WE MAKING IT OUT OF THE STUDIO WITH THIS BEAT!

[AuthorSharuru]

DaGames don't even need to ask, we are constantly being proud of their masterpieces

[milleniumonion]

I have no clue why, but I kinda love a bunch of these "im a tired creator and im going to express that frustration while sticking to the prompt" songs. Like, theres still that same effort even if its the end/a vent, and it feels more real, probably because the emotion behind it is real, but still can apply to the media they are talking about

[Tiagx]

"Are you proud of me now?" is something that just SCREAMS Bendy vibes
like the "The Creator lied to us" and "He will set us free" written on the walls and all those stuff, same energy and I LOVE that

[_Funniman]

I think there is a deeper meaning in this song.

I noticed that most of the lyrics point towards being tired, overwhelmed, and always being needed for something. I believe Will is telling us how we the community can be exausting and frustrating at times. I also believe this is (probably) a farewell message to the BATIM community.

It's like a BATIM version of "This Comes From Inside".

[zatderpscout]

I can’t help but see inspiration from Sisyphus’s punishment in Greek mythology with Audrey being forced to endlessly drag the ink machine

[gabrielthegamingking]

The game: dark, gloomy, probably fits best with a metal song.
The song: upbeat, funky, electro swing, still an absolute bop that somehow fits.



HOW!?

[MrDiceZack]

I've been listening to DAgames for 4 years now and I'm STILL not tired of it

[jaydeesc]

After listening to the song many times since its release, I couldn't help but go back to one of Will's older videos from over 6 years ago, back before Gospel of Dismay was released, when he made a quick vlog expressing his worries regarding the song and how it would impact the way his content is perceived. To clarify, Will worried that Gospel would contribute to a negative stigma that he is only known for his Bendy stuff, while his original work is ignored. He was reassured by many people that such a thing wouldn't happen. Then... the absolute cataclysm that was the pre-release to Instruments of Cyanide. I'll never forget it. I was like 12 or 13 when it all went down. Constant, obssesive comments demanding the song be released, inconsiderate *ssholes leaking early versions of it, and even somebody going out of their way to threaten calling the cops on Will if he didn't release the song!!! It was an absolute catastrophe, and all of it culminated in a short stream, where Will rightfully called out this horrid behaviour. Now, here we are, all these years later, and the lyrics of this new song speak VOLUMES to me. This is just my own interpretation, but I can see the amount of frustration and fatigue expressed here. While I myself am not a proffesional musician, I can understand the anger one tends to feel when they are constantly seen as a one-trick pony. It is hugely demoralizing and exhausting, and it makes one feel like they are always stagnant and unable to evolve. If this truly is your last Bendy, or fandom, song in general, Will, I just want you to know that you are amazing at your craft and I am excited to see where you go from here!
Things are certainly looking up!

[violetwave]

When you think about it, the title of this song can be interprated in many different ways

First and foremost, as Will talking to his audience and asking us if we're proud of his work despite it not being exactly what we asked for (which the answer is, obviously, yes)

But it also applies to all the main character of BATDR:

Audrey, daughter and heir of Joey Drew, looking for her place in the world and trying to bring back the glory days of the crooked empire her father left for her behind him

Wilson, son of Nathan Arch, director of Archgate, a flourishing enterprise, who always lived in his father's shadow and wished to one day look up to him and become his equal

And finally, the Ink Demon itself. First creation and "son" of Joey Drew, deemed as imperfect and cast away in the darkness, slowly becoming insane due to isolation, and only wanting to be loved

Lyrics with japanese:
歌詞の日本語訳を書いてみた

You've heard this all before
君も全部聞いたことがあるだろう
I'm sat still staring at paper
私は紙とにらめっこしながら座っている
There's things behind the page for later
後にとっておいてあるものがページの裏にあるんだ
Oh I've grown tired
ああ、もう疲れてしまった
Drinking senselessly and wild
ただヤケになって飲み散らかして
I've been yearning for surprise
驚くようなことがないかあくびでもしていたら
And now they've caught me in this chamber
この部屋に閉じ込められた

There's new profanity displayed
彼らがレバーを引くたびに
As they pull on the lever
また新しく罰当たりな言葉が現れる
So they made our homes filled with deceivers
それで我が家が嘘つきだらけになっていった
Oh it's gone too long
ああ、時間がかかりすぎている
The machine was built too strong
マシンはあまりにも強く作られていた
Now it seeps through my core
今は私の芯まで染みわたり
And keeps me held to inky craters
この真っ黒なクレーターに閉じ込められている

(Make me feel alive)
生きている実感がする

Lies
嘘
Lies
嘘
It was pain on the wall
それは壁に塗られた痛みだ
The size of this beating heart
この大きな鼓動が
Takes us all back down again
またみんなを堕としていく
I reopened memories
私は記憶を取り戻した
You stood and took the bow
あなたはお辞儀をした
Are You Proud Of Me Now?
今、私を誇りに思ってくれていますか

(We want you
君が欲しい
we want you here to work for us right now)
今すぐここで我々のために働いてほしい
I worked hard to walk away from here
ここから抜け出すために頑張って来た
Are You Proud Of Me Now?
誇りに思ってくれますか
(We need you
君が必要だ
we need to show you've not moved on right now)
今すぐ君が行っていないか見せてもらわなくては
I sank deep you stuck me on repeat
深く沈んで何度もあなたに貼り付けられる
Are You Proud Of Me Now?
今、あなたは私を誇りに思ってくれていますか

Want you here
君が欲しい
Need you here
君が必要だ
Need to show you've got more work
君にもっと仕事があることを見せなければ
Right now
今すぐ
Work work work right
今すぐ
Work work right now now
今すぐ取り掛かるんだ

They want me here
彼らは私を欲しがっている
They need me here
彼らは私を必要としている
They have to show me I've got work right now
彼らは私が今すぐ仕事に取り掛かるように示そうとしている

Deceived by carnal horns
肉に飢えたツノに惑わされ
Ripping organs out by the cleavers
クリーバーで内臓を引きずり出される
Too soon to say I'm a believer
まだ私が信じているというには早すぎる
Oh how I tried
ああ、どんなに試しても
To get lost when worlds collided
世界が食い違うところで迷ってしまう
Find my own way once decided to get off the ground
私が一度決めた道を見つけるために飛び立った
But you dragged me down
でもあんたに引きずり降ろされた

How's my family?
私の家族は？
Where's my sanity?
私の正気は？
Better never knowing when the cavernous reality
虚ろな現実には気が付かない方がいい
Settles in
落ち着いても
I won't win
勝てるわけじゃない
Can't begin to tell you everything's a lie
何もかも嘘だと言ったところで何も始まらない
And I'm a victim of insanity
私は狂気の犠牲者だ
Leaving me to rot to absorb what soon is lost
じきに失うもののために私を腐らせていく
Hoping unity
団結が
Brings me community
共同体を作り上げると願って
Hoping on a pipe dream never to redeem
私が生きている実感を感じられなくなったら
When they stop making me feel alive
決して報われない無いものねだりにしがみついて

(We want you
君が欲しい
We want you here to work for us right now)
今すぐここで我々のために働いてほしい
(We need you
君が必要だ
We need to show you've not moved on right now)
今すぐ君が行っていないか見せてもらわなくては
(We want you
君が欲しい
We want you here to work for us right now)
今すぐここで我々のために働いてほしい
(We need you we need you we need you)
君が必要だ　君が必要だ　君には
You've not moved on
行かれたら困るんだ

Lies
嘘
Lies
嘘
It was pain on the wall
それは壁に塗られた痛みだ
The size of this beating heart
この大きな鼓動が
Takes us all back down again
またみんなを堕としていく
I reopened memories
私は記憶を取り戻した
You stood and took the bow
あなたはお辞儀をした
Are You Proud Of Me Now?
今、私を誇りに思ってくれていますか

(We want you
君が欲しい
we want you here to work for us right now)
今すぐここで我々のために働いてほしい
I worked hard to walk away from here
ここから抜け出すために頑張って来た
Are You Proud Of Me Now?
誇りに思ってくれますか
(We need you
君が必要だ
we need to show you've not moved on right now)
今すぐ君が行っていないか見せてもらわなくては
I sank deep you stuck me on repeat
深く沈んで何度もあなたに貼り付けられる
Are You Proud Of Me Now?
今、あなたは私を誇りに思ってくれていますか
(We want you
君が欲しい
We want you here to work for us right now)
今すぐここで我々のために働いてほしい
I played nicely for the longest time
私は長いこといい子ぶってきた
Are You
あなたは
Proud Of
私を
Me Now?
誇りに思いますか？
(We need you
君が必要だ
we need to show you've not moved on right now)
今すぐ君が行っていないか見せてもらわなくては
The dark secrets have deprived me of light
暗い秘密が私から光を奪った
And I'll find it down below
そして私が下で見つけてみせる

Want you here
君が欲しい
Need you here
君が必要だ
Need to show you've got more work
君にもっと仕事があることを見せなければ
Right now
今すぐ
Work work work right
今すぐ
Work work right now now
今すぐ働くんだ

They want me here
彼らは私を欲しがっている
They need me here
彼らは私を必要としている
They have to show me I've got work right now
彼らは私が今すぐ仕事に取り掛かるように示そうとしている

I paid the toll for staying dormant
眠っていた分のツケを払ってきた
By the side of the curb again
また縁石の横で
Come and flow with me
私と流れに乗って
Close your eyes and you will see
目を閉じればあなたもわかる
He brought us all to die again
彼が私たちをみんな死なせるために集めたんだと
Are You Proud Of Me Now?
あなたは誇りに思ってくれていますか？

You stood and took the bow...
あなたはお辞儀をした・・・
Are you proud of me now?
私を誇りに思ってくれていますか？

[katiecreart]

Who knew a song in black-and-white with a dark side could be so full of light and color?! Amazing!!!

[crazyakira]

Do I even need to say anything? This song is like always, a bop! Will, you're just the best! You help persons through tough times, and make masterpieces, but aren't nearly thanked enough...so I'll do it. On the behalf of everyone of your fans, THANKS FOR EXISTING WILL!❤️❤️❤️

[zacharyrosemann]

"you stood and took the bow, are you proud of me now?"

Oh Will, we've always been proud of you

Absolutely fantastic song man, it's a nice blend of every Bendy song that has come before it and a perfect end to the Bendy era of DAGames

[RelentlessSketchStudios]

1:43 When Will popped off here in this part, it gave me GOOSEBUMPS.

[Vexiled]

In this portion of the song at 2:02
"(We want you, we want you here to work for us right now
We need you, we need to show you've not moved on right now
We want you, we want you here to work for us right now
We need you, we need you, we need you
You've not moved on)
Lies, lies, it was pain on the walls (Moved on, moved on, on right now)
The size of this beating heart takes us all back down again (Moved on, moved on, on right now)
I reopened memories (Moved on, moved on, on right now)
You stood and took the bow
Are you proud of me now?"

The animation shows a inky figure in a white abyss reaching out to a door labelled with the HVMN sigil (I believe that was the name), which is Will Ryan's personal work in the form of short stories, but the door is then covered in ink and a lock surrounded by the shape of Bendy's face

"You've not moved on" is to signify that no matter how hard he tries to make his work personal, he can't move past what truely started his career, making songs for games that caused his own personal works to get suffocated

His original works need to be listened to, and not just his game works, it's a shame very few care enough to do so

[fxllenxangel]

I LITERALLY RUN TO MY ROOM TO GET MY HEADPHONES AND LISTEN TO THIS MASTERPIECE ✨

[Catnap-xing]

From “Build Our Machine “ To “Are You Proud of Me Now?” The ride was fun to experience

[spaghetti_underscore]

yes dagames, we are proud of you now, its been 7 years since you made build our machine, we wont force you to make a B3NDY song yet, take your time, please dont quit making music

[MinecraftWorld]

Will…

We are all very proud of you. Not just for this, but for everything you’ve made.

What an absolute BOP!!!
