Lyrics

Waking up, breaking out

This is what it's like to be free

Rip it up, tear it down

This is what it means to be free

Jet sounds a distant roar behind you

As you try to clear your head

You start to look and answers find you

Your inner purpose lies ahead

Waking up, breaking out

This is what it's like to be free

Rip it up, tear it down

This is what it means to be free

Waking up, breaking out

This is what it's like to be free

Rip it up, tear it down

This is what it means to be free

One step to calm the storm inside you

Unlock the secrets in your head

Not another day, no more confusion

No more living like the dead

It seems it's just out of sight

The ones with answers always get their way

And I think they should know

That I'm coming for them

Now

Waking up, breaking out

This is what it's like to be free

Rip it up, tear it down

This is what it means to be free

Waking up, breaking out

This is what it's like to be free

Rip it up, tear it down

This is what it means to be free

Waking up, breaking out

This is what it's like to be free

Rip it up, tear it down

This is what it means to be free

Connection to Character

Waking up, breaking out- Shadow breaking free of his restraints.
Rip it up, tear it down- Shadow destroying Eggman to build his own empire.
As you try to clear your head- Shadow trying to remember his past.
Unlock the secrets in your head- Shadow trying to get Eggman to tell him who he is.
Your inner purpose lies ahead- Shadow finding out his true purpose.
One step to calm the storm inside you- Shadow mentions in his game that it feels something has begun to stir inside him.
The ones with answers always get their way- Eggman, Black Doom and the GUN Commander always getting their own way.
