[@EGCs_3_year_old_Channel]

The finished version only modulates the god-like figure, making it feel like a person fearing a force they're unfamiliar with, allowing us to relate to them more and fear the ruler of everything. This version only pitches up the human, presenting them in a more mocking tone, playing up the aspect of foolish ignorance they display in the lyrics and making the ruler of everything seem more like an empathetic being trying to get the human to understand they can't ignore their place. I really enjoy the inverse in both versions, they each provide a different experience.

[@vincentknott5657]

i think the ruler of everything is time itself rather than a physical bieng because we all die in due time time is therefor the ruler of everything also time is eternal

You practice your mannerisms into the wall If this mirror were clearer I'd be standing so tall I saw you slobber over clovers on the side of the hill I was observing the birds (Circling for the kill) I've been you, I know you, your façade is a scam You know you're making me cry, this is the way that I am I've been living a lie, a metamorphical scheme Detective undercover, brotherhood, objective, obscene Oh, no, no, oh, yeah [Bridge] Do you hear the flibbity jibbity jibber jabber With an, "Oh my god I've got to get out of here or I'll have another Word to sell, another story to tell Another timepiece ringing the bell" Do you hear the clock stop when you reach the end? No, you know it must be never-ending, comprehend if you can But when you try to pretend to understand You resemble a fool although you're only a man So give it up and smile Do you hear the flibbity jibbity jibber jabber With an, "Oh my god I've got to get out of here or I'll have another Word to sell, another story to tell Another timepiece​ ringing the bell" Do you hear the clock stop when you reach the end?

He's the dog of a god so he's very special witch is why he was able to shoot the sun. 0:39 "You understand mechanical hands are the ruler of everything?" is the dad god telling his son about the power that they have like "You know we have a lot of responsibilities as gods right?" Hes saying this because hes going to send his son to that planet to observe its citizens to see how to create them a new sun 0:49 The son being like "Yeah i am the ruller of everything thats so cool! >:D" 1:08 The reversed words are the other gods talking but from the planets hes visiting the words of the gods just sounds like gibberish 1:53 "I've been living a lie a metaphorical scheme" is the minimum wage employe thinking about his crapy job and life

I haven't seen anyone else reference this in the comments so I'd like to point it out I noticed the demo versions of Ruler of Everything and Spring and a Storm share the lyrics of "Play Pretend" I feel like this confirms the theory that the sun is in Ruler of Everything (being a more demanding figure) and the moon in Spring and a storm is more of a reassuring figure. idk i may be wrong but i noticed both of the demo's have the same lyric 🤷‍♂
