Why is "Suddenly I See" in L:RB?

[FreezeRokk]

These are the lyrics from the chorus

"Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me"

I thought this was a family friendly game.

I'd say because most kids know what hell is, since we spend time scaring them with it...

That sounds weird, because I remember seeing somewhere here that there was song that was omitted because it said "Oh Lord." Both are very christian and I don't see why one would be allowed in and the other not.

I would argue that hell is being used as an adjective to further the interrogative (Why?) than using it as a noun referencing the place where sinners so.

I guess this is a fair and kid-friendly usage of the word.

I think that there's a different set of standards for on-disc songs versus DLC filtered songs.

I'm more confused by Monster, which seems to be blatantly about hallucinogens or dissociatives.

i think most kids have already heard the song since its on so you think you can dance and american idol when people get kicked off. i also couldnt see the song selling well as normal dlc so lego could have been the only way to get it in the game.

That's terrible.

Also, Caprici di Diablo was also blocked out, I assumed because it said "Diablo" in it since it has no lyrics. I don't see why there should be such a double standard.

On-disc songs were chosen by TT Games and have passed through the ESRB, so they factored into the game's E10+ rating (it probably could have gotten an E rating if they had played it totally safe).

It's not clear exactly who's in charge of filtering the DLC, but it seems that it's a different set of people (most likely just the audio team at HMX), and for the most part they appear to be erring on the very safe side, and tagging anything that might be remotely controversial. Why? Who knows.

Any speculation as to why some songs are included and some are not is just that, speculation.
