to keep telling yourself.
"Ancient cities blazing"
Referring to the burning of the Master Emerald's altar in the flashbacks throughout the story.
"Shadows keep attacking"
Referring to the men of the tribe of Echidnas trying to kill the Chao.
"Little children crying"
Tikal, begging her father to show mercy for the Chao.
"Confusion, hopeless anger"
The blind rage within Chaos that has turned him against humanity.
"I don't know why you got me But you drive me crazy. All your cunning tricks make me sick; You won't have it your own way"
Sonic says to Eggman: 'Why don't you ever give up? You'll never win.'
"If it won't stop, There will be no future for us. It's hearts tied down by All the hate, gotta set it free"
Need to calm chaos and end the destruction of the city.
Basically just gives a summary of Sonic Adventure. A very good one, too.
I'm going to do a typical analysis of this song.
