PROCEED - A Deltarune Snowgrave Original Song WITH LYRICS By RecD - deltarune THE MUSICAL BTOSIINT

Noelle Proceeds through the Snowgrave Route in deltarune Chapter 2 and gets stronger. Kris is there to lead the way. But something feels off...
I wrote this back in OCTOBER 2021 and it's taken this long to finally have the free time to finish it. It's a little late to the party, but better late than never!

LYRICS:
As I walk through this cyber city, bustling with light
The buildings shine so pretty, but there's no time to see the sights
There's danger, foes ahead, but I don't have a clue
What any of these spells or actions do...
I'M HOPELESS
PATHETIC
CAN'T EVEN HOLD MY OWN
THANK GOODNESS THEY'RE HERE BY MY SIDE
I'D BE SO DEAD ALONE
I'M WORTHLESS
A BURDEN
BUT WHEN THEY TAKE THE LEAD
THEY GIVE ME EVERYTHING I NEED
TO
PROCEED.
Don't know how long I've been defeating enemies...
But I'm getting stronger every vile foe I freeze!
I'm learning spells and doing well and wearing rings...
They're letting me do everything!
I'M HOPELESS
PATHETIC
BUT WITH THEM I CAN FIGHT
I WANT TO BE RELIEVED BUT SOMETHING
JUST DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT
I'M WORTHLESS
A BURDEN
BUT WHEN THEY TAKE THE LEAD
ALL OF MY FEARS AND THOUGHTS SECEDE...
If you say to do it…
Then it must be right!
I can muscle through it!
I’ll avert my sight…
I’ll unhear the screaming…
I’ll unfeel the pain…
I’ll unknow the answers
Only you remain…
Is that still you inside there?
Your words are cold
Or maybe it's just me, I'm good with ice, or so I'm told
Is this still me inside here?
It feels sometimes
Your words are overwriting mine...
I'M USEFUL
EMPOWERED
DON'T WANNA FIGHT NO MORE
THEY KEEP SAYING TO CAST A SPELL
I'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE!
I'M WORTHY
AN ASSET
SO SCREW IT, TAKE THE LEAD
I HOPE YOU LIKE WHAT YOU'VE DECREED
PROCEED.

Thats great news!

[@exi_m7074]

Bunch of cool details. At 0:52 “Little Guy” which Noelle says in the box, gets replaces with “Vile Foe” when text that says “DO NOT PITY THE ENEMY” comes up. At 1:01 “they’re maki-“ gets replaced by the spoken line when text saying “NOELLE MUST GET STRONGER” appears. At 2:05 it says “Zkb Lvq'w Vkh grlqj whh dwwdfn” which when shift cipher’d by +3 says “WHY ISNT SHE DOING THE ATTACK” At around 2:16 there’s another shift cipher which VERY roughly translates too “cmon I wanna see if the ending changes”

[@kauedasilva1072]

It really is quite dark when you see these text pop up, those being the thoughts of a player going down the Snowgrave Route. Those last two texts line though… Those are the thoughts of a player that doesn’t care how any of the characters are feeling.

[@robloxcool88]

@@rihard999 To do Snowgrave, once you have Noelle, you need to exclusively hit enemies with her Ice Shock spell. This spell is the only fatal attack in the game so far. Hunt for every enemy in Cyber City's early areas, backtracking to the trash zone. You'll know they're dead because they'll still be frozen in the overworld. Pick "Proceed" whenever it comes up as a dialogue option, pressuring her to solve puzzles on her own or otherwise do pretty terrible things. Other than that, when interacting with the carousel sign, pick "I'll ride with you" and then further insist when Noelle comments on it. (I think this dialogue is optional, but it's still noteworthy.) If you've done the route right up to the point you meet the pink Addison, talk to them. Tell them you and Noelle are "something else" (as in not just friends). They'll offer you a Freeze Ring, a new weapon for Noelle, but it'll cost more than you have (always your current money + 1). There is no way to get it "fair," so tell Noelle to "Get it" repeatedly until the screen goes black. The Addison will be gone, and Noelle will now have the Freeze Ring. Equip it. Keep going, keep freezing all enemies. Remember that it's *just* IceShock you can use in this section. Using any other attacks won't kill them, aborting the route. Somewhere down the line, you'll find a dumpster with Spamton inside. He will offer you something, but asks you to kill the rest of the enemies first. He'll give you a countdown like in the Undertale Genocide. Once you've killed all enemies in Cyber City, you'll unlock a new spell called "Snowgrave." Come back to Spamton. He'll offer you the Thorn Ring for D$1997. Buy it and equip it to Noelle - it reduces the cost of ice spells, but also deals constant damage to Noelle while in a fight. Only then can you finally leave Cyber City and move on to encounter Berdly. Tell Noelle to "Proceed" one last time, and the fight with Berdly will start. This time, do *not* use IceShock. Instead, build up TP by defending, then cast Snowgrave once you're at 100%. Noelle will refuse the first few times you press it. Keep going and she will cast the spell. The rest should be self-explanatory. Good luck.

[@rihard999]

@@robloxcool88 I know, but I don't want to feel soulless again trying to kill everything.

[@randomname1201]

I feel like this song doesn't just depict Noelle in snowgrave, but also us as the players For Noelle, she's smart, smart enough to figure out there's something wrong with Kris She's only following orders because she's too timid to stand up for herself, and the snowgrave route gave her a sense of control and worthy And for us as players, Toby's been increasing the importance of the choices and control since Ch.1 Make a vessel→discarded Meet Susie→mock you for practically every desicion you try to make for her, and go with her own ways Susie decides to join for real→gives you a bit more control over party members The collective result of sparing or fighting enemies→Finally some more effect Then Ch.1 ending→choices. don't. matter. So natually when you realized that Noelle could actually KILL the enemies, you as the player would go to extreme distances just to try it out If Undertale genocide was caused by boredom of resetting, then Deltarune snowgrave is caused by desperation and catching this glimpse of potenial control over the situation And every time a PROCEED pops up, you gradually understand that it's the option you have to push The stakes are too high, you can't care about how bad it would be, you have to try it out So every time you get Noelle to PROCEED, you yourself are also getting addicted to it Try to remember the time you met Berdly, Noelle saw him as "another enemy" after going through the snowgrave route How did you see him? And did you even hesitate when you saw the PROCEED option? Or did you instantly know which one to pick? Such levels of paranoid and insistance on continuing the route, are all shown in the consistant "ICESHOCK" "SNOWGRAVE" "PROCEED" and the cipher messages inbetween so good job! really saw myself in the player in this video

The art at 2:05 is actually so cool, it's such a shame it's only there for like half a second! The player's controller is connected to Kris's soul by a wire, and Noelle is tangled up in that wire. That's so cool and clever.

[@rxndomfxndom7405]

​@@brandonharv1223 ​@brandonharv1223 Pause at 2:05 and look carefully, i didn't notice it at first too. On the middle-right of the screen, there are two hands gripping a controller that looks like a console's controller, maybe an Xbox? From the top of the controller there is a wire, and it leads to Noelle abd Kris. Not only is it around Kris' soul, showing the player's control over him, but the wire is around Noelle's feet, chest, and I think hands, and it's blending into the outline for her hair, which shows how Noelle got pulled into the Snowgrave route without her wantimg to do it

[@BouncyBonBon]

I love how this song shows Noelle's intelligence in the Snowgrave route, but also her fear. She (like Spamton) can see the strings on Kris' soul and knows that they aren't in control, merely the puppet. But she is too scared to go against the puppeteer, just following the orders out of pure fear.

[@wandereringshadow8658]

You really convey the maniuplative nature of the relationship well, alongside Noelle's own struggles and her pent up rage and frustration being put to a boil by the players.

i love the choice of "dialouge" for the players as well cause it sounds like what IRL gamers would say talking to themselves "why wont she use the attack?" "i want to see if this changes the ending".

[@floppaenjoyer8297]

I just realized the whole song Noelle has some sort of "Robotic" tune to her voice, but in some parts (and specifically in 2:01) we can see how her voice is shifting to a more normal voice. This can be specifically noticed in the last parts of the song, when she shifts to herself and her "useful" form. This could mean the entire song she isnt herself at all and its just the player using her as an actual tool for the route

[@Ben-pf9wx]

I saw the voice as the player using the excuse, “these are not real people” so they can ignore Noelle, because it is just a computer game, and just manipulate her without a second thought.

[@allseeingeye4886]

what I always found fascinating about the snowgrave route is that we are manipulating this young girl with obvious self esteem issues into doing horrible things to both herself and those around her. To me, at least, that infinitely more disturbing than anything found in the genocide run.

Chara wasn't the greatest person, but they were still a very young child and were not completely awful, and they wouldn't really kill their parents if not the player's manipulation.

[@ExtemTheHedgehogLol]

The jumbled letters shown once Noelle starts giving into Kris' will are actually words, encoded using ROT3. Here they are decoded: 2:05 - "WHY ISN'T SHE DOING THE ATTACK" 2:15 - "CMON I WANNA SEE IF THE ENDING CHANGES" You might be asking, "what is ROT3"? Well, it's a kind of Letter Substitution Cipher in which the letters are rotated around the Alphabet 3 times, and can be decoded using ROT23, which is the same thing except rotated 23 times. For example, if you were to put "Subsribe to RecD" through ROT3, you would get "Vxevuleh wr UhfG", and putting that through ROT23 gives you "Subscribe to RecD" again. These are both variations on the main version of the Cipher, ROT13, which can be used to both encode and decode words, since 26/2=13.

I'm seriously so happy that RecD made a Deltarune song

[@MineBlox60000]

2:07 totally shell shocked me for a second there! Good job!!

[@theeclipsemaster]

All of your songs that ive heard so far have been amazing. This is no exception.

[@KesbugTheGameDestroyer]

This song is so unrated right now, it’s absolutely beautiful, and the instrumental is just purely amazing. The lyrics are so meaningful. Truly a masterpiece that captures the tone of the deltarune snowgrave path

Great work! This is amazing, and I'm so glad you did something Deltarune related again!

I went into this song hoping that it would be good since it was the first one I’ve seen from you in awhile I was pleasantly surprised! Honestly quite incredible

This is EASILY my favorite song you've made. Excellent work on the production to you and your entire team.

[@JachymorDota]

"They're letting me do everything!" Oh, such a wonderful line, as she is now able to fight but also has to do all the fighting alone.

[@WahekDoe28]

2:22 is the time where her final and most robotic voice kicks in and the sheer amount of snow graves in that short time is wow

[@sporkwizard4131]

Oh this really captures the spirit of the route super well, well done

[@Triker338]

the first song that disturbed me. you can see the shift in noelles personality, at the start shes a innocent girl, wanting to look at the lights. but at the end, shes actively freezing enemies, thinking that if she doesnt, they will die. and in the last scene, we can see that everytime Kris says to do snowgrave, her eyes go white, before she resists. but as Kris keeps doing it, the monster that Kris had been making finally fulfils its purpose.

[@jazzie-noodle]

HOLY SHIT THIS WAS SO COOL?! The backing vocals really add to the atmosphere, great job!

[@Idc111isamonke]

I love Noelle's voice

[@ValueNetwork]

Oh I’ll take a original song/ Snowgrave musical! The beat and overall pacing makes this feel just like the grind Snowgrave is. The numbers just keep going up as you grind the encounters, Noelle slowly getting stronger. This is composed very well!

[@lasagna3289]

Oh this is really really really good! You did such a good job portraying it.

[@ThePlushLuigiBros2018]

The fact that this didn't get as many views as his FNF Musical videos is a crime.

[@e3fejijfwijeifj]

Man this video is just amazing 👍

[@DrSuperLuigiSeth1]

I find Snowgrave even WORSE than the Genocide Route. Sure, YOU aren’t killing them…but you’re the reason they’re all dead. You’re cutting through the poor girl’s psyche, having her kill FOR you. At least in Undertale, you were doing the dirty work yourself.

[@nidiasg5280]

This art is so amazing I can’t take my eyes off it

[@deadmeat8888]

been listning to this song for 2 months now... and i just caught that when she turns into the white eyed form of herself and say "im worthy an asset", there is a dark male voice speaking with her. nice touch

( *Guys i just freaking created an AU!* ) ( *I basically took the player is controlling Kris theory added my own lore and set it in the 90s...Enjoy!* ) What if the Deltarune universe WAS actually a game a sentient game a world where the characters actually had lives where if they actually could think. I took deltarune and switched it up into something new (Well, the lore at least...) It all starts on October 31st, 1994, where a British game designer by the name of Tobias Elizibeth Foxworth ( *Yes i know it's a stupid name but i couldn't think of anything else for a spinoff of toby fox.* ) Anyways he releases a game unlike any other. A game named Deltarune but it's not an ordinary game around a few months after release people start having weird occurrences with their copies of the game. The npc's started having conversations with each other like conversation and doing things bizarre things that didn't feel scripted as if...they were alive, and the worst part is some people had experience's where the game characters broke the 4th wall and spoke to the player. Soon after in mid 1995 an internet group was formed. It mainly a bunch of teenagers and young adults who wanted to dig deeper into Deltarune and why it was acting so weird. Nothing weird happened with this group for a while until a young 18-year-old managed to hack the games system and hook up a webcam. He was able to actually access the games world and talk to the characters (Which didn't go well. The characters freaked and the game crashed.) All further investigation was called off after that. A few years later on September 17th, *1997* Chapter 2 was released. The game the same as before acted out. This caused the groups investigation to continue, and many kept their interest on a certain character. The character's name was Spamton G Spamton and acted the weirdest out of all the rest it was like Spamton knew their world was a game and knew someone was watching. ( Let's just say many quit the game after Spamtons encounter. ) The investigation went on until the chapter 7 ( *The last chapter* ) Was released and soon after the game was forgotten along with the group...The groups still around but it's a lot smaller than it was in the 90s. in 2013 a kid named Benjamin Foxworth ( *Tobias's/Toby's son...I know toby doesnt have a son.* ) goes missing without a trace ( *DUH DUH DUUUUH* ) Where did he go? Well let's just say he's going to have one hell of a time in the dark world... ( *Im not finished with the Aus lore, so this is all i have sorry. I will be sure to update this comment when i have more complete!* ) ( *Here's a fun fact! 2 chapters at a time in this Au were released on their own separate floppy disk expansion/2 chapters per floppy disk. Persey if people kept buying each chapter until chapter 7 they would have 5 floppy disks! The last floppy would contain some bonus content. Chapter one was a single chapter floppy since Tobias had trouble with chapter 2 and had to release it later with chapter 3. This led him to release chapter 4 with chapter 5 and chapter 6 with 7.* ) ( *Another Fun fact Undertale in this Au released on September 15th 1991!* ) ( *Anyways thanks for reading if you did and feel free to expand on the Au if you want...I know this Au might not make sense to all of you and for that I'm sorry. I'm a bit of an amateur when it comes to world building. So yeah, that's it for now i will be sure to update this comment when i have a new idea, PEACE!* )

i like as the song proceeded, her voice sounded more and more cracked from distress or sadness. its such a nice detail !!

[@farbencut]

Going onto this, I was afraid it was gonna be one of those cringe Deltarune songs that only exist to clickbait and make money. But then I saw RecD made it - and it’s honestly really good, it illustrates Noelles feelings so incredibly well and accurately, I was low-Key shocked how good it was!

[@azizshamsi6044]

Are you new here?? If so, RecD never made anything clickbaity just to get views and attention in order for him to make money out of it. Plus his chamnel is no children nursery rhyme, just plain out lyrical adaptions and original songs, some of them made with his own well written stories such as FNF

[@farbencut]

@@azizshamsi6044 No I’m not new here. I was here before FNF. I am saying, that most song adaptations I see are clickbait cringe - but when I saw that RecD made it I knew that it wasn’t - as RecD never made clickbait cringe. That’s what my comment said.
