I need more affection than you know
Yeah, I was him
So, and now, turn it down
Why?
He was Ansem, he was Ansem
I need more affection than you know

Wasn't it easy?
Yeah, I was him
We all three grew
I hear I was Ansem, I hear I was Ansem
I need more affection than you know

And now you shall sleep
Yeah, it was real, and I never knew it
(close it)
Now in terrible sleep, he finally listens
I hate emotion
I need true emotions
I need more affection than you know

I need true emotions
I will not destroy them
So many ups and downs
He was Ansem, he was Ansem
I need more affection than you know

Wasn't it easy?
Yeah, I was him
We all three grew
I hear I was Ansem, I hear I was Ansem
I need more affection than you know

And now you shall sleep
Yeah, it was real, and I never knew it
(closing hurry)
Even we still laugh, we shall be back
He was Ansem, he was Ansem
I need more affection than you know

Yeah, and I was him
We all three grew
I hear I was Ansem, I hear I was Ansem
I need more affection than you know

Yeah, it was real, and I never knew it
I need more affection than you know...

    General Comment:Among the YT KH fan community, there is a conspiracy theory, that this was done on purpose. In Sanctuary, they deliberately made certain parts go backwards. They KNEW someone would want to know what it says and would reverse it.

    youtube.com/…

    It turned out to be very Riku oriented

    and if you think about it, Sanctuary was about Sora, kinda Rikus opposite.

    Simple and clean was about Kairi, and the backwards version is seen by many to be about Namine, which is very much -forward thinking- on Nomuras part I must say, then again they used Simple and Clean in CoM, so its no wonder we think like that.

    youtube.com/…


    But thats just me =P

    General Comment:Urrrm, I'm not sure of the FULL meaning but I dod know its from Rikus view, as he becomes Ansem, and it says: We three grew, refering to him Sora and Kairi. The parts about needing true emotions is probably abour him being engulfed in the darkness for so long he has forgotten true emotions. and I need more affection that you know is probably linked to the fact he is alone and in effect, Kairi chose him over Sora.
    Some say that he's speaking to Sora in that point, thus giving reason to believe he could even be attracted to Sora. But only if your a SoraXRiku shipper ;]
