ivycomb — Today at 9:41 PM
"PC-Doodle"

[StephanafroMusic]

So I visited our local 7/11 again to sip on the nozzle of some premium grade diesel and I could've SWORN we had an earthquake. Everyone I've asked has no idea what I'm talking about. They're saying it's because my "chronic gas-drinking addiction has gotten out of hand" but I KNOW what I felt. I'm not crazy. Please be careful out there guys, something's not right in this town.

[Dragnmaster]

During the rap section (2:10 - 2:25) they spoke 89 words in 15 seconds, meaning they were singing at 356 WPM. Or, 6 words per second. Crazy.

[clownerfishy]

Fun fact!
The song uses the came note progression from ANTIVILLAIN in verse 6!! (and same lyrics mostly modifed)

CYBERNETIC HEART:
Take a long look at all these figures all around you
Do I look troubled by the tasks you have to do?

ANTIVILLAIN:
Take a long look at all the people all around you
Do they look happy with the choices that they've made?

[pengine]

I'M CALLING IT NOW, VERY SOON WE'RE GETTING A SONG CALLED "S.O.S." or something similar, and it's going to be about someone finding the lab and breaking in, it is too perfect of a segue into a solid plotline to not be used. Also a song that uses the SOS morse code rhythm would be awesome.

Also, just noticed this, the Doctor does not consider the products of his experiments people:
"Take a long look at all these people all around me"
"Take a long look at all these figures all around me" the world "people" is explicitly changed to "figures"

[NotAnAnimal]

1:36 “Stop this~ we’re crying for release. Cause pain still comes with consciousness I’m begging you please. Have mercy on the mangled minds of subjects who’ve fallen…” this part is my favorite. It gives me chills every time

[CPastor]

Mr President, a second Ivysong has hit the algorithm.

[A_pukei_named_lay]

Everyone get your headphones ready, and get ready for music that sounds so good that it should be illegal to make music, for in three hours this song will be releasing.

[quanterve]

This song made my jaw drop multiple times in succession and now it's on the floor and I can't eat because my jaw is on the floor, thanks ivycomb

[gobo]

This reminds me of Citizen Sleeper's premise - A drone that was once human, called a Sleeper, who had given up thier humanity to work and became a corporation's asset, no more than property, escapes corporate enslavement, while also having a purposeful expiration date and needing to find a way to survive. It's a good game, I recommend it.

[ChurroTheTurtle]

Someone recommended your music to me, and I fell in love with it for an unusual reason; subtle breaths, like at 2:52. Someone sane probably wouldn't notice them, but I do, and, for me, it's moments like these nobody really pays attention that connects the listener to the music and grounds the artists on a level more akin to the audience.

[cristianemontagner]

I knew this was gpnna have something to do with protogens from the thumbnail and title, what i didnt know tough is that YOU SOMEHOW MANANGED TO PICTURE A QUARTER OF THE ENTIRE LORE IN ONE 3 MINUTE SONG. Simply amazing.

[yanorix]

"Take a long look at..." - is phrase that we needed

[Christ-on-a-crutch]

Saw this and was like "oh shit!" Then "oh damn..." When i realised it wasn't out yet
Edit: love it

[ErrorSansYT]

1:53 "Take a long look at all these figures all around you, do I look troubled by the tasks you have to do?-"
Me, immediately recognizing the tune: ANTIVILLAIN TUNE??? NO WAYY!!
honestly was NOT expecting that verse ngl BUT THIS SONG IS FIRE! Ivycomb becoming my favorite music artist rn 💜

[tame_doggo]

WE GETTIN OUT OF THE SMALL KITCHEN APPLIANCES ISLE WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥

[Bergindine]

i think this song's lore is tied into the other songs of ANTIHUMAN, ANTIVILLAIN and DATA_REJECT by being another person, whom is a test subject of the serum but also like with how vanilla milkshake wanted "GOD" to die; this person wanted to escape and bring the other people out of the testing facility.

How close am i Ivycomb?

Edit: grammar

[WindowsVistaRR]

I don’t know if this is canon Protogen lore or Ivycomb’s lore.
Cause it seems that protogens here are more of a robocop situation where they are made up of people? But it also seems like they are genetically made like a canon protogen?
Cause here 2:13, the lyrics mention “We took the gamble, left in shambles” and “Behind your eyes still lives the person who had died inside. He brought us back and now we're working for his enterprise” and also 2:40, “This whole resurrected life is not the life we had chosen” These make it seem like they were created not like how a canon protogen is made.
But also the parts like 0:30 and 0:36 seem to make it seem like they are made like a canon protogen. Or not. I don’t know.

Edit: Ivycomb specified it is in Antihuman lore. So Ivycomb lore!!

Anyways I love this song and everyone should listen to it!! Cause it’s 🔥🔥🔥

LYRICS :3

La, da da da da da
La. da da da da da
La, da da da
La, da da da
La, da da da da da

A brain of circuitry
I feel the sparks enter me
I put my hand to my heart
I might be missing some parts
My pulse, a steady hum
My chest, a beatless drum
I wake up only to see
i breathe electricity

Ohhhh...
Am i alive anymore
Was there even a before?
Ohhhh...
Were these parts always my own?
Or am i only a clone?

A sea of endless drones
Surrounded by the crowd
But i feel alone
Marching on along
Like we're made for war
Who am i, what am i made here for?
My feet controlled by intangible force
An inexplainable source
But i must follow its course

Around the clock
We never stop
Watched like a hawk
He's standin' there at the top
No sweat, just shop
No thought, livestock
We're just his flock
Imprisoned without a lock

Oh, you knew the risks and agreed
Success was not guaranteed
Oh, it's what my research entails
You'll work for me if it fails
Stop this, we're cryin' for release
'Cause pain still comes with consciousness, I'm beggin' you please
Have mercy on the mangled minds of subjects who've fallen
If saving comes with slaving then whose sins are more rotten?

Take a long look at all these figures all around you
Do I look troubled by the tasks you have to do?

Break out, run fast when the sirens blast
We need to get out with our lives before the time has passed
He can't control us if we fight against our code en masse
There's still a part of you that's fighting back below the mask
We're not just robots, we were people tryin' to live our lives
We took the gamble, left in shambles when we won no prize
Behind your eyes still lives the person who had died inside
He brought it back and now we're workin' for his enterprise

A revolution underground
We're screamin' out but make no sound
I feel a shock, and I fall down
I look around, we're on the ground
The exit doors all come to a close
As we lay motionless along the ground
Our circuits have frozen
This whole resurrected life is not the life we had chosen
But my hope is not all lost if someone outside here knows it
So I send a message out before the final door closes
Through a signal send an SOS to those not enclosed
In this nightmare

[dragontamerz]

For once YouTube actually recommended something in a timely manner. 20 minutes after the song was released! (Song is great, gonna be looping this for a bit)
