Sonic Heroes
Mooki Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What goes up must come down
Yet my feet don't touch the ground
See the world spinning upside down
A mighty crash without a sound
I can feel your every rage
Step aside, I'll turn the page
Breaking through your crazy maze
Like a laser beam, my eyes on you

Watch me rule the night away
Watch me save the day
Feel my storm is getting close
Headed your way

Sonic heroes, Sonic heroes
Bind you, confine you
Defying your reign
Sonic heroes, Sonic heroes
Setting the stage
For a heroes parade

I won't even hesitate
A second left to alter fate
And you try to strike but a bit too late
I got you hooked by my own bait

Watch me rule the night away
Watch me save the day
Feel my storm is getting close
Headed your way

Sonic heroes, Sonic heroes
Bind you, confine you
Defying your reign
Sonic heroes, Sonic heroes
Setting the stage
For a heroes parade

You can bet there ain't no doubt
As the words spill from the mouth
Of a hero
I can chase another day
Fight you all the way
Like a hero
And together we stand tall
No matter how
No one can bring us down

Sonic heroes, Sonic heroes
Bind you, confine you
Defying your reign
Sonic heroes, Sonic heroes
Setting the stage
For a heroes parade

Sonic heroes
Sonic heroes




Give us a reason
And we're on our way

What goes up must come down
Everything that rises must decline


Yet my feet don't touch the ground

The impact of my actions will be felt even though they may not be audible
