Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's always with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin
At school they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed
They didn't quite succeed
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin
Father, forgive me, I tried not to do it
Turned over a new leaf, then tore right through it
Whatever you taught me, I didn't believe it
Father, you fought me, 'cause I didn't care
And I still don't understand
So I look back upon my life
Forever with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to - it's a sin
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin

When I look back upon my life
Reflecting on my past experiences
It's always with a sense of shame
I feel guilty and embarrassed of my actions
I've always been the one to blame
I take full responsibility for my choices and actions
For everything I long to do
Whatever I desire to accomplish or achieve
No matter when or where or who
Regardless of the circumstances, place, or people involved
Has one thing in common, too
These desires share a similar quality or characteristic
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
They are considered morally wrong or unacceptable
Everything I've ever done
All my past actions
Everything I ever do
Any action I may take in the present or future
Every place I've ever been
Anywhere I have visited or lived in the past
Everywhere I'm going to
All the places I plan to visit or live in the future
At school they taught me how to be
I was educated on how to act and behave
So pure in thought and word and deed
To be morally upright in my thoughts, speech, and actions
They didn't quite succeed
However, I did not fully live up to those standards
Father, forgive me, I tried not to do it
I ask for God's forgiveness for attempting to avoid such actions
Turned over a new leaf, then tore right through it
Although I made a fresh start, I soon returned to my old ways
Whatever you taught me, I didn't believe it
I did not have faith in or trust the teachings I received
Father, you fought me, 'cause I didn't care
God challenged me because I lacked the will or concern to change
And I still don't understand
I remain baffled and confused by my actions and their consequences
So I look back upon my life
I reflect on my past experiences once again
Forever with a sense of shame
I will always feel guilty and embarrassed of my past actions
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
These actions are considered morally wrong or unacceptable
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
Once again, my actions are considered morally wrong or unacceptable

I just LOVE the way the actual battle theme comes in the middle of the 8-bit version.

Sonia Dumet Double echo... heh similar to how the primal ost from ORAS is used...
There is a legendary remix, but its only used for rayquaza... the 2 primal forms get a remixed version, using both osts.

That profile pic angers me DMC devil may cry sucks
idklol
i hate it. i wanted an 8 bit version not a remix with the real thing mixed in. it ruins it and defeats the purpose so i end up having to restart the video

I love that you did this without using any expansion chips. When you can capture the essence of a piece using just four voices, that takes talent and creativity.

This is absolutely brilliant! Your 8-bit remix sounds incredibly accurate to the original composition! I really like how you effectively used Famitracker's instruments for an authentic 8-bit vibe. I also like how you eventually added the original arrangement of the song half-way through. It really gives off an Anamanaguchi/Scott Pilgrim vibe. Well done!

I got chills when the orchestra joined in. That's how good this was.
SkepticalFox
You know it's an amazing song when it still sounds wonderful in 8-bit form! I bet if this was back in 1990, everyone would say this is the best theme ever.
