For True Story

"For True Story" is a song from the game Sonic Adventure 2. It is played during the final fight between Sonic and Shadow. It was performed by Everett Bradley.

The song has been remixed and plays during the rival battle between Modern Sonic and Shadow in Sonic Generations, with much clearer lyrics.

Lyrics

Stars don't twinkle

The moon doesn't shine

Stars don't twinkle

The moon doesn't shine
Stars don't twinkle

The moon doesn't shine

Stars don't twinkle

The moon doesn't shine
Birds don't sing

The wind doesn't blow

To the pure body

To the perfect existence
Birds don't sing

The wind doesn't blow

To the pure body

To the perfect existence
I'm shivering with cold

I struggle against despair
Stars don't twinkle

The moon doesn't shine

Stars don't twinkle

The moon doesn't shine
Stars don't twinkle

The moon doesn't shine

Stars don't twinkle

The moon doesn't shine
Birds don't sing

The wind doesn't blow

To the pure body

To the perfect existence
Birds don't sing

The wind doesn't blow

To the pure body

To the perfect existence
I'm shivering with cold

I struggle against despair

Connection to the character

To the pure body // To the perfect existence – A reference to either Shadow's status as the Ultimate Lifeform or to Sonic's status as the fastest Hedgehog alive.
I'm shivering with cold // I struggle against despair – Both Sonic and Shadow are fighting in space against each other, with Sonic in particular attempting to stop Eggman's plan, and Shadow trying to stop Sonic from stopping the aforementioned plan.
Stars don't twinkle // The moon doesn't shine // Birds don't sing // The wind doesn't blow – Most likely a reference to the fact that they are fighting in space, and that the Eclipse Cannon had blown apart half of the moon.
