After thinking about it for a while, this is the worst lede I could come up with for this story: “I”m not a perfect person, there’s many things I wish I didn’t do. But I continue learning, I never meant to do those things to you.” Hoobastank sings this to kick off 2003’s mega-hit “The Reason,” but the lyrics apply to Sega’s efforts withSonicin recent years too.
This parallel isn’t as forced as it may seem because Hoobstank’s lead singer provided the vocals for the theme track toSonic Forces. Douglas Robb (that’s Hoobastank guy’s name) wrote and sang the lyrics for “Fist Bump” (that’s the theme song’s name).
The lyrics are below, as transcribed by a commenter on the YouTube video. I’ll trust that they’re more or less accurate. I gotta go think about high school for a while.
I can’t do this aloneEven though I am strongNeed something more than meSomeone to push me to victoryLet’s see what we can doTogether, me and youCan’t be afraid to try, kiss your fears goodbye
No looking backYou and I, we’re on the attackFull speed aheadRunning to the sunsetSuch a different feelingBoth of us believingWe can make it better
Together we can show the world what we can doYou are next to me and I’m next to youPush me on through until the battle’s wonNo one’s gonna give nothing to usInto each other we put our trustStanding united, after the fight
All alone,we will never beThe two of usare holding the keyWe see today,a world we couldn’t seeBefore I say goodbye to you, one more lastfist bump!
