Dreams of an Absolution is the theme of Silver the Hedgehog in the 2006 Sonic the Hedgehog game. It is performed by Lee Brotherton of the Remix Factory. Like Sonic's theme "His World", there are multiple versions of the song. These are the in-game original, a "Nightlight" remix, a "K-Klub" Remix, and a "Lee Brotherton vs. Jun Senoue" remix.
In correspondence with Silver's storyline, all versions of the song have a "futuristic" aspect to them. The original is somewhat of an upbeat electronic song and the K-Klub remix is even more upbeat. The Nightlight remix is a slower, semi a capella version, while the LB vs JS version is much more rock oriented as Jun Senoue produced its music track.
There is a small similarity in the song to the Green Hill Zone music. Lee Brotherton has stated this was not intentional, but is appreciated.
The lyrics are nearly identical in all versions (the only difference being backup vocals) and simply play at different speeds.
lyrics[]
In the night light
Do you see what you dream?
All your troubles
Are they all what they seem?
Look around you
Then you may realize
All the careachers saw with the light
And I might know of our future
But then you still control the past
Only you know if you'll be together Only you know if we shall last
In the night light
Do you still feel your pain
all the valor
You wait; it never came
If you were able
Would you go change the past
To mend a faux pas With one last chance
And I might know of our future
But then you still control the past
Only you know if you'll be together tonight
'Cause every night I will save your life
And every night I will be with you
'Cause every night I still lay awake
And I dream of an absolution
'Cause every night I will make it right
And every night I will come to you
But every night it just stays the same In my dream of an absolution
In the night light
Do you see what you dream
All your triumph
And all you'll ever be
Look around you
Then you may realize
Happiness lies trapped in misery
And who knows what of our future
We can all try to change the past Only you know if you'll be together tonight
instramentel or guitar solo, depending on the version
And you'll see
What you'll be
And you'll see All you can be
'Cause every night
And every night (every night) I will dream
And you'll see
That this is my I dream [ yeah]
and every night,
I will dream
