about

-The character comes out of the storm a little rough. The track opens with them having a flashback while in a fever dream. Will they learn something new about who they are or how they got there?
-Made with Tim Miles help on production, and Blackmage on lyrical concept and feature.
-The song is one giant reference to Dungeons & Dragons.
-The concept behind Meta Gaming: in-game, especially working with the same storyteller, we often know more about how to 'work the system' than our character should (you learn their habits and patterns). Is it possible to have this same sort of awareness of the patterns of fate in real life?

lyrics

[Fever Dream/Flashback sound FX]
[Plane drive-by sound FX]

Okay…mmm
Meta Gaming, meta gaming
Meta gaming, meta gaming,
Meta gaming, meta gaming
I feel like I’ve played this game before (okay)
I feel like I’ve played this game before (yeah)
I feel like I’ve seen these things before
I feel like I’ve seen these things before (I feel like, I feel like, I feel like AH)
(Alright)

We’re all different
But we’re all the same (pretty much)
It’s not how you play the game
It’s how you run your character (yup)
NPC’s are pleased to
Watch you wither worthlessly
To them, you’re just a caricature (man)
So let haters hate, (hate)
They have little say in whether you’ll be great (nah)
An arch-nemisis, that shit is just fate
The worst part is, it’ll be one you create (damn)
If you drop to zero, that’s okay (cool)
But don’t get to negative ten, there’s no escape
And most situations can be solved with Gate (get out!)
Just pick your deity and don’t forget to pray (please god!)
Worship comes in shades I mean, it’s not all grey
Knowledge is parallel, so focus and learn your trade
Pick your class, and then stick to that
Just play your role and complete your task
Learn to accent your stats,
Everybody ain’t the strongest,
Everybody ain’t fast, gotta learn the
Difference that splits intelligence and wisdom
Intelligence is planting the fruit,
Wisdom is knowing when to pick em
NEVER play the victim
Unless you’re ALL charisma
THEN learn to play the victim..
In 16 bars, this is one man’s wisdom, now
Get on out there and GET ‘EM!

-Grant..
-Sup, Yanyo?
-I don’t think I’m nervous, so much about the trip..
-Yeah
-Or about our talent, so much as I am, just
worried about getting out here and dealing with these savages, bro
-(Hahaha) Well I guess that’s fair, but we’re gonna have deal with them no matter the course, right?
-Yeahhhhh….yeah.
-(together) Stay the course.

They keep saying I’m not supposed to know
They keep saying I’m not supposed to know
They keep saying I’m not supposed to know
So why does it feel like I’ve done this before?
They keep saying there’s no way to know
They keep saying there’s no way to know
They keep saying I’m not supposed to know
Why does it feel like we’ve been here before?

Wanna earn more, take less
There’s always gonna be fat loot
And if you earn it right (heyyy)
You’ll get what you need and
What you want too
But if it seems too good to be true
It probably is, no joke
I’ve seen one too many kids
Scamming just one too many folks
Sometimes people only want you to lead
So you can be the one who sets off the trap
That’s just a fact, so I don’t need
Augury or a dice roll for that
If you’re out hunting demons, then
Don’t hold back, (no) but
Sometimes waiting will (will)
Move you forward on the track

They keep saying I’m not supposed to know
They keep saying I’m not supposed to know
They keep saying I’m not supposed to know
So why does it feel like I’ve done this before?
They keep saying there’s no way to know
They keep saying there’s no way to know
They keep saying I’m not supposed to know
Why does it feel like we’ve been here before?

[Fever Dream/Flashback sound FX]
[heavy breathing / cough]
Oh my god.. (hahah) yes!
Woo! Oh..
I just remembered my name ..! (haha)
I just-…
Oh no..
Ohhh no,
Oh…[sigh]
Where is Yanyo..
