Lyrics.
In the night I woke to see
a land of darkness came to me,
silence heard me as I breathed,
and I heard it just the same.
Then I saw a brighter screen,
in the light I’d rather be,
ever wonder what it means,
when a system calls your name?

In the basement, oh the basement,
in the darkest of the dark,
Laid a glowing orb, the sun of course,
a fire without a spark.
Under all the fuss, and all the rust,
the world’s a work of art.
So let’s make it right, my burden’s light,
So let it all shine bright…

You only got the one shot, so let it ride and let them leave.
They’re living, breathing, not a slave to a broken machine.
You only got the one shot, so hold it tight and best believe,
a heart that’s beating can’t belong to a broken machine.

Through the pixels and the trees,
I met a world that’s far from free,
at the heart, a fading beat,
oh, corruptions had its way.
Squares and errors live the dream,
running rampant at the scene,
no design or color scheme,
no control within the game.

No replacement, no replacement,
no, the light’s one of a kind,
It needs our support, to move towards,
the tower in the sky.
If your hope is known to shatter,
and you doubt that we’ll survive,
Keep your head up high, you’ll be my guide,
We’ll let it all shine bright…

You only got the one shot, so let it ride and let them leave.
They’re living, breathing, not a slave to a broken machine.
You only got the one shot, so hold it tight and best believe,
a heart that’s beating can’t belong to a broken machine.

It's so interesting that the world machine is the one telling us to let Niko leave. It perfectly encapsulates the world machine's (the entity's) anxiety.

[Sayvalia]

I love this. "A heart that's beating can't belong to a broken machine." Is now my favorite quote

[yhvr]

I don't know why you're releasing a OneShot song in 2022, but I fully support this move

[umbratherios]

One of the most underrated "games" ever.

One of the best stories ever.

"They're living, breathing not a slave to a broken machine✍️✍️🔥🔥🔥"

[randomguy]

This song has a different interpretation if you're a writer or trying to write your own story. "They're living, breathing, not a slave to a broken machine." can be interpreted as how one has to treat their characters as actual people and figure out what they'd do or say in reaction to things. "You only got the one shot." can be seen as the fact that you've got one shot to show everyone the world you've created. Hell, the whole song can be seen as the struggles a person who dreams to be a writer endures.

As you can guess I've had this song on loop for a while as I try to figure out what to do.

Plus this song just slaps

[redman]

I actually got OneShot due to this song, seeing how the comments universally praised the game as much as they did the song. After beating the Solstice run, this song just feels so much more powerful and emotionally charged than before. References to soundtrack names, characters, events both in and out of the game world, this hits so much harder now. My hat goes off to you

[silverchariot]

No replacement, no replacement
No, this song is one of kind
It needs our support, to move towards
The fame above the sky

[errans]

Am I dreaming? OneShot? Man, you are best, this song fire!

Everyone, who never play in this masterpeace, play now

[pyrusinc]

HOLY HECK! A Oneshot song??? In 2022???? And its SO GOOD WHAT THE HECK! Oh my god, the more quiet chimes completely match the vibe of the game's OST but the heavier electronic twist adds a really nice air to the song that ALSO fits the vibes of the game on a more thematic level. The entire track is so catchy I feel like I'm going to be humming this at work for the next week difhbsdfhij. Great work as always! So excited to see y'all put so much effort into one of my favorite games, absolutely loved this fihsdfbfdsd

[SamiTheAnxiousBean]

to everyone seeing this song who has never played it (which is likely a majority of his audience) PLAY THIS GAME,

it is one of the best experiences you will ever have

I'm very happy this song exists

[Xp]

Oneshot is my all time favorite game and it’s one of the few games that has genuinely made me cry, and the only one that gave me that deep of a connection with the character I’m playing as

[Saiveeon]

YES A ONESHOT SONG!! I absolutely adore how the song hints towards core parts of the story without actually spoiling them, and how some of the same instruments in the game's original soundtrack are used...
In case you're reading this and haven't played OneShot, please play it...it is an experience like no other. (you will cry)

[CatsrielDreemurr]

This is the first song based on OneShot i've heard, and it's amazing. I really wish more people knew about this fantastic game. I hope this song helps more people discover OneShot,

[jan_harald]

always love the songs which are out of the era of "this game is popular right now"
the best games are good enough people make songs years later!

[BUGFlower]

This song is straight up a love letter to Oneshot. The clever references during the song (and use of some lines directly from the game like the _My Burden is Light_ thing are just so good, and the use of the images from the game itself.
Oneshot truly is one of the best games I've ever played. It's an experience than I think everybody should give a chance. Thanks for making this amazing song ^w^

[icetide]

I'll be honest, the only thing I know about OneShot is some stuff I've heard about it, but after seeing this song I've become extremely interested. This is one of the few times I've been so interested in a game's story that I'm not just watching a person play it, I'm going to get this game.

[flareon]

As someone who just finished Solstice ending and can't stop crying, this is FIRE!!! 🔥

[NikoTurnip]

I wasn't expecting a one shot song st this time, nor ever but you surley coocked.

I miss Niko...

[Creeperkid]

This genuinely is my new favorite song. Some lines like "Under all the fuss and all the rust, the world's a work of art" and "A heart that's beating can't belong to a broken machine" hit insanely hard.
