Solid Snake
Can you hear what I'm saying?

All this time to kick 'em at it, watch your back,
I'm gonna kick your ass, speed 'em, kill 'em all

Don't know what I'm gonna do,
D-don't know what I'm gonna do,
Don't know what I'm gonna do,
D-don't
Ah!

I didn't think it'd be like this





Metal Gear

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Metal Gear Solid Main Theme are typically instrumental, but this remix includes some interesting additions. The repetition of "remix" throughout the beginning of the song serves to emphasize the fact that this is a remix, and also adds a bit of playfulness to the song. The repetition of "Solid Snake" in the same rhythm provides a perfect introduction to the character, as if the person singing is summoning him. The line "Can you hear what I'm saying?" adds a sense of urgency to the song, and emphasizes the importance of Snake's mission.


The following lines are a bit more violent, as they describe Snake's need to "kick 'em at it" and "kill 'em all." These lyrics fit well with the tone of the game, which involves combat and espionage. However, the singer then expresses uncertainty with the repeated phrase "Don't know what I'm gonna do." This emphasizes the difficult decisions Snake has to make throughout the game, as he balances his mission with his morals.


Overall, these added lyrics provide a bit of personality to the already iconic Metal Gear Solid theme. By adding vocals, the remix adds a layer of emotion and urgency to the song, while the repeated phrases serve to reinforce the character and his mission.
