The Theme
E.V.O. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She said she's on a mission to
Find a seed planet and smoke it
I don't know who she is
But she has my face and name around her neck
Imma use your body for science
To see who could get the highest
There's no need to worry put your fears in me
Her name was ENVI
The highest fish on her planet
But they took her for granted
Now she's looking at me high as fuck




Telling me to roll another one for you and me
There's something you need to see

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of E.V.O.'s The Theme seems to tell a story about a girl named ENVI who is on a mission to find a particular seed planet and smoke from it. The singer of the song is not familiar with ENVI, but she has a necklace with his face and name around her neck. The singer then reveals that he wants to use ENVI's body for science to see who could get the highest. He assures her that there is no need to worry and that she can put her fears in him.


The song takes an interesting turn when ENVI tells the singer that she is the highest fish on her planet, but they took her for granted. She then urges the singer to roll another one and says that there's something he needs to see. This could be interpreted in different ways, but it seems that the singer is about to inherit the same fate as ENVI.

These lyrics really hit hard

"I CAME HERE TO YELL MY LUNGS OUT AND LIFT MY SOUND,
SHAKE THE GROUND UNTIL THEY BREAK ME DOWN,
I'm a Resiliance, DISTILLIED, into brilliance,
ECHOING THROUGH THE MILLIONS WHO SPEAK SO LOUD,

I ain't come here to run, I came here to be greatest,
SO POINT ME TOWARDS the shadow of Hades and Imma face him,
multiply my courage by a hundred and one,
if you wanna kill my hype, you better burn out the sun,"

Having heard the announcement of EVO 2022 returning with a crowd, I was overcome with emotion that this made me realize how relevant the song is for the FGC despite all the terrible shit thrown at us from bad news to a global pandemic cancelling EVO 2020 and forcing the event to an online only event. I was severely burnt out from being a fan of fighting games due to where we are at right now, it did not help that a lot of personal struggles that sideswiped me too. However, I once again learned why I am one of the diehards for the genre in terms of passion and dedication to the games I buy and lab and play with friends in my local scene here in the Philippines. This was due to encouragement with the people I played with in the past and come this year: I am resolved to take my Fightpad and play against other players head to head once again. The comment @Imaznfoo wrote are the same sentiments that I have, one day I will be in EVO and dream to take on most of the best of the best from all corners of the world there.

When this year started, I discovered old videos of EVO from the early 00s and it made me appreciate this event even more.

Tokido said it best, "Fighting game is something so great".

Zed, its 6am here, and just the 1st 3 and a half minutes of your Evo song brought tears to my eyes....I'm a SF player, but I also inspire to be more, currently 350 pounds, and everyday I hear fat jokes, people telling me I can't be an MMA fighter, or anything even close to an athlete, but this morning, your words broke so many boundaries and opened me up. I can't stop the tears from falling...You've given me a new resolve. Thank you. Inspirational doesn't even explain the hope you've given me.

@jakubgnacy2725

How about an update, bro? How are you doing today?

@MaseNoKen

@Jakub Gnacy Well, lets see after this I did cut another 60lbs, and I've had 6 kickboxing bouts, and now I'm going to a school program to become a professional commentator for Esports. I appreciate you checking in! This takes me back!

@hasdachatlogs

🎉 Hell yea!! That's what's up!

@evidencedotzip

Today's EVO'14. This song still gives me the chills and makes me feel all of Daigo's parries, all of Justin's comebacks, PR Rog leaping out of his seat;



Suffice it to say: LET'S FUCKING GO!

@SoranErdeOld

Ten years later, this song is still going strong!

@fishez8dubs376

I will always love the line... "I ain't ready to risk it... But I'm not afraid to show I existed"

@TylerHyperFace

2022 check in... The days of Melee, UMVC, competitive SF... Loved this era 🙏

@wiimaster06

It doesn't matter how many times I hear this, it never fails to make me smile.
