Tally Hall - Ruler of Everything (LYRICS) 

i love the way the clock is shown to skip rigjt back to 8, it makes it feel like we're stuck in a loop which is very fitting for this particular song

me wondering how much longer I would have taken to realise “mechanical hands” meant the hands of a clock if this video didn’t have a clock in the background

The clock in the background is such a good touch for the song

I tried singing the fast part and my dog started floating

Now. Now it has become a meme. One decade and a half after it began existing had it finally become a meme. It just shows that no matter how old something can be, it can easily be memed. It just has to be noticed first.

It took me a while to realize that there are two characters talking to each other in first chunk of the song. One is an arrogant human (higher pitched voice) and the other is Time (lower pitched voice). Both declare themselves to be the ruler of everything at the start of the song, but then Time puts the human's ego in check. After that, the fast voice gives a word of wisdom not to freak out about the passage of time and just enjoy being part of a great never-ending cycle.

Memes always lead me to the greatest bangers i swear to god

i just discovered this song recently due to memes, and i need to make sure i'm not overthinking stuff, is 0:57 to 1:38 a conversation? like, between the high voice and the low voice

As a long time tally hall fan, its nice to see that memes are reintroducing tally hall to the internet.

Memes and shitposts aside... This, I mean, *THIS* ... Is pure cosmic surrealism. Especially the first half.

Now this, this is surrealism

I just realized that time is the "Ruler" of everything in two ways; not only does it have control and power over our lives, but it's also a 'ruler,' used measure 'everything' in relation to the start of the universe

This sounds like 3 different songs.

1:48 Top 5 rappers Eminem was too afraid to diss

“girls tend to stutter when talking to people they like” girls talking to me: 1:48

this song sounds like a schizophrenic person who lost track of time

This didn't have to slap so hard

its kinda sad to realize time controls everything. It is our worst enemy. Think about any problem in your life and 99% of the time its that you dont heave enough time or its taking too much time too happen

Hot take: The song is about the personification of time itself, experiencing what does it feel like to be a human being.

This is a reminder for me but the fast part is at 1:48

"Without looking down, Gliding around, Like a bumbling dragon I fly. Scraping my face on the sky." This line, I can very much relate to.

"It's Wednesday my dudes..." 0:45

3:11 Did... Did you guys hear that?!

You guys should see the genius on this as well as the reversed version! No but seriously theres a couple hidden lyrics if you reverse it, (not just the jackrabbit part)! and the genius just gives you something to think about hahah..

Me: tries to sing the fast part The demon I summoned: ...

This whole song is a bop, but 1:48... HOLY SHIT

I already have plans that are probably not gonna go through. When I make a not-so popular band, I'm apart of the band for a while. I then announce I'm leaving. I'm normally seen playing an instrument in this hypothetical band, however... The last concert I'm in comes along. The place is packed. They acknowledge my leaving, and I say we have one last song. I take the mic. *And the familiar ticking comes...*

this song makes me think of an average everyday joe with the most textbook plain American life however, he longs for something more and begins having a god complex and becomes a serial killer. this song represents what’s going on in his mind.

"Do you hear the clock stop when you reach the end" "No, you know it must be never-ending" "Comprehend if you can, but when you try to pretend to understand" "You resemble a fool, although you're only a man" "So give it up and smile" We'll all know the answer one day lads, Enjoy your life while you're here.

This song kinda reminds me of Dr. Clef from the SCP foundations ( especially “he shot at the sun” and “Do you like how my face disintegrates into chalk” )

Juno must've been pissed mad to shoot at the sun like shit what did the sun do to you

This song just gave me the greatest idea for a novel/ story ever, if it ever gets anywhere, I'll make sure to credit this lol

This resembles how time is neverending, meaning we can go on and on forever and ever without no end. You keep living a same life over and over

tally hall is the ruler of freaking bangers

The memes brought me here, and memes aside, I found my new favorite song. Thanks guys

This songs "trinity" Time Insanity Humanity

The part where everything turns fast is such a tonal shift from the song... But still sounds great.

this song clears my brain yet makes me think of everything at the same time

I have had a crush for about a year now and he favorite song always changes and today this is her favorite song and today is the first time she told me she loved me this song will now forever have a VIP seat on my heart

This had no business slapping this hard

Don’t know if anyone will see this since I’m just finding memes of it but my take on the song is that it could be viewed from 2 perspectives. The first being the perspective of being a person who lives a normal life being slipped into a “trance” of materialism that makes him think that owning nice things and having a standard nice life are important things on the surface but struggles with his inner voice telling him that everything he does is completely pointless because of the never ending march of time and it slowly eats away at him as he realizes how fleeting life is and that he could take on at any time. As the thought of this drives him insane, he begins to realize how unimportant his life and everything else is but also comes to think that being afraid of his life being worthless shouldn’t really bother him because it’s not like any of it concerns him personally anyways since he will die long before everything, if it ever does, stops and so he goes back living normally, presumably to go through this loop over and over in his life or perhaps it is signified that all throughout time, with sentience comes with this dilemma.

This could unironically be a perfect name for a main villain jojo stand

Is it just me, or does this remind you of Don't Hug Me I'm Scared?

This song gives me Nyarlathotep vibes. A cosmic being with infinite power manipulating humanity and laughing as it all comes crashing down.

BRUH I DIDN'T KNOW THE MECHANICAL HANDS PART WAS A SONG LYRIC I JUST SAW SOMEONE POST THAT PART OF THE SONG ON TUMBLR A FEW YEARS AGO AND I THOUGHT THEY WERE JUST MEMEING!!!!!

best song ever now in lyric form?!?!?!?!

"Comprehend if you can, but when you try to pretend to understand you resemble a fool although your only man so give it up and smile"

0:52 i can't be the only one that thinks this sounds exactly like Jerma985

This song is so incredibly intriguing to me, I could listen to it over and over again and still don't understand what's even going on. I don't really comprehend what this song is about but I still feel like it speaks to me

“Like a bumbling dragon I fly, scraping my face on the sky” I love this line ❤

Comments are back! I thought they were gone for a bit I love coming back to enjoy this song. And thanks again for the lyrics

tally hall fans praying to a clock (it’s the ruler of everything):

Thank you, vulpes_iridis, very cool!

Feels very The Mind Electric.

I wonder what a Stand based off this song would be like? I mean we've already got a lot of time manipulating stands

I was told about this song by my grandfather, who knew he has such great taste in music

I turned it to 2x speed and the “flibbity jibber jabber” part- I CANT EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT HES SAYING 💀💀

If you can actually repeat everything here 2:10-2:25 at x2 speed I will actually give you all my savings

Juno was mad; he knew he'd been had So he shot at the sun with a gun Shot at the sun with a gun Shot at his wily one only friend In the gallows or the ghetto In the town or the meadow In the billows, even over the sun Every end of a time is another begun You understand, mechanical hands are the ruler of everything The ruler of everything I'm the ruler of everything in the end Do you like how I dance? I've got zirconium pants (Consequential enough to slip you into a trance) Do you like how I walk? Do you like how I talk? Do you like how my face disintegrates into chalk? I have a wonderful wife, I have a powerful job She criticizes me for being egocentric (You practise your mannerisms into the wall) If this mirror were clearer, I'd be standing so tall (I saw you slobber over clovers on the side of the hill) I was observing the birds (circling in for the kill) I've been you, I know you, your façade is a scam You know you're making me cry, this is the way that I am I've been living a lie, a metamorphical scheme Detective undercover, brotherhood, objective, obscene Oh, no, no, oh, yeah Do you hear the flibbity jibbity jibber jabber With an "Oh my god I've got to get out of here or I'll have another "Word to sell, another story to tell "Another timepiece ringing the bell" Do you hear the clock stop when you reach the end? No, you know it must be neverending Comprehend if you can But when you try to pretend to understand You resemble a fool, although you're only a man So give it up and smile Do you hear the flibbity jibbity jibber jabber With an, "Oh my god I've got to get out of here or I'll have another "Word to sell, another story to tell "Another timepiece​ ringing the bell" Do you hear the clock stop when you reach the end? No, you know it must be neverending Comprehend if you can But when you try to pretend to understand You resemble a fool, although you're only a man So give it up and smile You understand, mechanical hands are the ruler of everything The ruler of everything I'm the ruler of everything in the end Without looking down, gliding around Like a bumbling dragon I fly Scraping my face on the sky Oh, no, no, oh, yeah

The sun: did you just shot at me? Did you just SHOT, AT, ME????

* me vibing to the song * *Do you like how I dance I've got Zirconium pants :D* I laugh so hard when he says this its so silly

All of my favorite songs get flooded by memes amazing

Okay at first I thought they said "He shot at his son with a gun." So that's the only reason why I'm here

You make really good lyric videos, you’ve earned a subscirber

WE BE RULLING EVERYTHING WITH THIS ONE🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯💯💯✅✅✅✅✅

Its wierd to think about how i discovered this song from a random shitpost and it ended up changing my life. Never once has a song been so goofy and lighthearted and yet also affect me this much, its crazy

i have never heard of this artist until today when like 5 of their songs popped up in my recommended, bless the algorithm

I am literally obsessed with this song that ive learnt to keep up with the pace of the entire video and leatn all the lyrics by heart 😅

It's such a crime that the excerpt from the meme cuts out right before the actual best part.

If Bill Cipher had a villain song, this would be it.

Lyrics Heh just kididng, this song is amazing wth i love tally hall

i just realized that this song is about how time rules everything

For the people that played it: this feels like the story of Enderal. Especially the beginning it's amazing, making me feel things

This is a true banger, this song gives me a lot of inspiration to things

Anyone know any songs that sound like this part? 0:28 it’s been stuck in my head but I can’t find any songs like it.

Eminem been real quiet since this dropped

Tally hall: what is the music genre? Never heard of it.

This isn’t a song about time btw, it’s just a dude being berated by some deep voiced nihilist.

1:48 is when the fast part begins but I’m putting up a comment because I keep messing up at 1:58 so I can learn that part

I feel dumb I was like “sounds like the people who did the bidding” ...it is

The fast part is absolutely amazing imo 1:48

i love tally hall so much. this song and Variations on a Cloud are my favorite songs.

"Juno was mad, he knew he'd been had, so he shot at the sun with a gun" America

I'll donate my liver, lungs, kidney, and my heart just for the band to reunite.

My dollar general was playing this and I was soooo happy😊😊

Heres my meaning for the song: It about how we have absolutely no control over time while also saying how time is a facade we made up to try and explain things

If the SCP universe became some sort of netflix series, after it end dramatically, i want this to be the outro. The areas they mention like the towns, could show Task Forces that correspond to the area. The end of a time is another begun, counterbalance! Mechanical hands, Church of the Broken god. Ruler of everything, The Scarlet King. In the end, SCP~5000. Etc etc, idk what else after it.

I like how In the song you can hear the beat reverse which fits with the clock going back to eight making it feel like a time loop

Sounds like the jackbox trivia announcer

HOLY SHI this is SOME SPIRITUAL PSYCHEDELIC LYRICS. I RESONATE watht he helllllllllll he is awoken

IN THE SITUATION OF A REALM BENDING 20-D10 AVOID ALL MOUNTAINS AT ANY COST.

This is really cool! The clock is really fitting. At 0:42 It's not "You understand. Mechanical hands are the ruler of everything." It's actually "You understand mechanical hands. Your the ruler of everything." Also at 1:06 it's not "Do you like how my face disintegrates into chalk?" It's "Do you like how my face disintegrates with your shot?"

The Virgin Clobber Slobberer vs the Chad Bird Watcher

*MMM* this is so damn good and underrated!!

hot take: this song has a hidden meaning about narcissism. the narcissist is the higher pitched voice, the person who knows the narcissist's ways is the lower pitched voice, trying to call out the narcissist

Do you like how I walk? Do you like how I talk? Do you like how my face Disintegrates into chalk?

Here y’all go (Compliments of google! So it might not all be right ;u;) Juno was mad; He knew he'd been had So he shot at the sun with a gun Shot at the sun with a gun Shot at his wily one only friend In the gallows or the ghetto In the town or the meadow In the pillows even over the sun Every end of the time is another begun You understand Mechanical hands Are the ruler of everything (ahh) Ruler of everything (ahh) I'm the ruler of everything In the end (Backwards: Ohohohohohohoho he's a jack rabbit he's running away look at him he's jumping around!) Do you like how I dance? I've got zirconium pants! Consequential enough To slip you into a trance Do you like how I walk? Do you like how I talk? Do you like how my face Disintegrates into chalk? I have a wonderful wife I have a powerful job She criticizes me for being egocentric (ha ha ha) You practice your mannerisms Into the wall If this mirror were clearer I'd be standing so tall I saw you slobber over clovers on the side of the hill I was observing the birds Circle in for the kill I've been you I know you Your facade is a scam You know you're making me cry This is the way that I am I've been living a lie A metamorphical scheme Detective undercover brotherhood Objective: obscene Oh no, no Oh yeah (1:48 is fast part. For me. I’m trying to remember it all ;-;”) Do you hear the flibbity jibbity jibber jabber With an oh my god I've got to get out of here or I'll have another Word to sell Another story to tell Another time piece ringing the bell Do you hear the clock stop when you reach the end No You know it must be never ending Comprehend if you can But when you try to pretend to understand You resemble a fool Although you're only a man So give it up and Smile Do you hear the flibbity jibbity jibber jabber With an oh my god I've got to get out of here or I'll have another Word to sell Another story to tell Another time piece ringing the bell Do you hear the clock stop when you reach the end No You know it must be never ending Comprehend if you can But when you try to pretend to understand You resemble a fool Although you're only a man So give it up and Smile You understand Mechanical hands Are the ruler of everything (aah) Ruler of everything (aah) I'm the ruler of everything In the end Without looking down Gliding around Like a bumbling dragon I fly Scraping my face on the sky Oh no, no Oh yeah (I know it’s a lyric video but sometimes this is easier ^_^)

3:00 2018: scraping my face on the sky Ruler of Everything- Tally Hall 2024: SCRAPING MY FACE ON THE SKY COGNIZABLE WOUNDS THAT FAILED TO BE FOUND... WELLLLL DONEEEEE!

Who else memorized the rap part and can proudly sing it now

encapsulates how i feel about life.
