The Main Theme has no lyrics, so you might only find ways of listening to
it, here. This song is long and much diversified inside itself, sometimes
you have an action-like fast music and other times you get a slow
orchestrated song, you might find it difficult to recognize it every time,
the best way is having the song somehow

==== LYRICS ====
What a thrill
With Darkness and silence through the night
What a thrill
I'm searching and I'll melt into you
What a fear in my heart
But you're so supreme!
I give my life
Not for honor, but for you (snake eater)
In my time there'll be no one else
Crime, it's the way I fly to you (snake eater)
I'm still in a dream of the snake eater
Someday you go through the rain,
Someday you feed on a tree frog,
It's ordeal, the trial to survive
For the day we see new light
I give my life
Not for honor, but for you (snake eater)
In my time there'll be no one else
Crime, it's the way I fly to you (snake eater)
I'm still in a dream of the snake eater
== MEANING ==
SPOILERS: If you didn't beat the game, DO NOT read from here on.
What I'm writing here is nothing official, it's just my interpretation of
what it could mean. If you have another point of view or disagrees with my
opinion, you can send me an e-mail and I'll see what I think of your
interpretation.
This song has a really deep meaning, and totally obscure until you beat the
game and be aware of what's really going on. Here I'll quote some lines of
the lyrics and write a brief explanation of what it's suposed to mean (in
my interpretation).
The lyrics are The Boss singing to Jack.
"I give my life
Not for honor, but for you (snake eater)"
Interpretation: We know that The Boss died with no honor at all. He died as
a war criminal, although she sacrificed herself and her honor as a soldier.
She died knowing it all, and wanted Jack to know it all. She'd didn't die
for honor, but would die for Jack.
"In my time there'll be no one else"
Interpretation: When she died, Jack was the only one with her. He did kill
her.
"Crime, it's the way I fly to you (snake eater)"
Interpretation: She'll be known in History as a war criminal, but she
doesn't really cares, since Jack knows who she trully was and how honorable
she was.
"Someday you go through the rain,
Someday you feed on a tree frog,
It's ordeal, the trial to survive
For the day we see new light"
Interpretation: Speaking about the unconfortable situations that Jack is
going to pass, surviving in the jungle, but at the end he'll see a new
light.
That's pretty much it. Thanks for your attention, and let e know about what
you think if you disagree, so I can include in the guide, maybe.

Son, you've got a way to fall
They'll tell you where to go
But they won't know
Son, you'd better take it all
They'll tell you what they know
But they won't show
Oh, I've got something in my throat
I need to be alone
While I suffer
Son, you've got a way to kill
They're picking on you still
But they don't know
Son, you'd better wait to shine
They'll tell you what is yours
But they take mine
Oh, I've got something in my throat
I need to be alone
While I suffer
Oh, there's a hole inside my boat
I need stay afloat
For the summer long
(Break)
Left my Sweet Soul
Beneath the bed clothes
I'm not coming down.
Walls have ears but
No-one hears when
Nobody's around.
Son, you'd better wait to fall
They'll tell you where to go
But they won't know

How can you say good bye, my love?
When we haven't even said hello
I see your face
I feel your sadness
I feel your pain inside of me
Why are you so afraid?
How can you go on living in the past?
I see your eyes
I feel your pain
I feel your sadness inside of me
Open your heart and smile for me
You're not the only one afraid to fall in love
Dance with me again
And walk this way
Don't be afraid to love again
Why can't we start all over?
How long can we go on, feeling this loss of love?
Why are you so afraid to feel the pain of love?
Why are you so afraid to feel the joy of love?
I see your face
I see your sadness
I feel the pain inside of you
Why are you so afraid to start?
Don't be afraid of killing me with pain of love
Don't!
Don't be afraid to fall in love again
Don't be afraid to fall
I'm falling
I'm falling in love again
Falling in love again
How can you say good bye?
When we haven't even had a chance to say...
I love you!
Yes I do!
Don't!
Don't be afraid!
Don't be afraid to love again

---- DESCRIPTION and "WHERE YOU HEAR" INFO ----
:: Disc 1 ::
01 - Snake Eater
This song is the Bond-like song featured in the game's opening...which
you unlock 45 or so minutes into the game. Part of it is also used
during the last battle, a tiny bit of it is used during the campfire
scene, and an a capella version is sung on the long ladder leading up
to the mountains. It is *not* the main theme of Metal Gear Solid 3....
02 - ”Metal Gear Solid” Main Theme (Metal Gear Solid 3 Version)
...This is. It's the third Main Theme, and what a worthy addition!
This song, unfortunately, never makes it into the game in its full form.
It is cut up into segments and scattered throughout the game.
The three parts of the game you hear this during are, in the order they
appear in the song: When the Shagohod jumps back out of the river during
the chase, when Snake is running at the end of the sewers, and at the
end of the credits.
03 - CQC
This is the music that plays on the title screen. A slightly more
interesting version of this song plays in the Camo Index Demo. The
other song featured in that demo never made it into the game.
04 - Virtuous Mission
This starts off at the very beginning of the first cinema of the game
all the way through to the landing at Tselinoyarsk. The interruption
for Hideo Kojima's director credit and the mission briefing is not
heard. The opening part is used a couple other times throughout the
game, such as after Granin's "interrogation", but nothing really worth
noting.
05 - One The Ground ~ Battle in The Jungle
This track begins with the shedding of Snake's gear, then launches
straight into the outdoor Caution song. The outdoor Alert theme that
follows isn't actually the one used in the game, but is the same one
featured on the First Bite CD in "Infiltration Into The Jungle". The
actual Alert theme is quite similar, but not exactly the same. The
outdoor Evasion song never appears.
06 - KGBVSGRU
This is an extremely shortened version of when Ocelot makes his first
appearance. Oddly enough, this doesn't play during the KGB vs. GRU
part of the cinema, but when Snake takes on Ocelot and his soldiers in
Rassvet. It's rearranged a bit, and the guitar comes out much more
clearly on the CD version.
07 - Shagohod
This first plays when Sokolov informs Snake about the Shagohod. It
plays again shortly when Snake and The Boss are reaching towards each
other. It comes up a few more times in the game when people talk about
the Shagohod.
08 - Operation Snake Eater
This plays right after the "intro" sequence, just before the Snake Eater
briefing.
09 - Mission Briefing
Plays during the Snake Eater mission briefing. I'm not sure if this is
the song that plays during the Virtuous Mission briefing or not, but I
don't believe so. This song also splays in Groznyj Grad in the
Shagohod's hanger once Snake has been subdued and Volgin tells Snake
that he knows that Eva is the spy.
10 - Across The Border ~ Snake Meets The Boss
The first part plays when Snake is shot from the plane and back into
Tselinoyarsk.
The second part plays when you meet The Boss shortly after landing, as
well as in Groznyj Grad when you meet Volgin in the Shagohod's hanger.
The final part never shows up in the game, but is featured at the end
of the GC trailer (the one with the English voice acting).
11 - Eva's Unveiling
This starts playing the moment you step out of Sokolov's room. It
includes Eva's introduction on the bike, her massacre of the soldiers,
and her formal introduction.
12 - Ocelot Youth ~ Confrontation
A combination of the music that plays in the pre-Ocelot battle cinema
and the Ocelot boss battle music. This is definitely my favorite boss
battle song.
13 - The Cobras In The Jungle
The beginning of this song is what pays in the cinemas before you fight
The Pain and The Sorrow. It also plays after the event with The Sorrow,
where you hear him and The Boss talking. The last part plays before the
battle with The End, when The End dies, and very briefly when Snake's
made it to shore after The Sorrow event.
14 - The Pain
The boss battle theme for The Pain. I'd like to note that when
uploaded from a CD, the ending appears to be cut off a little short.
This is because the very last fraction of a second is at the beginning
of the next track.
15 - The Fear
The boss battle music for The Fear.
16 - Fortress Sneaking
This first plays during the cinema on the docks (when Volgin electrocutes
Eva), when Ocelot is twirling The Fear's crossbow at Eva after Volgin
leaves from "interrogating" Granin, and again when Sokolov hands the
Shagohod data over to Eva.
17 - Underground Tunnel
This plays when we are introduced to The Fury, just before his boss
battle.
18 - The Fury
The Fury's boss battle theme. The fast, "infuriated" part doesn't last
very long, unfortunately.
19 - Surfing Guitar
One of the Healing Radio tracks. It's my second favorite, right after
Sea Breeze.
20 - Sailor
One of the Healing Radio tracks.
21 - Salty Catfish
One of the Healing Radio tracks.
22 - Old Metal Gear
This is the song Granin is listening to in his office when Snake sneaks
in.
:: Disc 2 ::
01 - Battle In The Base
This is the Alert and Caution that plays in the indoor areas like
Graniny Gorki and Groznyj Grad. Once again, the Evasion music is MIA.
02 - Volgin, The Torturer
Plays during the torture sequence, when Volgin punches the Warehouse
wall when he hears that The Pain has been killed, and when Volgin
beats the living daylights out of Snake in Sokolov's room.
03 - The Sorrow ~ Everlasting Fight
This song is played suring The Sorrow event, the first part is
througout the battle, and the second part is played when he and Snake
talk.
(thanks to Nathon Peldomsc who told me where the second part plays)
04 - Clash With Evil Personified
The Volgin boss battle music. It's one of my favorites (though Ocelot
beats him out).
05 - Sidecar - Escape From The Fortress -
The first of the sidecar event tracks. It plays from the time you start
until you get to the bridge.
06 - Sidecar - On The Rail Bridge -
The second of the sidecar event tracks. It plays when you have to snipe
the C3 on the rail bridge, as well as during the forest chase sequence
after fighting the Shagohod.
07 - Takin' On The Shagohod
The Shagohod boss battle music. It was known as "The Treading Behemoth"
on the First Bite CD.
08 - Escape Through The Woods
The first part of this song is the Caution music from the last 2 areas
of the game (where you lead Eva around). The second part is the Alert
music for those 2 areas. The Alert music was a standalone track called
"Escape" on the First Bite CD
09 - Troops In Gathering
This is the song that plays during the scene when enemy soldiers find
the wreckage of your bike and start looking for you.
10 - Life's End
This plays twice: once when The Boss reveals her scar, and then
immediately after the last battle. The song that plays after her
passing is not present (or even on the OST, for that matter).
11 - Last Showdown
This first plays during the sewer scene under Groznyj Grad when Ocelot
up. It plays again on the WiG when Ocelot wants another shot at
shooting Snake.
12 - The Return Of The MiGs
Pretty self-explanatory. This plays during the part of the ending when
the MiGs show up to start some trouble.
13 - Don't Be Afraid
This plays during the romantic scene between Snake and Eva, and is also
a Healing Radio track. It's the only Healing Radio track with lyrics.
14 - Eva's Reminiscence
The ending sure is long, isn't it? This plays the morning after when
Snake finds and listens to Eva's recorded confession.
15 - Debriefing
The very last leg of the ending. This starts as Snake is entering his
award ceremony and plays all the way until the credits start. Too be
honest, I was getting a little worried the last part (which plays at
the end of the E3 2004 trailer) wouldn't show up.
16 - Way To Fall
This is the first non-original credits theme in Metal Gear. "Way To
Fall" is a song off of British group Starsailor's album "Love Is Here".
17 - Rock Me Baby
One of the Healing Radio tracks.
18 - Pillow Talk
One of the Healing Radio tracks.
19 - Jumpin’Johnny
One of the Healing Radio tracks.
20 - Sea Breeze
One of the Healing Radio tracks, and my personal favorite.
21 - Snake vs Monkey
The "Alert" music for the Snake vs. Monkey minigame. I'm not real fond
of this track, but probably only for the fact that I was always a
pretty upset when I heard it.

-- DESCRIPTION and "WHERE YOU HEAR" INFO --
01 - Snake Eater (Abstracted Camouflage Remix)
A hip-hop (sort of) remix of Snake Eater. It lacks the controversial
"tree frog" line, so I guess it gets points for that.
02 - Infiltration Into the Jungle
This really is pretty much the same as "One The Ground ~ Battle in
The Jungle" (Track 5, disc 1), but it lacks the part where Snake loses
his gear, and the Alert and Evasion parts are switched. The Alert theme
is a bit different from the one in the game.
03 - Escape
The second half of "Escape Through The Woods" (Disc 2, Track 8) of the
OST.
04 - Chivalry
Track 11 (disc 2) of the official OST.
05 - The Treading Behemoth
Track 7 (disc 2) of the official OST.
06 - Snake Eater (Japanese)
The Japanese version of "Snake Eater". Since it doesn't appear on the
official OST, I presume it never made it into the Japanese release of
the game. And yes, that is a woman singing.
I don't have the Artist Info for this track, so submissions are
welcome (don't just add Wada Akiko to the normal "Snake Eater" info...
I'll know if you do.

MUSIC IN MGS SERIES
________
/ 0008 |
==========================================================================
Music has played an important role in the MGS series. In this section
we'll talk about the song in each game of this series.
:: Metal Gear Solid :: (1998, Playstation)
Already in Metal Gear Solid the songs were very efficient in its purpose,
setting the surrounding and environment for the player, making the player
feel tense when he was suposed to, making the player feel relaxed when
necessary.
MGS1 had also one of the greatest Ending Themes in game industry (the best,
in my opinion), actually the game started and finished with this song,
playing some pieces during the game itself. It was the vocalized "The Best
Is Yet To Come", composed by Rika Muranaka and performd by Aoife Ní
Fhearraigh, in Gaelic.
The MGS Main Theme was composed by TAPPY and was digitally-made. With fast
beats and a really catchy music. All the further MGS themes are based upon
this one. You must listen to it to understand :)
Here are the lyrics and translation of the Ending Theme, in case you are
curious or something. The song is written and recorded in Gaelic
(language), and you can read below the original lyrics plus the Official
English Translation:
Song Title: "The Best Is Yet To Come"
==== LYRICS (Original Lyrics in Gaelic) ====
An cuimhin leat an gra
Cra croi an ghra
Nil anois ach ceol na h-oiche
Taim siorai i ngra
Leannain le smal
Leannain le smal
Lig leis agus beidh leat
Lig leis agus beidh gra
Cuimhne leat an t-am
Nuair a bhi tu sasta
An cuimhne leat an t-am
Nuair a bhi tu ag gaire
Ta an saol iontach
ma chreideann tu ann
Tug aghaidh ar an saoi
is sonas siorai inar measc
Ceard a tharla do na
laethanta sin
Ceard a tharla do na
h-oicheanta sin
An cuimhin leat an t-am
Nuair a bhi tu faoi bhron
An cuimhin leat an t-am
Go siorai sileadh na ndeaor
An ormsa na orainne a bhi
an locht
Ag mothu cailite s'ar fan
Cen fath an t-achrann is
sileadh na ndeor
Ta ailleacht sa saol
Ma chuardaionn tu e
Ta gliondar sa saol
Cuardaimis e
==== LYRICS (Translated to English) ====
Do you remember the time when little things made you happy
Do you remember the time when simple things made you smile
Life can be wonderful if you let it be
Life can be simple if you try
What happened to those days?
What happened to those nights?
Do you remember the time when little things made you so sad
Do you remember the time when simple things made you cry
Is it just me, or is it just us
Feeling lost in this world?
Why do we have to hurt each other?
Why do we have to shed tears?
Life can be beautiful if you try
Life can be joyful if we try
Tell me I am not alone
Tell me we are not alone in this world fighting against the wind
Do you remember the time when simple things made you happy
Do you remember the time when simple things made you laugh
You know life can be simple
You know life is simple
Because the best thing in life is yet to come
Because the best is yet to come
:: Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty :: (2001, Playstation 2)
In an upgraded system now (Playstation 2), and given the good sells that
the previous version had, Metal Gear Solid 2 was suposed to be a super-
production, from Graphics to Story, obsiously including the sound work.
Metal Gear Solid 2 got now an orchestrated Theme Song, wich is simply
fantastic. It was a version of the original MGS Theme, now revisited by a
Hollywood sound worker: Harry-Gregson Williams. The final work is amazing,
and fits the game very well.
The Ending Theme was once again composed by Rika Muranaka and performed by
Carla White, now not that epic as the previous one, but with a lot of
quality too. It is a voice and piano song, with a sax at the end.
The in-game music work was performed by Norihiko Hibino, and he does a
great work composing digital music for every different situation, area, and
boss.
Here's the lyrics of the Ending Theme, performed by Rika Muranaka:
Song Title: "I Can't Say Goodbye to Yesterday"
I stare at the stars, and the sky up above
And think what am I made of?
Am I full of sorrow, am I hurt and pain?
Or am I filled with Love?
I walk by myself on the streets below
And ask every child I know--
Do you think tomorrow will bring sun or rain?
Which one of these will show?
I Can't Say Goodbye to Yesterday, my friend
I keep holding on 'till the end.
Out of the darkness, there is no other way
Than the light leading to yesterday.
It's there that I'll find inner peace, not war
And dreams that I let slip away.
I will find the joyfulness, I'm looking for
Way back in yesterday.
Why can't each of us in the world ever see
The best things in life are free?
Little sounds of laughter; a warm heart; a smile;
A kiss from you to me...
I fall to my knees,
I cry and I cry,
Love, do not pass me by!
Happily ever after,
Please stay a while; make time refuse to fly.
I Can't Say Goodbye to Yesterday, my friend,
'Cause I know how good it has been...
Facing forever
Here I stand, come what may;
Bring the old, bring the new yesterday!
It's there that I'll find inner peace not war,
And dreams that I let slip away
I await the joyfulness; I'm looking for
Way back in Yesterday...
:: Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes :: (2004, Gamecube)
If you don't know, this game was a remake of the original Metal Gear Solid.
The game was a result of a partnership between Konami and Nintendo, and was
developed by Silicon Knights.
The game music were remade as well, by Norihiko Hibino. He made a good work
creating the ambient sound for each area. He also revisited the Main Theme,
what (in my conception) didn't fit too well, some of military-like music
was added, but it just isn't right. Nothing so terrible, though, it's a
decent song for a remake.
The Ending Theme was kept unspoiled (thanks God), so they used once again
"The Best Is Yet To Come" composed and performed by Rika Muranaka. One of
the greatest Ending Themes in game industry (the best, in my opinion). It
was the vocalized "The Best Is Yet To Come", composed and performed by Rika
Muranaka, in Gaelic.
:: Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater :: (2004, Playstation 2)
Well, this game you should know well, since it's what the guide covers. So
let's start with the Main Theme.
The Main Theme was composed by Harry-Gregson Williams again, the same who
composed MGS2's main theme, a great one. He added more action-like music, a
bit of new instruments and that's it. The song is brand-new, but at the end
it reminds (if not entirely copies) the MGS2 main theme. I like it very
much, and it fits the game too well.
Now, about the Opening Theme. It's the first time it happens in the series,
having an opening theme. And this one resembles the James Bond's opening
themes, and it has a purpose doing so. You can find the lyrics in this
guide (0004), vocalized by Cynthia Harrell, composed by Norihiko Hibino and
produced by Rika Muranaka. It's a great song, in my opinion, and
acomplishes its work very well.
The Ending Theme wasn't produced for the game, like it had always been
before, an existing song was picked up. The song is "Way to Fall", the
lyrics you can find in this guide (0005). The song is performed by
Starsailor. It's a beautiful song, I just don't know how to describe it.
Well, beat the game and listen to it =)
