Come on and light the fuse,
He's a rocket and he's ready to go!
'Cause now the countdown has started,
And he's ready to blow!
He's got the dope sounds pumping in a stereo ("eo!")
He can act fast,
Putting on a show!

Go on and get yourself together
There's no time to rest,
And if you put the time in
He'll put you to the test!
He's like a "runnin' man"
In his world, "more" is "less"!
And if you wanna test him, best bring your best.
Don't make me spell it out;
Bring your best!

In this world (HIS WORLD!)
Where life is strong,
In this world (HIS WORLD!)
Life's an open book!
In this world (HIS WORLD!)
Where compromise does not exist,
In this world of worlds, every step meets the rest!

In this world (HIS WORLD!)
Where one is all,
In this world (HIS WORLD!)
Never fear the fall!
In this world (HIS WORLD!)
Where compromise does not exist,
In this world of worlds, every step meets the rest!

Runnin' it back again
Well, whatcha expect?
Comin' out to win ten outta ten
Got a real rough neck!
Spikes up it's slippery, he straps on his shoes
'Cause he's the best there ever was
Haven't-cha heard the news?!

Intergalactic, continental, champ running things,
Hyperactive, instrumental, in pulling strings!
He is the one who understands
When the tides will swing,
So he's breaking down doors, never following!

Come on and psyche yourself up,
'Cause it's time to play!
Bounce to the beats and the rocks,
'Cause they're here to stay!
The one and only never cored man,
Living the day.
Blowing up, coming fast
And he'll blow you away!

Because the pressures of this world,
They can take the toll,
And it's time to get away
When they take a hold
The only way to break free
Is to break the mold!
You can't stop now, lock and load!
Don't stop now, come on rock and roll!

In this world (HIS WORLD!)
(Gotta make your own way!)
Where life is strong,
In this world (HIS WORLD)
(Life is just a game you play)
Life's an open book!
In this world (HIS WORLD!)
(Nothing's forever here to stay!)
Where compromise does not exist
In this world of worlds, every step meets the rest!

In this world (HIS WORLD!)
(Gotta make your own way!)
Where one is all,
In this world (HIS WORLD!)
(Life is just a game you play!)
Never fear the fall!
In this world (HIS WORLD!)
(Nothing's forever here to stay!)
Where compromise does not exist,
In this world of worlds, every step meets the rest!

=INSTRUMENTAL=

Light the fuse, Sonic's rockin'
And he's ready to go
Cause now the countdown has started
and he's ready to blow! (to blow! ...blow)
(IN HIS WO~ORLD!)(WHERE ONE IS ALL!) (is all ...all)

Intergalactic, continental, champ running things
Hyperactive, instrumental, in pulling strings! (strings! ...strings!)
(IN HIS WO~ORLD!)(NEVER FEAR THE FALL!) (the fall, the fall, the fall!)

(IN HIS WO~ORLD!)
The only way to break free is to break the mold!
You can't stop now, lock and load! (HIS WORLD!)
I said you can't stop now lock and load! (HIS WO~ORLD!)
Don't stop now, come on and rock and roll!

    I see it as a warning, somewhat that in 'His World', you must be careful, with the lyrics such as "Watch your Step!". As most of us know, Sonic games have a tendancy of enemies sneaking up on you, which is similar to this.

    I could be wrong, but ah well.

    I feel it's about breaking free of your troubles and showing the world your own way. I like the part right after the guitar solo.

    This ones more about watching your back. If you leave without a fail-safe, your friends won't be there to catch you all the time. Learn to stand on your own.

    "Watch you step now, watch your step don't fall!" Says it all. Its telling you to just watch what you do, and keep having all the fun you can. Its this world, but it should be your world.

    amazing song, but i swear the lyrics are "If you leap without and edge you'll find, it won't be there all the time." it makes much more sense that way to me.

    I like Orange's and Twilight's description. I also kinda agree with Jorda. In fact, I didn't think the song really matched Sonic at all, until I thought of the song as not about Sonic (like in the other games), but from Sonic's perspective telling others to not be too careful, afterall, he's a carefree person and takes things as they come. The line to me "When you leave without a net you'll find, They won't be there all the time" meant if you're overly cautious and worry a lot and always have to have your "safety net", you'll eventually have to realize the world isn't full of safety nets, and you'll have to learn to live without them. Then the repeated phrases "Watch your step!" are the annoying, worry-some people who are always concerned with what may happen instead of what is happening right now, and "Don't turn around" is Sonic saying when times are tough, don't fret about what's behind you; just focus on what's ahead. And again, this song as a whole is about breaking free and doing things your own way, and not letting anything or anyone get in your face.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
