Magna-Fi - Who I Am Lyrics






YOU!!.... never really understood me
YOU!!....always put me down
LIKE!!.... a dog that's beaten over and over
One day I'm gonna take you down

This is who I am
Not a shadow of who I want to be
Try to understand
That this is what you made me
And you're not ever gonna change me

YOU!!....underestimate my sorrow
HOW!!!.... the wreckage of my life
I!!!....tried so many times to tell you
The silence down in both of us (no excuses)

This is who I am
Not a shadow of who I want to be
Try to understand
That this is what you made me
And you're not ever gonna change me

You have made me
You can't change me
You don't know me
This is who I am

You have made me
You can't change me
You don't know me
This is who I am

[guitar solo]

This is who I am
Not a shadow of who I want to be
Try to understand
That this is what you made me
And you're not ever gonna change me

You have made me
You can't change me
You don't know me
This is who I am

You have made me
You can't change me
You don't know me
This is who I am

You have made me
You can't change me
You don't know me
This is who I am...

Magna-Fi Who I Am Comments
  1. d.... p....

    mom:it's a phase me:YOU DON'T KNOW ME! YOU CAN'T CHANGE ME! THIS IS WHO I AM! XD

  2. J.... E....

    Why hasn't there been any instrumental version of this song, yet? This song from the unused soundtrack of Shadow the Hedgehog rules!

  3. M.... O....

    December 19 2019 13 days to 2020 still listening

    M.... O....

    Me too!

    M.... O....

    @S1ncerely_Me hehe

  4. R.... ....

    Here's a link to the Devil Doom boss fight with this song. https://youtu.be/klGw-R1WFa0

  5. /.... A....

    Don't @ me, but Magna-Fi's softer songs like "This Life" and "Save Me" are better than ones like "Who I Am" and "All Hail Shadow". Of course they are good but I just like the style of the first two.

  6. R.... R....

    To me, this song represents giving into your darkest emotions, becoming the monster everyone sees you as, and getting revenge against the whole world by "wiping the slate clean."

  7. D.... G....

    I just discovered that these lost tracks for Shadow The Hedgehog exist. I know what I'm listening to from now on!

  8. D.... S....

    my old jam 😍😍😍

  9. R.... ....

    guilty pleasure

  10. X.... A....

    Heard this since 2011, I’m still listening to this song today.

    2019 anyone?

    X.... A....

    2020 now cuz

  11. F.... ....

    10 years later and I'm still hella into this

  12. M.... B....

    Ahhhh, good ol' 2000s-brand *EDGE*. It's great.

  13. J.... J....

    Here in 2019 I've JUST learned of this song and I'm mad I wasn't made aware sooner.

  14. R.... r....

    2019 ??? Crush 40 😍😍

    R.... r....

    Crush 40? Bro, you just posted cringe.

    R.... r....

    This ain't Crush 40 though...This is even better :)

  15. S.... ....

    Good stuff.

  16. A.... ....

    Based on the lyrics and tone, this sounds like it would have been used for Devil Doom instead of a barely edited version of I Am All of Me.

  17. a.... '....

    I remember the solo a bit differently.

  18. W.... M....

    THE SONG TOO EDGY FOR THE HEDGY

  19. M.... F....

    that song kinda reminds me of the end credits teen titans go.

  20. P.... R....

    If they gave sega rights,to it crush 40 would have most,likely covered it for 06 like all hail shadow

  21. S.... t....

    I’m only comment

  22. M.... O....

    Thanks to this song, i just found out my left speaker isn't working

  23. L.... A....

    the name even seems like it was supposed to be a shadow theme

  24. M.... S....

    Who thinks this needs a remix? Possibly in a Sonic game like it was originally suppose to be in?

  25. M.... ....

    This song kinda describes me, in a way. The way I am is the way I am, and no way in hell am I changing that.

  26. j.... 2....

    Sonic-his world: i'm the best
    Chaos-open your heart: sike lol
    Shadow: wait for it

  27. D.... D....

    Who I am and Big arms are pretty much the best sonic game themes

  28. T.... K....

    This is just peak edge; the epitome of the rock culture in the 2000's. This describes everything so well. Dunno why they they thought was too good for StH, though. It's good, but damn, it's not Beethoven's 3rd Symphony, Jesus.

  29. Z.... E....

    Memories

  30. C.... ....

    Thanks everyone! This is drummer Charlie formally from Magna-Fi. I read all the comments and can’t thank you enough for liking the song. Wow! I haven’t heard ours songs in awhile and it takes me back to those times. Much love and all the best to you all...

  31. D.... ....

    Can someone explain to me why there are two versions of this song? Both of them have completely different bridges, and I prefer the bridge of the other one. WaltTheHedgehog has a music video up with the preferred bridge and its the only version I've been able to find.

    D.... ....

    I think one is for the dark story and the other is for the hero story

  32. S.... P....

    They did all hail shadow. one of 'em.

  33. G.... H....

    Is anybody thinking Shadow the Hedgehog right now?

  34. f.... ....

    As good a song this is, I honestly cannot see this being the main theme of Shadow. It feels a bit too upbeat, it would probably fit more as an ending theme than anything.

  35. F.... ....

    this is perfect for an emo with a foot fetish

    F.... ....

    @Flameman Because of the picture? It doesn't have anything to do with the song though...

    F.... ....

    @DλRKDλNTE half is the song the other half is the picture. I wonder who's foot it is

    F.... ....

    @Flameman Since you're the one wondering whose foot it is, I kinda think you're the one here with a foot fetish, not gonna lie.

    F.... ....

    @DλRKDλNTE lmao, touche, touche. Well, I'm not an emo so ain't perfect for me

    F.... ....

    @Flameman Ok lol

  36. B.... B....

    Who's here because of Shadow??

    B.... B....

    Bomber Blurr like fuckin everyone

  37. N.... O....

    This could've been used as the final boss theme, fits best that way in my opinion.

    N.... O....

    Totally!

  38. E.... R....

    there was another song called broken by sins of a divice mother (sorry for my spelling) was gona (sorry for my spelling again) be the semi-hero theme but they couldn't contact wiles so there song was replace by A2 called chosen one. the band had another song called all of me was gona be I think the semi-dark theme but this song has been a lost track. magna fi had another song called all hail shadow is the hero theme.

    E.... R....

    I forgot magna fi broke up in 2010 and sins of a divice mother broke up in a unknow year (2 of the members of sins of a divice mother went to A2 and change there name to mona lisa overdrive

    E.... R....

    hope someone reply.

  39. J.... S....

    The universal anthem of killing your dad.

  40. Y.... ....

    I think this would have been a better main theme than I Am All Of Me.

  41. R.... ....

    Kinda Glad this didn't end up the theme the Song is Dope, but it's a bit too I don't wanna say good cuz the Vocal Tracks in Shadow are super good, but I dunno just doesn't seem to fit I guess

    R.... ....

    It fits perfectly, honestly I don't know what the fuck you're on.

  42. C.... N....

    Would it perfectly for the Devil Doom fight. The lyrics make it more personal.

  43. B.... ....

    Every second of the first tones is on my right headphone and every other on my left one.Also: F-Zero GX anyone? I think if Shadow was a driver that'd be his theme there.

    B.... ....

    Fuck yea

  44. J.... S....

    This theme seems like it would have been appropriate for the closing theme, because Shadow says "This is who I am" in all the endings. Never Turn Back is good, but this would have been so much better to tie all of Shadow together.

  45. c.... ....

    That guitar solo at 2:01 is the one of the most badass things I've heard

  47. S.... S....

    2018 Anyone?

  48. S.... N....

    All Hail Shadow!

    S.... N....

    Heroes rise again! Obliterating everything that's not your friend!

    S.... N....

    Wrong song, guys.

  49. Z.... ....

    Who I Am x Sonic Drive?...

    Anyone...?

  50. F.... t....

    the ultimate life form ,

  51. T.... K....

    Fun fact. There are 2 versions of this song because version one at 2:02 it starts with a very different riff than the versechoruskillme version(which is this video). The only video that I could track down of the first mix was an amv of shadow the hedgehog by a YouTuber called "Walthedgehog".

  52. K.... H....

    *Takes breath, Speaks instrument*

  53. C.... L....

    Is there anyone else here who did NOT come from Shadow The Hedgehog?

  54. S.... G....

    Now there's a Y chord in music. Because the chords for this song are E D G Y over and over again

  55. S.... ....

    17 people never really understood

    S.... ....

    And they're not ever gonna change.

  56. p.... f....

    the best workout music tbh

  57. A.... H....

    In the beginning it transitions from each headphone

    A.... H....

    Nitras gameplayz HD ikr lol

    A.... H....

    It honestly fucked me up

    A.... H....

    Hell yea

    A.... H....

    It also does that around 2:38

  58. B.... A....

    Theme of emos everywhere

  59. O.... t....

    ok, the description says that this was intended as the main theme. but where is the source on that?

    i'm open to links and replies. only asking this because sonic fandom is hilariously prone to misinformation, and i'd just like to clear up that loose end

    O.... t....

    By "Sonic fandom", you mean the fanbase or the website Sonic News Network? If you mean the fanbase, then here's where the fanbase found it out I think: https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Who_I_Am

  60. J.... A....

    2:00 why dose the guitar solo sound different from the other version I heard, literally it's the same song but it has a different guitar solo.

  61. P.... D....

    I remember hearing this from that beyblade video I saw that day...

    P.... D....

    Pegasus vs Serpent

    P.... D....

    Same here but mostly from the lost and found album

  62. P.... ....

    Ultimate *Edgelord*

  63. P.... S....

    Shadow the Hedgehog XD

  64. M.... D....

    This is better than I am All of Me.

    M.... D....

    Michael Dexter yes, most of magna fi’s discography is better. Listen to the album, it’s on Spotify

  65. D.... ....

    That moment you become moody due to hormonal changes.

  66. G.... C....

    Why didn't pick this song? It's pretty edgy, cool, perfect to Shadow. OMG, I really love it. My ears are feeling the edgyness in a 100%. It sounds in my head NOW. It's pretty catchy and antihero!!

  67. L.... ....

    In 2017, it still sounds good.

    L.... ....

    what brought you all here

    L.... ....

    JonesBrothersProductions fun fact. This is actually the second mix of this song. The only difference between this and the other is the riffs at 2:01.

    L.... ....

    JonesBrothersProductions 100th like + and 2018

  68. X.... M....

    I have a question, is this a different version? I have this same song, but it has a much different guitar riff, this one sounds much more hardcore than the version I have, could someone clear this up for me?

    X.... M....

    Could be some kind of prototype version, if you have a unofficial music player, a lot of it originates from soundcloud and you can find some pretty weird and unheard stuff there.

    X.... M....

    Omega Slav I downloaded this song way back when, around 2006/2007, Im pretty sure I downloaded it via Limewire.

    X.... M....

    Then it is very possible you are one of the few people who have a direct copy of it.

    X.... M....

    Omega Slav you think if I upload it to youtube it would be taken down? Would be nice to show you the differences.

    X.... M....

    You should be fine.

  69. R.... K....

    And yet no one's made a video with the lyrics for Sins of a Divine Mother's Tick yet. In fact, I'm having to email the band in order to get them. Someone needs to write lyrics for all of the Shadow the Hedgehog tracks.

  70. T.... U....

    Fun fact, they didn't give Sega the right to use this song in Shadow The Hedgehog because they thought it was too good for them to use, because when someone gives Sega the right to use their song in a Sonic game, they get the rights to use it in any other games.

    T.... U....

    Nope, that was NOT the reason.
    Their label Azera didn't allow them to use the track in Shadow The Hedgehog, so they composed All Hail Shadow instead.

    T.... U....

    But who cares anyways? Magna-Fi doesn't exist anymore, unfortunately.

    T.... U....

    Jackasses!

    T.... U....

    @Apple Slipper Almost Dead was made by Powerman 5000

    T.... U....

    False. Sega decided to use only All Hail Shadow, and this song ended up in their album.

  71. M.... C....

    Planeta sonic me trouxe aqui.

  72. S.... ....

    Behold, The definitive version of Shadow the Hedgehog's theme!



    Also, I nominate "Throw it all away" for Shadow's dark form (If he had one)

  73. G.... J....

    This should be the main theme for sonic forces because the term who I am can also apply to the concept of creating your own character!

    G.... J....

    James Levay But in shadow the hedgehog, shadow in the end says "THIS IS WHO AM" if evil or not

    G.... J....

    @Jiuuu favorite part of the games story is that. THIS IS WHO I AM

  74. G.... ....

    Deadpool in a nutshell

    G.... ....

    OMG THATS RIGHT

  75. T.... S....

    FINALLY, I'VE GOT ALL OF THE CHAOS EMERALDS!
    I'M SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG!
    *THIS IS WHO I AM!*

  76. B.... ....

    who i am... i am all of me.

    B.... ....

    THIS IS WHO I AM

    B.... ....

    THIS IS WHO I AM... MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! *evil laugh*

  77. N.... ....

    This sounds different from the one I heard before… did they make two versions of the same song?

  78. b.... ....

    ITS NOT A pHASE MOM-

    b.... ....

    XD HILARIOUS

    b.... ....

    Original the Joke.
    Do not steal.

    b.... ....

    BIG FUNNY THING HA

    b.... ....

    here as a response bc ur comment is the fourth

  79. K.... ....

    *I AM THE ULTIMATE HEDGEHOG!!!!!!!!!*

  80. K.... O....

    if this song was in the game I would rate this the Best song in the game instead of never turn back

    K.... O....

    OH MAN WHAT AN OPINION

  81. A.... S....

    i've known this song for years yet this is the first time i heard this guitar solo. what the hell?

    A.... S....

    Who knows, maybe they added it into this version.

  82. J.... ....

    why is this not shadows theme. ITS PERFECT SEGA!!!!

    J.... ....

    The artists realized it was too good to give Sega all right to. :P So they made All Hail Shadow instead.

    J.... ....

    ShinyUmbreon I have mixed opinions about this

  83. S.... ....

    Sick song, would've been awesome if it was in the game!

    S.... ....

    Master Zyrel The lyrics sound like it's happening during the final story events

    S.... ....

    I can agree, but I don't think it fits the theme of Shadow trying to find out who he is. This song sounds like the singer is blaming the person they are talking to for making them the person they are. By contrast, I Am All of Me sounds like the singer is accepting that they are the person they made themselves to be.

    Basically, Who I Am is a teenager blaming the world for their problems, and I am All of Me is an adult taking responsibility for their problems.

    S.... ....

    Actually it was going to be in shadow the hedgehog

    S.... ....

    If u didnt know that

    S.... ....

    it was going to be the theme against Black Doom

  84. R.... ....

    Funnily enough, I heard this in an AMV completely unrelated to Shadow the Edgehog.

    R.... ....

    same dude

    R.... ....

    Did you seriously say "edgehog?" That stupid joke got old a long time ago...

    R.... ....

    Eddie The Head "edgehog"
    who hell even says that

    R.... ....

    Why has no one made a shadow tribute with this song

  85. U.... n....

    After 8 years, I've finally found this song.

    U.... n....

    wow a long time xd

    U.... n....

    I just found it today from a related video from one of Shadows themes almost dead.

  86. C.... H....

    I wish Family guy had this song as their theme. It really suits them.

    C.... H....

    What drugs are you on and where can I get them?

    C.... H....

    What the fuck

    C.... H....

    Is this the epic Family Guy reboot we always hoped for?!

  87. R.... M....

    I guess we cant have beaten dogs in a sonic game, but Damn, Hell, and Black Aliens and shooting guns and killing the humans is alright.

    R.... M....

    +ablaze291206 correction crush 40 did a cover of all hail shadow for sonic 06

    R.... M....

    maybe SEGA loves dog and can't stand having it in the song
    or maybe Shadow is secretly a dog-person

    R.... M....

    Yeah, the same thing happened to Broken and All Of Me by Sins of a Divine Mother, too. SEGA couldn't contact the bands to license out the songs fast enough, so they had to go with what they knew they could get. Plus, both bands still got a track in the game, albeit Sins getting theirs on a technicality. Magna-Fi got All Hail Shadow, and Sins TECHNICALLY got Chosen One, because two of their members are also part of A2/Mona Lisa Overdrive (same band, they just changed their name), who did that song.

    R.... M....

    Magna-Fi loved the song so much they didn't want to sell it. If it appeared in the game, it would be SEGA's song.

    R.... M....

    My favorite is Tick. :3

  88. T.... ....

    My soul song

  89. I.... N....

    WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD THIS?! Seriously! I have looked everywhere to find a free mp3 download of this. I cannot find one that will download. It's ridiculous.

    I.... N....

    @***** I watch these off the app. Thanks, though.

    I.... N....

    @Red Dawn copy the link and go to mp3juices.cc

  90. K.... ....

    Now this is great. Their only song that actually is in a Sonic game was overshadowed by the Crush 40 cover, in my opinion, so I always thought that MAGNA-FI didn't have a worthy song for the series.

    K.... ....

    +Caleb Jaaniste (K-leb) Over-SHADOWED! :D

    K.... ....

    What's the game? Thanks :)

    K.... ....

    @Comedy Group Shadow the Hedgehog.

    K.... ....

    Thank you :)

    K.... ....

    It's a shame how little attention Magna-Fi got before they disbanded. They're like a Foo Fighters, Bush, and Nirvana (all great alternative/grunge bands from the 90s) hybrid. But they got even less recognition than Veruca Salt (another great 90s band, check em out too). But I hear they all live as normal people now.

  91. d.... ....

    As much as thsi game had its flaws (GET TO THE CONTROL ROOM!) it gave depth to shadow, oh and had awesome music!

    d.... ....

    WHATS UP FELLOW METALLICA FAN NICE METALLICA RULESS METALLLLLL \m/

    d.... ....

    You mean "Find the computer room!"?

    d.... ....

    @Winnie the Fooh oh potato banana

    d.... ....

    "Get to the control room" Shadow the Hedgehog 2

  92. S.... ....

    6 people never really understood him

    S.... ....

    XD HILARIOUS

    S.... ....

    18 people tried to change him.

    S.... ....

    Now 27 people underestimated his sorrow

    S.... ....

    28 people dont know him

  93. A.... R....

    Why wasn't this Shadow's original theme?
    This is perfect!

    A.... R....

    it was supposed to be the hero theme actually

    A.... R....

    Damn this comment is old

    A.... R....

    +Patrick “SonicDude500” McGregor good point

    A.... R....

    because they couldn't contact the band and this would have be the closing theme (last story theme) or could be a remix of never turn back by crush 40 or the remix of I am all of me called I am all I am

    A.... R....

    @2pac Westside not true but thanks anyway
