*Lyrics:*
And every night, I lay awake
I find the conclusion
And every night, it just stays the same
In my dream of 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 realise
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

Nuh-nuh nuh-nuh nuh nuh

In the night light
Do you still feel your pain?
For the valour
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 you'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

Nuh-nuh nuh-nuh nuh nuh

In the night light
Do you see what you dream?
All your triumph
And all you'll ever be
Look around you
Then you may realise
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

'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

Nuh nuh nuh nuh-nuh, nuh nuh nuh nuh-nuh-nuh
Nuh nuh nuh nuh-nuh, nuh nuh nuh nuh-nuh-nuh
Nuh nuh nuh nuh-nuh, nuh nuh nuh nuh-nuh-nuh
Nuh nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh, nuh-nuh nuh nuh-nuh

Nuh nuh nuh nuh-nuh, nuh nuh nuh nuh-nuh-nuh
Nuh nuh nuh nuh-nuh, nuh nuh nuh nuh-nuh-nuh
Nuh nuh nuh nuh-nuh, nuh nuh nuh nuh-nuh-nuh
Nuh nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh, nuh-nuh nuh nuh-nuh

'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 (and you'll see)
What you'll be (what you'll be)
And you'll see - ahh (and you'll see)
All you can be (all you can be)
'Cause every night ('cause every night)
And every night (and every night)
And every night (and every night)
I will dream (I will dream, I will dream)

And you'll see (and you'll see)
(Yeah, this is my dream...)
What you'll be
And you'll see (and you'll see)
(Every night... I will always dream, yeah)
All you can be (all you can be)
'Cause every night ('cause every night)
And every night (and every night)
And every night (and every night)
I will dream (I will dream, I will dream)

Sonic's genre is rock,
Shadow's is heavy metal,
Silver's is pop rock.
I really want a Silver the hedgehog game just to see what music sega can cook up with this genre

[Fooza]

Call me crazy but... After Frontiers, I'd actually like them to expand on Silver's character. He has potential to be one of the best characters with Frontiers' style of writing

[NynyLemon]

Alternate reality: Sonic 07, best sonic game ever, amazing gameplay and story. Critics and fans love it and it got sonic back on track after shadow the hedgehog in 2005.

[bandicootsauce]

Silver's car in Team Sonic Racing should be called The Absolution.

[torchite]

When you realize an underused character has a best theme ever.

[TannerBlayze]

As a kid, I used to poke fun at this song for not being heavy a theme song like what the other characters had. As an adult, I get teary eyed hearing this again.

[yumeparadox]

Why does this just scream early 2000's pop music? Because it's from that era I know, haha. The lyrics are great.

[Blu_Moon_VA]

"It's no use!"
"I'm an optimist but I'm also a realist."

Am I missing something here?

[KookieStar]

Sonic: *Casually vibin''*
_Silver: And I took that personally, Iblis Trigger..._

[interhistoria]

I honestly enjoy Silver. I mean, his powers are unique, and his character is interesting to me. Maybe he was easily manipulated by Mephiles, but in all honesty, he didn't really have a choice, even if he knew. Why wouldn't he jump at the chance to save his world, fighting against a enemy that no matter how hard he fights, always keeps coming back? Growing up in a place of tension and sorrow, and still holding his head up high. He's a good man, through and through, he's not stupid, just ignorant and running with what has been given to him.
Silver is a much stronger character than people credit him for.

[rksonic]

All these years I've avoided this song since I'm more of a rock person..and now i see I've made a mistake all these years for neglecting this

[newgeneration]

The "be with you" and "come to you" sounds so beautiful it literally makes me cry

[rickalbuquerque]

I love the "I might know of our the future, but then you still control the past" part.
Silver will do his best to ensure a brighter future and will change the past to do so, but in the end, it's Sonic who holds that responsibility and he's the one Silver trusts to fight for a better tomorrow.

[tbxgaming]

In 2006 we got a bad sonic game, but we got a awesome character named sliver

[sophiaetka]

This song always makes me cry.
It makes me think of the night before my sister died, where I had a dream of her falling into water.
The next day, I saw my grandparents crying while on the phone with my mom.
When we got home from our vacation, and I see my mom again. I’m looking down the stairs as she’s crying. She then proceeded to tell me that my half sister had passed away. It wasn’t even her biological child, but Shaelynn was such an innocent little Angel that it affected everyone who had ever met her.
Sometimes I dream that she’s still alive. Sometimes I wake up and remember she’s gone. But my little sister will always be with me. Taken too soon. But this is one of the songs that got me through the grief I had to endure.
I miss you every day, and I wish I could have seen you grow. But it’s all going to be okay. I’ve come to accept all of this.

[Hollowficatiion]

never actually realized how this actually sounds like green hill zone

[wintersky]

*"Happiness lies trapped in misery..."*

[Monsieur_Le_Sof]

0:47 i dunno why, but that "control the past" always give me chills.

[JeeJLeeL]

Ah yes.

One character that deserved more attention and less hate from the fanbase.
