Man this is actually just really good. The slow shift over the course of the song as it becomes clear that its about the Mimic rather than Springtrap is incredibly well done

A Mimic song masquerading as a Springtrap song? That's such a good idea!!

JT did what 50% of the Fnaf community hasn’t and actually read the books

THIS IS SO GOOD HOOOLY HELL

I had a "What the fuck?" moment. Dragging my jaw around the house while listening to this because it came out of nowhere and knocked me out like a baseball to the back of the skull.

Okay but can we talk about how this is a rap in 7/4, do you realize how hard it is to rap in an odd time signature, huge huge props for that.

List of book references 0:49 - Edwin's factory (The Mimic) 0:52 - The destroyed Mimic after Edwin hit him (The Mimic) 2:11 - Tiger Rock (Tiger Rock) 2:15 - Mimic's spider form (Tales from the Pizzaplex epilogues) 2:57 - Mimic1 program (The Mimic, technically most TFTPP Stories) 3:15 Coat hanger closet (The Mimic) 3:19 Fridge with a decapitated head in it (The Mimic) 3:22 Murdered construction workers (Tales from the Pizzaplex epilogues) 3:24 The Mimic tearing apart construction workers (Tales from the Pizzaplex epilogues)

William in Hell: I feel like someone’s pretending to be me……might need to come back again

"Trust is an edge, and I've been taught to cut with it." Daaaamn, that line hits like a bloody truck. Brilliant song from start to finish!

“Don’t we all want a distraction, from that which we have no protection, like your own reflection” is such a banger line

Holy shit! The idea of disguising a Mimic song as a Springtrap song is actually genius. You’re also one of the first Mimic/Ruin songs I’ve seen actually reference or directly show scenes or things from the books! Great song!

I wasn't sure how i fealt about the mimic becoming the new villain but after watching this, i think the concept of him is actually genius, all the "evil robots" we've encountered throughout this franchise have always been possessed by some vengeful spirit, but the concept of having a new villain being an actual evil robot is just very smart to me imo because it simply just works for this franchise

Everyone pointing out how this is a mimic song in the end. But in truth this is still very much an afton/springtrap song. Its his legacy. No matter where you look, he has influence. From the old days of fazbear up to current day with the security breach era. Afton is there. You can never remove him. He and his legacy is pretty much eternal

“Now I’m the real one! You’re the reflection!” Mimic, buddy, those are some fighting words to William.

I love how with most, if not all, JT's songs, they reference other songs/media(like here, they say "coming back for another bite" at 2:07)

The mysterious tune, the charade of being a song about springtrap to transition to one of the mimic, the references to the books and to the movie and even to your other songs.. this is just perfect.

I love the fact that the song slowly starts gaining more beats and becoming more of a song more then just a poem. Almost like the song is learning and building onto it like the actual mimic does. Its amazing

"Cuz i'm the director, my actors are talentless, so let me control' em, make sure no one is autonomous" I LOVE THIS SONG ALREADY

Love the slow and deliberate shift from Afton to the Mimic. Instantly added to my playlist.

AYO the way this started as if it would be manly about Springtrap/William Afton but then near the mid way point it changed into being a music video focused about the Mimic was awesome plus all the references to the Mimic’s story was really cool to see with incredible animation 💜💜💜

I love how all the signs its a mimic song and not a springtrap song is already in the visuals and lyrics from the very beginning. The song recontextualizes itself as you listen to it in real time.

Huge fnaf lore nerd and I love what this song and animation represents. It’s the mimic mimicking William Afton. It’s a REFLECTION of William in the mimic!

This Looks Incredible and Realistic that I can see this in a Movie or a Game with these Graphics, plus this just shows that Afton will always be the Biggest Antagonist that’s Difficult to get rid of in Lore and Adaptation.

1:23 "To make me whole I'll break your soul like a lobotomist, But on an atomic level I'm the anatomic mess." Spitting bars like always💯👌

Description says "Hope you all enjoy our newest song about Springtrap...*OR IS IT??*" The fact that they know what they're doing oh my god this has so much genius put into it.

I can't believe how good JT has got over these years. I'm kinda jealous lol

suce a genuine song, we really think that it talks about springtrap at the beginning, then we are confused of why we see so much the mimic at the middle, and then just understand that this song is actually the mimic thinking that he's william Afton, so freaking intelligent song, the song is good, animation is good, Bravo !

"I'm stronger in the dark What ironic confidence!" I Really dig that line 🔥

This is way more than a springtrap song. It’s an Afton and Mimic song. Afton’s finally gone just for the mimic to pick up where he left off

I loved, how all the highscores changed, when the mimic walked past the arcade machines

Yeah, on the playlist. Also that transition where Mimic crawled out of a digitalized SpringTrap suit holy crap...

Lyrics: [Intro] Back for an encore, I'll always come for it (I know you wanted it) Death is at the door, I won't succumb to it (Don't bother knockin' it) I'm putting on a show, I hope my costume fits (Call in all the kids) It will be grandiose (Like a narcissist) [Verse 1] I am anomalous in my robotic processes I put the life in the party, but I'm the opposite I look at my reflection and I'm one with it Just like the depth of any mirror, there is none to it Don't-don't-don't put your trust in me, you won't be comforted Trust is an edge and I've been taught to cut with it All for the leverage, I'll prop myself up with it 'Cause this is showbiz, so a showman's all you're gonna get You might just find the skeletons I've closeted What's inside the box? Break the lock right off of it Take this rusty husk, dust the cobwebs off of it My cover's slipping, yet I've simply come too far to quit Behind this friendly facade, evil is dominant Ego balloonin', impugnment ain't poppin' it 'Cause I'm the director, my actors are talentless So let me control 'em, make sure no one is autonomous Here comes a one-man marching band See this army of puppets, I'm in charge of them With a performance so electric, I'm conducting them They wanted out, but now they've sprung another lock again Look upon my face, I just adopted it Familiar is the pain, I've come to foster it To make me whole, I'll break your soul like a lobotomist But on an atomic level, I'm the anatomic mess My coffin is a walking grave, how preposterous I'll lead a posthumous parade, so cacophonous How pompous a display, did I say I'm a narcissist? No wonder why I hate to stay anonymous But I'm not dropping this charade 'til I've exhausted it I keep the monster underneath, but he's prosperin' I'm stronger in the darkness, what ironic confidence The kind of artist who is carvin' out his audience [Pre-Chorus] Is this all just a projection Or another misdirection? Don't we all want a distraction From that which we have no protection? [Chorus] Like your own reflection Looking back from the other side You thought you knew him, what a deception Coming back for another bite if it's inhuman No imperfection like a mask I pull off at night My every movement beyond perception and all detection Are you the real one or my reflection? [Bridge] Red, his hands, and dead his eyes Blueprints stained, it's our doom designed With these gift-wrapped reveries, disguising lies Time to tie the bow and then enlighten lives [Verse 2] I'm not a person, I'm just been impostin' him Call me the big bad, I'm one more blow from bustin' in 'Cause I've been tryin' to warn you, a child cried wolf But people are sheep, pulled their eyes behind wool Studied sadistic psychopathy, got my doctorate Buckle up 'cause I'm no longer inoperate My precious puppet turned on me, and now I'm strung to it But if you thought you stopped my heart, you put the jump in it Nobody bother to scream, because I'll muffle it You're stuck with us in here, just like we're stuffed in it Look at what we've become, something amalgamous If you don't wanna play your part, you will, 'cause I'll insist I built a body count on hollow promises I got a list of 'em, it's so long, it's almost bottomless Sorta like Santa Claus, but I don't come with gifts Nonetheless, once I find your line, I'm crossin' it Just like a virus in your system, I've corrupted it I kinda find it like a job, so when I'm punchin' in I look forward to my shift, but when I'm off again I'll rip off my skin because the job is all I am [Chorus] Is a reflection Comin' back from the other side Your point of view is just a deception Coming back for another bite to become human I am pretendin' like a mask I pull off at night My every movement gave you direction, then you forget them Don't fight your demons, you must respect them I'll make you need them, if not invent them Now I'm the real one, you're the reflection!

The sound design on this is just hypnotic, it’s weirdly uncanny which fits perfectly with the subject of the song; I can’t wait to listen to this with headphones!!

This was actually better than I expected it to be, and I already had high expectations. My jaw was literally dropped at the end. Funny thing is, the more I watched the more I wondered "will there ever be an end to the story?" Nothing is worse for a story, in my opinion, than when an author doesn't finish a project for one reason or another and leaves the audience without closure in the process.

This is probably one of the best FNAF songs yall have made BY FAR

disguising a mimic song as a springtrap song just as mimic disguised himself as springtrap in security breach is genius

the fact that this was a mimic song in disguise is such a cool fucking idea things like the voice being similar to the springtrap song but glitched up and screwed up was such a cool hint at the start

This song is a fucking bop, visually incredible, and conceptually great. Probably #1 on my list of JT fnaf songs because how great everything about it is.

THIS IS INSANEEEE ALL THE STORY REFERENCES TO MIMIC'S CHARACTER IS AMAZING!!! At this point, this is more of a Mimic song edit: OKAY IT IS A MIMIC SONG WE'VE BEEN FOOLED but holy crap did Harry or the team do their research, spider mimic, tiger rock, the fridge and coat hanger references go CRAZY HARD. I LOVE YOU FOR THIS JTMUSIC!!! the lyrics go so hard and really make Mimic's character shine.

“Trust is an edge, and I’ve been taught to cut with it” I love how that one line perfectly sums up Afton’s utterly remorseless and evil nature. The guy literally takes advantage of children’s love for him just so he can brutally kill them for fun.

Lyrical artistry: The better the lyrics, the harder it is to rhyme them, but in this case both the rhymes and the eloquence are on point. Amazing stuff!

PHENOMENAL!!

often times I think: what if Scott stopped? what if he didn't release a final game? because that's what FNAF was meant to be, his final game. and look where we are now: imagine what we would have missed out on without that final game. because of his "last game" we got Matpat and JT Music and Markiplier and hundreds of other things, good or bad. anyways I'm surprised a song about Springtrap got me that deep in thought

This song with headphones is so good I couldn’t stop rewinding

Clever idea hiding a song about the mimic under a Springtrap one. It was compelling the whole way through. Nice job. The animation was stunning too!

The song of mismatched clustered fragments made into a mask of what he’s trying to convey but every mask slips, revealing who this song is really about. An absolutely spectacular song amazing work from everyone

2:12 Tiger Rock is here. LETTSSSS GOOOOOO

The fact this is disguised as a Springtrap song is so so clever, for a second I thought you were one of the people to believe Afton was Mimic, but no it was all a trick

Fact that it’s actually the mimic deceiving us in both the video and title is genius

genius song.. the eerie feel and the hints getting stronger of it becoming a mimic song impersonating and BECOMING the ‘reflection’, youre a legend.

No clue if it's just me, but I hear parts of the FNAF 3 trailer in the first minute. It honestly fits so well Perfect song

You dont realize how much evil SpringTrap has influenced until you watch this.. he had contigencies for his contigencies... cant wait to see some of them in the next blumhouse sequel!

A well-done song and video about the Mimic! I find it funny that before Security Breach, many fans thought Vanny was gonna be a copycat killer but in reality, the Mimic was the Afton-obsessed impersonator. Love how the song and animation references the books and has some hints of the movie visually.

I have no idea how this isn't getting more praise, the animation is absolutely insane and the song is in such a cool style! I love when yall experiment with the music, it always pays off. The music video is genuinely one of the most impressive FNaF related things I've ever seen. It feels like the crazy payoff for everyone who actually read the books. I think this single handedly reignited my hope for the FNaF franchise, everyone who worked on the song and video deserves a ton of credit :]

2:10 I love these references 😭😭

Is no one gonna talk about how he used the same rhyme scheme for the whole song? This is so cool! I love good rhyme and how artist use the rhyme! Honestly a masterpiece!

I love this, BUT MAN... Are we looking at one of the best FNAF animations? This is visually beautiful!!!!

I have no idea about any FNaF lore beyond the fourth game, but this is just incredibly well done all around. Fantastic song.

Might be one of the best fnaf songs of all time 😅

This animation is fucking awesome! You’re so fucking cool Harry!

I like how some of the lines he sounds like he's gasping for air or trembling in pain something I've never seen someone else do

i literally cant stop listening to this song guess you could say i... *always come back* ...i'll see myself out

I..... definitely am gonna be watching this like an embarrassingly amount of times from here on out OMG and seeing TIgerRock come to life omggggggg Edit: I ALWAYS COME BACK to this video

The 7/4 is fucking amazing, and I'm genuinely proud of how far JT has come with his music, and the Mimic song hiding under the facade of springtrap is genuine musical (and lyrical) genius. Not only was the windup for the conclusion downright monsterous, but the damn song's slowly seeping into the truth which is MIMIC and not SPRINGTRAP is the epithome of suspense for Fnaf. "Look at what *we've* become, something *Amalgamous!* If you *don't want to play your part, you will 'cuz I'll INSIST."* (I swear Insist means *Resist* or *Persist* in this context.) Then to add on to all of it, it actually SOUNDED like something the "MIMIC" would SAY. Even without the ROBOTIC VOICE, it being in 7/4 gave it more of an OFFSETTING TONE, and I genuinely fanboyed over this cause I KNOW it was on purpose. You just brought me back into the Fnaf Franchise with this one. Just went and begun rereading the books again lmfao.

This is surprisingly good, probably the best one you’ve all made, good job over there at JT Music

I haven't felt this way about a song or an animation in a loooong time! Every piece of this masterpiece is amazing from the vocals and production of the song and the absolutely phenomenal job of Harry101Uk for the animation! Great job JT, Andrea, Harry, and anyone else who worked on this song.

I really like this style of making a song focused on a specific character rather than a game as a whole

This is such gold. The moment he rips his mask apart to show his skull? Daaaaaamn.

simultaneously one of the best fnaf animations and songs out there. i literally cant stop looping this

I love all of the little details and references to past songs, and to make it all the more sweet, they don’t stick within their own songs!

The lyrics are brilliantly crafted in this song to both match the mimic and afton - both of which putting on facades to hide what's underneath, it's extremely smart to interweave both of these into a single song that represents both the mimic and springtrap! It's very hard to tell which would be william and which would be the mimic and I love that about this song

That was super freaking amazing!!! I love how the song disguises itself as a Springtrap song before it shows its true colors: this is a Mimic song (or if you want to go deeper, it's an Afton and Mimic song), and I am all for it. The animation, vocals, and instrumental work super well together. I also really like how certain lyrics are reminiscent of Back for Another Bite!

“I’m one more blow from bustin in” PAUSE

Literally this is so crazy, There’s a few references, and the way it’s actually a mimic song is so good

Not only it just brings much flashbacks... But i just like when JT have this serious vib fully loaded with dark emotions and energy... It just gives chills

Dude this was so good the twist of it not being Springtrap is amazing

My goodness! I woke up to this, and I am loving the eeriness!

I love how you made a reference to your other FNAF RAP “Back For Another Bite”

All i can say is THE FLOW. THE FLOW. THE FLOWWWWWWWW it sounds offbeat almost at first but it has it's own rhythm it all comes together it's just such a good song.

Finally, an animator that actually knows Help Wanted and SB lore

The way this song shifts from Afton to the Mimic is genius, genuinely such an amazing song!!

William will always come back as long as mimic imitates his actions Nice song!

This is both brilliant and extremely unique. I'm not even sure how to describe the genre.

And for the first time ever, the mimic is pretty damn cool

I’ll be honest, I wasn’t too keen on this song when I heard it for the first time, the beat threw me off MASSIVELY!! But the more I listen to it, the more I realise that JT truly is the master of their trade. Amazing Job!!!

the music aside i am still wondering how in the ever loving father of universe did they manage to not only disgius a mimic song as a springtrap song + book referances but also make the animations so fricking awsome! i mean, just look at the blood drops and you'll just know they made something no one was able to make.

I've had this song on repeat for an hour between here and Spotify

This is perhaps my favourite fnaf song ever

oh my god at 0:34 when springtrap looks in the reflection of the knife, although its not a super clear image, if you pause right you can see that its actually the mimic's face! not real springtrap. this really makes me believe that this is a song about the mimic just disguised as a song about springtrap, which obviously makes total sense. Just going based off the lyrics, id like to believe the first half of the song is about afton's springtrap and then switches to how the mimic took the idea of springtrap and kept it alive. i think its a pretty good understanding/interpretation of how springtrap evolved into the mimic (thats the termology im using) as we know the mimic was both glitchtrap and burn trap (oh and duh i just realized at the very beginning of the music video, the spring trap we see is just the mimic and then the red eyes shift into the traditional white we see with afton springtrap, im also pretty sure the endoskeleton of the mimic also flashes for half a sec)

2:08 OMG I love the Back for another bite reference! This was a really good one JT!

The amount of wordplay in this song was AMAZING! i loved the eerie energy to it Two parts that stuck out at me specifically are the lines "Trust is an edge and I've been taught to cut with it" and the Big Bad Wolf scheme This is the JT I love to see!!

This quality is totally unreal

Absolutely phenomenal! I found you guys a few years back stumbling across your collection of FNAFS songs just shortly after sister location had come out and I love every single one of your songs. I am constantly on the lookout for the next great masterpiece dropped by JT Machinima. You guys rock! Keep it up!

@harry101uk this animation is incredible! It's up there with some of the biggest fnaf animatirs out there atm. The lighting and textures and smoothless are all incredible. It felt almost real at some points, especially woth the mimic. It just looked incredible. Great job!

every lyric in this song is so meticulously crafted to both sound good and hit hard. i always love how much work and energy you guys put into your songs! there is really nothing else like you guys on youtube

HOLY HELL, THIS IS FANTASTIC!! The song alone is great, but that animation too! Harry out here killing it! It's always amazing to me how much more polished and great fan projects come out compared to the media their based from.

2:13 BRO READS THE BOOKS, THAT'S CRAAAZZZYYY

This song is stuffed with wickedly good LORE !! It also SUITS the character pretty well

These new FNaF songs are way too good! I especially love all of the callbacke to the older songs, particularly Back for Another Bite called back to in this one, and that song calling back to the FNaF 2 and SL raps. Thats such an underratedpart of if these songs!

I also really like the effects on the voice, really pushes the mood.
