## Lyrics

I don't care what you're thinking as you turn to me

'Cause what I have in my two hands is enough to set me free (set me free!)

I can fight the feeling to resist it over time

But when it's just too much to take, you sneak up from behind

Is it me, you say you're looking for?

Let me show you who I am and what I'm here for

Here for...Hey!

Try to reach inside of me, try to drain my energy

Let me show you just what I'm made of!

Simple curiosity tries to take a bite of me

Let me show you just what I'm made of

Now!

Like a million faces, I've recognized them all

And one by one they've all become a number as they fall (as they fall)

In the face of reason, I can take no more

One by one they've all become a black mark on the floor

Is it me (is it me), you say (you say), you're looking for?

Let me show you who I am and what I have in store

In store...(Hey! Hey! Yeah!)

Try to reach inside of me, try to drain my energy

Let me show you just what I'm made of!

Simple curiosity tries to take a bite of me

Let me show you just what I'm made of

Now!

You can take another life long try

You can take another try

(Hey!)

[guitar solo]

(Yeaaah!)

Try to reach inside of me, try to drain my energy

Let me show you just what I'm made of!

Simple curiosity tries to take a bite of me

Let me show you just what I'm made of

Now! (yeah!)

Try to reach inside of me (Inside of me!)

Try to take my energy (My energy!)

Let me show you just what I'm made of!

## Meaning of lyrics

* "I don't care what you're thinking as you turn to me" - Metallix does not cares about Eggman's motives or how tough his army because, as he only cares about his friends.
* "'Cause what I have in my two hands is enough to set me free" - This has a double meaning. First, and it's most obvious, Metallix' actions led to the creation of the Brotherhood of Metallix. Second, Metallix is strong-willed enough to resist Eggman's control, despite being a Robian.
* "But when it's just too much to take, you sneak up from behind" - Another lyric with double meaning. First, Metallix is revealed to be the main antagonist of the Mecha Sonic Saga. Second, the pain Metallix endured when his version of Eggman took away everything from him is amplified by Sonic's mere existence. Bowser Jr. is the only one who can prevent Metallix from decaying into madness, but when he tried to prevent Sonic from being tossed in space by the Quantum Dial, he got sent in the future, and Metallix went insane because he thought Bowser Jr. was dead.
* "Like a million faces, I've recognized them all" - It talks about both the Freedom Fighters, since Metallix is from another dimension, and their many enemies.
* "Let me show you who I am and what I have in store" - Metallix showing the whole world who he is.
* "You can take another life-long try" - Metallix accepting any challenge from both his allies and enemies.
* "Try to drain my energy" - This one is actually literal: both the Eggman Empire and, in the Mecha Sonic Saga, the Freedom Fighters try to drain Metallix' energy.
* "Let me show you just what I'm made of!" - Metallix revealing that he's much more than just a robot.
