LYRICS:
I’ll show you the truth,
I’ll show you your purpose.
Just a pencil and a dream,
Created for entertainment.
He lives on through us,
Born from darkness, born from lust,
‘Cuz when we reach the end,
We do it all over again.
Follow me,
We are children of the machine.
Barely human in a city built on broken dreams.
Follow me,
We are children of the machine.
Barely human in a city built on broken dreams.
It’s a joyless job,
When your heart’s running empty at the seams,
But after eons filling up the bottle,
Sitting on a desperate pencil and a dream.
Well, the void was filled when you lived,
To the empty ink, then we would sink,
To the beat of a cog wheel turning,
Love was the fuel that kept me from burning,
To create this finest design,
You need a magic darker than mine,
And a kiss from the angels casting demons down the bottom line.
So wonderful how deep the love can flow,
‘Cuz when you came into my life,
I couldn’t bare to let go,
But the curtain came to close.
He lives on through us,
We’re born from darkness, born from lust,
‘Cuz when we reach the end,
We do it all over again.
Follow me,
We are children of the machine.
(We built this machine.)
Barely human in a city built on broken dreams.
Follow me,
We are children of the machine.
(You came to life.)
Barely human in a city built on broken dreams.
In the dark nightmare,
See the spotlight glare,
And accept your fate in time.
In the dark nightmare,
See the spotlight glare,
And accept your fate in time.
Follow me,
We are children of the machine.
Barely human in a city built on broken dreams.

[@phoenixdragon3580]

I love how powerful the imagery is at 1:25. It's like Joey was a being of hate and darkness, and the all consuming power of love purified him. But since he had no love himself, when he was purified, there was nothing left of him once he accepted the love and let it consume him, just like the darkness once had.

[@cheddarbub6324]

dang that's real deep

[@ggfbfnfv]

in the game, if you havent played, Joey is the dad of her and he couldnt have a normal kid with his wife so he made her with ink, also this isnt a hate comment or anything

[@ggfbfnfv]

joey had also died and in the game thats how he shows his daughter thats hes the dad and shows her how hes dead and where his grave is

[@iplaygames.3899]

Yeah coda is amazing at animating

[@TheOneWhoKnocks18]

So in simpler words: Joey was embraced with love removing the hate from him but because he was made of hate he faded away

[@Mrmmnmnmn]

I just love the way they approached this. It’s not the common immense horror. CG5 put all of the spices of the game into one dish, and created a never thought masterpiece. The fact that it’s like hopeful and sad and scary is just hard to take in. The verse “So wonderful how deep the love can flow!” is just to powerful, it shows how much Joey drew loved his project. And finally, Audrey, the song shows her hope, and determination while also feeling sadness along the way of her journey. I love how CG5 isn’t just one type of artist, he’s multiple, pop, rock, horror, and etc. Congrats CG5 on this masterpiece, I’m not the only one loving this, 2.7 Thousand commenters all complementing you on one song out of hundreds already here and millions more to come, and there is probably still more people that listened to the song without going on KZbin and commenting. You have gone from 1 to 3.81 Million subscribers, and still more to come. Congratulations again, take care KZbin travelers.

[@CloverChats]

I’m pretty sure the song was inspired by the quote from the game “Just because we’re born of darkness, doesn’t mean we belong to it.” It does that very well with lyrics and instrumentals that elicit feelings of both dark feelings like despair and regret but also bright feelings like hope and love. It well represents how people live on not in their grand achievements, but their real ones, their family, the ones they held dear. “The children of the machine” in the song are representative of what we create in our life, the same thing we can use to create our demons are the same thing we can use to create our sons or daughters, and I think that’s powerful.

This song reflects how much the events of the story impacted the lives of the others, rather than just the "big scary monsters," and I feel like we need more songs like this to shed light on the tragedy going on behind the scenes. Amazing song to all who worked on it, definitely going on my favorites :D

[@SwinubBallz]

I agree. They should definitely do more that’s similar to this song. It’s chill and mellow also pop. My favorite things

[@TheStudioArchitect]

I liked Joey's rap too! Don't get me wrong, Joey Drew has and will always be a liar. He lied to Audrey about the truth behind the studio as well as the people in it. He lied, and still lies to make himself look like the good guy. When in reality he is still the main villain behind everything. He even went as far as to say that the studio was a fake-world, a dimension outside of reality. Which is his biggest, and also most obvious lie. But the one thing he didn't lie about was Audrey being his daughter. There is evidence to prove that Joey lied about everything else. But there is proof that Audrey is Joey's daughter. And it makes his rap even more catchy and heartwarming. In a life of lies, the one thing he didn't lie about was his family. Which was really heartwarming to see. Joey truly loves Audrey, and that was a really good part of the song.

[@TheStudioArchitect]

One thing I liked about this song is the lighting. The fan-favorite golden studio is in this song! The same golden lighting that was in Bendy and the Ink Machine! The same golden studio that was in ALL of the Bendy and the Dark Revival trailers. But unfortunately not in the final game. The actual game was a lot more tan in color, and a lot more dull and boring. Not anything like the golden adventure that was Bendy and the Ink Machine. So I liked how this video brought back the golden lighting!

[@superkid5mini937]

How come you had no replies?

[@Madame_Talos]

I love how it's less of a huge symphony and more of a lullaby, focusing on the sadness rather than the horror. But it's not all sadness, there's also hope. In a world of despair, Audrey is a being made of love and hope. As Joey says, "To create this finest design, you need a magic darker than mine, and a kiss form the Angels casting demons down the bottom line," it shows he was aware he wasn't a good person, and that her goodness could only come from others rather than the demons he created. I personally think that the memories found in BATDR are from others, like how shortly after we find the hotdog, we hear about it in a tape form Nathan Arch, and how it's about him enjoying life's small things.

[@thechampionofskylands]

[@CathyAnimations]

I know I may go deep on this but I'd love to talk about it because it makes me feel at ease a little listening to this. "I'll show you the truth, I'll show you your purpose" - Knowing your place in society's world. "Just a pencil and a dream, created for entertainment" - Our dreams started from picking up a pencil and writing what we would like to be in the future, right? And our dreams are all over the news, articles, everywhere. "Cause when we reach the end, we do it all over again" - History repeats itself, things repeat itself, over and over. "Follow me, we are children of the machine. Barely human in a city built on broken dreams" - as we grow older, more responsibility are on our shoulders expecting things to be okay. But then there is Depression, Anxiety, and maybe some underlying mental health conditions the person doesn't know about (Yes those cases happen). "It's a joyless job, when your heart is running empty at the seams" -Adult life and teen life are difficult, don't think it's easy as it seems. It sucks the life out of you and you feel more and more insecure. "Singing on a desperate pencil and a dream" -Willing to chase your dreams but you are desperate to be there already. "You need a magic darker than mine, and a kiss from the angels casting demons from the bottom line!" - Survival of the fittest. The weak won't survive what adult life has to offer, nor will it ever. Only with luck if anything, so build that thick skin early. "So wonderful how deep the love can flow" -Being able to get close to your friends, partners, pets, and family. You are able to be vulnerable to them and are able to gain your trust. "Cause when you came to my life I couldn't bare to let go, but the curtain came to a close" -Abandonment. It happens when a friend, pet, family memeber, or someone you know passing away or just stops having a connection to you. It happens alot belive it or not. (Happened to me too couple of times). The best thing to do is move on. Did I miss anything? Reply below! (Also ty for seeing this lol)

[@MiyuwiTV]

The song "Children of the Machine" by CG5 and DAGames is a reflection on the nature of existence, purpose, and creation. The lyrics of the song are dense with meaning and imagery, drawing on metaphors of darkness, lust, and broken dreams. The song speaks to the human condition, exploring the way in which we are all products of a larger system, and how we are constantly searching for meaning and purpose in our lives. The first lines of the song set the stage for the themes that will be explored throughout the rest of the lyrics. "I'll show you the truth, I'll show you your purpose," the singer declares, suggesting that there is some higher meaning or purpose to be found in life, and that it is up to the listener to discover it. This idea of purpose is further explored in the following line, "Just a pencil and a dream, created for entertainment," which suggests that life itself is a form of entertainment, and that we are all characters in a larger narrative. The idea of being created for entertainment is one that resonates with the hit online multiplayer game "Among Us." In this game, players take on the roles of crewmates on a spaceship, and must work together to complete tasks while trying to identify and eliminate any imposters who are secretly trying to sabotage their efforts. The game is a form of entertainment, and the players are all characters within the game's narrative. The lyrics of "Children of the Machine" suggest that our lives are similar to this game, and that we are all part of a larger system that is designed for entertainment. The idea of being born from darkness and lust is also explored in the song's lyrics. "He lives on through us, born from darkness, born from lust," the singer declares, suggesting that our very existence is rooted in primal urges and desires. The line "Love was the fuel that kept me from burning" suggests that love is a powerful force that can help us to overcome our more destructive impulses, and that it is necessary for our survival. The idea of being "children of the machine" is one that is repeated throughout the song. The line "Follow me, we are children of the machine" suggests that we are all part of a larger system, and that we must follow a predetermined path in order to achieve our purpose. The lyrics suggest that this path is one of struggle and hardship, as we are "barely human in a city built on broken dreams." The imagery of broken dreams is another recurring theme in the song's lyrics. The line "It's a joyless job when your heart's running empty at the seams" suggests that life is often a struggle, and that we are all fighting to find meaning and purpose in a world that can be cold and unforgiving. The line "Barely human in a city built on broken dreams" reinforces this idea, suggesting that we are all struggling to survive in a world that is filled with disappointment and shattered hopes. The song's lyrics also explore the idea of fate and acceptance. The lines "In the dark nightmare, see the spotlight glare, and accept your fate in time" suggest that we are all subject to a larger power or force, and that we must learn to accept our place in the world. This idea of acceptance is linked to the concept of fate, suggesting that our lives are predetermined, and that we must learn to accept the cards that we have been dealt. In conclusion, the song "Children of the Machine" is a powerful reflection on the nature of existence, purpose, and creation. The song's lyrics are dense with meaning and imagery, exploring themes of darkness, lust, broken dreams, and acceptance. The song speaks to the human condition, suggesting that we are all part of a larger system, and that we must learn to navigate the struggles of life in order to find meaning and purpose. The repeated refrain of "Follow me, we are children of the machine" suggests that we are all part of a larger narrative, and that we must follow a predetermined path in order to achieve our purpose. The song's connection to the online multiplayer game "Among Us" is interesting to consider as well. The game itself is a form of entertainment that requires players to work together and identify imposters who are trying to sabotage their efforts. The themes of the song, particularly the idea of being created for entertainment and following a predetermined path, seem to resonate with the experience of playing the game. The lyrics suggest that our lives are similar to the game, and that we are all part of a larger system that is designed for entertainment. Overall, the lyrics of "Children of the Machine" are powerful and thought-provoking. The song explores complex themes and ideas, drawing on metaphors of darkness, lust, and broken dreams to convey a sense of struggle and hardship that is inherent in the human experience. The repeated refrain of "Follow me, we are children of the machine" reinforces the idea that we are all part of a larger system, and that we must navigate the challenges of life in order to find meaning and purpose. The connection to the online multiplayer game "Among Us" adds an interesting layer to the song's meaning, suggesting that our lives are similar to the game, and that we are all characters in a larger narrative.

So wonderful how deep the love can flow, ‘Cuz when you came into my life, I couldn’t bare to let go, But the curtain came to close.

Although this is unlikely to be seen now, this is truly a masterpiece, better than any fanmade game song I have ever heard. It is so good that I even shed tears for it. Instead of the horror, it focuses on the tragedy within the ink. But hope still rises despite all the sorrow, with love and goodwill eventually overcoming the darkness, which is the most moving part of the game, thus making this piece filled by tension and power. CG5's work made the song nearly impeccable, and the distinctive voice from DAGames also did an excellent job. Without the two working together, we wouldn't be able to hear this.

It's been a year since this masterpiece of a game was released. This song brings me nostalgic vibes for some reason. It's like a lullaby you hear when times were so much simpler. I will forever love this franchise. This song is truly lovely and reminds me of Bendy being a huge part of my childhood.

[@redoneteron5933]

An excellent and heartfelt song with quality animation to boot. Also, on a _very_ different note: I couldn't help but think that a sizeable portion of these lyrics could be construed as a Magos Biologis techpriest who is unusually passionate about their work roaming the remains of a destroyed city, with flashbacks where they remember their work creating newborns (and the paperwork of such; yes they use a quill & ink bottles), along with memories of the one kid they were _really_ fond of (their own genetic descendant?)

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🙁🙁🙁😢😢😢

[@seattlegirl14]

Maybe it's cause I've been listening to it on loop for hours, but it feels so lovely that starts and ends on same(or at least similar) notes, so it feels like a cycle, just the Animated World in BATDR and BATIM existing in loops. The voice combo of Will and Charlie are wonderful as well, with such stunning visuals to accompany it make this such a fantastic song. Thank you for another wonderful song, and I can't wait for the next one, if and when it comes.

[@SofiLuvsToAnimate]

Its truly a beautiful song. A true masterpiece in music. I almost want to cry bc of how lovely the music is..

This is probably the best batdr 3d animated video I've seen yet

[@JadeDazemations]

Man this got me so emotional. I’ve been listening to your old Bendy and the Ink Machine songs since the new game came out, and I’m SO glad you made another one specifically for Dark Revival 🙏🙏 You and Will popped off with these beautiful vocals, and Coda’s animation visuals turned out so perfectly! Absolute GEM ❤

[@IVP0ND]

2:38 this part legit gave me goosebumps. This song is gorgeous and is going straight on my Spotify playlist! Keep up the good work, Charlie! :D

[@error4v0r47]

This music is just something else. Just the low tone and slow speed. The slow beat combined with the fast lyrics of the second verse just combines perfectly. The somewhat hopeful sounding of the tune just feels different. It just sounds different imagining the situation of the song. It really just sounds good.

[@UM14Music]

1:13 was the most replayed part of the whole song.

[@katcl0uds]

The animation for this was so gorgeous and the song fit so well with it, this is definitely an instant classic

[@luigiboi4244]

I’m absolutely blown away. This is my new favorite Bendy song, no contest. It encapsulates the themes of BATDR nigh flawlessly. Amen to you brilliant madmen, AMEN.

[@TheMudgeinator2002]

such a beautiful track i had both tears of joy and sadness 🥲👍

[@BalloonChild-oo4qk]

0:49 I know this is supposed to be a sad song- but imagine an army of lost ones just marching towards you like a military squad-

[@BalloonChild-oo4qk]

Like- it’s terrifying, but at the same time, the visual image is kinda funny- especially if you think of it like a glitch in the game, like the Monty army glitch in security breach

[@Lizabqts]

1:00 was a amazing moment for me because of the way he assures you then shows how much you are loved I honestly almost cried on this part.

[@hamzakhaled4107]

Ngl This part goes hard

[@moss8541]

I absolutely love the almost marching, footstep like beat with 'Follow me, we are children of the Machine' Especially at the end, when the group arrives upon the Audrey and Bendy fusion- the children having arrived to see the cycles end. This whole song gives me shivers, most BATIM/BATDR songs are in a jazzy, swing type beat. But this one is so much more solemn and reflects on the true tragedy of the machine and those who have been 'blessed' by the ink.

[@deanryder5325]

I loved this song, for some reason the whole songs lyrics strikes me to my core. Like emotionally something about it is relatable. Like Da verse/ chorus hit the hardest even made me tear up. Honestly it's hard to explain but point is I love the song.

[@TBoneDeluxe1]

It’s incredible to see the amount of skill and time put in to this between DAGames and CG5. This song is unlike anything else I have seen on this channel and I have watched it about 10+ times before writing this review. The visuals tell the story so intricately and shows how within any dire situation, good will and perseverance always overpowers fear or anxiety. This isn’t just a song, it’s a beautiful message that relates to everyone.

[@prod_ghosty]

what i like about cg5 the most, when he makes song, he doesnt just make them, he give them a... purpose, meaning, emotions. he give the song personally, an image and a story. he truly loves his job and passion and is ready to take it on another level. we love you cg5

words cannot explain how much of a masterpiece this song is. you've gathered all of the spices of dark revival and blended them into one beautiful dish of a song. I believe that the love joey drew had for Audrey, carried on into her heart. now its officially Bendy's turn to be loved.

2:20 Henry's my favorite character in Bendy, so I love this shot of him at the end, almost like he's the light at the end of the inky, dark tunnel. Great work! Edit: I just got into a really emotional mood thinking about this song and the whole of Bendy's story, so when I watched it again and Henry's smiling face showed up at the end, I literally teared up. Like, come on, man...

This song is so underrated. The lyrics are genius, and the tone is so different from other Bendy songs in the best way possible. I love how it's more... upbeat? Uplifting? I'm not sure if those are the right words, but it's not dark or edgy. Usually, I'm all for those darker, heavy-metal/electronic-esque songs, but over time, I've grown to appreciate the less edgy/calmer stuff more. In other words, your work is fantastic as always, CG5. I know you'll keep up the great work!

[@thundertits]

I really like the scene where the ink demon stands over Audrey I know it's supposed to be the scene where he convinces Audrey to join her but it almost looks like they're reconciling the shot of Audrey's eyes widening is like her realizing her connection to the ink demon and how much pain he went through

[@Itz_Annq]

I never really into Bendy and the Ink Machine, but this hits different! And collaborating with DAGames.. makes it better. Love you guys! Keep up the great work Charlie!

So many others have said it already, but I think this song is just incredible at looking at the other side of this game.
