LYRICS:

Where did I come from?
Why don't I remember?
The pieces of my past life,
Will never come together.
This is the promised time,
And a promise is forever.
The power inside me,
What is my adventure?

Who am I to be,
How do I proceed?
This is my disease.
(What is my adventure?)
Memories come to light,
Echoes in the mind,
What do I decide?
(Maria!)

Race the shadows trying to keep up,
Every step, I'm finding Maria.
Fight the fight, but what is the reason?
Every step, I'm finding Maria.

I've been told to lay waste to the world before me,
Plunge it into chaos to complete my story,
But what if that's not what I'm meant to do,
To enact revenge that was fabricated by you?
I got this image in my fading mind of a person,
With glimmering eyes, yeah, my purpose was certain,
She was the only one I was to protect,
So for her, I'll save the planet from your terrible threat.

Who am I to be,
How do I proceed?
This is my disease.
(Terrible threat)
Memories come to light,
Echoes in the mind,
What do I decide?

Race the shadows trying to keep up,
Every step, I'm finding Maria.
Fight the fight, but what is the reason?
Every step, I'm finding Maria.
I'm finding Maria.

(Guitar Solo)

Race the shadows trying to keep up,
Every step, I'm finding Maria.
Fight the fight, but what is the reason?
Every step, I'm finding Maria.

Race the shadows trying to keep up,
Every step, I'm finding Maria.
Fight the fight, but what is the reason?
Every step, I'm finding Maria.
I'm finding Maria.

Hi Shadow :) Fun song as always!!! Happy to help ♥

[SuperSonicFive]

Can we just appreciate coda for always showing up and absolutely serving every time with the animations? Genuinely impressive and needs recognition.

[Stuntshorts]

1:41 bro got his memories back right there and that lyric syncs well SHADOW IS SOOOO SICK A TRUE BADASS

[VictorMcKnight]

Heck yeah! Super happy to see more Sonic songs from you, Charlie!!

“Just try to keep up.”

[guildtestlelokoi]

Shadow:Hows tom?
Sonic: Better than maria 💀

[LoganPettipas]

Been so hyped for this ever since it was announced, and seeing my top 2 artists on Spotify working together is so cool, and THE ANIMATION?! Absolute fire!! 🔥🔥🔥🗣🗣🗣

[invisiblemortal]

This song perfectly captures Shadow's whole arc and character. Struggle hidden within violence and a desperate reach for something that's gone. Well done CG5!!

[StixMaxANIMATION]

OH MY GOSH CG5 IT'S BEEN 4 MONTH WHERE IS MARIA?!?!!

[JJCraft]

Wonderful song! Reminds me of the good ol’ days!

[Noia_Drac]

This song is just PERFECT, from the lyrics to the music production, the video is amazing too! great job CG5 and Coda!

[MrFoxyYTOfficial]

I always liked shadow long time ago, he always been my favourite character, seeing CG5 making a song about him just melts my heart. Thank you CG5 for dropping this banger.

[Springy]

The way coda did the fur on his body is perfect and AMAZING song great job cg5 and coda!👏

[smile_rel]

its like soo emotional for a real sonic fan.. i was crying

[ChaiTea]

I like how Maria could be interpreted as home or happiness. Shadow deals with so much, and he doesn't know happiness and doesn't know what home is, so Maria is that symbol for him, even if he doesn't know

[locogato]

This is so touching, it gave me chills man. The representation of Shadow's story through Coda's animation and Charlie's song is beautiful. Fantastic job guys, absolutely love this ❤🖤

[skyenight-byyh]

As a brand new Sonic fan (and Shadow being in my Top 3), I love this is about Shadow finding his “Maria”, or his empathetic side that Maria brought out. 😅

Amazing visuals as well! CODA deserves all the amazing credit here! 😁👏

[mjluigi]

THIS WAS INCREDIBLE!!! Definitely will be stuck in my head for a while.

[kate_evergreen]

Such a compelling masterpiece. The music, the lyrics, the vocals, the visuals. You really grasped who Shadow is as a character and his internal struggles between being Black Doom's herald and following Maria his guiding light.

[HarrisonLindner]

Hearing CG5 rap about Shadow the Hedgehog is one of the greatest things my ears have ever heard, also you were my top artist on Spotify and I listened to you for 9, 608 minutes
