Set It Off is one of the only bands/artists who can take a super aggressive song into an acoustic, that still holds the same level of angst and anger as the original.
this is the song in the musical where they are pissed and psychopathic. like it's the emotional monologue before they press the button to a doomsday device
This version sounds like a hero who was betrayed by their “friends” and is realizing the true colors of the world around them. It has a completely different vibe and I love it so much.
Yess. Everyone is saying it has villain vibes but I think it's more of a fallen hero who's trying to convince themselves to go against his friends who betrayed him.
@@kairahill5087 You don't need to tell me the dreamtale story I already know and know I'll probably think of them every time I hear the song xp also I guess in a way it could fit shattered dream to a lesser extent
The original sounds like the beginning or the peak of a villain arc. This sounds like the aftermath or the latter part of the arc; where they're pondering to themselves "Is this worth it? Even if it isn't, what is done can't be undone... all I can do is move forward." and so they desperately attempt to justify their actions to help them cope with the internal guilt of their actions. The parts where he raises his voice sounds like the villain yelling at themselves to insist that they shouldn't feel any remorse and they have to just keep pushing.
How can set it off be so amazing with their normal songs and still be just as perfect with acoustic? Cody puts so much emotion into all of the songs and he still puts the same emotion into the acoustic 😫
This version like the exact moment when a character makes the decision to become a villain, due to feeling rejected by the world and being all alone. The original sounds like a reprise, where the hero is trying to reach out and make them change their ways....only for the villain to respond with hatred and rage.
Omg the difference between acoustic and original you can definitely feel emotions from both just the hype and anger in the original while the acoustic is so sad and emotional 🤩 amazing set it off never fail to impress me
Just when I thought Killer In The Mirror was perfect how it is, they go and make another version that's just as good if not better. The song was already emotional but this takes that to a great new level.
Me: expect a new song for The Final Chapter. Set It Off: releasing an acoustic cover of Killer In The Mirror so the Midnight Era ends how it began. Me: surprise Pikachu face.
The original sounds aggressive, painful and spiteful. This version feels like if midnight was a story, even after they've gone through triumph and healing in songs like "Stitch Me Up" the final chapter of Midnight starts with a sad reminder of where it all started. The original sounds angry and betrayed, this version sounds disappointed and tired.
Look out, they're closing in on you now Wake up, or you'll wake up six feet down Nobody's got your back in this town Knock 'em in the teeth now Out here, there's no negotiation No room to start a conversation Before you get a taste, it's taken Never let you guard down Get back, put your hands up, kinda messed up, but it's tough luck And I'm sorry, but I don't feel bad for you 'Cause I know if you could switch this You'd be dishing out the same shit Saying sorry, but I don't feel bad Now I know there's no one I can trust I used to think there was Tell me that I'm cutthroat I think you got your eyes closed Feel the fear and swallow back the tears Let weakness disappear There's nobody but me here The killer in the mirror Killer in the, killer in the, killer in the mirror Killer in the, killer in the, killer in the mirror Where did all of the good people go? They hide behind the bars on windows In hopes they can forget we're close Trying to get some of what they've got 'Cause I used to believe in justice A place where there was better judgment But now I'm feeling so disgusted By the "have its" and the "have nots" Get back, put your hands up, kinda messed up, but it's tough luck And I'm sorry, but I don't feel bad for you 'Cause I know if you could switch this, you'd be dishing out the same shit Saying sorry, but I don't feel bad Now I know there's no one I can trust I used to think there was Tell me that I'm cutthroat I think you got your eyes closed Feel the fear and swallow back the tears Let weakness disappear There's nobody but me here The killer in the mirror Killer in the, killer in the, killer in the mirror Killer in the, killer in the, killer in the mirror Knock 'em in the teeth now Never let you guard down Get some of what they've got "Have its" and the "have nots" Knock 'em in the teeth now Never let you guard down When they step in your house Knock, knock, knock 'em all the fuck out Now I know there's no one I can trust I used to think there was Tell me that I'm cutthroat I think you got your eyes closed Feel the fear and swallow back the tears Let weakness disappear There's nobody but me here The killer in the mirror Killer in the, killer in the, killer in the mirror Killer in the, killer in the, killer in the mirror Feel the fear and swallow back the tears Let weakness disappear There's nobody but me here The killer in the mirror Killer in the, killer in the, killer in the mirror Killer in the, killer in the, killer in the mirror
This song is so beautifully executed and is honestly my favorite acoustic by them so far. It gives me falling in reverse revamped vibes but better its such a beautiful song that gave me chills
I straight up was going through a breakup when the original one came out. This is so haunting wholly shit. Kinda ironic how I'm going through another one when this version dropped aswell this song will always help me
Simply magnificent! You can feel all the emotions perfectly! The original version was one of my favorite songs from Set it Off, and the acoustic makes me love the song even more! Keep being awesome guys!!!
Im truly amazed that this Version that /sounds/ so much more peaceful by the instrumental delivers the exact same about of Built Up, heavy emotions! Extraordinary Job Guys! 😍🖤
As much as I love the vocals, the first 7 seconds are my favorite part, both because it sounds way better than the sensory overload I get when listening to the original and because it sets the mood for everything to come. Also it just sounds so good on it's own.
I missed so much the cody's voice ;;; I listen their albums a lot and always hope they can do soon a new album. And this version is just perfect, like always.
Anybody else that got like: Music: Killer in the, killer in the, killer in the mirroooo~ Me: Oh oh oh! Oh oh oh! Music: ooooorrrr~ Me: ._. Or like: Music: When they step in your house~ Me: KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK THEM ALL THE F- Music: Knock them all the f_ck out~ Me: .-. But don't get me wrong! I freaking love it! I can't stop listening to them all!!! Great job, Set it Off, keep rocking it!
Set It Off is one of the only bands/artists who can take a super aggressive song into an acoustic, that still holds the same level of angst and anger as the original.
And this isn't the first time, they did the same thing with Wolf in Sheep's clothing
@@camilaayalarubiani7653 And I've loved it every time
Yess
Indeed
and add a littlel bit of sadnes and regret
This is like if the villain just got tired of everything. I love it

Someone needs to make an animation / story built off of this
@@littlesounder1932 Ah shit, here we go again.
@@knightmare_346 Jason dean vibes
I never knew knock them all the fuck out could sound so angelic but here we are
that honestly wasn’t what i was expecting cody to do but honestly i’m not mad

Set It Off always goes so hard with the emotions in the acoustic versions of all their songs, but this one hits so hard!
Ikrrrr
I like it's song
This one hits me in the heart and I don't know exactly why-
GKE HAS ENTERED THE FUCKING CHAT!! YAAAAAAASSSSS
I realize I'm pretty randomly asking but does anyone know of a good place to watch new movies online ?
This version sounds like a hero who was betrayed by their “friends” and is realizing the true colors of the world around them.

@@kairahill5087 Also also the normal version of the song reminds me of all of the dust aus (why is there so many of them...)
I think of it as the slytherin theme song but I also think about it like this as well
@@theoutsiderjess1869 So like a Slytherin after everyone is just like "hur durr ur evil" so they become fed up with it?
2:06 the power and emotion was incredible here. The little spike of shocked anger was amazing.
agreed
this sounds like a villain’s theme the vibe is so different than the original
Vibe eren yeager
I call it the slytherin theme song
When it kicks in at 3:37 just wow chills
Cody’s voice gets me every time🥰
The original sounds like the beginning or the peak of a villain arc. This sounds like the aftermath or the latter part of the arc; where they're pondering to themselves "Is this worth it?

yo hold up someone in hollywood needs to see this and make it real. This could be the movie of the century.
How can set it off be so amazing with their normal songs and still be just as perfect with acoustic? Cody puts so much emotion into all of the songs and he still puts the same emotion into the acoustic 😫
I know the song is a masterpiece, but have you seen the description?? The album it's realising on June 4th, IN LESS THAN A MONTH!!
Hey, that's my dad's birthday!!!
Ohh, thank
kinda sucks that its only a deluxe version of midnight but they need to take their time with a brand new album
@@coolen8502 yeah but remember Cinematics deluxe edition, it gave us Kill the Lights and Partners in Crime, so they're still pretty good news!!

Ik I love their acoustics because the original and acoustic emotional but in different ways like this shit hits different
@@graceolivier5131 Facts
That image of Shinso terrifies me
@@lunarwing12 💀💀
Okay but who gave them the right to make an acoustic version this beautiful?? 😍😍😍
hrB2 vwgfh me sir o m'amm
Why are this guys so talented????
because it isnt talent its hard work
THIS IS ART, THEY ARE AMAZING
Okay but I love the animation so much
Almost as satisfying as the song itself
It’s so pretty and calming 😍
@@Saammmoooonnnnn Exactly! It so satisfying 😌
This is why Set It Off continues to be my favorite band, this was so beautiful 💙💙💙
Just when I thought Killer In The Mirror was perfect how it is, they go and make another version that's just as good if not better. The song was already emotional but this takes that to a great new level.
the lyrics have such a different meaning with a sad vibe instead of an angry one
Killer in the Mirror: *has been one of my favorite songs since it’s release*
Set it Off: “Life is good.”
“But it could be better-“
This absolutely made my day, it’s at the top of my list for the greatest thing to have happened all week.
I F-CKING love this and the energy or the power of this!
I've never wished more desperately for Cody to gently knock me in the teeth until now.
the end of an era, glad to be apart of it
Me: expect a new song for The Final Chapter.
Set It Off: releasing an acoustic cover of Killer In The Mirror so the Midnight Era ends how it began.
Me: surprise Pikachu face.
did you not listen to talk it off this week? they did say that they were going to do this instead of a new song
@@Setitoffrules I missed cuz I was busy
@@VandalMashupsandEdits that is unlucky, you should still try to watch it or listen to it soon
@@Setitoffrulesactually 3 weeks ago zach said they shot a music vid, so I'm wondering if they were somehow talking about this or if theirs still more
@@aripenner6425 this is true, thanks for reminding me :)
I haven't listen to this song in a minute , it such a bop

Look out, they're closing in on you now
Wake up, or you'll wake up six feet down
Nobody's got your back in this town
Knock 'em in the teeth now
Out here, there's no negotiation
No room to start a conversation
Before you get a taste, it's taken
Never let you guard down
Get back, put your hands up, kinda messed up, but it's tough luck
And I'm sorry, but I don't feel bad for you
'Cause I know if you could switch this
You'd be dishing out the same shit
Saying sorry, but I don't feel bad
Now I know there's no one I can trust
I used to think there was
Tell me that I'm cutthroat
I think you got your eyes closed
Feel the fear and swallow back the tears
Let weakness disappear
There's nobody but me here
The killer in the mirror
Killer in the, killer in the, killer in the mirror
Killer in the, killer in the, killer in the mirror
Where did all of the good people go?
They hide behind the bars on windows
In hopes they can forget we're close
Trying to get some of what they've got
'Cause I used to believe in justice
A place where there was better judgment
But now I'm feeling so disgusted
By the "have its" and the "have nots"
Get back, put your hands up, kinda messed up, but it's tough luck
And I'm sorry, but I don't feel bad for you
'Cause I know if you could switch this, you'd be dishing out the same shit
Saying sorry, but I don't feel bad
Now I know there's no one I can trust
I used to think there was
Tell me that I'm cutthroat
I think you got your eyes closed
Feel the fear and swallow back the tears
Let weakness disappear
There's nobody but me here
The killer in the mirror
Killer in the, killer in the, killer in the mirror
Killer in the, killer in the, killer in the mirror
Knock 'em in the teeth now
Never let you guard down
Get some of what they've got
"Have its" and the "have nots"
Knock 'em in the teeth now
Never let you guard down
When they step in your house
Knock, knock, knock 'em all the fuck out
Now I know there's no one I can trust
I used to think there was
Tell me that I'm cutthroat
I think you got your eyes closed
Feel the fear and swallow back the tears
Let weakness disappear
There's nobody but me here
The killer in the mirror
Killer in the, killer in the, killer in the mirror
Killer in the, killer in the, killer in the mirror
Feel the fear and swallow back the tears
Let weakness disappear
There's nobody but me here
The killer in the mirror
Killer in the, killer in the, killer in the mirror
Killer in the, killer in the, killer in the mirror
My man can take a song, totally change the vibe, and still make it sound amazing.
Dang, it's the end of this era already? The hourglass is broken and now it's over????
why does every acoustic cover they make sound so emotional i'm gonna cry
This song is so beautifully executed and is honestly my favorite acoustic by them so far. It gives me falling in reverse revamped vibes but better its such a beautiful song that gave me chills
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE IT REALLY GIVES ME FIR REVAMPED VIBES🖤!!
I CANNOT STRESS HOW GOOD THIS IS
SET IT OFF, YAES, I NEEDED THIS
I liked it twice thru sheer compassion for the emotion of Cody's vocals.
when the villain is finally completing his revenge:
This is the best thing to ever exist😭
I don’t know what I’m feeling off this song, but I’m feeling something. And it’s pretty powerful 🔥
After re listening so many times I'm sure
This is the real Swan Song.
I straight up was going through a breakup when the original one came out. This is so haunting wholly shit. Kinda ironic how I'm going through another one when this version dropped aswell this song will always help me
Simply magnificent! You can feel all the emotions perfectly! The original version was one of my favorite songs from Set it Off, and the acoustic makes me love the song even more! Keep being awesome guys!!!

Extraordinary Job Guys! 😍🖤
The mix of fealing this can cause is amazing

I miss Set if off. I love you guys
This is so gorgeous, please. Yet another home run from Set It Off--expected.
This makes me think of a hero who was betrayed by their friends but now has them at their mercy.
I missed so much the cody's voice ;;;
I listen their albums a lot and always hope they can do soon a new album.
And this version is just perfect, like always.
YESSSSSSS my favourite song has got a acoustic version.
So much more somber than the original, it's so cool to listen to! This version is very cool
The people who disliked were crying so hard the couldn't see the like button
