Lyrics:
It's been a little while
Since closing time
And now everybody's lost their style
Their peak design
But in this dumpster fire
Deep underground
The electrical cobwebs made from wires
Are where I'm bound
Within my world
I lack verbosity
A ghost in the machine
All boys and girls
Who wander through this place
Are set to be erased
Just stay away
And escape from this decay
I've all the time to kill
And I will not be led astray
Just stay away
No, this ain't the time to play
It won't be long until
You find you're face to face with ruin
You just might hear me hum
Behind the bass
But there isn't much that can be done
Without your face
Beneath this hollow shell
Lies dark deceit
Consider the source of your intel
Is it concrete?
Be careful now
I'm not the one to fear
There's so much worse in here
Beware the sound
Of disembodied cries
They might be in disguise
Just stay away
And escape from this decay
I've all the time to kill
And I will not be led astray
Just stay away
No, this ain't the time to play
It won't be long until
You find you're face to face with ruin
Just stay away
And escape from this decay
I've all the time to kill
And I will not be led astray
Just stay away
No, this ain't the time to play
It won't be long until
You find you're face to face with ruin
Just stay away
And escape from this decay
I've all the time to kill
And I will not be led astray
Just stay away
No, this ain't the time to play
It won't be long until
You find you're face to face with ruin
Just stay away
Just stay away
Just stay away

hi

[@sheepercal1374]

Noone talking about the fact that the mad lads actually animated MXES' mouth to sync with the lyrics in the parts where Cassie wears the Vanni mask.

[@squishyseraph7780]

Good point. It should be talked about.

[@Lethalluffy]

Yes bro fr

[@jenniscott4814]

Dang, he's a good singer.

[@loganentertainment1814]

I haven’t noticed until you mentioned it. MXES is my favorite character. 😀👍

[@Serial_Destination_V]

N? What are you doing here aren’t you supposed to do your job?

[@billie-ve_in_yourself6464]

Thanks for this depiction of MXES! I was so happy when MXES was reveled to be not bad as Fnaf 3 Shadow Bonnie wanted to free the kids souls. Glitchtrap made the next depiction of a purple glitchy bunny be evil, so Fnaf 3 Shadow Bonnie got sidelined. MXES brings back the good intention of Shadow Bonnie, which I quite like.

[@electrobob992]

I do hope help wanted 2 sheds some light on it's origin. WHO made it, is it more than a simple AI. I definitely agree with some fans, it's like glitchtrap but different... Either Micheal, the small part of Glitchtrap that was "good", or maybe even some remnant of ALL the child souls that took on the form of their killer to be a force of good. If it's micheal, I would then say Freddy is henry.

[@132computer]

The computer it's on is a CTRV or smn like that which was very old around the 1980s! So probably to hold the Mimic. Just watch Game Theory.

[@132computer]

And someone uses his name! No one else and they just say ghost. Which does go with this song but still, real name!

[@neile.4094]

I really like the monotone robotic voice, which at the same time goes up and down, making for some pretty peculiar singing! And I love how these swing-ish lively vocals contrast with the completely rigid, mechanical chiptune melody! I also adore that part in there that sounds like a spring going off -- or a roller coaster. Nonetheless, it's been stuck in my head for quite a while. What a nice song!

[@TheProPlebNoob]

You've made yet another banger Shadrow! I absolutely loved the chorus on this one, gonna be stuck in my head for a while (in the best way possible!)

Another super cool song woohooo!! 🎉 Your songs always have really catchy beats!

[@hui_pinau]

I don't like how the new storyline of the game is developing, but I still like the songs that are created based on it

[@theelementalgamer5910]

Wish I could have caught the premiere! The song, as always, is amazing. Hearing the melody during that first chorus was literally jaw-dropping. Not sure exactly what feel it has, but I love it. On the visual end, seeing... I guess we'll call it the Ghost, move its mouth along to 'sing' was fun, and both scenes look incredible. And the lyrics? Fantastically written. So many subtle references to key plot elements, especially in the second verse. (Side note, you're one of the best at being subtle like that I've ever heard, in general.) Leaning in to the 'security' aspect of the Ghost is also an interesting take, and one I haven't seen before, but I'm a fan. Ninja edit: Releasing on the same day as the movie? Bold. And also smooth.

[@132computer]

He has a real name but I forgot. I think it's like Nyxs. Pronounced that way but not spelled that way. I also agree with what you've said.

[@theelementalgamer5910]

@@132computer I'm pretty sure the box says M.X.E.S on it, yeah. I just like Ghost more, plus it fits the name of the song.

[@132computer]

[@coolkattcoder]

Absolutely fantastic! One of the few fnaf songs that acknowledges mxes as the failed hero that they are!

[@thequire9809]

I don't have a clue why, but the masked cassie drawing feels like it's the coolest thing I've ever seen. And I haven't seen anything cool enough to even use the word since the first few years after I learned English. I do wonder though... What made it feel so 'cool' to me. Oh, and also, the song itself is of course a work of art. You improve yourself every day!

[@squishyseraph7780]

Well, best thing you can do is find more samples of whats cool to you and then compare to find matching stuff.

[@Filacki]

I'm getting really strong vibes of your song "CTRL" from this one! Great job on lyrics as well! :)

[@slush1190]

Aaaahhhh, I was waiting to hear something from you about Ruin!!! I absolutely love the portrayal of the song from the perspective of M.X.E.S, you always seem to find interesting perspectives to retell stories from, like Ford in "Lost my Mind". It's also a joy to hear more chiptune and vocal distortion effects, since they fit M.X.E.S extraordinarily well as a character. And clever script as always, it's amazing to hear some of your wordplay. Great job Shad!!!! Super proud of you on this one ❤️

[@ThatWannabeMusician]

The first song to be sung from the perspective of MXES, an intriguing angle

[@electrobob992]

This song really fits the Entity. I still wonder who created it, or even IF he was created by someone. I agree to the two theories. That it's either the sole part of William Afton that was good, or Micheal.

[@electrobob992]

Though I could also see it being an AI similar to the Mimic, but it learned from other sources. For example managed to get information regarding the classic animatronics and the Puppet's desire to PROTECT kids.

[@slywhemwick8071]

While this is an older comment, honestly I could see that. Mimic could have been the prototype and was buried with corrupt and vile info to constantly recycle and learn from only THOSE things; while MXES could have learned good from watching security cameras wherever William went(cause William probably would adore to feed a pet project) and got extra info and humanity from extra remenant

[@lidkasplus]

Your beats are always so well made and I love how clean the vocoder is, keep killing it 🔥

I was looking for new fnaf songs not expecting much, but man there sure was a diamond on this ruins! Awesome song.

Unlike the DLC this song isn't in ruin, it's a perfect banger! also love the chorus, very catchy!

[@daranaqelforastero319]

The DLC isn't as bad as the main game, trust me, they learned something from the fiasco the main game was

[@jayjayjonny5043]

@@daranaqelforastero319 The Main Game was able to be made way more fun BECAUSE of the bugs.. it's like a sandbox if you know how to do the bugs. Better than how boring RUIN was.

[@daranaqelforastero319]

@@jayjayjonny5043 Bugs are not supposed to happen, they're funny to find, but they're not supposed to happen, do you think old games had THIS many bugs? FNAF isn't known for bugs, it's known to have great gameplay and story, Security Breach has terrible gameplay for a horror game, the worst part is that they had the chance, to have this giant mall on a full black out, all by yourself, only hearing stuff, and having nothing to defend yourself, I mean I have my own version of how I would have liked Security Breach to be, it isn't like Ruin honestly, but Ruin did a better job than the base game, literally the 40 bucks from the base game are more worth to the DLC honestly, I'm sorry but it really feels like you're missing the point of a video game. Also one of the bugs that can happen is getting soft blocked, it once happened to me on A LEGO VIDEO GAME, and it was the worst, 'cuz it was an old one, LEGO Batman, on the first game you didn't have auto saves or a place to save, each level was it's own save, so if you didn't complete it and had to quit the game, too bad for you, now imagine you didn't have to quit the game, but instead, the game didn't provide you with the things you need to go forward but it also locked you on the place you are, so now you got to restart. A video game doesn't need bugs to be fun, it needs gameplay to be fun, the story is more like a little extra to the game.

[@jayjayjonny5043]

@@daranaqelforastero319 Obviously bugs aren't meant to happen, that doesn't mean you're not able to have fun with them, though. Most old games have less bugs because they're simpler, so I don't know why you made that point. I will agree, Security Breach wasn't worth the money it costed when expecting a horror game, but at least it was fun to play. Something which RUIN did not deliver on, in my personal opinion. Just because I personally didn't find RUIN enjoyable compared to Security Breach because of it's bugs, DOESN'T mean I don't understand the point of video games. Of COURSE they aren't meant to be buggy, but that doesn't mean you can't have fun with them. Not quite sure what bug you're referring to when you say "One of the bugs in Security Breach can softlock you" and then you started talking about Lego Batman. I can't really make sense of what you wrote but from what I had gathered, you say that Lego Batman has an area on a certain level that you can be soft locked in, which had happened to you before, so you had to quit the level, and on Security Breach, you say there is a part in the game that you can get soft locked in that wouldn't provide you with anything to get out of that area, so you'd have to restart the game? I'm not quite sure what bug you're even talking about, or how easy it is to find in a real playthrough, just regularly playing the game, but if your point was "There is a bug where you can get soft locked in security breach which is bad" then yes, I would agree with you on that front, that's a bug that obviously doesn't make the game more fun or better and it shouldn't be there. A video game shouldn't have to have bugs to make it fun, I never said that. My point was, is that Security Breach in particular, had bugs which made it fun. Yeah, I would agree, a video game should need gameplay to make it fun, something RUIN did not do for me personally, I enjoyed Security Breach much more, even without the bugs. The.. story is a little extra to the game? I guess so? I would disagree in some areas of that, but alright. Overall, I think you made valid points, but I just disagree with you mostly. Agree to disagree, I guess.

Evan was celebrating his birthday at Fred bears family diner. Michael was hanging out with his 3 friends Andrew, Jeremy, and the phone guy. Michael accidentally killed Evan in Fred bears mouth. Julie forgives Michael. William turns evil. Evan possessed golden Freddy. 1985: William killed 5 kids (including Andrew the Freddy mask bully). golden Freddy resurrects them in the animatronics. William Afton killed Charlotte Emily outside of the pizzeria. charlotte starts possessing the puppet. days later Elizabeth Afton died after she was clawed in by circus baby. Julie becomes ballora. Michael Afton was scooped and becomes a rotten corpse. 1987: William killed 5 more kids at Freddy Faz bears pizzeria. the souls start possessing the toy animatronics. Michael investigates the incident. Jeremy (bonnie mask bully) was killed by mangle. 1993: Michael was hired as a nightguard at Freddy Faz bears pizzeria.

Gregory, Freddy and vanessa survived and left the Pizza plex. the events of help wanted 2 happened. Cassie entered the Pizza plex when the mimic used his Gregory voice. she was injured and unconscious but survived. Roxy found her and escaped the Pizza plex. Cassie was brought to the hospital and wakes up in her patient room and sees Gregory, vanessa, Roxy, and Freddy checking on her. she smiled after that. what do you think about my timeline that I created myself?
