This song personally gives me an strange sense of nostalgia. It's that same feeling I get when something I really like comes to an end, and I finally realize there's no more. It's a mix between sadness, acceptance and gratitute. This song somehow feels like a goodbye, but at the same time it feels like it opens to something else. Honestly I really like it a lot

[@Jeremy-bt8lo]

Is the community really that toxic? I usually pop in to the fandom at the start of every new game since Fnaf 1. And the stuff I see and people I talk to about fnaf is pretty positive or that they don’t like that current game so they’ll wait for the next one.

[@Flugel_Halogen]

I miss the days when fnaf used to trend not because of a new controversy but because of Scott or a fan sharing their new addition to the community

[@josephkeen7224]

I honestly find it funny how the older games lore is considered less complex, because I remember people around 2014-2015 saying the lore was overly complicated back then. I believe this might be more due to the theory’s instead of the actual lore.

[@aubergineman3205]

Lore back then was good. It wasn't "complex" one just had to do a little digging to find some answers. Sure the box never got explained, but like Scotty said "it's the pieces put together" which honestly made the original 4 game's story so much cooler. It didn't end with defined answers it ended with the confirmation that all the elements WERE put in place, but it wasn't the player's answers to have. The secrets in the box never being revealed wasn't just because of scot changing what was in it but in the context of lore:the box was meant for someone other than us. A character like Michael. While that's certainly a possible explanation, Michael wasn't fleshed out 'til SL so maybe the pieces put together in the box were what everyone hated at the time. What was in the box was... *The realization that everything experienced in the games up to then really was all a dream* Dream theory was hated by everyone but no doubt that's what Scot intended. The pieces were bits of memory and imagination, nightmarish thoughts and dreams all from a scared child who, while lying comatose In a hospital bed, fought for his fucking life against corrupted visages of the "family friendly" robots he wished his daddy and his daddy's business partner and friend didn't create. Purple Guy in the original continuity never existed. It was simply the evil representation of the boy's father in his dying mind. The boy blamed him for his death, resentment because papa was too busy to keep his kids under control. Misplaced anger. Today the child's death created Purple Guy. Back then it was similar, but instead of death causing PG to downward spiral. *it was the boy in his downward spiral of life creating a villain of dad in his critical state* Boom. The old lore WAS less complex, the OLD lore with dream theory WAS correct. Bit that ending wasn't satisfying enough

[@aubergineman3205]

Sorry for that tangent. I just love FNAF

[@nuttynutsnutstache]

​@@aubergineman3205 Yeah, people didn't like the idea of it being a dream because that's so fucking overused and lame. "It was all a dream" feels like the creator ran out of ideas for plot twists.

Isn't commenting on petty fandom drama kind of less impactful than taking the source text seriously? If anything, wouldn't this reading play into the fandom drama, rather than appreciating the source text? Like that interpretation says it's bad to do? If winging about the community being bad for the community is the point of the interpretation, and by extension what the art is about, then wouldn't the art be entirely self defeating?

I mean, what else is the series about? Lol not all the songs will be meta about the community.

[@ninkepie3764]

Idk what you mean "just the same". If they're making songs about the fnaf lore, the meaning behind the song is gonna be about fnaf lore. For example: "we wanna kill you" and "tortured souls". And a lot more.

[@bigboiinanut9967]

Thats where the living tombstone really pulled through, the first fnaf song WAS kind of the same "tortured souls" but still an absolute banger, but then "it's been so long" Came out, and that one was just amazing as well, and told a story from a different perspective that no one ever thinks about. This song is, however, now my absolute favorite, the fnaf 1 being second to this one.

As someone who calls This Comes From Inside my favorite FNAF song, this video really helps explain what I love about it. Great work!

[@miyakiespenido6355]

You're right Tyler, this is my explanation for the main lyrics of the song. At first, it was all about the game itself, but then the lyric, "When we share so much wisdom?" appeared, to me it meant about "The good old days" as some would say, and that was the truth, FNaF's fandom in its building popularity, was known to be one of the most respected community, as we also respected others, agreeing or sharing some other opinions to people... but that all went away, when l think FNaF 5 came out, every single Reddit community was bantering some of the most prominent figures and amazing people of FNaF at the time, more importantly Scott, he was pushed with death threats all around, giving hatred and many negative responses to Scott, tearing everything that has been put into effort, our childhoods, and it even lost the inspiration of others, just because of the now toxic waste of the fandom, then the lyric, "But you set fire to the Kingdom, burn it all until it melts,", this is the prime example of what again was happening at the time, the community was thriving like a kind kingdom, as it should have stayed to be, but it all burned down because of arsonists, or in this case the toxic members, it spread like wildfire, affecting those who stayed with the community, even at the darkest and most controversial times, the ash was now the deleted messages from people, who had beautiful, creative and amazing ideas, but was taken down because of the hate, showing how we're tearing each other apart, the lyrics focuses on the game again, and the lyric, "Long time ago, it was all for a show," made me feel quite nostalgic, as the voice for Freddy was the same with the singing voice, in FNaF 1's song, but yes long time ago (9 years ago) it was just a simple concept, turned into indie horror, no hate, just pure terror and happiness, from the ones who have played it, and of course, it wasn't liked by every single one, because everything put out in the world, whether it be a statement or a game like this, it will always never be perfect, people will still find something about a topic not suited for them, "Fill our wounds, with a pound of salt" this was the community, trying to fix everything, and it did slowly recover, but infection came, or in this scenario, the posts of more hate became like a never-ending water supply, "And your reason to justify" was the question most ask to toxic fans, the ones saying "This is all Scott's fault, the game needs to be justified" but at what cost? being followed by "Now this is your fault" people blaming Scott, was saying that he failed to create a fandom who supports one another, he failed in keeping the now decaying community safe and united, "Everything is a problem" is a saying most would state, as truly everything is a problem, to fans, to games, and to dedicated creators, just because of a word, "Hatred" and also the lyric, "There was a poison in the air," meaning that the toxicity has gotten so out-of-hand that people who loved the fandom left, always just hating on what's to come next, as the replacement of leaving a place, because of its gaseous air, "Despair, ls an eternal blight" this refers to the despair, and losing of hope by others, a hope that still... maybe the community could revert back to normal, no harsh arguments, just simple and respectful statements, but the blight had already taken affect, as more and more figures and members, left the community, the damage was done, there was no way that it could still be fixed, its all our fault, "You're losing it all" the community had even more members, who don't want to be affiliated with FNaF anymore, this phrase was used to Scott, about how he once made a fandom for Five Night's at Freddy's, but everything he had worked for, was all gone, in just a matter of days and weeks... and the ones reminiscing about the past, is just hit with "You've been blinded by stardom" even solidifying the fact of how we went, form one of the most creative and respectful Fandoms, to one of the absolute worst, being contained by hateful members, But one last reminder, "You're mine!" being that even if we damage FNaF, as many times or as toxic we can get, the fandom still can be filled with great and creative people, last but not the least, "Now this comes from inside, and stays there until you die!" FNaF being always there to entertain, and also remind us, of the great past that we have, enough to have an impact, that can still stay in our hearts, no matter how much damage we do, and l am grateful for this masterpiece, brought to us.

[@TheWitchThatLikesSandwiches]

I agree with everything said in this video. It really does feel like an almost bittersweet message to the franchise about how the Fandom has changed over the years. I felt a sense of nostalgia while watching it. Plus, I'm honestly a big fan of the robotic, almost ethereal vocals. Also, OH MY GOD, THE VISUALS ARE STUNNING! Even if the song was just subpar, I'd still watch the video over and over again because the animation is beautiful

[@bigboiinanut9967]

This song doesn't seem subpar like some of the fnaf fans seem to think, but that might just be me, because I love all kinds of music and types of songs, and this one hit just right.

[@stewpidlawyer]

I was 14 back when FNaF 1 came out, and now I'm 23. It's like the decline of the franchise marks my own youth fading away, bit by bit. The community is now ~10 years younger than me, and it's nothing like what it once was. It's no longer my community. That's why this song is so bittersweet to me, a reminder that everything changes, and everything, ultimately, comes to an end. Still, I come back to FNaF whenever life seems especially tough. I watch old or new playthroughs, draw fanart, laugh at memes. And it never fails to give me some kind of peace of mind. It's a piece of childhood that's always with me, and for this, I'm grateful.

[@KaneyoriHK]

The message overall of the song, feels like a very personal thing, especially to those who were part of the original fnaf generation, though young at the time, I am still part of that Old Fnaf Generation. It feels pretty saddening overall, time marched on, and i always felt that the way the chorus is sung, how long do we have to try, not only out of frustration, but out of a feeling of passage. How long do we have, that's what it feels like too. How long do we have to try, because we may be running out of time. But we aren't going to let it fade away, and it'll really be here until I die, it will always be part of me. I generally agree with everything said in the vid.

[@mufeet]

Completely agree. I don’t use Twitter sanctimoniously so I had no idea people didn’t like the song, but from what I saw at least in the KZbin comments and videos, people seemed to love it, so was surprised to hear it. I guess I can understand a bit- it’s not like any of the previous FNF songs. The others were upbeat, loud, crazy and sporadic, but this song was a lot more mellow- as it should be! This song means so much with so little, and it’s incredible something so beautiful was made by someone who means so much. TLT, he’s owed a lot of his success to FNaF, so to see him delivering this song means so much more yknow. I also was incredibly confused by the songs lyrics when first listening but soon read inbetween the lines. I don’t completely share the same thoughts as you as I believe the song is to Scott Cawthon more then it is the fandom. With lyrics like “You set fire to the kingdom (FNaF)”, “Why feel so alone when we share so much wisdom (Feels like the “Why feel so alone” is address to Scott and “we” is the fans), and on the chorus it’s just chock full of it. “Long time ago..for a show..”(As you said how the game was just a man making a game to say screw you to people who hated Chipper and Sons), “fill our wounds with a pound of salt..”(Scott doing the things he did hurting the fandom), “lock us inside a vault”(locking the FNaF characters, aka not making more games by him cause he left) “this is your fault”;”blinded by stardom”(again it’s cause of what he did) I could go on!! So yea! I think it’s more a message to Scott, but the funny thing about interpretation is everyone has their own, so I can respect yours. Thank u for making a video on this amazing song!

[@ItsMinnowSeason]

Honestly I don't really know much abt what Scott could've possibly done bc all I know is that people were mad abt were him supporting one person that wasnt pro-lgbt once after all these years- Scott made it clear he was very much supportive and loving to the LGBTQIA+ community, supporting and donating whenever/whatever he could, so much more than just the one donation he made to support whoever tf political person. He had always started out just making fnaf games every year, so its not like he was just pushing things out just for attention- it was how he made them, he wanted to expand n such with what he made and was happy he had a fanbase to do it. I dont have Twitter though so I don't know whatever other controversies Scott faced, though usually big controversies usually make it to KZbin so idk. Scott isn't at fault for leaving so i doubt LTS would be making a song judging that decision, his kingdom turned on him and tried to burn down every part of it, trying/saying they wanted to kill the king and queen & their children. Who would stay for a community like that? Especially if it was abundant enough to make it an issue at all after all his time making the games. I dont think he wasn't blinded by stardom, but people were blinded by his and forgot he was a human being, forgot all he's tried to do for the fans who've supported him, the fans he raised. I doubt anyone would stick around when people start threatening to hurt a pregnant woman just because they don't like them, attempting to doxx and harass overall is too much for anyone to handle. I may not see a reply to this btw, bc I have my comment notifs off eheh- though feel free to send an informal message response!!

Honestly… Twitter is more like a different species of people lol… it’s like a warzone in there… unlike the other social media platforms… maybe.. wait… I forgot that Reddit exists lol

[@lwkta]

To me, I thought it was a message to scott himself. " long time ago it was all for a show fill our wounds with a pound of salt." to me, this is refrfencing the fact that fnaf was just supposed to be a one time game, just for scott to prove that he could make something scary, and at the time to know that fnaf was just gonna be one game, it hurt. But then scott made fnaf 2, then 3, and then so on and so forth. But then, Scott left the community, filling our wounds with a pound of salt. then, the next line " your reason to justify" seems to be refrencing how scott could've easily just denied the accusations and kept making the games, but instead tried to "justify" his actions. "Locked us inside a vault" means how hes leaving the series to Steel Wool, and vaults are often made of steel. " Now this is your fault. Everything is a problem" Refrences how everything is security breach is glitchy and doesn't make any sense lore wise. "There was a poison in the air" refrers to twitter and how the community started getting pissed at him. "You're losing it all. You've been blinded by stardom" Scott lost control over the series after leaving, and i see the line blinded by stardom being a sort of way to say that Scott became entiled and felt like he was forced to defend himself, instead of just ignoring it all. "You think that you're alone, but we are waiting for you every night" This line talks about how that, even though scott thinks that his community still hates him, we still want him back. " You're mine" Scott is our childhood. Hes our hero. Hes ours.

I dont fully know why he chose to give money the people he did, but at the end of the day thats not even my business. and as someone who's lost friendships because they got mad i didnt vote for the people they wanted me to vote for (even after explaining i might not even vote for anyone at all because i thought noone was fit for thier respective positions) or not supporting certain social movements and cut ties with me (or the few that didt talk to me for a few months), it made me apreciate his response to all that drama even more (especially with him accepting cancellation if it came to it, instead of some typical "apology" like so many others have made). perhaps if he had done some things different (put his viewpoints into the FNAF games, saying certain things on social media, etc), i would get a negative vibe about him from that situation. but i dont. if anything, I'm mad at the people who decided to spotlight his donation history. I while im of the belief that just because you donate to good causes doesn't mean you are a good person (referencing his various donations to the Trevor Project before 2021), the whole Summer 2021 situation just felt off to me. god i wish people werent so black and white with stuff. the world's too complicated - and messed up- and people are too petty for that kind of thinking to be prominent.

[@pluffering6661]

Okay, two things! I don't understand how someone could ever think this song sounds bad! It's GORGEOUS! I dunno, maybe it's the fact that, compared to other FNaF songs, it's really different. It's a slower tempo, and not as intense. So maybe that's it? HOLY COW, I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING! This Comes From Inside is so different compared to almost all other FNaF songs, kinda like how SB was so different from the other games! I don't know if that was the intention, but it's cool! The second thing is that I don't think that it is SB that made the fandom what it is now. What makes the fandom so uninhabitable is the fact that it's no longer a place where people can just share their art and music and writings about FNaF. The community does not seem to focus on those aspects of the fandom. Only the controversies. And because of that, it has become a much harsher, more judgmental community. And it doesn't help that SB was such a different game. A lot of people tend to dislike, or be put off by things that are different from the original. And all this combined made it very easy for the larger community to shame each other or fight about differing opinions, whereas before, the community as a whole didn't seem to care all that much. Hah, can you believe that that entire paragraph is the condensed version of all my thoughts. I don't think I explained them too well either, but it doesn't matter that much. I personally like SB. It's not the best game. It's glitchy and I'm not a big fan of the lore. But, I really, really like the new animatronics, and the game as a whole is really fun.

[@bigboiinanut9967]

I love how different this song is, it just has a really good vibe. The first time I heard this song was actually on a video of a horror fan reacting to the fnaf songs by the living tombstone, and before I heard it, I saw a comment stating that not a lot of people liked it, but when I heard it I immediately fell in love. And yeah, SB isn't my favorite out of the whole franchise, but the more I see of it, the more I kind of accept it, but I was always a fan of the creepy vibe fnaf gave off, and SB didn't have that, which is probably why I wasn't as in love with it.

[@mummyiluobe5274]

Fnaf 4 started to differ from the rest of the games because it was et in a new place (a bedroom) but it still followed the same line as the other ig if yk what I mean. But then when it came to fnaf 5 things were different because you weren't in one room, you could travel to different areas. Then fnaf 6 became to transfer back to it's origins. Once fnaf SB came out, everything was different and less scary. I remember watching a youtuber playing this and their first reaction was "it's so bright and vibrant, it can't be that scary" but they still got scared by it. Despite the changes happening to Fnaf, it' still Fnaf and we should love and accept that 💜.

Honestly, I've been with fnaf since the first game back in primary school (I'm in the UK) and now I'm in college, and yes the community has absolutely became a shithole compared to how it used to be, but the games themselves, I have loved each and every game, and I think a lot of people in this community have just gotten higher and higher expectations, hardly even enjoying the games anymore but still gatekeeping everything. Anyways the point is though, throughout my entire time in this community (From 8 years old to now 18) I have always seen so many absolutely brilliant people in this community, displaying beautiful talents and skills, so I think no matter how toxic this community has became, we should all be so proud and happy to be a part of this :)

Although looking at the community and how alot of them feel, it looks like it'll be a 50/50 on how people accept it. They'll either respect SB or they'll still deem it an "unacceptable" mess. Illumix if they were to one day actually let their fans know that they would leave fnaf ar instead of just abandoning it would maybe work. Or they could've actually tried to fix it instead of fucking up and just giving up after one mistake, that being making it a long ass grinding game that encourages you to spend. Jonochrome can correct his mistake by seeking support to help ensure that he doesn't ever do what he did again. And us, the community, we should know way better than to attack one another over a silly bear game. Yes, Scott didn't donate responsibly but that was because he wasn't careful. Now, he wants to be mindful and aware of where it goes. I get it, SB has so many problems but that doesn't mean one isn't allowed to have a different opinion. Even some of the games biggest haters like Phil and th3badd3st respect the fact that there are people that like it. Stating your opinion as a fact is like stating that my depression can't be cured, it's one of the falsest claims that can be made. This franchise is ours to love and care about, even if one dislikes the new, they still love the old, which shouldn't take away any of that passion you have. This community is in our hands now. Its fallen into madness now, and if we don’t stop, it will crumble to its last fan. But we can rebuild, we can make the community a great place again, but i guess unfortunately, that's just twitter for yall.

There's always gonna be bad fans of every media. Nothing you can do about it. We should never give the bad ones any attention or fuel the fires. There may have been stuff that happened but that shouldn't stop you from loving, creating or being 8nspired by making something for FNAF or something similar to it. I am in the fnf community and It may also have bad people in it especially the Tumblr refugees on twitter, I don't let the bad side of the fandom ruin my love for it's source material, neither should you. We shouldn't doom and gloom And be black pilled over the FNAF fandom like it's doomsday. Instead move forward and make, be inspired and love the things that make you happy in that fandom and the good stuff it gave to it.

I would say it's a very good song and I do like the message that yeah this fandom is broken ever since that terrible well we don't like to say it it's name event happened all way in 2020 just was what it was everyone tried to justify everyone tried to make it not exist but it was plain and simple certain guy made a mistake that cost him his reputation we love the guy he's not a bad person but he made a mistake it was salt on the wound of a franchise that started hurting itself there I said it guys I like the Creator but yeah he made a stupid mistake and I could admit it he may be a good person he probably is but what he did was wrong people should have criticized it instead of shushing out all the criticism and making it act like it was nothing heck I was at fault on this I was a part of the crowd that just the critics who were rightfully mad about it but also the song about how the fandom just collapsed but there's still hope to fix it there's still light at the end of the tunnel we can fix it and go back to what we once were a great fandom. the song is a great song it did everything right it did everything that we all wanted a song that brought us together for one day to have a criticism enjoyment love for that one day and I cannot give the living tombstones any more respect than that thank you living tombstone for bringing the fandom together in peace for one day.

[@Nova-Star-01]

one theory i've had is that the lyrics " There was a pre-existing dictum, programmed to do nothing else!" means that there was a perfect type of gameplay in fnaf 1-4, but it got changed and basically ignored in the newer games of course, fnaf vr did bring back fnaf 1-4 (kinda), but it just doesn't feel like what it use to be

[@sheeptaro2108]

I think that’s a good interpretation of the song. I think it’s special to have a community like we do because yeah, as you said, we have a lot of bad stuff in it and the franchise itself isn’t doing so well, either, quality-wise, but it’s still our own and fairly strong. I feel that no matter what happens, the community will probably keep this franchise alive, at least for a while. Personally, I really do like FNAF, subjectively, and genuinely want to see how everything goes from here. There’s the DLC coming out and, hey, the movie seems like it will actually become a thing within the next few years.

[@divine-s]

FNAF is an amazing game. And also, a masterpiece. Even though this community has had its problems, we still pulled through them. Sure, there’s still toxicity and drama, but we want to remember and know the good parts of things. FNAF has had a huge impact on all of us and definitely made our childhoods. From the many games, to the on-going lore. To the merch, and to the awesome creators out there. And, to the memories we’ve made along the way. Thank you Scott. For creating such an amazing game.

[@somi6774]

I'm so happy someone sees the song the same as me, the metaphors and lyrics are amazing and the animation is sooooooo good :). Also thought I'd add, I thought about the lyric "Long time ago it was all for a show" might also symbolise how fnaf was simple yet effective, it was very effective because of the simple yet mysterious lore and if course the "uncanny Valley" effect of the animatronics. In Security Breach it is very apparent that it was aimed at a younger audience because of the popularity of fnaf among younger people. That's something the previous fnaf games just didn't have to care about and I feel like that makes them special (don't get me wrong I like Security Breach too but you can see the more childish direction of the series and the Lore might be getting a bit too "mysterious" for its own good, still, love the franchise and song to death and can't wait to see what's next!)

[@ThatGuyErazo]

It’s just horrible how much the fandom has changed. It used to be a pretty chill fanbase (to my knowledge), now it’s just a cesspool of hate, toxicity, gatekeeping, blaming, and much more. It sucks.

[@AT_RAGE]

I left the community when I reached high school back in 2016, I felt which way the fandom was going and I didn't want to be part of the toxicity. The community turning on Scott was just the proof that this entity had gotten away from everyone. It is true that this happens to basically every internet fandom. Gatekeepers, Head cannoners, etc. they all play a part in destroying things... from the inside. I'm glad I grew up on FNAF, it truely was a oddly wholesome community when it first started and everyone still didn't know anything. To go back to those times.

[@lucydraws1237]

I know I will forever remember Fnaf not for the toxic fandom that we have become but that no matter what has happens rather when it finally fades away or I die before it’s ending it will always be an escape into a world where fantasy and fun come to life. ❤ Thank you Fnaf and for Scott for creating such a game with long lasting impact on my life. Even if you don’t see this thank you. ❤

[@redheadedbandet]

Listening to this song and understanding it’s message, I don’t think I miss “the old fnaf”, I really miss the old fnaf COMMUNITY. The nostalgia (for me personally) means those old times never left, they’re still a part of me, which is why the lyrics “you think you’re alone but we are waiting for you every night” hits so hard. I miss when theories were more often just for the fun of it, and even the parts that still were toxic weren’t the majority and could just be ignored. I miss when everyone was able to enjoy it together instead of everyone making their own “perfect” version of the games/story and what was “good” music for it. I don’t even feel comfortable talking about it with other fans anymore because it’s so individualized now it’s doesn’t feel like fandom anymore. It DOES feel like a lot of us are alone but we don’t HAVE to be.

[@TsukasaTenmaOFFICIAL]

Whenever I hear this song it makes me feel so emotional. I only joined the FNAF fandom a month ago, yet I feel like I've been here for years. The middle part of the song is indeed genius, as it talks about how the Franchise have been blinded by becoming famous, and they try to make their games more kid-friendly so that they can earn more fans, which means more money. I personally really enjoy Security Breach, as its a big turn from all the other games and you get to experience something new. I do understand how old fans see Security Breach as a mistake though, as they've been in the franchise way longer than I have.

[@Oceane1803]

I must admit, I haven't grown with the series that much, but seeing the original Freddy, it made me feel something.

I might not be as smart to know and understand all the representation of the song, but I just appreciate the sound of the song.

[@oddotaku3621]

IDK why anyone would say it doesn't sound good, this is quite literally the best sounding fnaf song I have ever heard.

[@soirema]

1:40 I think its more of a vibe...then sound. Fnaf songs go usually creepy, violent, techno, rap route. This comes from inside is sad electro pop lol. Which kinda clashes with "fun" 80s aesthetic for my taste, total insuciruty seems more coherent in that aspect

[@skrbblr2370]

I like how you mentioned the middle segment seems to use the same singing voice from the very first FNAF TLT song. I immediately noticed that too since I've listened to that first song way too many times lmao. Also another thing I noticed, during that whole segment, the lyrics are actually using the exact same font as the lyrics from the FNAF 1 music video. That same pixelated minecraft-esque font. Now that HAS to be intentional. I'll admit, this song isn't really my favourite FNAF song or anything, but that segment as well as the (theorized) message of the song itself definitely hit me especially as a long-time fan of this series ever since the second game. Gosh I love this series till now.. I don't know how long I'll be a fan of it for, nor do I know what the future holds for it, but regardless, I still feel like I'll stick around to see what happens next.

This isn’t how I saw it the first time I listened to it, this video really helped me understand the song more. And love it more. I think we can all agree that the past of this community was almost perfect, and it isn’t now. But this song just perfectly shows that we can’t keep our minds in the past.

[@PlayerUzU]

The themes and meanings in the song are great, if not the best in all of fnaf songs i heard, but the song itself, it's not the best to be honest (not the worst either), the thing that made me not like this one as much is the comparison with the others the living tombstone songs, they have good themes and good songs on top of that, so we know that they could have done better. It's a good song overall but not something i would linten lots of time.

[@pilotman463]

I love this song so much and I do think it tackles everything you said about the community though I wanna add one more thing about the creator Scott didnt do anything intentionally to harm anyone and he didnt want to either but he did and at first I didn't think this song would be about that until I read why they made the song and where the money is going to. (Also just wanna add how weird it is knowing this series takes place in the same area that I live in, my childhood, so nostalgia hurts

[@gxngxbdu]

In my opinion, fnaf really changed with Sister Location. But not for the better. Specifically, the lore. Sister Location threw a massive wrench into the lore, making a story about a killer killing kids and those kids' spirits wanting revenge into, well, beating a dead horse. They overused their villain making him travel through fucking circuit boards to "infect" others. The lore has gotten so comical that I can't take it seriously anymore. It's turning into white noise for me. I see Game Theory titles that just scream "what the fuck." "Golden Freddy never existed" is a prime example. Tell that to someone in 2014 (I know Mat Pat doesn't write the lore he just tries to piece it together, but it's still a joke).

[@CompletelyNewguy]

okay I just want to say I love the part of the music video at 4:34 It just feels so good, the way Freddy and Bonnie look at each other like friends, chica being ditzy, and foxy falling over. It makes the original four feel like a merry band that wasn't evil until shit hit the fan. Not to mention the lighting and colors are just so awesome to look at.

I played ucn on my dad laptop in 2019 but I haven't played any others lik the fan games, fnaf world, or fnaf SB. This community is or has to be the worlds best community! Sure people won't agree on the new settings of the game but after they get used to it, they will eventually like it.

The fnaf toxicity really shows how stupid and terminally online some humans are. I dont blame scott for walking away from all this crap, because the guy is a once in a life time dev who pours his heart into his work, very active with the community, LISTENS to the community, but THIS is how they treat him🤦🏽‍♂️

I think just music wise the song is not bad but it’s just not as unbelievably good as the rest of the songs. I genuinely think every FNAF song by The Living Tombstone is one of the 300 best songs ever made except for the Security Breach Song. It’s nothing close to be quite honest

[@madchick1972]

FNAF was that 1 indie horror game that Markiplier brought lots of people to be apart of in a community it got so popular that more KZbinrs got popular for it and also loved it so Scott made a sequels books knock-offs(basically fnaf world)and even a film being a made it used to be a good community but then like what you said nobody could have opinions anymore and for me and probably lots of ppl want the old fnaf community back just watching Dawko’s FNaF 3 theories from the fnaf 3 teasers or DAgames’ Left Behind song or Marks famous bite of 87 scene but it’s just argue over a single opinion about saying that you don’t like sister location and that’s an example of Uhyeahs sister locations video and the comment section on that video is just disrespectful and I can’t do anything about it apart from him removing the comments or the person who commented it but what I’m trying to say is that FNAF is not treated like it used to be like if you like FNAF ar you are ____ and Phisnom I heard a situation about him on Twitter of him arguing with Dawko and uh it’s just I hate the fnaf community now oH fAnArT oF tOy ChIcA sExY that no just no
