*Lyrics:*

(Of an absolution)
(And I dream...)
(Of an absolution)
In the night light do you see what you dream?
All your troubles, are they all what they seem?
Look around you then you may realize
All the preachers, all with their lies
And I might know of our future
But then you still control the past
Only you know if you'll be together
Only you know if we shall last

(Of an absolution)
In the night light do you still feel your pain?
For the valor you wait, it never came
If you were able, would you go change the past,
To mend a faux pas with one last chance?
And I might know of our future
But then you still control the past
Only you know if we'll be together tonight

'Cause every night I will save your life
And every night I will be with you
'Cause every night I still lay awake
And I dream of an absolution
'Cause every night I will make it right
And every night I will come to you
But every night it just stays the same
In my dream of an absolution

(Of an absolution)
In the night light do you see what you dream?
All your triumphs and all you'll ever be?
Look around you then you may realize
Happiness lies, trapped in misery
And who knows what of our future?We can all try to change the past
Only you know if you'll be together
Tonight

(Tonight)
'Cause every night I will save your life
And every night I will be with you
Cause every night I still lay awake
And I dream of an absolution
'Cause every night I will make it right
And every night I will come to you
But every night it just stays the same
In my dream of an absolution

(music break)

(Of an absolution)
'Cause every night I will save your life
And every night I will be with you
'Cause every night I still lay awake
And I dream of an absolution
'Cause every night I will make it right
And every night I will come to you
But every night it just stays the same
In my dream of an absolution

And you'll see
What you'll be
And you'll see
(Yeah)
All you can be
(Oh)
'Cause every night
And every night
And every night
I will dream

This theme feels so different than all the others. While Sonic themes are usually ones of hope and vigor, and Shadow has themes involving revenge and pain..

Silver’s is simply a song about comforting sadness. Hope found not in tainted reality, but deep in his dreams.

[DrunaChannel]

Y'know, when I was a kid, I actually thought this was the original version...

[interhistoria]

Silver (Archie Comics): "It's no use... I'm getting *really* sick of people saying that."

[nazek]

I swear Jun Senoue makes every song he touches twice as good.

[Jackson-hprt]

The nostalgia is heavy with this song. One of the first Sonic songs I heard.

[EclipseHedgehog]

The finale at 4:35 when LB is singing his soul out you can't help but feel it, its so powerful, almost like you can imagine Silver finally getting what he dreamed of (a bigger, brighter future) and crying his little heart in victory.

[smallpotato]

Dad: Turn that off.
Me: But why?

Dad: *we have bigger speakers downstairs*

[MattAce]

The best version of DREAMS OF AN ABSOLUTION!
The original has a feeling of sadness and hope, whereas this remix has a sense of excitement and triumph! And I love both versions a lot!

[loganfravel]

"I will protect the future!"
-Silver

[Meliora_Melody]

This just SCREAMS early 2000’s and i love it.

[Zark_]

it's 2024 and i LOVE this song. thanks god this game it's real

[Ollie.H-]

I don't care what people say, but if Sonic '06 didn't exist, then we wouldn't have this

[pastelbird]

I've been away from this whole franchise for a long ass time but gosh darn. I love this song so much.

And, however ashamed I am to admit it, I NEED more Silver.

[rescuerex]

I wish they'd make Silver Playable again he has such potential for interesting mechanics with his psychokinesis

[IonicSplash]

Silver reminds me so much of Future Trunks from Dragon Ball, it's criminal we don't see more of him. A Silver the Hedgehog game would be fire if done right.

[mysteryperson]

Okay stupid comment i'm aware but am i only one that really loves the line "happiness lies trapped in misery"
That is so fucking true most of the time.

[aweseome]

Man, SEGA's music teams really do go out of their way to make the best possible soundtracks for their games, no matter how bad they turn out (like 06), the soundtrack always slaps so hard.

[Thebes]

My favorite part of this version is the vocals at the very end at 4:46, it's so catchy how it's paired with the instrumentals

[jetstreamsam]

Absolution (noun) - formal release from guilt, obligation, or punishment.Just thought everyone should know.
