| 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[edit]
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, wah-wah guitar, and rhodes. 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 https://myfree-torrent.mystrikingly.com/blog/there-s-a-protest-in-town-mac-os. 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[edit]
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 singed 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 singed 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 Never More plays at the start.

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.

Origin[edit]
This song is an arrangement of the recurring Velvet Room theme that appears throughout the series, debuting in the original Revelations: Persona. Despite this, 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[edit]
- Although not present in the actual game, Life Will Change -instrumental version- and The Spirit both play during Joker's initial 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.
- On the DLC section of the Super Smash Bros. Ultimateofficial site, Aria of the Soul is listed as being from Persona 3, rather than Revelations: Persona.
