Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is elusive, it's nowhere to be found
Yea the truth can never be written down
It's not in any magazine
You can't see it on your TV screen
Truth
Got it straight, you think but then it all cracks
Wide open, you can search the world far and wide
The only truth that you can ever find
Is
In another
A soul that's got the same burning need
To find out what's
Neath the cover-up
The one can't be without the true other
So let's get torether,
See what we can uncover
One
That defines your world
Gives you truth and life
One
That excess
Special enough to guide your way through
This shadow world
I've tired
To imagine what it'd be like without
Knowing you are always right by my side
No doubt I
Can't imagine not knowing trust like
I know with you
Lies
Come in many forms
And some look like truth
But we won't let that confuse me & you
We found a way to see what's right for ourselves
We found our truth in
Someone else, we got
Faith
In each other
Our souls have got the same burning need
To find out what's
Neath the cover-up
The one can't be without the true other
So let's get together, see what we can uncover
Let
There be someone there
That shares truth and love
Who
Really cares
& Knows we can only share our truth through
One
That defines your world
Gives you truth and life
One
That excels
Special enough to guide your way through
This shadow world
Let
There be someone there
That shares truth and love
Who
Really cares
& Knows we can only share our truth through
One
That defines your world
Gives you truth and life
One
That excels

The song Shadow World by 目黒将司 discusses the concept of truth, its supposed elusiveness and how it can be found in others. The lyrics begin by stating that truth cannot be written down, seen on television or found in magazines. Although someone may possess facts, it may all fall apart, and the only way to find truth is in another person who shares the same burning need to uncover what's beneath the cover-up. The song emphasizes the importance of finding someone who cares and is special enough to guide you through the shadow world.
The song continues with the belief that lies exist in many forms and can be confusing. However, the singer and the other person have found a way to see what is right for themselves through faith in each other. Together they have discovered their truth in someone else. The lyrics conclude by reinforcing the idea that finding that one person who gives you truth and life and excels enough to guide you through the shadow world is critical.
One interesting fact about the song is that it was written as the opening theme for the anime series "Persona: Trinity Soul." Additionally, the composer of the song, Shoji Meguro, is a well-known composer for his work on various anime series and video games, including the Persona series. The song's somber tone and lyrics contrast with the upbeat and fast-paced nature of the show. The song is known for its remarkable chorus, which is believed to be its most potent and memorable feature. This song was also featured at the end of the 2014 American action movie John Wick. According to some critics, the song's lyrics fit the themes of John Wick's revenge story.
Chords (as interpreted by UltimateGuitar):
Verse: C, Am, F, G
Chorus: F, G, C, Am, F, G, Am, G
Bridge: F, G, Am, G
So overall, Shadow World is a somber song with deep lyrics that focuses on the idea of truth and finding it within oneself through the connection with someone else. The song's catchy chorus and its use in popular media have helped it achieve greater popularity.

@Mngalahad
skirmich by the way guys, i would reccomend you guys shin megami tensei nocturne.
the game is much more similar to pokemon than the persona franchise:
you can use 4 demons at the same time, its the same as the personas from persona 3 and 4, stat increases and decreases remain until someone is switched out or use dekaja or dekunda.
also, the effective towards types of attacks changes from demon to demon, it isnt like pokemon where every fire type is weal to water, to put an example.
the customization of each demon is WAY more free than personas or pokemon and if you are capable of understanding the mechanics of the game, you will find it pretty easy.
not because it was made easy but if you use strategically everything that is at your disposal, you will win, theres no bullshit here.
in quite a few ways, i enjoyed more shin megami tensei nocturne more than persona. the game really makes an amazing jobs letting you know where to go. of all the things in the game, i only needed a guide for 3 minor things.
the optional stuff is a lot of fun and SPOILERS:
Dante is in the game and is playable.

@TheFinalBo33
One of the rare games I loved the whole main cast. It's hard to make a list but I'll try.
1. Yosuke (this dude is like me, fun, jokester, almost carefree but can be serious when necessary)
2. Teddie (He's a sour patch kid, first sour then sweet, funniest and most adorable of all characters)
3. Naoto (badass character, the adult of the group, only mature member outside of Yu)
4. Yu (the cool guy of the group that others look up too)
5. Rise (female version of teddie but famous lol)
6. Yukiko (laugh at stupid shit causes me to laugh, very infectious)
7. Kanji (hilariously easy to get him to blush, cool dude)
8. Chie (tomboy, pushy, attitude but voice pushed her this low for me lol)

You know how so many movies try and fail to balance light-hearted and grim tones? P4 is the gold standard.
