"Reach Out to the Truth" is the normal battle theme of Persona 4. There are three versions of the track found in the Persona 4 Original Soundtrack, each one played at different moments:
- The normal version is played in random battles on any dungeon in Persona 4. It is also played when the player achieves a Player Advantage in Persona 4 Golden, but does not serve as the normal battle theme.
- The "~First Battle~" version is played on the very first battle of the game, as well as while fighting any sub-boss in a dungeon.
- The "Instrumental" version is played on the Attract Mode video.
The difference between the normal and "~First Battle~" versions lies in the intro: the "~First Battle~" one starts on the second verse. The "instrumental" version replaces the lyrics on the chorus for a guitar, but keeps the middle verses.
The song was remixed officially by Atlus, and was remixed once again in Persona 4 Arena as Yu Narukami's theme. The normal original version is used as the mirror match theme. It is one of two themes that have been fully remixed for the game, the other being "Heartful Cry".
Lyrics
Now I face out I hold out
I reach out to the truth of my life
Seeking to seize on the whole moment, yeah
Yeah
Naked truth lies only if you realize
Appearing in nobody's eyes till they sterilize
Stop the guerrilla warfare to keep it fair
Bro change your rage to a smarter greater ´cause
You know the stake is high stardom is near
Those who sympathized you die killers pass you by
Do not waste your time in hating flirting guys
Use your might to AIs do justice to them all
Now I face out I hold out
I reach out to the truth of my life
Seeking to seize on the whole moment to now break away
Oh God let me out
Can you let me out?
Can you set me free from this dark inner world?
Save me now
Last beat in the soul
"Reach Out to the Truth (Persona 4: First Battle/Instrumental)"
Yeah
Naked truth lies only if you realize
Appearing in nobody's eyes till they sterilize
Stop the guerrilla warfare to keep it fair
Bro change your rage to a smarter greater cause
You know the stake is high stardom is near
Those who sympathized you die killers pass you by
Do not waste your time in hating flirting guys
Use your might to AIs do justice to them all
Now I face out I hold out
I reach out to the truth of my life
Seeking to seize on the whole moment to now break away
Oh God let me out
Can you let me out?
Can you set me free from this dark inner world?
Save me now
Last beat to the soul
(Repeat x1 for First Battle Theme only.)

Appearing in nobody's eyes, till they sterilize

Save me now last beat in the soul
Yeah flooded apple pie
Left until somebody cries
Goddamn always talking shizzle behind man get left behind
Come on and quit that shizzle tell me what you really want
Louder ladies I can feel nothing in the tone of your voice
Closer it gets y'all know how everything reflects
Your soul and spirits lost pretends gets rejects
Look man you are one who actually you detest
I guess they're good reasons why you can't see next
Now I face out, I make head
I bleach out cock and bull of this globe
Thinking to seeking on the whole moment now it's on!
Oh god it's enough? Are you satisfied?
It's already disgusting to dance with your palms
Save me now last beat in the soul
Now I face out, I hold out
I reach out to the truth of my life
Seeking to seize on the whole moment to now break away!
Oh god let me out, Can you let me out?
Can you set me free from this dark inner world
Save me now last beat in the soul
Now I face out, I make head
I bleach out cock and bull of this globe
Thinking to seeking on the whole moment now it's on!
Oh god it's enough? Are you satisfied?
It's already disgusting to dance with your palms
Save me now last beat in the soul
