So... I am horrible at understanding lyrics while a song is played live.
However.
From what I can tell from it, the version posted here, and my recording (which is shit, but I'll try to get onto YouTube soon)... THough, I'm first looking at uploading my camera footage to the MAGFest guys, so that's where my upload is going, at the moment.
This is a song from Mega's PoV. And it is pretty damn dark.

The lyrics, as best I can make them out:

I feel so far from home
Though he stands beside me, I feel alone
I've been built to make a choice
Sent to war without one, let's destroy

Your light is going out on me
Humanity is not what it seems
As reality plays my darkest dreams
I can fly on a dog

The end is too far for us to see
I'll make it with you here next to me
I jump high on a dog

He says, son, to save their lives
You must take the life of one, Wily dies.
How dare he call me son?
When I'm clearly a weapon, a loaded gun.

Father hides the truth, in fear
Maybe if he ignores it, we'll disappear.
Why did he give me a voice?
He'll still choose not to hear me, just white noise.

Your light is going out on me
It was you who built this uncertainty
This is your answer - another machine?
I'm just another machine.

Humanity is not what it seems
As reality plays my darkest dreams
I can fly on a dog

The end is too far for us to see
I'll make it with you here, next to me
I can drive in a dog (Underwater!)

No shoulder to cry on a dog

Whoah. Those are dark.
Very meaningful too...
I think I have a new favourite Megas Song.
Which is funny cause my other favourite was the Message.
What is it about Stage Select Themes?

I think The Megas are great, especially the lyrics... they give personalities to characters who don't even have dialogue.

Fuck those chills I got from the Gotta Run/Be The One video, Fly on a Dog is just so bone chilling.

It seriously is. When they said on their last podcast that their Rush song was their best song yet, I was kinda like "... a song about Rush/from Rush's PoV is their best? o_O"
... But then *this*. Damn.

I'm reasonably certain that the 'not a machine' parts are actually 'another machine'.

This is your answer- another machine?
I'm just another machine.

I sort of miss "not a machine". Made it seem like Mega Man was just trying to be real, like Pinocchio or something.
