Can anyone make sense of the lyrics in the main theme of the game?
Edit: removed my old guess about the words to get more visibility to the actual lyrics.

That does make a lot more sense.Originally Posted by Smilies2013 Go to original post
I still find it hard to hear that part as more than a jumbled mess of words.
I think the "like it's ahead of the evolution" is either "life's ahead of evolution" or "like it's ahead of evolution." I'm not hearing that "the" that you are.Originally Posted by moldy_tomato Go to original post
I'm almost 100% sure that the bit you're having trouble understanding is "Slay your darkest fear; Down the narrow tracks you steer."
Hope that helps.

What I was thinking is if it's referring to the last part, and the fusion of man and machine would either mean the man being the biker and the machine being the bike, or a cyborg, which would be beyond evolution, and the previous game also being Evolution, Trials Fusion would be ahead of Trials Evolution.Originally Posted by CapnHulk Go to original post
If it's "Life is ahead of evolution", well... I don't really see any meaning in that, not that there has to be any meaning in a song's lyrics.
The "the" typed between "of" and "evolution", to me it's like if I try to hear it without it, it feels that there is also something else in it, but if I try to hear it with the "the", I can't hear it anymore.
To try to make more sense of it, I listened to it at half speed and I still keep hearing that "th" sound.
...actually, now that I read TheRealTeeHill's post and listened to it again, I can no longer hear it as anything else than "lightyears"
Those words I can clearly identify. Yes it helps. Thanks.I'm almost 100% sure that the bit you're having trouble understanding is "Slay your darkest fear; Down the narrow tracks you steer."
Hope that helps.
I wish there was an official source for the lyrics of not just this one, but the songs in Evolution too, since everyone seems to hear the words differently.
Hi guys! Audio Designer here.
The correct lyrics for the theme song are:
Welcome to the future
Man, machine, the fusion
Welcome to the future
Lightyears ahead of evolution
Slay your darkest fear
Down the narrow tracks you steer
The game's composer Petri Alanko has confirmed these.
PS. This is my first post on these forums (yay!) I'll try to answer more audio related questions here from now on. You can also find me on Twitter @Wilppe.
Thanks for the confirmation!Originally Posted by Wilppe Go to original post
