Lyrics

A shadow of myself, just who am I?

Scan horizons

A tragic mystery

You could've left me here, sealed inside the pod

No one would ever know

The Chaos Control

My true identity

The power that is me
We all danced in fire

Trapped in this machine

Don't know how long we've waited

As the Eggman's watching
We all danced in fire

Looking through a screen

Don't know how long we've waited

As the Eggman watches
With Rouge in the fight - electric vibes

Change surroundings

A jewel in history

A treasure disappears - as she goes

Miss her as we look away - and no one knows

This power is a key

This power changes me
We all danced in fire

Trapped in this machine

Don't know how long we've waited

As the Eggman's watching
We all danced in fire

Looking through the screen

Don't know how long we've waited

As the Eggman watches
Chaos Control

Chaos

Chaos

Chaos

Chaos

Chaos Control
Chaos Control

Chaos

Chaos

Chaos

Chaos

Chaos Control
E-123

You didn't know - now I'm going to show you

The power that is me

You tried to take me down - stop the show

Seems you've never tasted fear - or loss of control

The power lives in me

The power that is me
We all danced in fire

Trapped in this machine

Don't know how long we've waited

As the Eggman's watching
We all danced in fire

Looking through the screen

Don't know how long we've waited

As the Eggman watches
(Ending electric noises)

Connection to Team

A shadow of myself, just who am I? - Shadow losing his memories.
Scan horizons - Shadow trying to get information about his past.
A tragic mystery - Shadow' tragic death at the end of Sonic Adventure 2, and his mysterious past.
You could have left me here, sealed inside the pod - Rouge finding the stasis pod and accidentally releasing Shadow from suspended animation.
We all danced in fire - The life-threatening situations they have all been in.
Trapped in this machine - Shadow trapped in the stasis pod and Omega trapped by computer programming, Rouge working for the 'machine' that is GUN.
Looking through a screen - Shadow through the glass of his stasis pod, Omega observing the world through a computer screen; metaphorically looking at the world through a 'screen' of dubious morals.
With Rouge in the fight, electric vibes change surroundings - Rouge's flirtatious personality being 'electric', or her electric attacks in-game.
A jewel in history - A metaphor for Rouge being something special, using a reference to her love of gems.
A treasure disappears, as she goes - Rouge being a spy and international jewel thief makes treasures disappear - also a reference to her skills, beauty and charms leaving big impressions.
This power is a key - Rouge is a key member of the team, also she released both Shadow and Omega.
This power changes me - A reference to Rouge changing the attitude of her teammates, and many others around her.
Chaos Control - Shadow's main ability.
You didn't know - now I'm gonna show you / The power that is me - Shadow to Omega, is going to show him his full potential, and by doing so help Omega realize his own.
You tried to take me down - stop the show - Omega trying to destroy Shadow when Rouge accidentally released him, or Omega being placed on standby with Shadow's pod by Dr. Eggman.
Seems you've never tasted fear - or loss of control - Omega being an inorganic member, as robots are stereotypically emotionless
The power lives in me - Chaos energy in Shadow, which fuels his powerful abilities.
The power that is me - Shadow's chaos energy is not merely a part of him, it is him.
