You try to run me through...hold on!
Think again! Don't you know what you're starting?
But you sure ain't got a clue how bad
This will go. Don't you know? Know my art (art of war)
And as you look to the horizon, not a cloud
But then stormy weather's caught you cold
Seems like it crept up out of nowhere, all around
You it's not quite what you foretold
You'll never see it coming! You'll see
That my mind is too fast for eyes
You're done in! By the
Time it's hit you, your last surprise
You think you've got your game planned out
To a T? Yet I'm two steps ahead, yeah
So you step into my way, stand down!
It's a trap. One more step and you're dead (Yeah, you're dead)
Why just a picosecond ago, clear blue skies
But now lightning's struck your last resolve
It's not an accident that no one hears your cries
As your last strength seems to dissolve
You'll never see it coming! You'll see
That my mind is too fast for eyes
You're done in! By the
Time it's hit you, your last surprise
I'm coming for you!
My game's always so fast, so fine
You're spun in by the
net you didn't catch it in time
Better think about your game
Are you sure your next move's the right one for you?
Are you sure you won't get out maneuvered
Again and again my friend?
You'll never see it coming! You'll see
That my mind is too fast for eyes
You're done in! By the
Time it's hit you, your last surprise
I'm coming for you!
My game's always so fast, so fine
You're spun in by the
net you didn't catch it in time

===Origin===
===Origin===
This theme is an arrangement of a song from ''Persona 5''. It originally played when exploring Tokyo, the main setting of the game, at night; an instrumental version plays during the day. The original song has a laidback, bluesy style that primarily focuses on bass, {{iw|wikipedia|wah-wah|music}} guitar, and rhodes piano. For the ''Ultimate'' remix, the song's tempo is significantly increased while keeping the same instrumentation; a string section is also added, giving it a more lively and energetic tone overall to match the upbeat ''Persona 5'' soundtrack. The vocals are performed by the original singer, Lyn Inaizumi.

Where have you been?
Been searching all along
Came facing twilight on and on
Without a clue
Without a sign
Without grasping yet
The real question to be asked
Where have I been?
I’m a shapeshifter at Poe’s masquerade
Hiding both face and mind, all free for you to draw
I’m a shapeshifter, what else should I be?
Please don’t take off my mask, revealing dark
Moments of calm
Nothing to be found
A mirror right in front of me
That’s where I find
An empty glass
reflecting the sad truth
It’s telling words not to be told
I need the mask
I’m a shapeshifter at Poe’s masquerade
Hiding both face and mind, all free for you to draw
I’m a shapeshifter chained down to my core
Please don’t take off my mask, my place to hide
I can’t tell you how to see me
Just a cage of bones, there’s nothing inside
Will it unleash me burning down the walls
Is there a way for me to break?
I’m a shapeshifter at Poe’s masquerade
Hiding both face and mind, all free for you to draw
I’m a shapeshifter, have no face to show
Please don’t take off my mask, my disguise

Who am I? Am I not unique?
Maybe I'm not here at all
Look at the fakers blinding us with lies
The breakers of us all
Ooh, it's useless
What does it mean that we're here?
Can we make a difference
If we don't break out of here?
Wake up, get up, get out there
Raise your voice against liars
Feed your anger like fire
Why does nobody want change?
Just imagine you're out there
Swatting lies in the making
Can't move fast without breaking
If you hold on life won't change
The fakers are all sick at heart
Their faces hiding their fear
They look down on all the rest of us
Like they're some special breed
Who's that high lord
Who thinks he's better than us?
Ain't it a crime that
Is there no mission for us?
Who is that high lord
Who'd kill a million of us?
And as the bell tolls
Is there no remission for us?
Wake up, get up, get out there
There's more to life than their way
If you live you can not stay
Why does nobody want change?
Let your voices ring out there
Take the mask off and be free
Find yourself in the debris
If you hold on life won't change

===Origin===
This song is taken directly from ''Persona 5'', where it plays during certain late-game boss fights, namely against Shido, the Holy Grail, and the New Game+ fight against Caroline and Justine. The second full verse is omitted from the ''Ultimate'' version of the song - it is unclear if this is for censorship purposes, as the second verse contains the lyric "hell", or simply to cut down on the length, as the full version would be among the longest songs in the game. Interestingly, ''Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight'' edited the song in the same way.

It's now or never, and I've got to make my decision
This time, it could be my moment
Is this a mirage or a chance to fulfill my mission?
A river in a dry land
The last ace in a lost hand
A heartbeat for a tin man
Oasis in a sieged land
I'm keeping my balance, but I'm standing on razor's edge now
Move quick or my life is over
One strike, just a faint, and I'm out of his field of vision
Don't ask why I'm ready, but I'm ready to strike him down now
A chance for a new start, there's no time for indecision
A river in a dry land
The last ace in a lost hand
When the hope of new beginnings burned our feet, now we need it
A heartbeat for a tin man
Oasis in a sieged land
Remind us what we're here for: creating new life
Creating rivers in the desert
When a cool drop of water's all I need
Gotta clear my head of anger and greed
A place to refresh
Heart and mind, can I find some time in
A river in a dry land
The last ace in a lost hand
When the hope of new beginnings burned our feet, now we need it
A heartbeat for a tin man
Oasis in a singed land
Remind us what we're here for: creating new life
Creating rivers in the desert

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 guerilla, warfare to keep 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 to 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

An arrangement of the theme of the same name from ''Persona 4''. This particular remix keeps the guitar-focused approach of the boss battle version of the song, but uses the piano instrumentation and overall structure from the "Acceptance" version of the theme, which plays at various points in the game (most often when a character accepts their Shadow Self). An instrumental version of the beginning of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0YvJdl-rCI ''Never More''] plays at the start.
This song is an arrangement of the boss theme from ''Persona 4''; its melody recurs throughout the game. This particular arrangement is based on the Acceptance version of the theme, which plays when the Shadow is accepted, and features part of the melody of the game's end credits theme, "Never More".

It's a war out there every day
 
You can't hide from it, you gotta play by the rules
 
Play it cool in the face of your sad disgrace
 
On the face of it, they miss their history
 
But they fight over place in it
 
Yeah they fight over place in it
 
Hard hit by the times, that's just how your life goes by
 
I know it's not your fault you say, but there ain't no other way
 
So step on up to the plate
 
Meet your fate, walk on straight into the lion's lair
 
So step on up to the plate
 
Cause this ain't no game, it's time to make history, yeah!

Mommy's not here, gotta fight

Right here, Shadow 10 o'clock direction
 
Seize the moment, destroy the nation
 
Your rhyme is slow motion, give me motivation
 
Freaked out now and dead on arrival
 
(What?)
 
Round up around, spit out, all over
 
Rhyme like a rolling stone comin' a crowd
 
Watch out, they move they diss you loud
 
Guess what this sound, it bombs whole ground

Don't ease your pace, 'cuz enemy's brutal

You're the only one, one world, one love
 
But the battle goes on, Shadows of mass destruction

This song is an arrangement of the recurring Velvet Room theme that appears throughout the series, debuting in the original ''Revelations: Persona''.
 
Despite the theme being based on the ''Persona 3'' version, it is classified as a ''Persona 5'' music track on Mementos, as indicated by the red background when it plays. Whereas "Aria of the Soul" typically uses solemn instrumentation similar to that of a chamber orchestra—a female vocalist backed by piano and strings—the ''Ultimate'' remix takes the "acid jazz" approach of ''Persona 5''{{'}}s soundtrack, introducing bass and electric guitar along with a drumkit.

==Trivia==
*Although not present in the actual game, [https://youtu.be/kRBNp_opDio ''Life Will Change (Instrumental Version)''] and [https://youtu.be/nzOAEdjdGBc ''The Spirit''] both play during Joker's initial reveal trailer.
*Although not present in the actual game, the instrumental arrangement of ''Life Will Change'' and the track ''The Spirit'' play during Joker's initial reveal trailer.
**This makes Joker's initial reveal trailer one of two trailers pertaining to newcomers to not feature any music found in-game, with the other being {{SSBU|Hero}}'s reveal trailer.
*Interestingly, unlike other series, the ''Persona'' tracks are listed in reverse chronological order.
*Interestingly, unlike other series, the ''Persona'' tracks are listed in reverse chronological order (with the exception of ''Time to Make History'', which is placed between ''Persona 4'' and ''Persona 3'').
*Much like [[Cloud]], [[Joker]] has a special [[victory theme]] that overrides the standard one, taken directly from ''Persona 5''. When a song from ''Persona 3'' or ''Persona 4'' is played on Mementos, the victory theme from the corresponding game is played if Joker wins.
*Much like [[Cloud]] and [[Sephiroth]], [[Joker]] has a special [[victory theme]] that overrides the standard results theme, taken directly from ''Persona 5''. When a song from ''Persona 3'' or ''Persona 4'' is played on Mementos, the victory theme from the corresponding game is played if Joker wins.
*Hidden in the data files of the game are the original versions of ''Beneath the Mask'' and ''Aria of the Soul'', which go unused in favor of their remixed versions, most likely due to their unfitting nature as background music for a fast-paced fighting game. They were most likely meant to be placeholders.
*On the DLC section of the ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Official Site|official site]], ''Aria of the Soul'' is listed as being from ''Persona 3'', rather than ''Revelations: Persona''.
