LYRICS:
Oh, what a mess.
What a sticky situation we fell into.
But oh, I must confess:
I'm not off guard, but if you are, then I don't blame you.
Who could have prepared for where we've landed?
I'm not sure I want to meet them.
Now, we have to play with the cards that we've been handed
(and you can bet I'm going to beat them).
Tell me truthfully, when you woke up this morning
where did you think that you'd go to sleep again?
Somewhere safe? Somewhere you know?
Surely not this madhouse
together alone with unfamiliar friends.
'Won't somebody come save us?'
I hear you cry to the cameras,
but there's something that I think you missed my dear.
You say we can't have been forgotten,
that there must be someone watching.
Why would someone watching want us out of here?
See what you want when you look at me
if you won't open your eyes, who cares what you see?
Honestly, I've better things to do
than explain myself to you.
You don't have all the information,
so, yes, I understand your point of view.
You're so comfortable claiming I'm on the wrong path
but I don't remember asking you.
'How can you be so calm?'
you practically snap at me
while you're pointing your finger
accusingly.
Excuse me if the big picture has stayed in my sights,
so if you don't mind, I'm trying to get out alive.
Say what you like, I promise I'm not going to stop you.
Think what you must, it's all on you.
No one's coming to our rescue.
Yes, I know this must distress you
but if we can't be our own saviours
we'll be damned.
So get a grip on your composure.
Things will be worse before they're over.
Look a little deeper. Try to understand.
See what you want when you look at me
if you won't open your eyes, who cares what you see?
Honestly, I've better things to do
than explain myself to you.
I've been screaming the truth, but you just won't see
'cause I'm the only one here that you won't believe
and everything that I've done, well it's all for you.
Though I've shouted and shouted, I can't get through.
I'm begging you, use your brain for a moment.
Try to figure it out on your own.
I won't always be there when you call.
They can lie all they like, but I won't concede.
Cut me up with your knives. It's not like I'll bleed.
I know you don't see the real shape of this battlefield
but my words are my weapons. In secret I'm your shield.

After nearly four months of not being able to hear properly, this is what greets my ears. On repeat. This whole album has lit a new fire of motivation in me to write, so as I designate songs to my character playlists and motivational mood sets for writing, I thank you from the depths of my heart and soul. I've been a fan from the start and will 'til the end. Your work speaks in magical ways that should I ever get my drawing oomph back, I'd love to portray in story animatics one day. Thank you for creating these works of art.

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

Oh my goodness, thank you so much!! I'm glad your hearing's back, and hearing that my music sparks creativity is the highest compliment.

[@HaphazardDisastard]

This song needs more views. It's so catchy and wonderful!

[@SphyeLeMe]

You tell such intriguing stories with your music! The perspective conveyed through these monologue-esque lyrics is so clearly point to something, but like the borders of a puzzle, it leaves so much room for possibility. I'm incredibly torn between wanting to play with those possibilities and wanting to know the exact intended meaning.

[@lydiap.9337]

Holy cow. I got this recommended to me. I was surprised when I got it because of the number of views and I was floored when I listened to it. Got a new fan here. This is exactly what I love in music. Just everything. Great job.

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

welcome to the party!!! thanks for giving me a chance

[@lydiap.9337]

@@RachelRoseMitchell no problem thank you for not hiding your talent! I hope the algorithm continues to bless other ears with your music.

[@acethejester]

Discovered this channel through a song called "hey Alice". I'm a little freak with wonderland and madness. but then again, We're All Mad Here!

[@osielgarza5990]

This is an anthem for natural born leaders, or anyone that has become aware of the need to lead. I instantly connected with the lyrics and as I listen to the song more, the sound reflects the attitude I take in this particular situation when chaos envelopes my environment and I go into a "business as usual", trivializing mindset that makes how I react give the impression that I playfully dance my way through difficult times. I love it. Thank you.

[@mo.ondial]

welcome back !!!! you were the first artist ive ever been a fan of (after gilbert and sullivan but i dont think they count ghdfjks) and i found your music soon after the ticketman came out when i was just a sophomore in high school - i missed the rest of the glow in the dark because i was still on wheres your wonderland at that point haha, so this is the first release ive been here for, now a rising sophomore in college and so much has changed in my life but what will never change is i still love your music so much. this song is just as entrancing as all my other favorites and i was so excited i started crying!!!

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

oh goodness, thank you so much!!

[@ishner]

The cat-snek-cyclopses are adorable

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

Thank you! Had so much fun animating them haha

[@miniatureviking3207]

I even saw a few skycats! (Presumably anyway by the ears. They could very well be normal cats with two pairs of ears though.)

[@ebonysage42]

Nope, actually I’m just head over heels in love with the whole song. It has spoken to my soul.

[@aethersparkle2135]

This song blorbles my brain so hard. Makes me see LED lights and death games organized by eldritch gods. I've been listening to it like three times a day lately

[@SkyAlbaharu]

I'm so excited!! A full album!!! And this one already sounds amazing and I just listened to 10 seconds!!!

[@SkyAlbaharu]

Indeed the song is excellent!! I just!! Have no words I love the little sounds and the chorus and the cats and the mysterious lyrics I will listen to with more attention later to understand the meaning 💖💖💖💖 but I love it so much, I think you are one of the few artist that I like every song

[@stellunablaze9291]

Welcome back, Rachel!👏

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

thank you!!

[@awfulq]

im not even done with the song and im obsessed. stan forever. ive been listening since like, the second version of hey alice, been here through light shows/shadow puppets and heart of mine, your work has inspired me forever ♡

[@sarahcicle8592]

IM SO EXCITED, I’ve been looking forward to the new album and so far it hasn’t disappeared

[@ebonysage42]

2:04 to 2:16 is where I felt at one with the video and fell in love with the song.

[@marieb4496]

Ok; this is your best album yet! To me I kept thinking of the “Old” movie by Shyamalan and the people in Wandavision for this one. But it also brings back Iron Children vibes. I love it!

[@ericthebmo3433]

Ive had this song on repeat since it came out, its so good! Reminds me of a character in a story my love is creating ☆

[@RainbowRose1000]

Loving this! I’m so looking forward to the new album! I’ve been waiting for long time for new music by you and I’m so excited! Definitely worth the wait 💜💚🖤💙

[@Merisu_Sheep]

AHH IT'S BEEN SO LONG IT'S NICE TO HERE SOME NEW STUFF

[@chaoscretin5272]

Starting around 5:12 there’s a faint heartbeat sound that reminds me a little of the rhythm of CR1M1N4L CR1M1N4L.

[@horizonpenblade1288]

I love that the eldritch watching worms have cat noses/mouths

[@mattreed6650]

Masterfully done🥰 Your magic is as grand as ever 🥳

[@HikaryTheHedgehog]

Omg just the initial beat it’s so catchy. I’m already loving it

[@whilenya4714]

I've been listening to your music since I was a teen when I first heard "Hey Alice" and made it my life goal to marathon every track you released from then on, but (what with everything that went on) it's been a couple years since I last stopped by, and my am I not disappointed! You're still sounding just as great as always. If anything you've never stopped improving!

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

thank you so much, that’s so kind of you!! i’ve got a new track coming out in a couple of weeks, i hope you like it just as much :)

[@boxlessone1046]

HeHe funny cats go brrrrrrrr

[@bluebird1512]

slaying as usual i see

[@pinklightninggacha]

Awesome you brought out another song I love your music

[@asiah.5691]

i am ur biggest fan!!

[@Manas-co8wl]

I got all my cards. If this is really a game, I can only hope we're on the same team. Because it's been years since I've listened to your songs, and you're the only one who can consistently scare me like this. ...on a saner note, you're a really good singer. Sometimes I envy you. I wish I can sing my emotions and thoughts like that.

[@celticbituitos4693]

MERVEILLEUX !!!

[@Mike_Ferguson]

Rachel. I love it🙏❤️✨️

[@chaossymphony6643]

I've listened to your song "Thorns" some time ago. Now I found you again and I think I'm in love with your voice

[@user-iz1tn5lm3y]

Я тебя вообще всегда любил. Ещё со старых времён Circus

[@lordrabbit7713]

This is giving me some slight Emily the strange vibes.

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

ooh i like that interpretation!

[@Areken33]

Ok, I'm not saying that you copied anyone, but the woah part at 1:09-1:12 sounds so much like another song that I cannot remember. It's like you unlocked a memory. It's probably a common progression.

[@HaphazardDisastard]

While contemplating the meaning of this song, I made a realization... I don't play the game, but this song could work pretty well for Among Us. 🤔

[@hamptonfamily3817]

it's giving me Madame macabre vibes 😅

[@user-iz1tn5lm3y]

Rosa, новая группа появилась?
