Bygone Purpose - Friday Night Funkin' Lullaby

[TheScrapperHQ]

In the second half, the way Hypno just stands there and does not have a single frame of movement... It's like a Heavy from Pootis Engage, someone the size of a wardrobe, looming over a tombstone paying respect for the dead... I find it very emotional, intimidating and with a hint of comical.

[HollowSenny]

I know the shop guy said we shouldn't feel bad for him, but damn, it's hard not to do so with such an emotional and powerfull song

[zamnx]

really hits different after the cancelation, thank you for all the hard work you pumped out for this update and I'm sorry your songs never got to see the TRUE light of day

Lore for people who might be new to lullaby or people who might not be caught up with the Hypno creepypasta:
(A little long, but well worth it, it’s an interesting story)
This hypno is the one from the main week. His trainer and him were little and they were so close to each other, they were the bestest of friends, they had so much fun together, but then, some kids started picking on her, maybe picking on her for choosing hypno, maybe picking on her for other things, not quite sure. She wasn’t so bothered at first, but slowly, the harassment chipped at her sanity as she had nobody to help her. It got worse and worse to the point that the little girl was on the brink of a breakdown. She walked with hypno across the bridge, and there was a crowd of people. They start harassing her and making fun of her again, and unfortunately, she couldn’t take it anymore. She didn’t have anyone to help her with her struggles, so she jumped. She died in the water, maybe from impact, maybe from laying in the water, slowly drowning. The point is, nobody helped her. Nobody even felt any guilt. They all pointed and laughed at her shouting “SHE JUMPED HAHAHA” (this can be seen in the hypno origins art banbuds made) and hypno can’t do anything but look down. He is in shock. The crowd leaves eventually but all hypno can do is stare into the water. He feels like nothing without her. He realised she is all he ever had, and without her, he feels like he doesn’t have a purpose anymore (hence the name, bygone purposes). As he grows older, the trauma grows with him. He gets angrier and angrier and can’t hold his rage in, he always visits that bridge and then he swears he will get his revenge on those teens that bullied her into jumping off, and that is when he starts luring children into the forest and feasting on their dreams and fear, he also wants the parents of the children to suffer as they feel lonely and helpless, just like hypno was, staring down at his dead trainer in the water.

2:03 is the only part that gives me chills on my whole body everytime I play it.

His story might be tragic, but it caused him to turn to evil. He consciously chose the evil route.

Don't sympathise with evil. But don't fear to understand it, either.

“Don’t feel bad for him. Bastard doesn’t deserve an ounce of sympathy.”

[mistermaxie]

You know, the shopkeeper may say that he doesn't deserve an ounce of sympathy, but I'd argue that neither do the people that made his trainer jump. They deserved to die far more than Alexis, if anything, but it's just a shame that Hypno didn't stop at that and just continued to indulge his own rage by targeting innocent people. I like to imagine that after Hypno dies in Lost Cause, he reunites with Alexis, but can't exactly pass on since he did a lot of fucked up things, so Alexis basically puts him through rehabilitation to see the error of his ways by visiting worlds similar to his, which is how Pasta Night happens.

I can't believe punkett made the most emotional fnf song possible.

[archi]

I literally cried when I first played this song

[Cubby]

Never listened to the lullaby songs from v1 but these songs for v2 are actually really good. They rival sonic.exe in that case. The only creepypasta mod we got is mario madness. Let's hope it keeps Up a clean contract and doesn't get cancelled.

[dionenono]

really like the atmosphere of this song, this is truly peak fnf

[James_Pavell]

Before the update, I knew Hypno lost his owner to s//cide, but I never thought it was a CHILD

[onememeyboi]

i cannot even begin to describe how this song makes me feel
this is the saddest story that was ever told by fnf i think
goddammit, it's grave of the fireflies all over again

[farofa]

This is a very interesting take on a classic creepypasta. A Hypno that lures people to their death. Because they took his only friend and source of food(Alexis voluntarily let Hypno eat her Nightmares). With her death, Hypno who was still very young, let the hatred get to his core with time. Then went on to hunt the people who hurt her. Who took her away from him. "Don't feel bad for him, bastard doesn't deserve a single punce of sympathy" even though he is a murderer that has full conscience of what he is doing, he still did it because of Alexis' suicide. That doesn't justify his thirst for killing, but it makes us understand that he wasn't born that way. But it's too late. He's reached to a point where his body literally falls apart from concentrating only on his psychic abilities. Hence the third song's name "Lost Cause" old Hypno is gone.

[GageX]

you are for real peak FNF composer, no FNF composer can make a song that touches and makes the player feel.
ong u have a future outside of FNF in composing or making music i really mean that.

[jonathantreleven]

Someone just make a piano version of this, it hits all the emotional beats like any piece that the pokemon franchise is known for.

[the_real_boogeyman]

I generally don't like long songs with only one person singing, but this song is objectively a masterpiece. It conveys the emotion perfectly, and although I don't plan to listen to it on my own very much, it's still a certified banger

[pixwool]

I imagine the ghost girl's part is her trying to call out to Hypno, begging him not to go down the path of killing for vengeance, trying to apologize for what she did, trying to get him to stop, anything.
..But he just can't hear her.
