Eye to Eye [Dusttale Song] [xXtha Original]

For my second edition of the Spooky Month, I give my fans what they would not stop bothering me about for the past 2 years. Haha. For the video I couldn’t decide what style I wanted to work in, so I decided to use the “past” as a chance to do a manga style, and the “current” to do lineless, both which I don’t typically use for videos. So hopefully they work well for this once.
The music is based off a lot of vocal samples that would otherwise be used in more dance music, but I liked them because having a lot of fake voices felt very appropriate for the character. I almost made it a weird time signature too, but decided against that headache. Beyond that, I’m also happy I finally got a chance to use a hardstyle kick in a song since 90% of the time I’m afraid using one in most songs would make some people’s ears explode from the sheer power of the kick. But I felt like I had an opportunity here and I took it.

Lyrics:

Tell me how we got here
Tell me how it goes
Seems I'm not myself anymore
Alone and it shows

I'm trying to hurt you but there's
Something special you rely on
A lack of virtue on a
Homicidal hill to die on

Am I a person for you?
Or someone in your way
That's when I understood you
There's someone else at play

Do you hate yourself like I hate you
If you only knew the same pain too
Can you see the things I had to do?
If you felt at all then I'd break through
Caught in the same life I'm wasting time
We're both unsatisfied until you die
And I'm so astray I think I've lost my mind
But now we see each other eye to eye
Eye to eye
Eye to eye
Eye to eye
Eye to eye

Oh what's that what's that?
What's that I see?
There's someone watching
Behind the screen
Are you a monster?
Well I am too
So there's just one thing left do

(One)
And I know that the thought is crazy
(Two)
Sorry kid but you made me so
(Three)
All my life I've been seen as lazy
(Four)
But it's time and you gotta go
(Five)
Is this some kind of a joke unspoken?
(Six)
I'm just cleaning up all the mess
(Seven, Eight)
Think it's fun killing off the broken
(Nine)
I'll be the one killing off the rest.

Do you hate yourself like I hate you
If you only knew the same pain too
Can you see the things I had to do?
If you felt at all then I'd break through
Caught in the same life I'm wasting time
We're both unsatisfied until you die
And I'm so astray I think I've lost my mind
But now we see each other eye to eye
Eye to eye
Eye to eye
Eye to eye
Eye to eye

Call me, call me, call me crazy
Call me, call me, call me crazy

Do you hate yourself like I hate you
If you only knew the same pain too
Can you see the things I had to do?
If you felt at all then I'd break through
Caught in the same life I'm wasting time
We're both unsatisfied until you die
And I'm so astray I think I've lost my mind
But now we see each other eye to eye
Eye to eye
Eye to eye
Eye to eye
Eye to eye

"Do you hate yourself like I hate you" COLD

[Hope-mofp]

Everyone is talking about "Do you hate yourself like I hate you?", but I also became attached to that part after breaking the fourth wall. It was great! I love that!

[Loser_but_not_alone]

1:26 Okay, Dust broke the fourth wall:"

[Da_reece_cupi]

And now we have the murder song trio!!!!

[hybridvenom]

"Eye to Eye" dunno why my brain of me immediately goes too "Eye for an Eye"

[UJD_pacifist_sans]

This is actually a bop. Fell in love with it on my first listen, kinda catchy. Dusttale is sort of a sad au if you come to learn about it. Sans had no other choice and clearly regrets it, blaming it on the human. I think this song resonates with dusttale in its own way.

[Dragon_Aoi]

After the Killer and Horror animated songs, I was so hoping for a Dust/Murder animated song too. And now we are getting one!

Dust looks so good on the thumbnail art, and the song name is interesting.

Looking forward to seeing what u do for one of my favorite Sanses!

Thank you for awesome videos and stuff once again.

AHHH THIS IS SO COOL!!! The song and lyrics are so good and the lineless style + manga style are both so pretty!! Lineless in particular fits the vibe of Dusttale really well. 1:38 to 1:50 is my favourite part, the lyrics just flow so well esp with the kick punctuating each line, I think this set of lyrics really embodies Dust’s thought process behind his actions. Like, the idea of killing off the entire underground before you get there *is* crazy, but he’s just so done with you that he’s willing to get off his ass and actually go through with it just to put a stop to you. I also love the visual of Dust standing there with the items of different monsters he killed falling down around him as his LV slowly ticks up. My favourite line is probably “And I’m so astray I think I’ve lost my mind. But now we see each other eye to eye”, like Dust sacrificed all his sanity and morals just so he could face the Player / Frisk as a proper, equal threat. It also sort of feels like Dust is also saying that he now sort of understands what it’s like to be someone monstrous enough to commit such widespread genocide.

A dusttale song on halloween is peak release date

[Quizly]

I like how dust and killer both have songs with "eye" in the title. Eyes of a Killer. Eye to Eye. it really shows their au connection. and even further, I like how the entirety of the murder time trio have songs that have titles with some kind of body part connected to them. killer and dust obviously have eyes as I've pointed out, but horror also has nerves. just something neat I found with these three and their songs! :D

[shadowvi]

Omg I love this so much!! And the "Do you hate yourself like I hate you. If only you knew the same pain too." "We're both unsatisfied until you die." SO GOOD. LYRICS AND SPECIAL LOVE TO THE VOICE FOR DUST <333 Thank you for this masterpiece, I will listen to this on repeat with my hyperfix.

[michaelvanco]

I love the ramp up at 1:37. It is such a good flow switch. ❤

[STrangeDude]

Oh, Murder.
Also, yeah. Dusttale has a Player. And, through some comments, they have mentioned - that the Player could rewrite the code back to "Undertale". Only to start it all again. And, Murder remembers resets (erases?) through some kind of bug/glitch/error/corrupted files? Who knows. It was only mentioned in the ask as a "happened a bug/glitch/error", not exactly explaining, what exactly. (So, we could write that off as a Player's doing?).

[flowerflour]

THE TRIO IS FINALLY COMOLETE! I KNEW IT!!!

[Leayful]

THOUGHT ID NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY AGAIN THANK YOU FOR BLESSING ME

[KurzgesagtBirb]

The lyrics are so well written and don't get me started on the animation! xXtha you're doing so well. I'm glad I was here from the start too watch you grow and your abilities to flourish.
:3 hope you keep going and don't loose motivation!

[QBdaBnuuy]

"Do you hate yourself like I hate you?"
Best line of the song

Edit: It's honestly sad that when I comment something like this I get 100 likes but when I comment something original and funny I get 10 likes.

[Username_guy_]

This is gonna go down in history, Thanks for the absolute best songs xXtha!

[JuleCat]

At this point we're going to have an animated song of every undertale au...


I mean I'm not against it but props to Xtha

[keannasleepyboii]

Its intresting to think that maybe "eye to eye" Could mean hes stood on the same path as the player.. Hes stooped down to their level in order to show their both killers but for different reasons ones mass genocide while the other is to seek revenge through genocide they both stand on a dangerous path yet seek different things.😮love this! I love the destruction and how much details the animation brings ❤❤
