Lyrics: You, you gave all of the signs Don’t know why I let you in my life Now you’re bleeding me dry No regard for my time So cut me off once and I’ll try, try again Piss me off twice, I’d still call you my friend Set me on fire three times and I’m done ‘Cause you lit the fuse and you loaded the gun So leave me be It’s hard to imagine that you ever gave a shit About me When you only kept me around just to make you look good Yea, I made you look good Reality’s cruel Oh, I was the fool Used as your tool I, I finally realize Took me too long to figure it out Now I’ll hang you to dry You only used me for clout So I’ll cut you off once, you say try, try again I’m ghosting you twice you still claim I’m your friend You set me on fire three times now I’m done ‘Cause you lit the fuse and you loaded the gun You say it’s not fair Like I treat you so awful and I should do better As if I care When you only kept me around just to make you look good Yea, I made you look good Reality’s cruel Oh, I was the fool Used as your tool I’m done with your lies and I’m done with your games So cry all about it and I’ll take the blame You force those around you to live by your rules You use and abuse us like we’re all your tools So go away Just leave me to my own devices and I will be on my way ‘Cause you only kept me around just to make you look good Yea, I made you look good Reality’s cruel Oh, I was the fool Used as your tool

The Archivist's work will finally become public, and the rawness of human emotion will be spread wide, documented in one person's music.

This song was such a banger the first time I heard it ❤❤ this is so cool dude

I adore this new song. It’s so abundantly filled with pure power, while still being loaded with sophistication and menace. It really feels like someone’s had enough with someone, and are about to commit a truly heinous act.

This songgg is sooo amazinggg!! Thank you for inviting me to do the MV as well, it was such an honor!!

To the people waiting for the yt premier, the song was uploaded to Spotify yesterday. Did not expect the small swear but the song was incredible.

This Archive was amazing! It looks amazing, sounds amazing, the lyrics are completely true the raw emotions! I especially enjoyed the ‘i made you look good’ because I relate to this way too much! Toxic people only use us as tools but we have to overcome that on our own! Great song by the way! ❤❤❤

I just realized the toxic relationship I was in wasn’t my fault. Immediately after, my friend sent me this. Been on repeat for hours.

I love how passive aggressive this is. I love the piano and guitar they don't clash but work really well. Also the emotion was raw anger and I love it. I truly felt this deep down

this hit especially hard for me, not only because this is FIRE, but I’ve had some problems recently. ill leave it at that bc I’m not here to vent but I just wanna say amazing job, and I’m looking forward for all the archivist has in store!!

Great job. I don't know why, but for me it seems like "Why", but aggressive... This song LITERALLY is an archive of anger. It also reminds me about one who was my friend, but nevermind... Keep up working on this project, Derivakat. Love you and all of your songs ✨

This song GENUINELY could not have came out at a better time. This song hit a little too hard. Amazing work as always!

Never thought that I would find a song that describes something that has happened to me. It honestly describes the emotions I felt perfectly. It's an amazing song.

OMG I'll be listening this on loop for at least the next couple months Derivakat, you're so unbelvieable incredible my god, I'm so grateful to be able to listen your songs, it's amazing :O

Amazing, 5-5 stars, would recommend it! Everytime you make a song it gets stuck in my head for ages. My favorite is 4am because that's how I discovered you. Keep being amazing.

This goes so hard, I have been listening to it on repeat for the last 30 mins. The pure emotional response that this gives really helps me get trapped in the music and feel sympathy for the protagonist.

Love the connection between this song and Cycle, moreso specifically the line “hang you to dry” and “hang it all on me” and I think that’s awesome lyrical work

Holy, I swear it's so exciting to see a new Derivakat song, "when you only kept me around, just to make you look goooood, yeah I made you look gooood" god I love that lyric, pop off Derivakat

?: How many bangers have you produced in a row so far? Derivakat: Yes.

I actually relate to this song rn. I realized my clique was just using me as a kind of tool all along when one of my true friends told me the others were planning to kick me out.

OMGG I LISTENED ON SPOTIFY AND IT IS SUCH A BANGER!!

The vocals, the visuals, the rhythm, the lyrics, all amazing

Your music never fails to give me chills. The lyrics, the melody, the singing, the music video, and the emotions are amazing! Thanks for another banging song ❤ Edit: Mistype 😅

This song near perfectly captures the dynamic I've had with my ex-best friend. Which means that the Archivist is very good at documenting human emotion *and* making it a banger! Amazing song!

I love this. First time I've ever heard it, and I immediately fell inlove at 0:54 - 1:00 I have a(n unfinished) poem sitting in my google docs drive that I've somewhat forgotten about and this song made me remember This song reminds me of a certain person in my life, and while I don't particularly relate to every single lyric, it still applies to others who have been associated with the same person, so I was practically grinning like a madman despite the vibe of the song Well done, Derivakat, you've truly outdone yourself once again!

How the hell does this only have 200k views a full two months later!? It's incredible! It's honestly painful going back and seeing the views on Kat's originals vs DSMP inspired songs. Kat deserved more recognition for her other music.

Are you alright?

the visuals of this song perfectly represent anger 10/10

I mean you certainly captured anger in musical form with this song alone.

Song is a banger as always; and the animation & editing is one of the best I've seen in a video not gonna lie, godamn 10/10 to Wolfy, Yuki, Alan, BlueDrak, and Derivakat of course

the irony of this is that the speaker, trying to distance herself from the friend, is doing exactly what she hated about the other person in the first place - “piss me off twice I’d still call you my friend” to “ghosting you twice you still claim I’m your friend” is an example. great song!

Gotta say this sounds even better after two people you’ve known for over half your life completely break your trust and cut you off from your friend group and act like nothing happened!

AAAAH, I'M SO EXCITED, I'M SURE THIS IS GONNA BE SUCH A BANGER

Petition for Derivakat to make songs for QSMP:

1:14 I may be overthinking this but could this image have been foreshadowing Cycle?

AYO LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO super excited for this one hehehe

I love songs about bitterness I think this one is by far the best

This might be my favourite song you've ever done. This slapped so hard! And the random swear in the middle caught me off guard and I LOVE IT. Also, the lyricism goes SOOOO hard

love it! such a nice attitude in each word, the lyrics are perfect and the beats are fitting just as good!

The Moment I saw this was upcoming, I legit did the math to see when it be out so I could jam to it on my way home from walmart 😂😂

The vibes i get from this is basically : ,,Your free trial of life has expired"

Can we just appreciate the simplicity of this masterpiece of a MV? I've only been in animation for a little but one thing I've learned is the importance of not getting too ambitious and it's done perfectly here. TL/DR: This song is an amazing vibe

Not only song is good, visuals are amazing

Why is this SO RELATABLE!??!?!?!?

send this to your bully to sing at school talent show to show the feelings

This sounds like a song a Disney villain would sing.

Can this song plz stop taking over my life I have literally listened to at least 3 time every day since it came out

CAN'T WAIT!!! After premiere: AAAAAAA I LOVE IT I LOVE IT AS ALWAYS I LOVE IT

I was just talking about how my friend was using me and my other friends as a tool yesterday and this fire of a song just came out. It could not have come at a better time. Also, it's only fitting the recommended songs are REVIVED and Nightmare.

I’ve been going through something recently, and this REALLY connected and I love it

I think this is maybe one of, if not my favourite of your songs! It's absolutely amazing.

You know it’s a good day when Derivakat come out with a new song ❤

The visuals really do add to the song

STOPPPPPPPPPPPP THIS IS AMAZING!! the lyrics are so true i love your work and hope u get all the fame you deserve

I absolutely love the animation bits omgg

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Can't way, know this is gonna be EPIC

another banger, and the visuals are amazing! you and the team did a great job on this one!

comparing her old songs like blue and this, derivakat has gone a long way, and i love both her new and old songs

Hey Derivakat! I have a question: would you mind if I use some of your songs in my musical book/game series? Also would you be okay with it being monetized as long as I give proper credit? I would greatly appreciate it, as this series will also be my debut as an artist, and I would gladly give you a free copy of each book and game entry as thanks!

This song hits me hard, I had a best friend who used me to make herself look good and she got connections through me with people you can't easily talk to. She started lying and betray me, watching our shows with other friends and leaving me alone when we said we wanted to meet up. I started talking about it and everyone got angry at me, even my ex-boyfriend was on her side. At some point this completely destroyed my mental health and sleep, I had nightmares of betrayal every fucking day and im still scared (It's starting to get less but I still have these dreams) At that moment I knew that this friendship of 5 years was over. (I blocked them all and left the group 2021 and yet i am still hurt) Thank you for this amazing song derivakat

aaaaaa this song is so good I've been listening to it on loop, I am definitely gonna add this to my playlist

this is amazing!! I can’t wait to see what else is to come!! I wish you all the success you deserve!!

Incredible!! Looking forward to the the next songs, and loving the Archivist theme!!

I sang this in my school talent show, with costume and all, really, with make-up even. And well, it went so damn good, thanks for this impressive and good song

Your songs lately have been hitting different and I’m here for it

HOLY CRICKET ARCHIVIST’S WORK HITTING OFF STRONG 😱🤩

Of course anger would be the first, it conveys such intense emotions, yet is so subtly complicated. The Archivist may have no been personally in this relationship, but the emotions it destruction wrought upon the abused is perfect material.

This movie looks amazing and the editing and animation is so cool!

BANGER AS ALWAYS I come and I go a lot with your channel, but you always make such badass songs it leads me back to you. Thank you for another awesome song Kat! ❤ Literally, I swear all your songs are mashups of each other. REVIVED mindset + Nightmare MV + Syndicate lull + Voices bg music = this piece of art by the Archivist!

This song is too damn relatable to those who went through with being used by others and making them look good as they would make you look like the bad guy.

I can't believe how much this song is relating to so much of what I'm going through rn

I wish this had more views, because this is amazing

this song somehow fit PERFECTLY to this one girl in my class, we used to be friends but now i hate her. she is just looking for attention, she even fakes that she can't breath just so people care about her, and used me since everybody likes me since i don't do anything wrong, i follow the rules and never got in troubel ,im the angel of the school ,so she look like a good person next to me ,but nah she is just evil btw thank you for all you cool music:D

DUDE the animations for this are so cool, and all of the subtle work in the backbeats never fail to amaze me🔥🔥🔥

H O L Y S H I T THAT WAS AMAZING! First off I hope you are doing alright dear Derivakat. Secondly, I know the feeling of using music as an outlet to let out emotions and it makes the music even more powerful. Your message and song came out amazingly and beautifully👏👏👏👏

The new concept and set up is really cool!

2:23 im so obsessed with this part

This is really good! Never a bad song from Derivakat.

The animation is absolutely crazy good just like your voice, amazing work!❤️

The song is really so good and the lyrics are very powerful. Absolutely loved and enjoyed every bit of it❤

It's been 3 years now but I can say that. I will always love her songs ✧

i don’t think ive ever related to a derivakat song hard

Truer words have never been spoken Safe travels on your archivist adventure!

Amazing as always❤

I love visuals like this, dang!

DAAAMN MY JAW IS ON THE FLOOR

probably my favorite song

Back with an other banger

theory that the ep is rainbow emotion themed, with each colour representing a different emotion. we have red = anger, so next is orange = ??? Am I right??

This is a strange experience for me, this is the only song I've felt an emotional connection to, it's like every lyric I hear I can fully relate to…

This song hit HARD for me. I had a best friend abandon me in 2022. Almost two years now. What happened before she did and the shit she did without me knowing was genuinely horrible. So this felt SO cathartic to listen to

Can't wait 🫷

Not Derivakat describing my entire life in a song

Ok I haven't really liked your music as much since Blue moon, I kinda feel bad but I'm honest, THIS IS INCREDIBLE, you're still the best - this genuinely gave me the same chills revived or doomsday gave me when I first heard them, fantastic.

I started following your work a little while ago, and today I think how I hadn't met you much sooner! This music is really amazing, and that 808... just WOW! Great Job 💚🔥

This song is so original what the heck I literally got chills

Im ready to hit the griddy with this one 💯🥵🗣️

I just realised this is the song we heard in the archivists introduction trailer.

Can’t wait for the new era of Derivakat!

It is actually sad that there are people who only use their friend as a stepping tool they don't even consider the person as a friend
