Here you go! G I spend most of my time waiting Em G Since I’m trapped within this cage G I can only choose my victim Em G When I’m put upon display C Cm G Like you. Like me. Like me. G I could cut off your lifeline Em G And not a single thing would change G Very few would ever wonder Em G If there was anything strange C Cm G About you. About me. About me. (G B C)x2 Em G D C Cm G (Guitar Interlude) G They are too busy running away Em G They won’t notice a thing G And you keep asking me questions Em G So I am asking you to scream C Cm Now I’m you. Now I’m me. D And your heart may break D As you fade away D And I take your place D With a stranger’s face C Cm But I’m you. But I’m me. Em G And I am a mockery of your memory C Eb Made reality made free Em G I am me. A B And you are nothing, Em G But a foolish girl in a wretched world C Eb Fighting forces you can’t see Em G Now you see me. A B G Now you are nothing. Em (Quiet ooh) Follow verse chord progression (Instrumental of verse) B-C Aggressive Cm Oooh. I’m-

That’s in essence of what the NotThem is about mocking the confusion of those that can see through it Overwriting their memory with a false face like it’s nothing and leaving nothing but a scant trace

I like how this song is pretty laid-back, given Not-Them is a rather laid-back/lazy monster in itself. Less about directly copying and more about using its powers to trick people.

I love how this says "spoilers" but I still don't know what the hell is going on. If you take away the visuals this could be a normal indie song

@blueweirdness4023 3 жыл бұрын

The Not Them's constant repetition of "I am Me," and "Now I'm You, was used in a really interesting way. They keep saying "I'm you," but they seem to refuse to reciprocate, saying instead "Now you're nothing." Really fits into the whole theme of the Stranger and how they prey on the fear of the things we love being taken away and everything (including ourselves and our identities) being rendered meaningless. The fear that maybe it never meant much in the first place. (I don't really believe that, of course, but I think it's a scary concept all the same.) Kind of reminds me of Goner Kid from Undertale. Anyways this song is really great and haunting. :D

Hecking. Wow. Just wow. I love this so much! This is an amazing perspective song, and it gives me the feels for Sasha all over again, and now I need to go cry in a corner. And like, the color contrast of red for Sasha and blue for the NotThem was perfect, Sasha felt warm and real and the NotThem felt cold and false, and like, the layout of the lyrics, the typography, and the lyrics themselves are fantastic! I literally got chills at 0:32. Just. Amazing. You are amazing and thank you for sharing this with the world, I'm going to go listen to this on repeat for the next hour or so.

I think you do some really awesome songwriting, to me it sounds very 90s alt-rock in a way that I really like. Reminds me of the fairly obscure but band called Lampshade, or the much more known The Gathering in their catchier uptempo-moments. Might we possibly hope for a full length TMA-themed album by you some day?
