the irony of her saying "but i won't live in the past" when she's the only one who refuses to move on
when everyone else is welcoming her with open arms but she can't let go of her own mistakes
she REFUSES to believe that she can save herself. she's drowning but instead of treading water she's dived herself deeper because she's already doomed
i am so obsessed with her. rotating her in my mind. i'm gonna scream

[Mewing-master]

Imagine seeing a British taco singing and a off brand iPad walking in the forest I’d be scared af 😭

[CyrusShameliOfficial]

"We lose more than we gain!" That hit hard.
2:57 "No I'm Fine!" that high pitch note was crazy good

[Clearance]

1:14 I appreciate the little detail of Baseball looking towards Mepad and Taco in the foreground and background, as if he's feeling he's being watched.

[thedogfamily]

0:40 “but I won’t live in the past” *immediately mentions how she almost won once in the past

[chromosoa]

3:03 the note she hits on "fine" is sublime; rheagan's a fantastic singer

[Box_Ball]

Inanimate Insanity went from having upside down tongues to this masterpiece.

R.I.P. MePad.. Possibly one of the best co-hosts in OSC history.

[abronilo]

Yep, without a doubt the best song that an objects show could have given us in the entire history of the community, waiting 4 years was worth every damn second

[АллаПрокофьева-цч]

0:14 Lyrics:
Taco:
Look at them! It's so pathetic,
How they run to fetch their sticks.
Sure, call me polemic, unsympathetic,
At least I know other tricks!

Look at me and all you'll see is the debris of some defective outcast.
A frenetic, antithetic (if poetic) little iconoclast
But I won't live in the past.

I almost won this game once, you know. But!

History is rearranged just to credit those who win the glory
So reality is changed in the edit when they spin the story
And we choose, to feel this pain
And we lose, more than we gain

But I will break this cycle,
Of mistakes, unlike all,
Of these snakes whom I call to condemn
If I can't win the prize,
I'll play this last reprisal,
Just to bring their lies all to an end.

Taco: -Ack!
MePad: You need regeneration.
Taco: Unfortunately, I dont have much faith in that process.
MePad: Of course not.
Taco: Why "of course not?".
MePad: You believe yourself to be incapable of starting over, in more ways than one. I do not know who you lost, but is it not possible to get them back?

Taco:
"Clear the slate, start again",
Are you hearing how preposterous that sounds?
How do you not comprehend that for someone with my monstrous background
The whole slate has fallen apart

MePad:
♫ Taco that is not true.
There are other ways to-

Taco:
Its too late-

MePad:
It's not too late,

Taco:
For me to restart!

Taco:
But it's not I, its they
(Let us talk about it when your),
Who deign to play this game, so
(head is not so clouded. You're no),
Cruel and inhumane, base and uncouth
(menace, Taco, how did they hurt you?)
(Please think this through)

I think they're too afraid to,
(Feeling double-crossed is part of),
Bear the bed they've made
(Dealing with a loss, yes, but the),
Can't bring themselves to face the awful truth
(Healing is a process, that's the truth)

Taco:
So I'm turning up the heat to "sauté"
I've a beef to get grilled
But I fully guarantee today that all the beans that get spilled
Won't be mine, no I'm fine
Shhhh...
Now it's time.

Disney, THIS is how you make a song for a villain

[Handlebarthend]

Keep in mind this is the same Taco who spit lemons, shouted SOUR CREAM, turned OJ into kool aid and forgot her own name.

[Jackaboy]

2:18 I'm 90% sure it's unintended and just a side effect of how MePad is singing here, but i like how it sounds like "lettuce taco 'bout it" as a sort of double pun

[Magic_Ice]

This song has been on repeat in my head for weeks. I love it because of how genuine she is here. In the first half, she is excited with that big sinister smile when talking without Mepad confronting her. After Mepad tries to talk her out of it, Taco feels she must justify it more, which turns the song into passionate and loud singing about how much she can’t restart and how she *must* destroy this game to avoid hurting the people still in it. It is truly an amazing and unique “villain” song.

[HalooTheEpokGaemer]

1:04 I love how tacos says "than we gain" after looking at mic, it's a nice reference to the previous episode when mic said "I *gained* nothing" then turned down her gain knob

[bfdixiifanbackup]

2011: She Forgot
2024: SHE COOKED
LETS GO 1K LIKES

[Vreo_TD-Ijustatetenblankes]

I honestly just really love how it almost seems like a mix of being a villain, and then losing people.
Like the background just seems like it's where she's a villain, but the lyrics are basically just talking about losing people

Edit: There is a bot in the replies, please do not interact with it in any way

[dreaminlavender]

At 3:01 Rheagan hits an A5!! Honestly props to her, even as a 1st Soprano that note is hard for me to sing let ALONE belt. If the team ever wants to release a music sheet for this song (just accompaniment or vocals too) I'd be so happy to look into the chord progressions of this song, it's very well written

[SweaterSniper]

0:37 THAT "If Poetic" IS SO CLEAN

[Whistlechip]

I actually got them to PLAY THIS SONG AT MY SCHOOL DANCE BUT THEY TURNED IT OFF RIGHT BEFORE THE BEST PART BECAUSE NO ONE KNEW WHAT IT WAS
