It’s how our days end and it’s how they all start
We come together ’til we slowly drift apart
It’s everyone versus everyone
Always look down never know where you’re about to run
We never listen but we wanna feel seen
Big pain from a tiny lying screen
Now we’re addicted to the poison
See the whole world but you never look up
Scrolling for a sign to get my fill
While everybody’s running I’m stuck still
But if I don’t keep up
Sure enough they’ll watch me drown
I’m sick of how I monetize this pain
Chasing something viral in my veins
But if the numbers aren’t up
Maybe I should just break down
We’re praying, but staying
Complacent in the envy we crave
We’re hoping, and waiting
For someone else to tell us we’ll all be okay
I see the hands of the clock tiktok going backwards
My mind is slipping just a little bit faster
So bury this sinner alongside the saints
You can’t tell us apart when we’re decayed
Hoping and waiting
For some god damn good news maybe
Please put it down soon
No one else can do it
So you gotta make it
Hoping and waiting
For some god damn good news maybe
You gotta make it

[@dheusta]

Dang. GREAT lyrics. Those hit hard

[@hasshenjo6416]

The man himself

[@chrysalis_butterfly3975]

I know Nate has worried that people are just gonna jump ship if he never makes any fandom songs again but it’s simply not true. Yes, I found him through FNAF. Yes I love all his fandom songs, but I love them for his voice and lyrics and style, not for the video games they’re based on. At the end of the day that’s what I’m sticking around for. 8 years now I’ve been listening to your music religiously. Nate, as long as you’re making stuff, as long as you have something to say, I’ll be here to listen. And I know I’m not the only one who will.

[@skytheprimaldragon7689]

Funnily enough, I only discovered him via his Steven Universe Song "Let Me Try" I didn't even know he DID FNAF songs until very recently as I mostly listen to his original songs such as Smoke and Guns, and Dream Alone. Or his cover of "Irresistible" lol I mean I also listen to a few of his other fandom songs as well (Fairy Tail, Overlord, and a few other Anime) but never actually come cross his FNAF stuff strangely enough even after all these years

[@Riprider_Music]

Follow through the fandom, stay for the _actual originals_

[@ThornEthics]

you wanna know why the channel is dead? he rebranded as a record label when people only subbed to see NATEWANTSTOBATTLE. the people who get recommended these videos don't click on it because they dont care about anyone besides nate. he caused this all himself

[@chrysalis_butterfly3975]

@@skytheprimaldragon7689 i really love his steven universe stuff, actually. truly underrated.

[@Kamryn1998]

This 🙏🏻 I discovered him in high school, and he quickly became my favorite artist solely for his voice. To this day, he's still my favorite artist

[@sadomen1947]

This song.... Why does it feel like a slice of current reality? This isn't how things should be, but it is how things are. Amazing work as always, and I forever look forwards to the music that you make.

[@monsterpichu8112]

Cuz it is

[@HeroTheHedgehog999]

Yeah a lot of songs have gotten me to realize how reality really is and this song is an example.

[@name.255]

edgy ahh

[@PhazonEnder]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, social media is cancer.

[@Sylveon17]

The vibes from this song always hit so hard! Absolutely insane

[@camkast8052]

Honestly I feel like this has to be the most relatable song to many people because of how our society is these days, it's definitely a great take on it too. Love the album man, I got a signed copy of it too!

[@un_AUTHORIZE]

There's a lot of grit and passion in this song. This one's personal. Amazing work, man.

[@SeaofFireGaming]

My CD arrived today! Nate, every album you've put out has been amazing, but this is top tier! Absolute favourite, thank you so much for doing what you do

[@Kay1sConfused]

MY CLASS CAN WAIT! MY GRADES ARE NOT MORE IMPORTANT THAN THIS! Edit - this visual is absolutely fire and this is one of my favorite songs on the album! The message behind it is just so true!

[@GatoPaint]

basically me 24/7

[@TBG1]

This song is insanely deep and hits close to home for many, I think. Well done, Nate

[@papergirl9658]

I love watching the lyric videos and finding a whole new meaning to the song.

[@Cuyoya]

Damn, this song really Tiks my Tok 😩

[@TBG1]

This should be top comment

[@icecreamkitty6408]

I honestly don’t know wut to say. This was epic. The visuals r just on point. On. Point. My friend. And his voice, drums, guitar and the 2nd verse. Still worth the watch and listen.

[@kadongleongle]

Is it just me or does the background kinda look AI generated in some places? No hate, but it just kinda looks like it to me

[@Magiccazza101]

This song, this entire album is just full of passion and emotion. I love it all. I’ve always loved your music but your original albums are always top tier and this one is just amazing! ❤

[@hatandglasses7574]

Loving that you're not only making original music again ( nothing against the Fandom songs), but also banger music with a message!

[@NeonLightsYT1]

This sums up so many of us nowadays, always thinking you’re falling behind a trend, or putting on a Facade just to pretend you’re one of THEM.

[@Malory-Malicious]

are are some of the images here ai generated

[@MikeDMon]

It might be, as from some research, person which was responsible for the music video is using AI image technology, but I don't think it's Nate's fault, as he might not have been aware of this.

[@knockout8157]

I love the little touch that viral is spelled as v1r@l, as though it’s a swear being censored. Even the title is showing us that going viral isn’t necessarily a good thing when you consider what has been sacrificed to get there. Amazing song Nate 👍

[@KingKafei]

This is your first original song I'm listening to from you after hearing your song in sonic frontiers and damn the instrumentals are sick, killer guitar tone you dialed in for this one!

[@Mn.D]

This song is truly deep, make you think about the current reality. Again, thank you for the amazing work.

[@alext5885]

love the new album! this song and video are both amazing!

[@crzyflowrsan]

Damn, first Derivakat now Nate... I think maybe more people need to realize the issue chasing clout is since two different artists that I know of in one year released songs about it. amazing work like always!

[@Excelsior1937]

Idolize by Caleb Hyles too

[@knockout8157]

And better off worse by vocacircus. …this… this is probably a bad sign, huh?

[@angrytheclown801]

I thought most people always saw chasing clout as the curse it always has been. That this song is aimed at those few, not most of us. Not that it shouldn't be talked about, it is a social disease, but it's easy to see through.

[@willshelby6172]

This song is so fire. Such an interesting and relatable topic explained so vividly. The video is perfect too. Out of the park, Nate!

[@idunno7427]

MAAANNN THIS HITS HARD. Awesome MV for an awesome song; both are beautiful.

[@NewlineVoid]

hasnt even been that long since this was released, and im already addicted.

[@LilianFawcette]

I was first! Nate, I absolutely love this album; you portrayed so many different feelings in each song. Your music is something that i will just play loudly so that I can yell with you, especially since my preoder of this album got here. I've been a big fan of yours for about 3 years! Hope you have a great rest of your week. ❤

[@jess-lynne]

HELL YEAH, DUDE! SICK AS HELL!

[@samininjabattle5afton419]

Love hearing Nate's original stuff. Keep up the good work 💖

[@R3DX_EXE]

I thought the title read "Virgin" and was confused for a sec.

[@qiznakmeletop]

holy shit the music video looks sick as FUCKKK, really doin the song justice!!!

[@zoommega7557]

First Also really love the song, one of the favs from the album, reminds me a lot of nothing left to want musically and I really love that. I also just love how the lyrics are related to technology and social media in today’s day and age

[@Elytrii]

this is amazing, it shows the problems with social media in a very epic way

[@lucaskeith7973]

The video looks amazing on this song. This album doesn’t have any bad song.

[@ethantruong8673]

Man the instrumentation on this goes so hard

[@jensenwright5547]

Absolutely in love with everything about this: the music, the rhythm, the lyrics... the bridge is eclectic.

[@nman551]

This is very fitting for current society

[@SilverYoshi]

Absolutely love the reference to Drown from Songs of Time. Love every song your produce Nate

[@dogninja0180]

Where does it reference drowning?

[@SilverYoshi]

@@dogninja0180 "Scrolling for a sign to get my fill While everybody’s running I’m stuck still But if I don’t keep up Sure enough they’ll watch me drown" The inflection on "Drown" is similar to the emotion behind "You learned to breathe but you can't see you're drowning". At least to me

[@dogninja0180]

@@SilverYoshi that’s not referencing drowning to me at all

[@roxelflame813]

This is such an amazing song and the visuals of the video are amazing! 🔥 One of my favorite songs on the album right now 🔥

[@duckatali]

HOLY SHIT my favorite song got an animation FUCK YEAH

[@charcoal98]

I'd love to see a video for Ghost Town. It's my personal favorite of the album.

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

AN INCREDIBLE SURPRISE 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@quinnbernal1398]

I really like how the music video for these songs is made. It's pretty clear from the title that this was a commentary on the nature of social media and how toxic and too ingrained its become in our society. As someone that's not only been a musician, but also a full-fledge KZbinr for over a decade now, I've no doubt this is one of Nate's more personal songs (pretty much all of them are, especially for this album in particular, but you get the point). There really should be more commentary on these topics. Not just songs, but in general. I remember a yokai show that had an episode about this exact subject after watching a video from Gaijin Goomba. I say this and I'm on my phone a lot, but I'm not really on any other platforms besides here and I've been working on trying to keep off my devices with good progress, so I'm not really like others who become addicted to their electronics. Still, more attention should be brought to this and I'm glad Nate made a rocking song about it.

[@ShadoeLandman]

This gives me such Scrap Heap vibes.

[@Swishyhead]

That chorus reaffirms why you're one of my favourite lyricists.

[@DriftoReal]

Wow this is what life is like now. It’s so sad. Amazing song 10/10

[@ImMrSuarez]

To all fellow small creators.. don’t give up hope, keep chasing the dream!!

[@True1Counter]

VERY GOOD SONG, my favorite from the album. However at 2:35 it says "Viwes", not Views 😅

[@postbunnie]

Hehehe best numbers: 143 (For I love you), 101010(binary for 42), and a rickroll.

[@Tsuu07]

Ai art :(

[@alyceblak1524]

Is it? I was feeling that too, I just can't find much on it

[@MatthewLickers]

Yeah, it’s sad to see

[@MikeDMon]

Unfortunate, but I don't think it's Nate's fault, but the person's responsible for the video.

[@lilblkrose]

@@alyceblak1524 Hints are the shadow merging with hair strands and pulled back hair out of place and random shadows of nonexistent hair.

[@kittydemonoverkill]

Love this one! Whilst there isn't as much of a relatability factor as there is on a lot of the other songs of the album, this one certainly has some of the best instrumentals/rhythm to it. Can't wait to see which one gets a music video next :)

[@RoValerius]

I like the direction of the video a lot, it's different than what you usually go for but it's somehow suiting. I don't know how to articulate how I feel about the message of the songs on this album. It's bittersweet, in a way, that this is my favourite album so far, but it hold so much hurt and fear. I don't know if it's any consolation from me but I'll be here as your fan until the end, since that's all I can do for you.

[@makosinnergy]

banger track as usual but is that a typo at 2:34 lmao

[@redwitchermashups]

one of your best songs ever

I don't even care that this messes with my photosensitivity issues I'm watching this 12 more times

This song is badass, LOVE getting a video for it ❤

Idk y but I read "Virgin" That coupled with the anime dude made for a pretty funny sight

There's no visual artist source? ...Looking closely, it looks like it's AI generated...

Yes there is it says who the video is by 😭

[@Tarantula55]

RAHHH LOVE LOVE LOVE

[@Sethsimracing]

This is actually such an important song. I've finally gotten un-addicted to my phone. I don't do any standard social media, and I am on it for less than an hour a day. It's so much better!
