Pokémon Ruby & Pokémon Sapphire: Super Music Collection

The Hall of Fame - Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire

This song is an urgent anthem of liberation, set against a propulsive rock–dance backdrop. The narrator confronts empty material promises—chains, coins, velvet spoils—and refuses to be bought or bound. Intimate spoken-word passages give way to driving verses that expose the hollowness of wealth. A pre-chorus buildup unleashes an anthemic, declarative chorus: “Can’t buy my heart tonight.” As the narrative unfolds, starlit imagery and open-ground freedom reinforce the theme of authenticity over hollow pursuit. A stripped-back bridge strips away artifice—“drop the gold, just feel the sound”—before charging back into the final, triumphant refrain. Through dynamic contrasts between gritty guitars and polished grooves, the song champions unbreakable inner fire above all else.

Lyrics

Intro  
[Spoken softly: Your chains, your coins, your empty lies  
I won’t capitulate tonight]

Verse 1  
I feel the beat beneath my skin  
You try to bribe the fire within

Verse 2  
Velvet roads and silver spoils  
Won’t soothe the ache no riches foil

Pre-Chorus  
When all we touch becomes a hollow prize  
We lose the spark that lights our eyes

Chorus  
Can’t buy my heart, no, no  
Can’t buy my heart tonight  
You can’t buy my heart, no, no  
Can’t buy my heart tonight

Verse 3  
Under starlit skies we cast aside  
The weight of want we once supplied

Verse 4  
Now we stand on open ground  
No chains to bind the freedom found

Bridge  
Drop the gold, just feel the sound  
Let our pulses lock, unbound

Chorus  
Can’t buy my heart, no, no  
Can’t buy my heart tonight  
You can’t buy my heart, no, no  
Can’t buy my heart tonight

Outro  
Forget your coins, forget your chains  
My heart’s a flame you can’t contain
