Persona_4_Golden_-_Shadow_World

Persona 4 Golden - Shadow World

Opening version

Truth is elusive, it's nowhere to be found
Yeah, the truth can never be written down
It's not in any magazine
You can't see it on your TV screen

Truth is evasive, though you might have the facts
Got it straight, you think, but then it all cracks wide open
You can search the world far and wide
The only truth that you can ever find

Is in another
A soul that's got the same burning need
To find out what's 'neath the cover-up
The one can't be without the true other
So let's get together, see what we can uncover

One that defines your world
Gives you truth and life
One that excels
Special enough to guide your way through
This shadow world

Persona 4 Golden - Shadow World (Full)

Full version

Truth is elusive, it's nowhere to be found
Yeah, the truth can never be written down
It's not in any magazine
You can't see it on your TV screen

Truth is evasive, though you might have the facts
Got it straight, you think, but then it all cracks wide open
You can search the world far and wide
The only truth that you can ever find

Is in another
A soul that's got the same burning need
To find out what's 'neath the cover-up
The one can't be without the true other
So let's get together, see what we can uncover

One that defines your world
Gives you truth and life
One that excels
Special enough to guide your way through
This shadow world

I've tried to imagine what it'd be like without
Knowing you are always right by my side
No doubt, I can't imagine not knowing trust like
I know with you

Lies come in many forms and some look like truth
But we won't let that confuse me and you
We found a way to see what's right for ourselves
We found our truth in someone else, we got

Faith in each other
Our souls have got the same burning need
To find out what's 'neath the cover up
The one can't be without the true other
So let's get together, see what we can uncover

Let there be someone there
That shares truth and love
Who really cares
And knows we can only share our truth through

One that defines your world
Gives you truth and life
One that excels
Special enough to guide your way through
This shadow world
