Hi,

First of all, I didn't knew where I could put this thread. I apologize if it is on the wrong area. And sorry about any english mistakes made by my own, I dont master English. Thanks...

PS: This is not a "decoding" about this music...Its just me asking about the meaning of it.

Well, getting started.. One day I was on the internet listening some music... When I decided to re-listen some music from GT5 Prologue. By my own mistake, I took a GT5 (not GT5 prologue) music, called "The Shadow of My Past", by Daiki Kasho (vocal by Jonathan Underdown). It was with substitutes, and by the first time (after listening several while playing GT5) I stopped to pay attention on what the music was saying. And it was really intriguing. Here´s the lyrics, and below the substituted video I saw:

"We Hide Inside, the safety of the same games
The same games
Secrets, We've shield spinning us now in circles
Bound in circles
Don't pretend to know me, Yeah!
Cause you don't know a thing
Spin me from the agony, Yeah!
Man, you so know anything.
We play those games, when everything was perfect
More then perfect
How did we swim into this vicious cycle
Evil Cycle
Stop Controlling everything, Yeah!
One day soon your gonna see
The Foul Love that you remade, Yeah!
has made you my worst enemy
So tell me why you need to feel
These things that are not real
Admitting in this...
Love you until now
The Shadows of Our Past
Still nothing in our bags
And this is the moment it all comes down!
We hide Inside, the safety of the same games
Stupid Games
Secrets, We've shield spinning us now in circles
Bound in Circles
Don't pretend to know me, Yeah!
Cause you don't know a thing
The Foul Love that your remade, Yeah!
Has made you my worst enemy
So tell me why you need to feel
These things that are not real
Admitting in this...
Love you until now
The Shadows of Our Past
Still nothing in our bags
Cause we couldn't turn ourselves around
The point of no return
Now everything will burn
And nothing but the ash will be where we fell
The Shadows of Our Past
Still nothing in our bags
And this is the moment it all comes down
(Robotic)
Yeah
These things that are not real
Admitting in this...
Love you until now
The Shadows of Our Past
Still nothing in our bags
Cause we couldn't turn ourselves around...
The point of no return..."



Am I the only guy who, after listening to this, say "WTF"?? I mean, look at the lyrics... Is it an indirect statement saying: "quit GT!!!". I can't understand why this music saying, as I understood, "games sucks" in a game!!

And I still got some phrases I just didn't get it... And still made me intrigued. For example:

"Don't pretend to know me, Yeah!
Cause you don't know a thing
Spin me from the agony, Yeah!
Man, you so know anything."

"Secrets, We've shield spinning us now in circles
Bound in Circles"

There was a part too, that I think I understood, not sure... When he says "Nothing in our bags", did he says that they lack creation, work? I mean, if you didn't have ever worked nothing on your own, so you have nothing on your bag. Is that right?

Maybe this is compelling to somebody, so I would understand if very few people would like to discuss this.
