Lyrics:

It's been a little while
Since closing time
And now everybody's lost their style
Their peak design
But in this dumpster fire
Deep underground
The electrical cobwebs made from wires
Are where I'm bound

Within my world
I lack verbosity
A ghost in the machine
All boys and girls
Who wander through this place
Are set to be erased

Just stay away
And escape from this decay
I've all the time to kill
And I will not be led astray
Just stay away
No, this ain't the time to play
It won't be long until
You find you're face to face with ruin

You just might hear me hum
Behind the bass
But there isn't much that can be done
Without your face
Beneath this hollow shell
Lies dark deceit
Consider the source of your intel
Is it concrete?

Be careful now
I'm not the one to fear
There's so much worse in here
Beware the sound
Of disembodied cries
They might be in disguise

Just stay away
And escape from this decay
I've all the time to kill
And I will not be led astray
Just stay away
No, this ain't the time to play
It won't be long until
You find you're face to face with ruin

Just stay away
And escape from this decay
I've all the time to kill
And I will not be led astray
Just stay away
No, this ain't the time to play
It won't be long until
You find you're face to face with ruin

Just stay away
And escape from this decay
I've all the time to kill
And I will not be led astray
Just stay away
No, this ain't the time to play
It won't be long until
You find you're face to face with ruin

Just stay away
Just stay away
Just stay away

Such a catchy song dude! Loved collabing with ya :D

[sheepercal]

Noone talking about the fact that the mad lads actually animated MXES' mouth to sync with the lyrics in the parts where Cassie wears the Vanni mask.

[billie-ve_in_yourself]

Thanks for this depiction of MXES! I was so happy when MXES was reveled to be not bad as Fnaf 3 Shadow Bonnie wanted to free the kids souls. Glitchtrap made the next depiction of a purple glitchy bunny be evil, so Fnaf 3 Shadow Bonnie got sidelined. MXES brings back the good intention of Shadow Bonnie, which I quite like.

Wish I could have caught the premiere! The song, as always, is amazing.

Hearing the melody during that first chorus was literally jaw-dropping. Not sure exactly what feel it has, but I love it.
On the visual end, seeing... I guess we'll call it the Ghost, move its mouth along to 'sing' was fun, and both scenes look incredible.
And the lyrics? Fantastically written. So many subtle references to key plot elements, especially in the second verse. (Side note, you're one of the best at being subtle like that I've ever heard, in general.)
Leaning in to the 'security' aspect of the Ghost is also an interesting take, and one I haven't seen before, but I'm a fan.
Ninja edit: Releasing on the same day as the movie? Bold. And also smooth.

I really like the monotone robotic voice, which at the same time goes up and down, making for some pretty peculiar singing! And I love how these swing-ish lively vocals contrast with the completely rigid, mechanical chiptune melody! I also adore that part in there that sounds like a spring going off -- or a roller coaster. Nonetheless, it's been stuck in my head for quite a while. What a nice song!

[Kallico_Kat]

Amazing as always!!! You put so much detail into the lyrics and the beat is so catchy-- It's already stuck in my head hehehe. Thank you Shadrow for another absolute bop for me to play on repeat !!!<33

[slush]

Aaaahhhh, I was waiting to hear something from you about Ruin!!! I absolutely love the portrayal of the song from the perspective of M.X.E.S, you always seem to find interesting perspectives to retell stories from, like Ford in "Lost my Mind". It's also a joy to hear more chiptune and vocal distortion effects, since they fit M.X.E.S extraordinarily well as a character. And clever script as always, it's amazing to hear some of your wordplay.

Great job Shad!!!! Super proud of you on this one ❤️

[Filacki]

I'm getting really strong vibes of your song "CTRL" from this one! Great job on lyrics as well! :)

[TheProPlebNoob]

You've made yet another banger Shadrow! I absolutely loved the chorus on this one, gonna be stuck in my head for a while (in the best way possible!)

[joshiefunlandgaming]

I LOVE THIS!!! Most of the ruin songs that are out came out like a day after the dlc came out and I think this is the best quality one!
I think you're one of the best song makers on youtube!

[ChickensGD]

The art and music matches so much I love it, and Cassie is adorable

[thequire]

I don't have a clue why, but the masked cassie drawing feels like it's the coolest thing I've ever seen. And I haven't seen anything cool enough to even use the word since the first few years after I learned English.

I do wonder though... What made it feel so 'cool' to me.

Oh, and also, the song itself is of course a work of art. You improve yourself every day! <3

[coolkattcoder]

Absolutely fantastic! One of the few fnaf songs that acknowledges mxes as the failed hero that they are!

[michaelafton]

glad to be in the fnaf community your song made my childhood ty keep up :)

[ThatWannabeMusician]

The first song to be sung from the perspective of MXES, an intriguing angle

[withereddanthefnaffan]

Another example of FNaF + chiptune + amazing lyrics, classic Shadrow content! Keep it up, man, and you didn't disappoint me (nor anyone else) this time either!

[VAnotes]

Dang, this is awesome, man! Fantabulous job :D

[Feb]

I was looking for new fnaf songs not expecting much, but man there sure was a diamond on this ruins! Awesome song.

[Wintertheicewing]

HOW IS THIS NOT MORE POPULAR!? This is AMAZING!!

[lidkasplus]

Your beats are always so well made and I love how clean the vocoder is, keep killing it 🔥
