    LYRICS:
    The role of the king is a lonely one to play,
    But cards in the ring have been dealt in the wrong way.
    The role of the king is a lonely one to play,
    no matter the lives of the people before me,
    All that I seek is the path to glory, glory.
    Chips in my pocket and blood stains on my hands,
    I'm building my legacy right here in the sand.
    I’ll stay until the end and watch it go down in flames
    Yeah, maybe the path is gory,
    Whatever it takes to get my glory, glory.
    I was told I had to walk away,
    Leave my enemies to rot in their own grave.
    But scars don't heal, I've given blood a taste.
    I'll fake the smile they've seen before,
    They'll see I am so much more.
    So,
    The rule of the land, it's so crucial to obey.
    Believe in yourself, or you won't be appreciated.
    Don't you overthink it, just do what I say.
    Lay the politics out before me,
    Whatever it takes to get my glory.
    You need all the power and the fame.
    Cuz that's the game.
    You've been kicked into the sand.
    I've built something better than
    What you could ever dream of on your own.
    The role of the king is a lonely one to play,
    But cards in the ring have been dealt in the wrong way.
    The role of the king is a lonely one to play,
    no matter the lives of the people before me,
    All that I seek is the path to glory.
    My legacy,
    My glory, ah!

    Quackity is one of those antagonists you can’t help but root for. He’s such an interesting and fun character, not really a villain, but definitely not a hero. This is the most amazing Quackity song I’ve ever heard. Another amazing one, CG5!!!

    So many neat details here. The playing cards are designed with Quackity's face on them, and when he's holding the trident, the silhouette makes it look like he's wearing a crown. Beautiful, masterfully designed and animated.

      As someone who has watched barely any streams, mostly just stuff from UA-cam, I interpreted the trident as devil horns. Now that you say that, I can see that it's a crown, but I think both make sense thematically (you're definitely closer though, the song is called "Lonely King" after all)

    This song perfectly shows the rise and fall of Quackity as a character in the DSMP. The flow of the animation, all the hidden details like the ending shot, if you pause, you see the word “legacy”. Or describing the tragic downfall of Simleicle when he and Quackity were betrayed by Purpled. I swear I could hear Slimcile’s last line of talking about how it was nice to be shown what it was like to be human… and that maybe he almost was. Quackity may be a anti hero more than a villain but damnit he has a villain song that will be on my playlist on loop now! Thank you Charlie!

    @Crowboneboy Рік тому +1487

    I am obsessed with the part at 01:05. The slow transition from a bitter, almost melancholic tune to a sinister, all encompassing crescendo gives me so much joy. The slight vocal echo and the chorus of voices give this scene a large impression, like standing in an auditorium or an empty stage, and the sound of sax slowly descending to low notes makes me think of Quackity's slow descendance into his corrupted drive for power, for lack of a better description. And the way the lyrics were delivered, that evil laugh and the gleeful "Ooh yeah!" just ties everything up sooo nicely! And the visuals! Gosh, don't get me started on that one.
    I can see gow much thought went into this song, how much care went into the portrayal of Quackity the character and his story. I'm just- blown away;

  • @Achilleseverfree
    @Achilleseverfree Рік тому +908

    THERES SO MUCH DETAILS AND REFERENCES, THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY WORTH THE HYPE AND THE WAIT
    You can see in 0:25 for a brief moment that the card flashes to a reversed scene with the heart card crossed out and the quackity smile on top, which could mean that quackity is heartbroken and doesn’t rely on emotions anymore
    And in 0:32 the trident was positioned to look like a crown in the silhouette, a throwback to the title “lonely king” referring to quackity, which has thrown away all his friends and loved ones, therefore the “lonely king”
    In 0:34, the machine showed three sevens, which means luck but the other columns showed two engagement rings, which signifies the relationship of karlnapity, as the other, shears, signifies his “visits” in prison
    In 0:39, you can see that some cards were coloured as different characters, with the top, C!Tommy and C!slime, being the ones quackity viewed as most important and the ones below them members of Las Nevadas
    From 0:50-0:54, shows the two countries c!quackity longed to be but cannot. L’manburg and Kinoko Kingdom.
    From 0:58-1:01, shows the character arcs quackity had and the person he hated most at that moment, in order being:
    Election arc, C!Jschlatt
    Butcher arc, C!Technoblade
    Divorce arc: C!Karl Jacobs
    Las Nevadas arc, C!Wilbur
    In 1:03, “I’ll fake the smile they’ve seen before” the smile referring to c!dream’s smile, which is shown in the background, “fake the smile” meaning that he’ll turn to the ways of tyranny and aim to “the path of glory”
    1:13 HAS SO MUCH REFERENCES I CAN ONLY TELL THE ONES I UNDERSTAND- in each shard was a different scene. You can see where c!quackity was persuading c!foolish to join Las Nevadas. Three engagement rings. The night where c!Quackity found c!slime. His scar. An axe. Poker chips. His wings. When he blew up c!purpled’s ufo. His “sessions” with c!dream. Him fighting with c!revivebur. The red banquet and the egg. C!Fundy’s dreams. A pickaxe. C!Technoblade’s failed execution. Those are only some I could tell
    In 1:33, quackity has c!Tommy in his hand, meaning literally, he has c!Tommy in the palm of his hands and in which gained a new ally. As shown in 1:39, a new card, c!Tommy has been added to his collection.
    The scene from 1:45-1:47 shows that c!quackity was rejected from C!Wilbur’s country in the beginning, then him later rejecting c!wilbur from his country, Las Nevadas later on. With C!Quackity being the one left in the dust replaced with C!Wilbur. With the references: “you’ve been kicked into the sand, I’ve built something better than what you could ever dream of on your own” referring to that c!quackity built Las Nevadas in the desert, which then he kicked c!Wilbur out of. Las Nevadas, being one of the successful and stable countries at the time, wasn’t faced with any obstacles or blown up, like L’manburg did, therefore the ‘I’ve built something than what you could ever dream of on your own”.
    From 0:52-2:01, shows the crew of Las Nevadas, with the portrait of c!purpled slowly falling off showing his betrayal and hatred towards c!quackity revealed, as c!quackity was the one who blew up his ufo in attempt of manipulating him. That he remembered and vowed for revenge. which then later resulted in the death of c!slime as seen later from 2:02-2:42
    From the silhouette in 2:48, c!Quackity is shown holding three cards, which may be reference as to him losing two of his crew, c!purpled and c!slime.
    From 3:02 to 3:03, c!quackity is positioned like how a king is in a deck of poker cards. Another reference to the title: “Lonely King”
    The lyrics: “the role of the king is a lonely one to play, but cards in the ring has been dealt in the wrong way.” Means that c!quackity wasn’t always like this. Powerhungry, manipulative and apathetic. But he had seen too much going on in the field. Resulting him to step in.
    I think that’s all I could interpret! such a beautiful piece.

    This is genuinely one of the BEST DSMP songs I’ve heard. Like with Derivakat’s REVIVED, the use of more than just singing really throws you for a loop and lets it feel more dramatic like a musical. It’s so cool to hear the yelling in this because of that and it makes me want to just sit here for hours rewatching the whole thing again and again to pick it apart. Great job to CG5 and DICE Shimi!! You guys did a fantastic job on this one!! :)

    Lyrics: Yeah, Hey The role of the king is a lonely one to play
    But cards in the ring have been dealt in the wrong way!
    The role of the king is a lonely one to play
    No matter the lives of the people before me
    All that I seek is the path to glory, glory (hmm, glory, glory)
    Chips in my pocket and blood stains on my hands
    I'm building my legacy right here in the sand!
    I'll stay until the end and watch it go down in flames
    Yeah, maybe the path is gory
    Whatever it takes to get my glory, glory (hmm, glory, glory)
    I was told I had to walk away
    Leave my enemies to rot in their own grave
    But scars don't heal, I've given blood a taste
    I'll fake the smile they've seen before
    They'll see I am so much more
    Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha!
    Ooh, yeah! So!
    The rule of the land, it's so crucial to obey
    Believe in yourself, or you won't be appreciated!
    Don't you overthink it, just do what I say!
    Lay the politics out before me
    Whatever it takes to get my glory (hmm, glory, glory)
    You! You need all the power and the fame!
    'Cause that's the game
    You've been kicked into the sand
    I've built something better than
    What you could ever dream of on your own
    The role of the king is a lonely one to play
    But cards in the ring have been dealt in the wrong way!
    The role of the king is a lonely one to play
    No matter the lives of the people before me
    All that I seek is the path to glory!
    My glory, ah!

    This song would be perfect in a musical. I can see the choreography in my head. We need a DSMP musical just so CG5 can write the music.

    The attention to detail is insane. Like Quackity standing in front of L’manberg after being kicked out, and then it’s Wilbur standing in front of Las Nevadas after being rejected to come in, with Dream in the background.
