不但把DC停产后最后一波大作回光返照、世嘉转型第三方的情况概括的一针见血
连公司以后的命运都预见了
“If you beg or if you borrow
You may never find your way”
Can you feel life, movin' through your mind?
Ooh, looks like it came back for more!
(——对DC上世嘉游戏素质出众,尤其是停产后最后一波大作回光返照的自我赞扬)
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Can you feel time, slippin' down your spine?
Oooh, you try and try to ignore!
(——时代变了,今后世嘉退出第一方,但世嘉自己不甘心看到这种情况)
Yeeeah!
But you can hardly swallow
Your fears and pain!
When you can't help but follow
It puts you right back where you came!
(——尽管不甘心,也无法改变现状,只能随波逐流,回到原点,即失去自己的主机)
Live and learn!
Hanging on the edge of tomorrow
Live and learn!
From the works of yesterday-ay
Live and learn!
If you beg or if you borrow
Live and learn!
You may never find your way
(——这一段重复率最高的歌词是对世嘉以后的展望,集团要站在过去的基业上,在未来的边缘坚持求生,这个适者生存的年代,要不断适应(Live and learn)才能存活下去。但不管怎样适应,世嘉都要靠自己的力量复兴,如果借助别人的力量,甚至放下身段(If you beg or if you borrow),世嘉可能失去自己的风骨,陷入永远的迷茫(You may never find your way)。后来世嘉的命运不幸被这段歌词言中了,也就是和Sammy合并后的大地震。)
Whooooa, oh, yeah!
Can you feel life, tangle you up inside?
Yeeah! Now you're face down on the floor!
(——依然是对DC的赞扬,但不论如何世嘉已经输了,面部朝下摔在地板上)
Ooooh!
But you can't save your sorrow
You've paid in trade!
When you can't help but follow
It puts you right back where you came!
(——悲伤是没有用的,为了自己的主机梦已经付出了代价,但该回到原点还是要回到原点)
Live and learn!
Hanging on the edge of tomorrow
Live and learn!
From the works of yesterday-ay
Live and learn!
If you beg or if you borrow
Live and learn!
You may never find your way
(Hey!)
Whoa, whoa, whooa
Oh yeeeeeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
There's a face searching far, so far and wide
There's a place where you dream you'd never find
Hold on to what if?
Hold on to what if?
(——对于世嘉多年来想要将游戏推广给更多的人,想要成为主机业第一霸主梦想的概括,但世嘉却始终未能成为第一。如果有条件能够继续坚持做主机厂的话,未来又会怎样呢?)
Live and learn!
Hanging on the edge of tomorrow
Live and learn!
From the works of yesterday-ay
Live and learn!
If you beg or if you borrow
Live and learn!
You may never find your way
Live and learn!
Hanging on the edge of tomorrow!
Live and learn!
From the works of yesterday-ay!
Live and learn!
If you beg or if you borrow!
Live and learn!
You may never find your waaaaaaay!!!
Live and Learn!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Live and Learn!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

DC的索尼克大冒险1两首主题曲《It doesn't matter》和《Open your heart》就已经有大量的隐喻了
但那个也只是隐喻和双关,带入到游戏剧情里去解释也说的通
唯独大冒险2这首《Live and Learn》,与游戏最终BOSS战的剧情没什么相连的地方(wikia的那些解释比我在顶楼里写的更牵强)
所以普遍认为这一首唱的就是世嘉公司自己的命运,后来的活动每次都必唱这一首,也是这个原因
