From Silver’s perspective, *NSYNC’s “Thinking of You (I Drive Myself Crazy)” becomes a confession of guilt and regret over his relationship with Blaze. The song’s core—about realizing too late what one had, and how one’s mistakes destroyed it—maps onto Silver’s longing for Blaze, someone who once stood by him with warmth and trust.

Silver looks back on moments when Blaze needed reassurance, but instead of offering it, he second-guessed her or let his insecurities dominate. In this retelling, the lyrics reflect his obsessive thoughts: he replays her voice in his head, every word of disappointment echoing louder than the last. Blaze was always steady and devoted, but Silver’s doubts and missteps—perhaps pushing her away, perhaps failing to act when she needed him most—caused the rift.

The repeated refrain of “I drive myself crazy” takes on a literal sense in Silver’s psyche: he’s trapped in loops of time and thought, haunted by visions of what could have been if only he had trusted in Blaze’s bond. His psychic powers, usually a tool for saving the future, become instead a curse as they amplify his fixation and inability to move forward.

Where the original song speaks broadly about lost love, in this recontextualization Silver is tormented by the fact that Blaze may now look elsewhere for connection—whether toward Sonic or her duty as guardian of the Sol Emeralds—while he remains stuck in regret. The song becomes Silver’s lament: a vow that he sees his faults clearly now, but too late to stop Blaze from slipping out of reach. It is a bittersweet, obsessive reminder that his greatest enemy is not fate or chaos, but himself.
