I like to think all the "children never listen" lines are intentional references to his children- "told it's rude to stare" for Elizabeth because she didn't heed his warnings, "parasitic like a pox / always causing problems till you stuff them in a fox" for Michael, the black sheep of the family who wears a Foxy mask and ends up being William's greatest enemy, and "seen and never heard/always crying out" for Evan because he's the crying child whose identity remains somewhat of a mystery.

My moral compass leaving my body when the bad guy starts singing a catchy song

[JunoSongs]

y'all he's boutta drop the entirety of the fnaf lore

[aydinanuar]

3:05 Love the slow transition of the lyrics going from blue mixed with purple, to completely purple. Kinda symbolizes William shedding whatever humanity he had left.

[TheAdvertisement]

"Children never listen when they're told it's rude to stare. always causing problems till you stuff them in a bear." The lyrics is smooth yet terrible- it sounds exactly like a psychopath playing down his crimes.

[JessieTheNobody]

This song is perfect for how William was written in The Silver Eyes with his whole immortal family of the haunted robots thing. Easily one of the most unique FNaF songs I've heard of late.

[draconus]

I got to say, if this was not an original song I would think this was Afton's theme. The hard mechanical sounds combined with the soft whimsical chimes fit with Afton's theorized personality, which are pretty clear on what they have to be to be a child murder. And the Alex does an awesome job at singing as well. Overall great job

[CeHee]

Alex turned Afton from a undying horror monster to a charismatic Disney villain. At least that's the vibe I get from this song.

[idks]

Dude, "till you stuck them in a [insert animal]" lines are so cold i literally froze in shock lol

[FluffyPrincess]

"Its soo clear to me! In my immortality! That an AFTON'S name shall be I love that so much

[Stelyost]

I had a ton of fun composing the instrumentation for this. Alex is a dream to work with, he came up with the base melody, and his vocal performance is stellar as William Afton.

[matthewrobinson]

I love that his boasts about the Afton name are clearly self-aggrandizing, but the specific points he refers to can be applied to Micheal. Its that perfect dramatic irony that makes the stage show-esque performance work

[shyguymike]

Well this wasn't something I'd ever expect

This song is... Genuinely amazing? I didn't even know you were a fan and your first attempt at a FNaF song is this good? Just, wow. The lyrics focusing on ghosts, actually including important things, rather than just some random robotic wording..? This... Just, wow...

[Ink-]

I honestly love this, it feels like William doesn’t really think of his crimes as crimes, where in some songs, he’s on about being the bad guy. Here, he really does believe he’s in the right.

[luisGarcia-hqmp]

I love that William doesn't include the "Until you stuff them in a bunny/rabbit." because he gets stuffed in one.

"For the low price of a child." and proceeds to kill like 6 on purpose.

[Gixin]

This gives me vibes of the OG era of Fnaf songs, a lot of them sound kinda the same nowadays but this one is super unique

[frozenhellruler]

This is FIRE. It's even lore-accurate! It's an amazing song, congrats everyone who worked on it

[Punykirby]

Alex was always perfect to voice a Villain, it makes sense for him to be THE Indie Villain
This is a serious bop and has the perfect unhinged energy of William Afton. Its vibe reminds me of classic FNAF Fan songs from artists like TLT, and Tryhardninja

Hope to see some more original songs sprinkled in with the lyrical covers

[kaidearc]

I love how it switches the
"Til you stuff them in a bear"
To
"Til you stuff them in a bird"
It switches between different animatronics

Now THAT'S what I call a fundamental understanding of what makes William Afton so terrifying, to the point where I am willing to say that it uses him better and makes him scarier than the FNAF games ever did!

At this point, Afton has degraded into a joke of a villain in the games. He's not scary anymore. He's just kinda...there. His line "I'll always come back", which encapsulates what makes him so scary, has become little more than a punchline about how many times he's appeared throughout the series. At a certain point, he stopped being a character, and turned into a set piece, something that will, without a doubt, make an appearance at some point in the game, and that repetition, along with how much his character has degraded, takes away everything that made him scary.

And yet, somehow, like the soul of a dead child, this song brings Afton back to life! This song perfectly shows why he's so scary! It shows his thought process as to why he's justifying what he's doing, it shows his descent into madness, and how deceitful and persuasive he can be. And that's just what the vocals accomplish! The music itself gives the feeling of being lost amongst machinery, or in an arcade. Combined with the vocals, it feels like Afton is chasing you down, and it really makes him feel like a genuine threat! And that's not even touching on rhymes like "Saccharine cacophony that masks the living battery", or the use of what sounds like bells giving an ominous, almost spiritual tone to the first bit of the song, or how powerfully every lyric is delievered! There's so much to go into here, and it's all amazing. Bravo, and congratulations!
