LYRICS:
Bow: Contestants get to have all the fun
If you're on the show you've already won
Now that I no longer compete
I feel incomplete
Taking part in the action
made for easy interaction with friends
And nothing was the same
once it wasn't just a game
I never wanted it to end
I hope that I could feel alive again!

Marshmallow: Contestants are divided for fun
They face challenges that are never done
Since every single person you meet
Could cause your defeat
All they want is your reaction
As you become a fraction, a blend
Between who you really are
And what you know could get you far
It's not meant for us to transcend
We have someone upon whom we depend

Bow and Marshmallow: We have someone upon whom we depend...
...In fact when I
Think of that life
It isn't really living
At all.

Bow misses the competition for its ability to connect people. Marshmallow detests it for breaking bonds and damaging self identity. They sing about it.

[AnimationEpic]

Notification Squad - where you at??
Do we have someone upon whom we depend?

[maligulant]

I just realized, Bow’s part focuses of the Bright Lights, who are more closely emotionally related,
But Marsh’s part focuses of the Grand Slams, a team emotionally divided.
Wow.

2017: I relate to bows point of view
2020: I relate to marshmallows point of view

“Just from a logical perspective, shouldn’t you receive what you provide”
*Toilet looks at MePhone*

_mY hEaRT_

2:34 it was at this moment where marshmellow remembered she is dead

[MagicKailee]

I've always loved this song.
It seems to give off more than just two friends from different worlds having a conversation, but two friends from different worlds having a conversation about life in song.
It's sad, but the true meaning of this song is actually not to change yourself and life is not always greener on the other side.

[TheFuzzyOcelot]

The way Toilet glances at MePhone before saying “not always” makes me feel bad for him.

[starstruck]

This is too powerful... i'm holding back tears

[frostymystical_]

Bow’s opening surpirsed me.
Marshmallow’s part hit me.
The duet part made me swallow really hard.

Toilet’s part made me cry.

[lamaya]

2:46 Dough: Nope. I ain’t doin this anymore

[edwardtan]

This song really is true;
The bullies just want your reaction as you become smaller.

[sully]

Bow: The old one that wants to be young

Marsh: The kid that wants to be a grown-up

[aquamarine]

I'm walking around at school, adorned in my Test Tube T-shirt, singing this song. Everybody is asking. I am laughing. "If I explained it, it wouldn't do the show justice."

[Jimmy_Turner]

AnimationEpic, this is why your object show is SO LEGENDARY!!! Because it just gives me some sad feelings and it hits me right in the chest! Every little aspect of each episode is like, "OMG" or "I'm so touched!" Also, it has music DURING a few episodes.

As for the other object shows, they are almost the same. They are only there for humor mostly. Your show has a little humor but it makes sense. And that is why I subscribed to you from the start. I hope you feel proud for your incredibly hard work!

[CamStudioz]

This show is slowly becoming more darker, and more sadder...

[storr]

Everybody gangsta till someone calls it insanimate inanimy

[binhdang]

2017: this song is the best

2019: since when was it that long since this song was made

[someoneforgotten]

2:29 god marshmallow sounds like a disney princess reaching that high note

[Rivalloni]

Listening to this song a few more times got me even more hooked onto to it. I just loved listening to all the efforts put into it, including animation and music. Again, you did so well on this episode, can't praise you guys enough.
