Yeah, the truth can never be written down
That is not in any magazine
You can't see it on your TV screen
Truth is evasive, though you might have the facts
Got it straight, you think but then it all cracks
Wide open, you can search the world far and wide
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 together, see what we can uncover
One that defines your world, gives you truth and life
One that excels, special enough to guide your way through
This shadow world
I've tried 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 and 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 and 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

This shadow world
The lyrics of Shihoko Hirata's "Shadow World" convey the idea that truth is elusive and cannot be easily found or defined. The song suggests that the truth cannot be written down or found in mainstream media outlets. It encourages the listener to look beyond what is presented on TV screens or in magazines in order to discover the real truth.
The lyrics also highlight the challenging nature of discovering the truth. Although one might have the facts and think they have a clear understanding, the truth can suddenly unravel and reveal itself in unexpected ways. The song emphasizes the need to search far and wide for the truth, but ultimately suggests that the only truth that can be found is within the connection and shared experiences with another person.
The lyrics speak to the importance of finding someone with whom we share a deep connection and a burning desire to uncover the truth. It suggests that this connection is essential in navigating the "shadow world" and unraveling the cover-ups that exist. The song emphasizes that when two souls with the same drive come together, they can uncover the truth together and support each other.
The lyrics also express the significance of trust and faith in each other. By finding someone who shares the same burning need for truth, the lyrics imply that we can overcome the lies and confusion that exist in the world. It suggests that this shared trust and faith enable us to see what is right for ourselves and find our truth through someone else.
Ultimately, the song suggests that in this shadow world, it is crucial to have someone who shares truth and love, someone who genuinely cares and understands that our truth can only be shared through each other. This person defines our world, provides us with truth and guidance, and is special enough to navigate the complexities of this shadow world alongside us.

@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.

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)
