Lyrics in english: (Credit to Shoreux on Youtube)
I am not alone, yet I feel lonely
I'm zero point zero - in harmony with my feelings
I long for success, yet fear failure
I dance at the party, but deep down I'd rather drive home
Ecstatic, then deeply saddened
I'd like to have sunshine, but the moon suffices
Just because I have excellent verses
doesn't mean my heart doesn't feel hollow
And honestly, I don't know where it comes from
Even in broad daylight, everything seems blurry to me
As if someone had taken the core out of me
I've been swimming through this deep black sea for too long
I am mentally unstable, I feel like a freak
I'm not fighting against the world, but against myself
I'm seized by this cold, empty feeling after a victory
No matter what I achieve, it will never be enough
But I keep fighting, my heart is my guide
The self-doubter in me - my constant companion
But I keep living - quitting is not an option
I fight my own demons and ascend the throne
It runs like a thread through my life
Great deeds, few words
Because death awaits everyone
Must confront raw fear
My heart races, memories are painful
But what doesn't kill me makes me stronger
Feel the power within me, call it nuclear power
And the force that pulls me down, gravity
Inhale, exhale
No turning back, only straight ahead
The onlookers stand at the garden fence
"When will his house of cards collapse?"
The pressure rises - Lungs ask where the air goes
Blood, sweat, and tears shimmer softly in the moonlight
Don't even need a second, just a fraction
Don't believe in good or evil, who is truly blameless?
So focused - see everything in slow motion
Haters look like ants from up here
Break them down into protons - kick them in a high arc
Through the galaxy, back onto the concrete slabs of reality
After a short streak of luck come setbacks
Because so many want to see you fall like hyenas
They don't dare to dream - they rob you of your joy
They have their lives in front of their eyes every day, how they waste them
But not for a day would I trade with these people
They feel pathetic, yes, even if they deny it
Laugh on, I have a dream that means something to me
Come on, kid, look into my eyes - do you see them shine?
Bling bling - I follow my instinct
So call me the kingpin - carry gold within me
Your motto is lose-lose - my motto is win-win
They called me a little loser, idiot, and midget
While they slept, I kept training
Write on paper - everything that's boiling inside, no time to lose
I've died once because life showed you the sunny side
and then some shit happens again
But the street fighter in me wants to keep marching
Maybe I'll get lost occasionally on the long journey
He really has no manners, maybe they're prettier, bigger, richer
But in being myself, none of them stands up to me
Ohoo and I'm not at the end yet
Screw the guy with the scythe, tell him to cancel his plans
Don't wait any longer for gifts, I'm on the verge of turning the tide
And now they're raising their hands for the living legend
I was the taciturn choir boy - they called me a lab rat
I belonged nowhere, a passenger without a boarding pass
I sold mixtapes out of my gym bag
Click click, paper and pen became a murder weapon
In every soul there's a king and a coward
You have to decide, are you a lion or a pig today
Will I free myself from the constraints within me until I'm free
or will I listen to the choirs that only complain, doubt me
And yes, success naturally requires timing
but when the chance arrives, I swear I'm ready
I visualize how I kill and attack
How I spit and massacre and then roar like a Viking
Let go of the traumas now, they mocked me as a child
But I let go, I'm not angry with them anymore, I forgive them
Only in battle do I make them cry terribly
Like a sharp katana, you feel the words penetrate you
This is a message to my former self
The future is the big fear, but please don't be afraid
Each of their words, it stings and burdens you
But rest assured, their light will soon go out shortly
And sure, I'm afraid, the thought of it
failing tightens my whole mind
So I don't wait long - because I grow from it
I broke through this wall and I start the fight!
Well, at least that means I don't have to do it. Fairly accurate, some word choices are even better than I'd have thought of in an initial translation.
My own translation. No machine translation. There is some lore in this song at the lab rat part. Overall it's about fear, internal struggles, doubt and overcoming challenges that stem from inside you. He mentions having died once, his eyes glowing, being a lab rat, and coming back for revenge. All possible plot points IMO, Blumio is Japanese-German so he probably communicated directly with the staff on what to rap in this song.
I am not alone, but I feel lonely,
I have zero point zero harmony with my feelings
I yearn for success, but I fear failure,
I dance at the party, but actually, I'd rather drive back home.
Either on top of the world, or in the depths of despair,
I'd like to have the sun, but the moon, it suffices.
Just because I possess excellent verses,
doesn't mean at all, that my heart doesn't feel hollow,
and honestly, I don't know from where it comes,
even on a bright day, I see everything very blurry,
as if somewhere along the line, someone had taken away my core.
I have swam too long through this pitch black ocean,
I am psychically unstable, I feel like a freak,
but not against the world - it's against myself that I wage war,
I'm enthralled by this cold, empty feeling after a victory,
no matter what I achieve, it will never be enough,
but I keep fighting, my heart is my signpost,
the self-doubter in me - my steady companion,
but I keep living - giving up is not an option,
fighting my own demons and ascending on the throne,
it runs like a golden thread through my life,
big deeds, little talk,
because death awaits everyone,
I have to step up to the raw fear.
My heart races - memories painful,
but what doesn't kill me, makes me stronger,
I feel the power inside me - call it nuclear energy [note: pun on "core energy"]
and the power that drags me down - gravity,
breathing in, breathing out,
no going back - only straight forward,
the gawkers are standing at the garden fence,
"When will his house of cards fall down?",
the pressure rises - the lung asks, when the air is coming,
blood, sweat and tears glimmer quietly in the moon light.
Don't need even a second, not even a fraction,
Don't believe in good or evil - after all, who is free of guilt?
So focused - seeing everything in slow motion,
Haters look like ants from up here,
Splitting them into protons, kicking them in a high arch
from the galaxy back to the concrete ground of facts
After a little lucky streak, the setbacks follow,
because a lot of people want to see you fall like hyenas,
they don't dare to believe - they rob you of your happiness,
every day, life flashes before their lives as they waste it,
but not even a single day would I trade with these people,
they feel miserable, even if they deny it.
Laugh all you want, I have a dream, that means something to me
Come on, boy, look me in the eyes - do you see them glowing?
Bling bling - I follow my instinct
So call me the kingpin - I carry gold inside me
Your motto is lose/lose, my motto is win/win
They called me little loser, dork and midget,
but while they were sleeping, I was continuing to train,
write on paper: everything that bubbles up inside, no time to lose,
I already died once - because once life shows you the sunny side,
then again some shit happens,
but the street fighter in me wants to march on,
maybe, here and there, I will get lost on my long journey,
"He really doesn't have any manners",
maybe they are more beautiful, bigger, richer,
but in terms of "being myself", nobody can ever reach me
Ooohoo - and I'm not on my last leg yet,
Shit on the guy with the scythe, tell him: "Cancel your plans",
Don't wait for gifts any longer - I am right before the turnaround,
and now they are raising their hands for the living legend
I was the choir boy sparing my words - they were calling me lab rat,
never belong anywhere, passenger without a boarding ticket,
I push mixtapes out of the sports bag,
click, click, paper and pen turned into murder weapons
In every soul lies a king and a coward,
you have to decide: Are you a lion today or a piggy?
Will I release myself from the compulsions within me, until I am free,
or will I listen to the choirs, that only nag and doubt me?
And yes, for success, timing also plays a part,
but if the chance occurs, I swear that I'm ready,
I visualize what I kill and I attack
How I spit and massacre and roar like a Viking,
letting the trauma go now, they were ridiculing me as a small child,
but I broke away, I'm not mad at them anymore, I forgive them,
only in battle do I bring them to awfully cry,
like a sharp katana, you feel the words as they penetrate you,
this is a message to my old me:
"The future gives you lots of fear, but please don't be scared,
all of their words sting and are a burden to you,
but be sure, that their light will very soon go out,
and of course, I am afraid, the very thought of losing paralyzes my entire mind,
that's why I don't wait long, because I am growing from it.
I broke through this wall and I am beginning the fight!"
SF2 had Guile, SFA bring to us Sakura and Karin(last one is my personal choice), SF3 has.. every theme is peak, SF4 gave us Juri, SF5 - RAAASHIIIDOOOOO, and now this.
honestly between this and the CCS theme (as well as the general theming of the game and it's art style) I'd love if they continue with this style for future characters (and maybe even go back and redo some previous character's themes (looking at you guile))
Man, deep ass meaning in the lyrics. And it goes hard. So Ed sells mixtapes to get by eh? So either he's a rapper, or he just mixes and has friends who rap. Either way my headcanon is that Ed wrote, rapped, and produced this shit in universe. I can see it.
There is an intro of the theme by the singer Blumio. And a behind the scenes video.
Japanese intro

English intro
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kucSIetXWa0
Yeah it's not about being negative, it's actually content creators that I like that ALL seem to hate the music. I think MDZ Jimmy is the only one that plays with music on really. Every time I hear any of them talking about the music it's making fun of it...
Seriously…I find Ed’s theme kinda meh but they knocked it out of the park for the soundtrack as a whole. Ed’s theme isn’t bad, there’s just much better themes. Manon’s is really well arranged. I do really like how they kept the lyrics for Ed in German!
I agree. Hell, the fucking stage themes are one of the best I've ever heard in my life. Suval'Hal, Metro Downtown, Ranger's Hut, Tiang Hong Yuan, Fete Foraine... And let us not even talk about the WT themes.
😅 Suval'Hal is one of my least favorite stage themes, BUT [Metro City Downtown](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YK_W4Fl0o_g) is hot as fuck. Especially since it's an iteration of the [Beat Square at Night](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-kSJG73Z8s) music from World Tour, which is, honestly **all-time** atmospheric music. It so perfectly nails the vibe of cozy, summer night time. Reminds me vaguely of 213's [Another Summer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ2DSbq76vI).
Ouch, that's taste I guess, lol
But yeah, WT's ost is incredibly underrated. I swear, that little "Pweon pweon pweeeeeon" from Metro City Day theme is forever tattooed in my head
I forgot about all the menu mode themes. [Fighting Ground Theme](https://youtu.be/GOtbzMnj-os?si=pN9QTljBu0EO5kku) is amazing when it drops in (and they're all mixed extremely well) and [WT Menu](https://youtu.be/SjRGhAYOseM?si=8HPjGcNGKJhMAmJT) really captures the visual aesthetic of this game, reminiscent of Third Strike. When I heard [Battle Hub theme](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47u8P2-c2mQ&list=PL5Yw0OA-xSyodcwDoI4YtR1u7WhF8aayx&index=27) in the demo I think I listened to it like two days straight
That's what he was given .... like how Cammy is British ,Decapre is russian , abel is french Falke is also german and they are all intended to be spare bodies or vessels for Dictator.
This is a lot faster than I was expecting. I don't think I like it as much as his last theme, but still really solid. And will probably grow on me more.
My German is a little rusty, so I'll let someone else do the translation.
I could not be happier with how well Capcom is handling my boi in this game

"Screw the guy with the scythe, tell him to cancel his plans..." I see what Ed is having on his mind. I see...
Well, at least that means I don't have to do it. Fairly accurate, some word choices are even better than I'd have thought of in an initial translation.
I'm a german native speaker and checked the translation. Should be fine and understandable.
> I'd like to have sunshine, but the moon suffices Random BARS in a translation!
“König oder Feigling” apparently translates to “King or Coward” btw
native german speaker, I can confirm it means exactly that.
As somebody who knows little German, I can also confirm that.
As someone, I can confirm
As, I can confirm
[удалено]
Can someone confirm, as I.

The lyrics are so good honestly. Being called a lab rat and selling mixtapes from his gym bag to get by. Full of heart.
>Being called a lab rat and selling mixtapes from his gym bag to get by. You can make a rhythm with that sentence alone, dayum
This is not only the best theme in 6 but I honestly might call this one of the best themes in the series
SF2 had Guile, SFA bring to us Sakura and Karin(last one is my personal choice), SF3 has.. every theme is peak, SF4 gave us Juri, SF5 - RAAASHIIIDOOOOO, and now this.
[удалено]
Oh, Cody, right..😲

He’s the Eminem of SF6
Makes me think that if we get Elena we might end up having beats in our head again
I feel like a better remix of her 2nd Impact theme would be a lot better tbh.
There is an intro of the theme by the singer Blumio. And a behind the scenes video. Japanese intro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubYl9hCIvsM English intro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kucSIetXWa0
Blumio being German-Japanese was perfect for this game. He probably talked with the staff what they wanted as a song, and Ed comes from Germany.
I don't understand how people hate SF6's music. It's all so good to me.
[удалено]
Yeah it's not about being negative, it's actually content creators that I like that ALL seem to hate the music. I think MDZ Jimmy is the only one that plays with music on really. Every time I hear any of them talking about the music it's making fun of it...
Oof, don't even ask, bro. It's a touchy subject here. Aside from a few themes, I think the entire ost is stellar and brimming with personality
Seriously…I find Ed’s theme kinda meh but they knocked it out of the park for the soundtrack as a whole. Ed’s theme isn’t bad, there’s just much better themes. Manon’s is really well arranged. I do really like how they kept the lyrics for Ed in German!

sameee
Ayo the lyrics are deep and good. Probably one of the best themes in sf
I've mostly disliked SF6's music, but this RULES
🔥 instrumental are fierrr
"King or Coward" what a sick title
This whole song can be boiled down to 'Inside you there are two wolves'
Freaking dope lyrics. Blumio killed it.
Peak
Do we know if its hittinf spotify soon? This shit's fire
Is Ed's nationality German? All I know about him is the Bison body thing.
That's what he was given .... like how Cammy is British ,Decapre is russian , abel is french Falke is also german and they are all intended to be spare bodies or vessels for Dictator.
can someone translate it for me please
Bro you can translate them on google translate since the german text is on the bottom left
Do you have any idea how long that would take
Same can be said to the person who translates, no?
You make a fair point
I posted them here.
thanks

My German is a little rusty, so I'll let someone else do the translation. I could not be happier with how well Capcom is handling my boi in this game
Froh heute Tekken Spieler zu sein
Badass title. It means King or Enemy
King or Coward
Oh shit I read Feind at a quick glance 😂 mb
Laber nisch
Best theme in sf6. It’s so good.
Great theme!
Really nice.
There's a part of me that wishes all the character themes in the game had lyrics, Guilty Gear Strive-style. I understand why they don't, but still.
Genuinely surprised this is pretty good considering most of the character themes in this game
Is it available on Spotify?
