PrinceWhateverer - [CODE PHANTOM] (Destabilize Pt.4a)

Hello, world!_

🔻 === S T U F F === 🔻
Hohoh here we are again with more robo horse tunes! I really do have some fascination with the inner struggles of knowing exactly what/who we are and what it means to be alive it seems..

ANYWAY YES ANOTHER DESTABILIZE!! Part 4a to be exact which (correctly) implies a part 4b in the not too distant future! My plan is that this and 4b will be my last Sweetiebot tracks as I don't want to just rehash the topic forever... But honestly I never planned to even make part 2 so I guess we'll see if it just happens =w= In any case I hope you enjoy this song and look forward to the next one!! :DD

Hello world
It's in my head
Maybe I'm better off-

There's a virus in the afterglow
A cipher in the source code
Something whispering in my ear
My data's in overflow
But it doesn't scare me
I think I'll be okay
Just switch me off and on again
'Cause I'm not alive anyway

I'm just a program
String of code's all I am
There's a phantom hiding inside my head
Can't shut it out
Shut it out
Shut it out
I'm not a hero
Lost in ones and zeros
Can you fix a corrupted soul inside
Or tear it out
Tear it out
Tear it out

DEAD!

Maybe it's just me
Built to snap eventually
What's the point in getting better
If it's the way I'm meant to be
You've gotta snap out of it
Just think of what your friends would say
What does it matter if you're metal
They care about you anyway

Hello world
I need your help
I can't do this all by myself
Hello world
A lifetime spent
Maybe I'm better off-

I'm just a program
Mess of code's all I am
Did my best but I think we're far too late
Just let me go
Let me go
Let me go
Puppet pony
Strings of code that hold me
As they fray and break I can finally rest
So let me go
Let me go
Let me go

Hello world
They're in my head
Echoing words old friends said
Hello world
The shadow's spread
Maybe I'm better off-

Hope y'all are having a good day fr. Feel like we all need it right now.

[MotionlessInWes]

I can’t believe this fan song of a 10+ year old My Little Pony meme actually has one of the sickest build ups and breakdowns I’ve ever heard in a song.

[Nic-ywxx]

Love that the lyrics say "Hello World" cause that's one of the first things you learn to write when learning to code

[tipprich]

The "Blue Screen of Death" followed by a brutal breakdown is definitely a mood.

[skreeran]

This feels like the saddest one yet! Sweetie is so close to acceptance! Now it's not the town and her friends that reject her, but it seems like she's rejected even the possibility of hope. I'm not gonna lie, hearing Sweetie say that she might be better off dead breaks my heart. I'm glad I saw that it's Destabilize 4a, because I don't know if my heart could take it if this was the end!

[princesscadance]

I love how the vocals at 4:53 with ‘Let me go, let me go, let me go!’ become more frantic with the final two, as if Bot has finally realized they want to be ‘let go’ and are now begging to be released.

[BlackenedBlue]

This was a lot of fun, thanks for having me again!

[StormyTh]

It's such a small detail, but I absolutely love that when it blues screens and crashes, the frown is ^:( cause she's a unicorn

[skylordawesome]

Just realized the crash message pops up at 4:04 into the song, along with the stop code being "Code: PHANTOM_PHANTOM_PHANTOM"

Excellent easter egg work

[johancasino]

Print(“I love this”)
If video == REALLY GOOD then
Print(“Really good song!”)
end

[shadowspector]

It’s my head-canon that this takes place after 4b. This is after her self-defense system has gone dormant because there is no longer any pony in Equestria whom she could view as a threat.

[NessaTheBat]

"Im not a hero, loat in of ones and zeros" just sounds so drastic and epic! The music is fitting too, you almost hear how she falls apart. This song really gives a lot of sympathy for Sweetiebot. She is more than ones and zeros.

[_GSB_]

The blue screen of death happening right at 4:04 is genius.

[erebtauramandil]

I respect that you not only consistent making great songs like this, but getting better, musically and lyrically and so on. Keep on doing what you do, bro.

[Flustershy]

The Destabilize series of songs have been some of my all time favorites in the MLP music scene, and *''CODE PHANTOM''* joins that club easily. The combination of Metal & Electronic mixed with the synth vocals just resonates with me and it's always a good time when BlackenedBlue is involved too.

So huge props for making yet another banger in this ''collection of Sweetie Bot songs''
And I can't wait for the 4b version.

[stylemagical]

I'm literally screaming.

I've discovered prince about half a year ago and I was literally obsessed with destabilize, still am.
I'm surprised to see this and super happy, thank you prince for this awesome masterpiece ✨

[sacyrus]

the "hello world" line was great for a song about a robot lmao.

[chizzicle]

just love the metaphor(?) of strings of code as the puppet strings for robots. It's so simple yet so brilliant.
Anyway, this might be favorite Destabilize part, it's either this or part 2

[Someone-dyui]

{ Life is worth protecting! }
DEFINE "Life"

[warnpeace]

I’d love a game like Doom Eternal but you’re Sweetie Bot trying to fight your corrupted programming. Where soul fights instruction to kill. I feel like it’d be a real tear jerker of a game if you start it out peacefully with your friends, before your secret gets realized.

[iminurface]

I feel like when this is all said and done, someone could make an entire feature film on Sweetiebot with just your songs alone!
