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===
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.

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!

This track is the main battle theme taken from ''Persona 3''. Despite remaining unchanged otherwise, the line "Damn right" is replaced with the line "All night", which is used elsewhere in the song. This is likely due to the game's age rating being lower than ''Persona 3'' in all regions.

(Baby, baby, baby)

(Baby, baby, baby)

(Baby, baby, baby)

Yeah!

(Yes! The battlegrounds right here!)

(It's a man's world!)

(Come on!)

(Gotta get ready for this right here)

(Hey, you)

Fear's awake, anger beats loud, face reality

Never beat charity, move ahead of me

The enemy you're fighting covers all society

(All night)

Mommy's not here, gotta fight

(All night)

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

(So round up)

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

Moment of truth, there ain't no truce

You're the only one, one world, one love

But the battle goes on, Shadows of mass destruction

Ooh yea,

Dada-dada, dada-dada,

Baby, baby

Da-dada-dada, dada-dada

Ooh yea,

Dada-dada, dada-dada,

Baby, baby

Da-dada-dada, dada-dada

===Origin===
This song is an arrangement of the recurring Velvet Room theme that appears throughout the series, debuting in the original ''Revelations: Persona''. The arrangement is based on the version from ''Persona 3'' and onwards. 

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.
**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 (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 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.
*''Aria of the Soul'' is listed as being from ''Persona 3'', rather than ''Revelations: Persona''.
