This song has a different interpretation if you're a writer or trying to write your own story. "They're living, breathing, not a slave to a broken machine." can be interpreted as how one has to treat their characters as actual people and figure out what they'd do or say in reaction to things. "You only got the one shot." can be seen as the fact that you've got one shot to show everyone the world you've created. Hell, the whole song can be seen as the struggles a person who dreams to be a writer endures. As you can guess I've had this song on loop for a while as I try to figure out what to do. Plus this song just slaps
I'm a storyteller who has this mentality. I like to think of my worlds and characters as alive and have their own thoughts and feelings separate from me, like I'm more of a historian than the creator. One of my main stories is even Oneshot-esc in that the world canonically takes place inside my own head, and the characters end up having an existential crisis over this. I even at one point have the world reset after a travesty so that they can live on in their own world happily, continuing the story after everyone dies. The message my representation gives to my characters is that even though they are not real in my world, that does not make them any less real. They are still real in their own world.
in a way, that's what the game itself is about! Oneshot is a game about the sentimental value of fiction. Be it creating it or consuming it, often times we find ourselves treating characters and environments as more than just drawings or words (consciously or otherwise). In a way, it's about how we ascribe elements of life to these stories, ultimately making them greater than the sum of their parts.
@@Krozahl Thanks! I'm planning to make a comic out of it at some point, but I don't know how long it will be before I do it. I think I'm going to do other art stuff and at least one comic before that story.
I actually got OneShot due to this song, seeing how the comments universally praised the game as much as they did the song. After beating the Solstice run, this song just feels so much more powerful and emotionally charged than before. References to soundtrack names, characters, events both in and out of the game world, this hits so much harder now. My hat goes off to you
Same stuff here I’ve listened to this song for awhile and taught : Why shouldn’t I get the game ? So I did and after playing for 4 hours and going to sleep just to be woken up 3 hours later at 5am by my consciousness screaming at me that I have unfinished business and doing the rest of the game ( With Solstice ) I can confirm everything you just said in your comment about the song.

Oneshot is my all time favorite game and it’s one of the few games that has genuinely made me cry, and the only one that gave me that deep of a connection with the character I’m playing as
This genuinely is my new favorite song. Some lines like "Under all the fuss and all the rust, the world's a work of art" and "A heart that's beating can't belong to a broken machine" hit insanely hard.
This is the first song based on OneShot i've heard, and it's amazing. I really wish more people knew about this fantastic game. I hope this song helps more people discover OneShot,
Well, I’ve started playing it last week, and am enjoying it so far, I’m in a green place and apparently need to find a pen to write my name to leave it, you probably already know everything about the game but yeah, I don’t really know why I’m telling ya this lol
I'll be honest, the only thing I know about OneShot is some stuff I've heard about it, but after seeing this song I've become extremely interested. This is one of the few times I've been so interested in a game's story that I'm not just watching a person play it, I'm going to get this game.
Hey, commenter here. Back after playing the game, I will never regret this. If you're reading this, play the game, it was the best decision I've made in a while. Thanks Musiclide for convincing me to play.
@@icetide9411 So glad to hear you enjoyed it!! It truly is one of the best games out there, everything about it is phenomenal: the plot, the characters, the atmosphere, the soundtrack. I could go on for hours
GOOD. DO *NOT* WATCH *ANY* GAMEPLAY OF THIS, JUST PLAY IT, DOING THIS WILL HAUNT YOU FOREVER, THIS IS NOT A THREAT, THIS IS A PERSON SPEAKING FROM REGRET.
When I saw “one shot” I thought it meant it was a one-off original song and now I have an awesome looking new game downloading on my steam library. Thanks for that.
OH MY GOODNESS I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT A ONESHOT SONG. THANK YOU Also highly recommend for the 4th wall breaker lovers ;) Oneshot is a pretty cool game and my heart is still all over it
@@bitfits2423Pretty much, it basically just doesn't have one. Also, you may be interested to know that if the following conditions were met, oneshot would be a fairly realistic story. 1:AI capable of true sentience exists 2:It is possible for a person from the real world(although perhaps not ours, maybe another) to become trapped in the digital one. 3:The code for the simulation somehow got to us from the "old world". That's it. That is about all that would be needed for oneshot to be a completely believable story. There are very few fictional stories that are this close to being real, and I think this is what makes it so fun.
2:56 This point keeps almost making me cry. The added instrumentals just sound so beautiful and really encapsulate the overall feeling I get from the story of OneShot, like an epic story that feels like it has been going on forever finally ending and the characters reminiscing before they say their final goodbyes.. Both OneShot and this song are masterpieces and I'm glad I got to experience them, but it still makes me almost cry. I think that emotion is actually what makes it a masterpiece, making you care about characters and a world that don't actually exist.
I really hope that the new console release will give OneShot the attention it deserves, it's such a hidden gem. I am so glad I stumbled across this masterpiece of a game (and song) Seriously if you haven't played OneShot, stop what you are doing and GO PLAY IT. It is worth it, the most unique and lasting experiences I think I'll ever have.
@@Ransa31there is a free version on rpgmaker (it’s also the original version before the Steam release, I hope you’ve already played it after 10 months lol)
As much as I love the idea of a console release, I personally believe that messes up the meta nature of the game. I have played both DDLC(another very meta game) and DDLC+(the console edition), and although they added a virtual desktop to simulate these meta experiences, it really didn't compare to the original. I would absolutely love it if console devs would add the ability to do stuff like that with console games, but right now they are not able to.
anyone who listens to this and is curious about it, it's a game called oneshot, markiplier has a gameplay of it but you'll have to find someone else to watch to get the true ending
I first found out about one shot by watching a French UA-camr called Farod. The only reason I watched was because he promoted it like a ddlc and undertale spinoff.
this is awesome! im glad more and more people realize oneshot exists, its incredibly underrated. to the people who are listening to this song and havent played the game yet, PLAY THE GAME ITS MORE THAN WORTH IT!
I’m extremely happy to see this game receive more love and attention from the fan base despite how underrated or unseen this game. I’m just glad nobody has forgotten this game and that it’s still receiving some attention and love from a bunch of fans. What I said probably was and I think sounded repetitive but im just trying to say im really happy that you made a song on this game and that people still remember it and love it for the experience you get from the first time playing. Thank you for making this wonderful song!
I just stayed up until 3 am after getting and playing OneShot for about a week, then playing solstice. My heart is in shambles and now I'm playing this on repeat. I'd ask for help if I wasn't still reeling from it so hard I'll think about it for years to come. I agree with everyone else here, you may have heard of the game, listened to songs, seen art, but you'll never understand unless you play it. Just remember, you only have One Shot. Your time is precious. Cherish it. I know I did.
Normal game: caused my depression (plant lady) End of normal game: cured my depression (plant lady) Solstice: caused my depression Solstice credits: cured my depression
you know that problem when you cannot talk about oneshot with anyone? i have invented a solution, the design is very human let my good friend demonstrate you just restrain your friend in this seat and play 10 hours of oneshot brainrot very easy to use
Niko did not fail to sieze this tired soul's heart of stone It nearly broke me to send her home People might say, "It's just a game." But none of us will ever be the same. -An Ode to Oneshot Thank you for the song!
Wow, this song is great, def going in my playlist. It reminds me of my times playing one shot, and feels completely like a heart-felt love letter to the game. I love it so much!
I love that you can absolutely tell that this was made by somoene who actually played through the game instead of just being some superficial information about the game
I like to think that this is a song that Niko and the “Broken Machine” make together (with Neko singing and the Machine adding the beat) for the player as a thank you! Very wholesome🥹!
I also like to think that Niko sings the verses while TWM (The World Machine) sings the chorus. While Niko sings about they adventure with us and their burden to bring the salvation to that world, TWM sings directly to us, trying it's best to make us save Niko. And as a fellow fan said in the comment section of this song, Niko's verse change, they're alive and experiencing a whole new universe. While TWM repeats the same lines over and over again, following it's "code", doing everything it can to make us save Niko. "They're living, breathing, not a slave to a broken machine." "A heart that's beating can't belong to a broken machine." But as an alternative theory, this song could have been done all by Niko. They never forgot that world and neither us, the player, so years later and with new technology of their world, they made a song as a way to let the memory of that adventure long ago still live on. Fun fact! This song is sung by an AI. Everything comes full circle huh?
I would listen to this song ALL THE TIME on SoundCloud. But never got around to watching the video for it. I’m not sure what ONESHOT is really about. But the song has ALWAYS been fire. Still is. It has been one of my favorites for years!
not even gonna lie here i found this song recently despite having played oneshot a while ago and it hits so hard i don't even care no one i've sent it to seems to get it but this is such a good song any time i offer it my full attention i end in tears. all this to say, another musiclide banger 👍
Yeah, that’s something to watch out for, it’s basically in place so you can’t change the hearted comment to something horrible and get me in trouble haha Glad you enjoyed the song!
@@Alex-gv2jc Spoiler Maybe, but I can see it as Niko and the world machine, or The World machine only, as you get to replay the game with The World Machine replacing Niko if you beat solstice
Beautiful. Absolutely marvelous! It's got this combination of slightly upbeat but also dour tones which OneShot revolves around so well. Please if anyone's not played this game I HIGHLY encourage you to do so and go in with as few spoilers as possible!
Replying to this. Finally got a hold of Oneshot to play for myself. I knew it was going to end rough but I had forgotten the details. Jeez. Adore the game.
I love this song as much as I love the game, and as someone who's bought it on every console I own, played it through at least 7 times on each and 100% every variant that is a hell of a lot
Ohhh my gosh I've been wishing for a fan song for this game, and I thought it would never happen, but here it is! I think you did an amazing job on the lyrics, the video, everything! Hopefully this video brings a bit more attention to this underrated game!
I finished the game last week and I'm so glad that there are still people who care about the game all this time later after it's release. This song is such a bop.
I know this song came out 2 years ago and this may be a bit unorthodox for this kind of community, but I also like how this song really emphasizes the religious thematics of the game. As a religious guy myself, I like how (intentionally or not), some lyrics speak to much of the world's population's beliefs on "only having one shot" in their life and "transcending this corrupt world to a tower in the sky", in a way that doesn't compromise the themes present within Oneshot itself by further impacting on parts like the presence of a "Messiah" in a corrupted world. This song actually showed me a lot of symbolism of the game in a light I hadn't seen before; like how "squares" could be a euphemism for the corruption of the soul; an infestation unintended for the world's moral "code". Might not be your intent at all, but I just thought it was really cool and thought-provoking. :)
Надеюсь, переводчик ютуба правильно поймёт, что я имею в виду. Лет 6 назад, когда я с друзьями ещё учились в средней и старшей школе, нам нравилось творчество TLT. Ваш стиль очень похож на них, и мне очень нравится это. Прослушал ещё несколько ваших треков, после чего, я сильно удивился, что у вас так мало подписчиков. Очень круто делаете 👍
I've been listening to this on spotify for weeks now and only just decided to check it out over here. I picked up and beat Oneshot thanks to this song, so thank you for introducing me to that gem. It's made some memories that I'll never forget.
Just found this today! I'm so happy this song exist! Oneshot is definitely one of those games or type of medias that deserve that treatment. Also, thank you for not spoiling the game for newcommers but also making it enjoyable for veterans like me who's been fan of the game for a long time. It became my favorite video game of all time when I discovered it from Markiplier playing it, followed by Merg's playtrough for Solstice. Hollow Knight joined it some years ago when I bought it on Switch because it was cheap but none of these two games could ever be dethroned. They're just both too equaly good for one to be above the other.
Thank You for this great Song!! i am currently listening to it on loop, 20 minutes have passed already This is something i will always listen to again I thought my Niko plush filled the niko-shaped hole in my heart, but you managed to open it again. also, spotify says July 16th, so i see this as another Birthday gift, thank you This is now a part of my daily playlist, that i always edit to what i want to listen to, this one will stay there forever
OneShot - это одна из тех немногих игр, которая сумела поменять мой взгляд на мир. Благодаря Нико и истории этого мира я даже поверил в одну прекрасную светлую мысль, хотя верить во что-либо без доказательств мне и несвойственно. Песня прекрасна, Нико жив! Спасибо :s
Here's a try for a Portuguese Adaptation for the Song! Acordei à noite e eu vi Uma terra de trevas eu percebi Ouvi o silêncio ao respirar, E ouvi o mesmo outra vez. Então vi uma tela brilhando, Na luz onde eu estava. Se perguntou alguma vez, Quando um sistema chama seu nome? No porão, lá no porão, No mais escuro da escuridão, Guiar um orbe claro como o sol, Um fogo sem vida. No meio de barulho e ferrugem, O trabalho do mundo na arte. Vamos corrigir, minha luz do fardo, Então deixe-o brilhar. Apenas uma chance restou, então deixe rolar e deixe-os ir. Eles vivem, respiram, não como escravo de uma máquina quebrada Apenas uma chance restou, então segure-se e acredite Um coração batendo não será de uma máquina quebrada. Oh... Através de pixels e árvores, vi um mundo se isolar, No coração, bater profundo, Oh, corrupções tem o seu jeito Cubos e erros vivem o seu sonho, Correndo sem cessar na cena Sem design ou cores sem esquema, Sem controle no jogo. Sem troca, sem troca, Não, uma luz de alguém do tipo, Precisa de ajuda, ir em frente, À torre lá no céu. Se sua esperança definhar, Ou duvidar se iremos conseguir, Levante a cabeça, será meu guia, Vamos deixá-lo brilhar. Apenas uma chance restou, então deixe rolar e deixe-os ir. Eles vivem, respiram, não como escravo de uma máquina quebrada Apenas uma chance restou, então segure-se e acredite Um coração batendo não será de uma máquina quebrada. Oh...
I JUST finished One shot Solstice and I can say with confidence that HOLY... SHIT. OH MY GOD. THIS IS SO FUCKING GOOD HELLO???? IVE BEEN LISTENING TO THIS ONE REPEAT.
I started listening to this after finishing the two standard endings. It is funny how my view of this song changed from "hey, it's an awesome song about the game I'm currently playing" to painful nostalgia after Solstice...
oneshot was the videogame experience of my life along with undertale and outer wilds. those games are simply amazing. probably never living them down. they all have well written stories.. i could go back and forth on how much i like all of them, but it'd be too long. hence why i rather say so cool. so cool. so cool. so cool.
There’s a movie sorta like that, I think it’s called “Guy” and some NPC becomes half sentient and takes control of his game or something (can’t really explain the plot well)
Ive listened to this quite a few times. Maybe im just emotional, but this makes me want to cry. it captures to bittersweet element of the game so well, and i just wanna give niko and TWM a hug. they both need it. I feel like im right with Niko listening to this song, it captures the vibes so well. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK HGABINKLSESF
God I love this!!! When I played oneshot, my brother was watching me play it. We got hocked up from the story, we “might” have cried when Niko misses home crying, we also got scared every time we close the game so we make sure to save it at the Bed so they are safe then continue tomorrow. When niko made me decide which one I will choose if it was me….I picked the sun, to put the lightbulb. When niko was gone I cried. I refused that ending, it won’t let me restart the game, so (spoilers) I deleted the safe file, and the story restarted, but it changed. That’s when I achieved the perfect ending…..without reading the little note on The file telling me to delete the safe file…..i did it without knowing what might happened.
This game is beautiful, this song is beautiful, and if you haven’t played this game, do it NOW. *BLINDLY*. My biggest regret was knowing how the beginning of the game went. Honestly this game needs spoiler warnings I’m front of all its videos more than Undertale did. Also, if you have it available, use a PC to play, the game is meant to be played on PC and had to be given a desktop on the console version for a reason.
If only I was recommended this video sooner. I have been playing this song on loops for god knows how long now. The connections to the story are perfect AND the lyrics dont spoil the story. I had chills the first time I watched the video and I'm still getting chills listening to it.
I love this. "A heart that's beating can't belong to a broken machine." Is now my favorite quote
The broken machine canonically doesn't want to have a beating heart until you finish *_the_* ending, so i find it kinda ironic lol
Where the lungs and kidneys then?

@@icetide9411 So glad to hear you enjoyed it!! It truly is one of the best games out there, everything about it is phenomenal: the plot, the characters, the atmosphere, the soundtrack. I could go on for hours
GOOD. DO *NOT* WATCH *ANY* GAMEPLAY OF THIS, JUST PLAY IT, DOING THIS WILL HAUNT YOU FOREVER, THIS IS NOT A THREAT, THIS IS A PERSON SPEAKING FROM REGRET.
As someone who just finished Solstice ending and can't stop crying, this is FIRE!!! 🔥
I wasn't expecting a one shot song st this time, nor ever but you surley coocked.
I miss Niko...
Neither was I.
Niko is living his best life out there.
We love him so much. Enough to let him go.
When I saw “one shot” I thought it meant it was a one-off original song and now I have an awesome looking new game downloading on my steam library. Thanks for that.
did ya finish the game yet?
How was the game?
OH MY GOODNESS I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT A ONESHOT SONG.
THANK YOU
Also highly recommend for the 4th wall breaker lovers ;) Oneshot is a pretty cool game and my heart is still all over it
kris cross..
wait..
ah yeah love that game, deltarune, right?
cool I got a like
Oneshot doesn't just break the 4th wall, it straight up obliterates it.
@@birdboy1092 there was no 4th wall in the first place
@@bitfits2423Pretty much, it basically just doesn't have one. Also, you may be interested to know that if the following conditions were met, oneshot would be a fairly realistic story. 1:AI capable of true sentience exists 2:It is possible for a person from the real world(although perhaps not ours, maybe another) to become trapped in the digital one. 3:The code for the simulation somehow got to us from the "old world". That's it. That is about all that would be needed for oneshot to be a completely believable story. There are very few fictional stories that are this close to being real, and I think this is what makes it so fun.
Stand up for the national anthem guys
Stands up
I like that this fandom is still alive and hope that in future we see more OneShot content
not a game i expected to get a fan song, but this is going on my spotify playlist.
This song proves that this game is still finding new members and getting more light after all these years and it warms my heart to see it.

I played the game when it was out on steam on the first day an it still brings me to tears today.
2:56 This point keeps almost making me cry. The added instrumentals just sound so beautiful and really encapsulate the overall feeling I get from the story of OneShot, like an epic story that feels like it has been going on forever finally ending and the characters reminiscing before they say their final goodbyes.. Both OneShot and this song are masterpieces and I'm glad I got to experience them, but it still makes me almost cry. I think that emotion is actually what makes it a masterpiece, making you care about characters and a world that don't actually exist.
I really hope that the new console release will give OneShot the attention it deserves, it's such a hidden gem. I am so glad I stumbled across this masterpiece of a game (and song)
Seriously if you haven't played OneShot, stop what you are doing and GO PLAY IT. It is worth it, the most unique and lasting experiences I think I'll ever have.
When the switch version comes out I'll play it (for the first time)
I’ll play it if it’s free
@@Ransa31there is a free version on rpgmaker (it’s also the original version before the Steam release, I hope you’ve already played it after 10 months lol)
As much as I love the idea of a console release, I personally believe that messes up the meta nature of the game. I have played both DDLC(another very meta game) and DDLC+(the console edition), and although they added a virtual desktop to simulate these meta experiences, it really didn't compare to the original. I would absolutely love it if console devs would add the ability to do stuff like that with console games, but right now they are not able to.
@@kenbaird7454 you could possibly do it with SteamDeck which is like a portable computer more than anything
anyone who listens to this and is curious about it, it's a game called oneshot, markiplier has a gameplay of it but you'll have to find someone else to watch to get the true ending
I first found out about one shot by watching a French UA-camr called Farod. The only reason I watched was because he promoted it like a ddlc and undertale spinoff.
@@somefoolishguy8072 although the original version of Oneshot was released earlier
@@walterfonk6287 it was around solstice I think it's called.
@@somefoolishguy8072 what do you mean by that?
@@walterfonk6287 I don't remember anything about one shot but wasn't solcite a dlc that released a few years later?
this is awesome!
im glad more and more people realize oneshot exists, its incredibly underrated.
to the people who are listening to this song and havent played the game yet, PLAY THE GAME ITS MORE THAN WORTH IT!
Even tho it's 2024 now this slaps
Deserves more views
Agreed!!
I’m extremely happy to see this game receive more love and attention from the fan base despite how underrated or unseen this game. I’m just glad nobody has forgotten this game and that it’s still receiving some attention and love from a bunch of fans. What I said probably was and I think sounded repetitive but im just trying to say im really happy that you made a song on this game and that people still remember it and love it for the experience you get from the first time playing. Thank you for making this wonderful song!
I just stayed up until 3 am after getting and playing OneShot for about a week, then playing solstice. My heart is in shambles and now I'm playing this on repeat. I'd ask for help if I wasn't still reeling from it so hard I'll think about it for years to come. I agree with everyone else here, you may have heard of the game, listened to songs, seen art, but you'll never understand unless you play it.
Just remember, you only have One Shot. Your time is precious. Cherish it. I know I did.
this game changed my life
(Also cured my depression while simultaneously causing it)
Hmm?
same thing
Relatable
Normal game: caused my depression (plant lady)
End of normal game: cured my depression (plant lady)
Solstice: caused my depression
Solstice credits: cured my depression
I only know this game like about 1 month ago and added to my favorite and make me sad Mann you must be known that
can't wait to only hear this song once and keep the memory of it forever in my heart full of happiness and melancholy as i try to show everyone i know
MAN I LOVE THIS SONG. the problem is, Oneshot is so underrated and unknown i can't even share this with anyone
Bro I just discovered one shot and I'm watching markaplier play it. Literally becoming a fan rn
@@LovingArielleDude, that’s awesome. Make sure to watch Solstice after! :3
you know that problem when you cannot talk about oneshot with anyone?
i have invented a solution,
the design is very human
let my good friend demonstrate
you just restrain your friend in this seat and play 10 hours of oneshot brainrot
very easy to use
Every time i think of oneshots story i want to cry this game is a damn masterpiece.
Niko did not fail to sieze this tired soul's heart of stone
It nearly broke me to send her home
People might say, "It's just a game."
But none of us will ever be the same.
-An Ode to Oneshot
Thank you for the song!
Wow, this song is great, def going in my playlist. It reminds me of my times playing one shot, and feels completely like a heart-felt love letter to the game. I love it so much!
agreed
This is definitely a diamond in the rough. Just kinda randomly found it because my UA-cam home page won't refresh on my Switch.
I love that you can absolutely tell that this was made by somoene who actually played through the game instead of just being some superficial information about the game
I like to think that this is a song that Niko and the “Broken Machine” make together (with Neko singing and the Machine adding the beat) for the player as a thank you!
Very wholesome🥹!
*niko
@@Wyi-the-rogue thanks I fixed it
@@jackham5967 yeah, also in the parenthesis
I also like to think that Niko sings the verses while TWM (The World Machine) sings the chorus.
While Niko sings about they adventure with us and their burden to bring the salvation to that world, TWM sings directly to us, trying it's best to make us save Niko.
And as a fellow fan said in the comment section of this song, Niko's verse change, they're alive and experiencing a whole new universe. While TWM repeats the same lines over and over again, following it's "code", doing everything it can to make us save Niko.
"They're living, breathing, not a slave to a broken machine."
"A heart that's beating can't belong to a broken machine."
But as an alternative theory, this song could have been done all by Niko. They never forgot that world and neither us, the player, so years later and with new technology of their world, they made a song as a way to let the memory of that adventure long ago still live on.
Fun fact! This song is sung by an AI. Everything comes full circle huh?
I would listen to this song ALL THE TIME on SoundCloud. But never got around to watching the video for it. I’m not sure what ONESHOT is really about. But the song has ALWAYS been fire. Still is. It has been one of my favorites for years!
not even gonna lie here i found this song recently despite having played oneshot a while ago and it hits so hard i don't even care no one i've sent it to seems to get it but this is such a good song any time i offer it my full attention i end in tears. all this to say, another musiclide banger 👍
Just started playing this game, very beautiful song, great job!
:o Hi xXtha!
wow
Amazing work ! Extra points for Niko's gender-ambiguous voice
Edit : huh TIL editing a comment removes the YTber heart
Yeah, that’s something to watch out for, it’s basically in place so you can’t change the hearted comment to something horrible and get me in trouble haha
Glad you enjoyed the song!
*spoiler*
I thought the voice was to represent the world machine, seeing as its goal is to get Niko to leave
@@aceofdiamonds2218 spoiler
think it's meant to be niko during the verses and twm during the chorus
@@Alex-gv2jc Spoiler
Maybe, but I can see it as Niko and the world machine, or The World machine only, as you get to replay the game with The World Machine replacing Niko if you beat solstice
@@Alex-gv2jc i found you!
Oneshot is my ALL TIME FAVORITE GAME and i am so hyped that musiclide did a song on it. now i cant stop listening to it.
I'm so happy oneshot is getting the attention it deserves
Bro this is aweosome banger. Oneshot is one of the best games i ever payed.(btw the true ending made me cry)
I'm unable to express how happy it makes me to see fanmade content about OneShot. Even better is that it's a song!
I love how the song transitions through different parts of the game. That’s really cool
this is why i think oneshot is one of the best games, period
Beautiful. Absolutely marvelous! It's got this combination of slightly upbeat but also dour tones which OneShot revolves around so well.
Please if anyone's not played this game I HIGHLY encourage you to do so and go in with as few spoilers as possible!
Yo such a good vibe!
This hit completely different after finishing the Solstice route.
I like how, a hidden gem like Oneshot, is getting more attention nowadays than before.
I can't stop repeating this, it's one of those songs that shows up every now and again and you just listen and vibe. Thank you.
Replying to this. Finally got a hold of Oneshot to play for myself. I knew it was going to end rough but I had forgotten the details. Jeez. Adore the game.
I love this song as much as I love the game, and as someone who's bought it on every console I own, played it through at least 7 times on each and 100% every variant that is a hell of a lot
"You only got the one shot, so let it ride and let them leave.
They’re living, breathing, not a slave to a broken machine"
this gave me goosepumps
Ohhh my gosh I've been wishing for a fan song for this game, and I thought it would never happen, but here it is! I think you did an amazing job on the lyrics, the video, everything! Hopefully this video brings a bit more attention to this underrated game!
I listen to it over and over again. I can't stop. It's never happened before.
THE WAY MY MOUTH DROPPED OPEN WHEN I SAW THIS WAS MADE JUST A YEAR AGO-
I FELT THE EXACT SAME WAY
Now that I've listened to this again after playing OneShot, it hit all sorts of different. Amazing work Musiclide!
I finished the game last week and I'm so glad that there are still people who care about the game all this time later after it's release. This song is such a bop.
yes it was so good! I played it a few months ago it’s my fav game now!
Not broken.
Just not yet tamed.
I know this song came out 2 years ago and this may be a bit unorthodox for this kind of community, but I also like how this song really emphasizes the religious thematics of the game. As a religious guy myself, I like how (intentionally or not), some lyrics speak to much of the world's population's beliefs on "only having one shot" in their life and "transcending this corrupt world to a tower in the sky", in a way that doesn't compromise the themes present within Oneshot itself by further impacting on parts like the presence of a "Messiah" in a corrupted world. This song actually showed me a lot of symbolism of the game in a light I hadn't seen before; like how "squares" could be a euphemism for the corruption of the soul; an infestation unintended for the world's moral "code".
Might not be your intent at all, but I just thought it was really cool and thought-provoking. :)
Thats an interesting interpretation ngl
This song seems to have made some people try OneShot for the first time. You’re doing Gods work here, I greatly appreciate it
Надеюсь, переводчик ютуба правильно поймёт, что я имею в виду.
Лет 6 назад, когда я с друзьями ещё учились в средней и старшей школе, нам нравилось творчество TLT. Ваш стиль очень похож на них, и мне очень нравится это. Прослушал ещё несколько ваших треков, после чего, я сильно удивился, что у вас так мало подписчиков. Очень круто делаете 👍
Yes it working 👍🏼
I didn't think I needed this but I was proven otherwise
Why is this so freaking good
I've been listening to this on spotify for weeks now and only just decided to check it out over here. I picked up and beat Oneshot thanks to this song, so thank you for introducing me to that gem. It's made some memories that I'll never forget.
OneShot is one of my favourite games.
And this song is a damn good one.
Just found this today!
I'm so happy this song exist!
Oneshot is definitely one of those games or type of medias that deserve that treatment. Also, thank you for not spoiling the game for newcommers but also making it enjoyable for veterans like me who's been fan of the game for a long time. It became my favorite video game of all time when I discovered it from Markiplier playing it, followed by Merg's playtrough for Solstice. Hollow Knight joined it some years ago when I bought it on Switch because it was cheap but none of these two games could ever be dethroned. They're just both too equaly good for one to be above the other.
Thank You for this great Song!!
i am currently listening to it on loop, 20 minutes have passed already
This is something i will always listen to again
I thought my Niko plush filled the niko-shaped hole in my heart, but you managed to open it again.
also, spotify says July 16th, so i see this as another Birthday gift, thank you
This is now a part of my daily playlist, that i always edit to what i want to listen to, this one will stay there forever
Update: by now (5 Days as of now) i have a play time of at least 4 Hours on this. It is just THAT Good.
I love it with all my heart
For me its like 2 or 3 hours a day
Oh, i've found your comment! And i totally agree!
I agree. This is an absolutely amazing song
OneShot - это одна из тех немногих игр, которая сумела поменять мой взгляд на мир. Благодаря Нико и истории этого мира я даже поверил в одну прекрасную светлую мысль, хотя верить во что-либо без доказательств мне и несвойственно. Песня прекрасна, Нико жив! Спасибо :s
Нико жива
@@Snhmisc Я тоже думаю что это ОНА
После прохождение игры когда я захожу в меню у меня на душе становится так приятно, я даже перепроходить не хочу. Ведь концовка идеальна.

Here's a try for a Portuguese Adaptation for the Song!
Acordei à noite e eu vi
Uma terra de trevas eu percebi
Ouvi o silêncio ao respirar,
E ouvi o mesmo outra vez.
Então vi uma tela brilhando,
Na luz onde eu estava.
Se perguntou alguma vez,
Quando um sistema chama seu nome?
No porão, lá no porão,
No mais escuro da escuridão,
Guiar um orbe claro como o sol,
Um fogo sem vida.
No meio de barulho e ferrugem,
O trabalho do mundo na arte.
Vamos corrigir, minha luz do fardo,
Então deixe-o brilhar.
Apenas uma chance restou, então deixe rolar e deixe-os ir.
Eles vivem, respiram, não como escravo de uma máquina quebrada
Apenas uma chance restou, então segure-se e acredite
Um coração batendo não será de uma máquina quebrada.
Oh...
Através de pixels e árvores,
vi um mundo se isolar,
No coração, bater profundo,
Oh, corrupções tem o seu jeito
Cubos e erros vivem o seu sonho,
Correndo sem cessar na cena
Sem design ou cores sem esquema,
Sem controle no jogo.
Sem troca, sem troca,
Não, uma luz de alguém do tipo,
Precisa de ajuda, ir em frente,
À torre lá no céu.
Se sua esperança definhar,
Ou duvidar se iremos conseguir,
Levante a cabeça, será meu guia,
Vamos deixá-lo brilhar.
Apenas uma chance restou, então deixe rolar e deixe-os ir.
Eles vivem, respiram, não como escravo de uma máquina quebrada
Apenas uma chance restou, então segure-se e acredite
Um coração batendo não será de uma máquina quebrada.
Oh...
I'm still watching it, it's a masterpiece!
I JUST finished One shot Solstice and I can say with confidence that HOLY... SHIT. OH MY GOD. THIS IS SO FUCKING GOOD HELLO???? IVE BEEN LISTENING TO THIS ONE REPEAT.
I started listening to this after finishing the two standard endings. It is funny how my view of this song changed from "hey, it's an awesome song about the game I'm currently playing" to painful nostalgia after Solstice...
So happy that there a people who know this game. A under-rated AMAZING GAME THAT DESERVES MORE ATTENTION
God damn this song hits hard after playing Oneshot for the first time recently, love the melodies and the lyrics, amazing job!
Thank god this is on spotify, I started checking out oneshot content 3 days ago and I already love it! This song is probably one of my favorite!
Niko I still miss you 🔥🔥🔥 1:20 is my favorite part
oneshot was the videogame experience of my life along with undertale and outer wilds. those games are simply amazing. probably never living them down. they all have well written stories..
i could go back and forth on how much i like all of them, but it'd be too long. hence why i rather say
so cool.
so cool.
so cool.
so cool.
PEAK! ABSOLUTELY PEAK
The idea of living people in a game has so many potentials for movies and tv shows
There’s a movie sorta like that, I think it’s called “Guy” and some NPC becomes half sentient and takes control of his game or something (can’t really explain the plot well)
so there's this anime called "Sword Art Online"
/j
Ive listened to this quite a few times. Maybe im just emotional, but this makes me want to cry. it captures to bittersweet element of the game so well, and i just wanna give niko and TWM a hug. they both need it. I feel like im right with Niko listening to this song, it captures the vibes so well. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK HGABINKLSESF
This is also really sad to me because it seems like TWM is singing this, commenting on Nikos journey, and just calling themself broken. I feel bad :
Exactly the same thing happened to me, plus whenever I hear it I also feel a chill in my back
God I love this!!! When I played oneshot, my brother was watching me play it. We got hocked up from the story, we “might” have cried when Niko misses home crying, we also got scared every time we close the game so we make sure to save it at the Bed so they are safe then continue tomorrow. When niko made me decide which one I will choose if it was me….I picked the sun, to put the lightbulb. When niko was gone I cried. I refused that ending, it won’t let me restart the game, so (spoilers) I deleted the safe file, and the story restarted, but it changed. That’s when I achieved the perfect ending…..without reading the little note on The file telling me to delete the safe file…..i did it without knowing what might happened.
WE MAKIN IT OUTTA NEW WORLD WITH THIS ONE 🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This game is beautiful, this song is beautiful, and if you haven’t played this game, do it NOW. *BLINDLY*. My biggest regret was knowing how the beginning of the game went. Honestly this game needs spoiler warnings I’m front of all its videos more than Undertale did.
Also, if you have it available, use a PC to play, the game is meant to be played on PC and had to be given a desktop on the console version for a reason.
Yeah, this is the only game that makes me cry other than other sad games I’ve played
I've beaten Oneshot 3 days ago. I cried my eyes out. Beautiful game and a Beautiful song about it
This song is so awesome that I can't stop listening to it:]
Yeah
Lots of Nikos spotted and OneShot referenced
BROKEN MACHINE JUST BEATED 1M VIEWS!
CONGRATS!!!
solstice leaves you with this unfillable void in your heart like any other story game
If only I was recommended this video sooner. I have been playing this song on loops for god knows how long now. The connections to the story are perfect AND the lyrics dont spoil the story. I had chills the first time I watched the video and I'm still getting chills listening to it.
Wait what?? Oneshot?? It’s good to see my favorite game get some attention from time to time but I did not see this coming.
Благодаря этому видео я познакомился с One Shot, спасибо :3
The "You only got the oneshot" to the "A heart that's beating can't belong to a broken machine" stuck in my head
