[[WMG: History Repeating's songs have a different order when compiling both albums]]
The post-Robot Master songs are a mix of recurring music tracks in the game without an order, or that are being played well before what their order would suggest (History Repeating Blue has the Wily Castle Stages before 4 of the Robot Masters have been done). Besides the titular "History Repeating" songs and perhaps "Continue", I would posit that the other songs must come after "I'm Not the Breakman" properly elaborates on Proto Man's identity to Light and Rock.
Wily's apology in "Gamma Unchained" is prompted by seeing what has become of Proto Man, referencing that he hears The Red Song "again" after it first played as the intro to INtB on his reactivation and confronting Light; "Wanna Be the One (to Watch You Die)" is Light's response to that apology after Rock and Blues fight, much more emotionally charged and broken since the bitter reunion is still fresh (including Proto Man's direct call out of him as a "liar" for abandoning him); "Fly on a Dog" has Rock refer to Proto Man as his brother, something he couldn't really know before the latter discards the Breakman persona, rattled from the reveal and consigned to the idea he's a disposable killing machine like Proto Man sees himself as. This is also why "Make Your Choice" and "I Refuse to Believe" finally break Mega Man out of his spiral; besides his own pain, giving into those thoughts would consign his brother to the same, whether or not they destroy each other, and however much Rock suffers, he'd never turn away or abandon another who needs his help.

[[WMG: "History Repeating: Red" frames its Robot Master songs around the Easter Egg of being weak to their own weapons]]
Most if not all 4 of the robot masters in HR Red are framed with more personal conflicts and what could be seen as a sense of self-destructiveness: Hard Man is a champion fighter challenged to a match; Gemini Man has two personalities despairing at his chances of survival and even considers separating them in himself; Needle Man laments his design to the point of actively seeking an end to his own life; and Shadow Man deals with a fear of his own shadowy nature and purpose to kill, alluding to it having killed his old self or tearing himself apart. Magnet Man could be placed under a similar theme of "drawing [his] death to [him]," but where those are simply in the nature of his design, the Red group's nature are all directly responsible for how they die, rather than it being a factor with consequences that could not be averted. Hard Man agrees to a match despite his retirement and chooses to go out fighting rather than throw in the towel; The Gemineye persona leads Gemini Man into the trap and shoot out where he dies while looking for clues to avoid his fate; Needle Man's self-loathing leads him to welcome Mega Man's arrival to destroy him, presumably without resistance as the only way he can fight who he is; Shadow Man describes his ninja abilities as coming from "training," which can be interpreted as alluding to a long a deliberate preparation or modification that gave him the Shadow abilities that consume him, as well as how his good half is lost to his own powers' darkness. WMG though this theory is, the facts of their actions and flaws (Pride, Fear, Self-loathing, Corruption) are largely agreed to be present in the lyrics, whatever meaning a person takes from them. Self-destructive ideas and being destroyed by a part of themselves relates the idea that their own weapons can destroy them near as well as a weakness Mega Man could bring from another.

Note: This theory builds off the theory that Protoman is the Mega from Megatainment, it is one that I believe is solid and makes this one make a little more sense. Now to start: The song of course is completely a completely separate song from Part 1, despite the fact that their right next to each other in the actual album. This could be be explained by the tonal shift, but I think that just shows more that its a shift in perspective. Part 1 is more slow and depressing, more the way Megaman feels at the time, while Repeating 2 is more fast paced, and dare say it, angry. And who is said to be filled with rage at this current interval? Protoman! The brief part of Protoman coming in (if one thinks Mega is singing) doesn't have a separate singer/voice, despite the fact that they usually are at least different enough to distinguish which is singing, which quite frankly could jut be a mistake , and I won't take it as evidence, nut I thought it was worth pointing out. To pick apart some lyrics though, that helps this theory a little more. "I stand before a line in the sand/The fight lies ahead/My fate in my hands/Today the end begins" To me, at least, the line in the sand is his quest to destroy all that light stands for. The fight lying ahead is his fight with his brother, which is a surprise to Mega, in the games at least. And note he says my fate in my hands.

[[WMG: There is no canon.]]
Rather than all being parts of a single, continuing narrative, each song is a self-contained vignette describing an event in an alternate reality, or how the singer perceived the event in the games proper, or simply an alternate stylistic interpretation of events. This makes sense of the seemingly disparate nature of how the conflicts between Mega Man and the Robot Masters play out. Some robot masters reference having a "level", which would imply that they exist in something akin to how the original games portray the conflict, but others act differently. Quick Man's song talks like he's the sheriff of a frontier town, Hard Man is treated like an aging prize fighter and Mega Man's fight with him seems to be an uncharacteristic fistfight, Gemini Man gives the impression that at the very least he -thinks- he's in a city and Mega Man is tracking him down, etc. It's very hard to reconcile all of these to be taking place in the same world.
However, that doesn't mean the songs have no connection. They all take place as parts of stories that are structurally identical - that is, the rough story of the Mega Man games. There are constants. Characters that persist between songs, even if they are not the exact same character, have gone through comparable things. Wily always wages war on Light, Mega Man always fights the Robot Masters and wins, Proto Man always gets reprogrammed by Wily and so on. By providing so many different instances and takes on the same basic story, the songs of The Megas demonstrate how enduring and resonant the themes of that story are - Security and peace vs ambition and war, brother turned against brother, why people fight, soldiers questioning their actions, etcetera.
Rather than all being parts of a single, continuing narrative, each song is a self-contained vignette describing an event in an alternate reality, or how the singer perceived the event in the games proper, or simply an alternate stylistic interpretation of events.

[[WMG: Dr Light is central to Dr Wily's morality]]
It may be an instance of MoralityPet, MoralityChain, or ProtagonistCentredMorality (in canon and in the albums, he was a close friend of Dr Light before he become the villain), but he really does not want to see him come to harm and is fighting him and Megaman strictly over [[VisionaryVillain his vision for the future]]. When he resurrects Protoman, it causes him [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone immense anguish]] to [[CameBackWrong discover that he now utterly hates Dr Light]].

*This doesn't quite add up. If Wily was killed by Gamma, Mega Man wouldn't be questioning whether he should kill Wily in I Refuse (to Believe), because he'd already be dead.

[[WMG: The person Needle Man is speaking to near the end of "The Haystack Principle" is Protoman]]
Protoman, having already given up on himself, saw that Needle Man was also trying to resist his programming and came to discourage the idea. In the end, Needle Man proved Protoman wrong by allowing himself to be killed by Mega Man.
