What are the Lyrics to Big Shot from Deltarune 

Food poisoning over. Let's talk about the FIN thing from the sweepstakes. (Run while you can). During the Spamton Sweepstakes Shayy asked Spamton what the lyrics of "Now's your chance to be a" were. I... think he meant to ask about the Bigshot Theme proper, but tomato potato. Spamton's then replied to this tweet with the following: "[Sucbscrube] TO SPAMTON [Lyrics Jeanist] NOW FOR $3,99! THE FIRST THREE LETTERS ARE [Free]! F I N" So uh... the thing you need to remember about Spamton is... he's not always... direct or reliable. Like a few tweets later he offers to gibe someone a free antivirus which uhhh he doesn't. (I think???) At the time, I assumed the joke here was that "FIN" is something you put at the end of like, a movie or a skit. Spamton loves to make jokes about death, so to me, this would be a bit like saying "The first three letters are: D I E." Just Toby poking a little fun since he knows we're all going to get the lyrics anyway in a few weeks, when the doll releases. Apparently I was naive! Okay so uhhh, I don't... know the full history of this meme because uhhhh, this... isn't really my area of expertise or... interest? (???? The internet is weird, I had to be told about this okay?) But apparently there was some kind of meme... uh... song... that uses Asgore's name in the title. The song is... kinda... sexually explicit so I'm not gonna go into detail. I will link it if you really need it but first: CONTENT WARNING SEXUALLY EXPLICIT AS HECK YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1P4EP5TI574.html I know I tend to be overly cautious about the content warnings, but this is not a joke. Anyways, uhhh this song does have lyrics, and they do indeed start with "F I N." To those of you thinking "Fin" stands for "fingers" uhhh you're.... probably right? But not in the way you think. I'm 90% sure "fingers" are not in the lyrics of the Big Shot theme proper. If you're wondering why I didn't mention it in the video uhhh I guess I didn't realize so many people trusted Spamton's tweets so much, so it didn't occur to me to cover it. (I wasn't aware of the Asgore-song-thing either so I was lacking information....) I feel like the mystery of this is better than the actual answer. But I promised I'd explain, so alas, I am bound by my strings.

I like how the entire time nearly everyone agreed on "it pulls the strings and makes them ring" being one of the lines and nothing else

I love how the entire identity of Mike in the community is completley supported by a single line of dialoge and a TV.

With regards to the line 'Until your heart gets ripped up', it's interesting to note that in the Spamton Neo's Heart Attack (the one where he attacks with his own heart), that the heart there seems to have a number of cracks across it's sprite, as if it was ripped or torn into bits. So if that is the case, maybe it's like a warning of some kind. If I remember correctly, Spamton was being helped by a person on the phone until eventually they stopped calling and everything failed for him. Maybe who ever was calling him was exploiting him in some sort of Parasitic way, his strings were pulled until he outlived his usefulness? I don't really know. Eitherway, a very interesting video.

There's the weird connection between Des, Spamton and guitars. "Pull the strings and make them ring" is how a guitar is played, Noelle comments on the puppet scarf about how it feels like guitar strings, and then there's find her.ogg from the Spamton sweepstakes.

wow, its actually super cool that a fan was able to isolate the vocals almost perfectly like that. i was totally prepared to call bullshit and say they just recorded it themself, it just seemed too perfect

I've always really liked the idea of the last line being "Tell me what you're really selling!" since that adds a sense of veiled desperation to Spamton and his theme, like an implication that his salesman bit is an act and he really doesn't have a clue what's going on. Buuuuut I have to admit "Tell you what you [[BIG SHOT]]!" does make a lot more sense and fits what we know about Spamton better.

If it's ripped up and he's waiting until you're all alone, it's not that he's isolating Kris from Susie and Ralsei but Kris from the player. The soul is our avatar and connection to Kris. He can't explain to Kris while we're watching. And with that in mind, it's interesting that it took us so long to hear this message clearly. Like it wasn't intended for us.

6:11 I always heard it as “Until your heart starts breaking up” referring to breaking up on a phone when one’s connection gets interrupted. Both meanings mean the same thing tho so idk how much weight it holds to be one or the other.

I still find it funny that when we got the Spamton plush, one of the first things people did was try to figure out what the lyrics were from the voicelines since it was finally isolated from the rest of the track

The 2 lines starting at 6:06 remind me of Ralsei's tendency to try to convince Kris to think about how someone else might be doing so the player is forced to look away & watch the other character & we never get to see what Ralsei & Kris do during those times. Suspiciously, it doesn't work in a Snowgrave run. Maybe because the entity inside Kris doesn't want them to tell Ralsei what they've been doing with Noelle.

"It pulls the strings and makes them ring" is directly quoted in the Spamton NEO battle flavor text, so I strongly believe he's saying that instead.

Scrolled the comments a bit and was REALLY surprised at no one making the connection between "I can't explain until you're all alone" and the scenes before and after Susie's prison break, where Ralsei and Kris are talking about something where we cannot see. It's not about Kris's friends, Spamton had already spoken to Kris when they seemed to be alone. It's about us. Spamton wants to free Kris by "Ripping up" the soul/player. This opens up the possibility that Kris's screaming after beating Spamton NEO wasn't because they were afraid, it's because they were hopeful. They wanted spamton to succeed in freeing them by destroying their soul.

I've always heard the first line as "I think he's coming for me, answer the phone" but the sweepstakes give a new light. As one of the responses, Spamton says the first 3 letters of the lyrics are "FIN", so there is a possibility it's something like "Fingers coming from the ends of the phone" which shows how Spamton was manipulated by the strange person on the phone. I think this makes more sense than the "I think he's coming for me, answer the phone" but I'll still always hear it as that. Edit: I realized the "I think he's coming for me, answer the phone" line isn't nonsense but might actually be correlating to one of Spamton's past experiences, namely how Spamton was desperately trying to talk to the voice of the phone before "he" (Swatch) kicked him out of his room, as if the voice was some savior. But, the fingers line has atleast some evidence (FIN) compared to the answer the phone line.

It's important to mention that the Spamton Twitter responses mention that the first three letters of the lyrics are "F I N". So as a result it's often assumed that the first line is "Fingers coming from inside the phone". (I've also seen "Fingers coming for me, answer the phone") Personally I hear "Fingers coming from inside the phone/A hand that waits until you're all alone/It pulls the strings and makes them ring/Until your heart starts to break up!" With the last part being a pun about how a phone connection can "break up" like how the voice at the end of the phone became garbage noise for Spamton.

“It pulls the strings and makes them ring” totally reminds me of Dess, and the fact that her page on the Deltarune website is a red guitar adds more credibility to the theory that she pulls spamton’s and possibly others’ “strings”

Also, the plush’s percentages of saying the “secret line” I’d say is pretty low. Still, not too low. A few days after I got one, I was spamming it by punching his face in, as you do, and it started saying the line. Knowing I hadn’t heard it before, it was at least uncommon enough to be unsettling even though it wasn’t too hard to get. I then heard what I believe to be a slightly different one a while after that, and have never heard it again since.

I wonder if "I can't explain til' you're all alone" was a reference to how we couldn't really hear the whole thing until the plush came out, like the player couldn't understand the message until they're no longer listening through Kris. Or maybe it's the other way around, like Spamton is trying to talk to Kris but they know the player is here too? The line "til' your heart gets ripped up" seems to imply that Spamton has some sort of plan to remove the player from the equation, since we communicate with the Deltarune world via Kris' soul. The part after the Spamton NEO fight makes me feel like Spamton is trying to reach out to Kris underneath the player's control for some reason. I wonder how that'll play into future chapters.

If you care at all: The cleanest way to isolate audio tracks is to make a 1-to-1 reproduction of the track and invert the wavelengths. Because the DAW Toby uses (FL Studio) is so accessible and the instruments he uses (mainly SNES soundfonts) are so recognizable, it's pretty easy to make a exact reproducion with some basic knowledge. Now that you have a copy without the vocals, align the two tracks and invert the wavelengths. The similarities in the two tracks will cancel out, and all you will be left with is the vocals. (This might not have been how Blake Gunner did it, but it's a common method. Audio nerd out.)

Really well documented! Just like the rest if the community I was trying to figure out what the lyrics in BIG SHOT are hiding and Gunner's video helpd a lot. It's still hard to grasp what spamton means but at least we have a generally accepted version I'm wondering what other types of voice/lyrics the future secret bosses will provide. Jevil uses several sentences, Spamton has lyrics in the music, I don't really know how much more variety is left

I definitely think that the last lyrics are "DON'T YOU WANNA BE A BIG SHOT?". It lines up better with some of his dialogue during the fight, specifically on the turn before his WRECK / SPEW move. "OR... DID YOU WANT TO BE... Did you wanna be..."

The lyrics of big shot are so interesting to me, I’m glad you’re talking about it!

I like how the section at 5:40 genuinely sounds good.

I've been wondering the same thing too. That part always goes hard so it usually ends up going over my head but then a day came where I actually paid attention and heard that there were some kind of lyrics

I really appreciate the attention to detail to fully subtitle this video, and the inventive way you expressed the indistinguishable parts of the lyrics.

I love your work. Please, never stop making videos :)

Hey Bread, something I think you missed. I think "until your heart gets ripped up" is an intentionally cut-off "apart". This is because "He pulls the strings and makes them ring" establishes a pattern of internal rhyme (heart/apart), and the meter feels like it's missing a syllable for that line. The cutoff, to me, suggests a loss of connection, as if "he" has cut the phone cord or jammed a wireless signal.

I think the 4th line is “until your heart starts to break up”, you can hear the “to” quite clearly in the official isolation, and it’s something the fanmade ones never managed to capture.

YES THANK YOU FOR COVERING THIS THE LYRICS HAVE ALWAYS CONFUSED ME also wow this is the earliest ive ever been to one of your vids

I love your content, the fact you make high quality videos not just about theories etc. but about the code itself, musical Easter eggs and other stuff makes your channel very unique compared to other deltarune content creators. Keep it up!

Maybe I'm just reinforcing my interpretation from whenever I first heard the isolated version, but the last line of the first verse is very clearly "until your heart turns RED HOT". That also rhymes with "Big shot" at the end of the second verse, which again makes me think that's definitely what it is.

Another great analysis video! Keep it up! Also, at the very end, it sounds like the Jevil laugh when they say something like, "SHARK TO SHARK, I WOULDN'T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY"

I Hope that toby fox prepared a big arg or mystery that will take us months to solve while we wait for chapter 6 (or 5 i don't know how many chapters he will release at one)

I always interpreted the lines as this, “I think they’re coming for me, answer the phone. I can’t explain till you’re all alone. It pulls the strings and makes them ring, till your heart starts to break [up].” Then the final changed line is “Tell you what you big shot.” Even still there are a lot of interpretations of specific lines but now we can safely say that most of the lyrics and general statement are able to be understood.

I'm so glad I finally have a solid understanding of what those lyrics say. Thank you!

Howdy! Will love to hear your take on this

This video would make a great archive for when/if there's more information about the song! Also I think in the plush version, it sounds more like "IT pulls the strings" which would keep the person more generic.

I remember the first night that I had gotten the plushie and was just pressing his head enjoying the cute voice lines and was nearly jumpscared hearing the hidden vocals officially isolated for the first time. It was such a cool little thing to have randomly play with the doll

Great analysis video! Thanks for uploading!

Happy New year HBC, here's to another great year of memes and theories!

7:23 OmG gUyS GaStEr

After the "FIN" came out, I've always heard it as follows: "Fingers coming through the ends of the phone." "The hands'll (hands-will) wait until you're all alone." "It pulls the strings and makes them ring." "Until your heart starts to break up!" I'm pretty far settled into this hearing, because if I'm not just reaching for once and this is supposed to allude to W.D. Gaster, then bringing up "fingers" and "hands" coming through the phone makes perfect sense. I've also always heard "break up" instead of "ripped up", which keeps with the frequent Phone theming as well. Rather than ripped up being not-the-most-related thing in the world. Or I'm just on conspiracy theory crack! Haha. Feel free to publicly execute me for my crimes. edit: I am aware that it says lyrics for "NOWS YOUR CHANCE TO BE A" because Shayy asked the wrong question. There are no words in that song that even have the letter F in them. I'm assuming they knew what he was really asking and answered for Big Shot instead.

Your interpretation of the lyrics is so eerie and I love it. I have no clue how you managed to get all of that. All I managed to hear was, “You’re all alone,” and the word heart. Kudos to you for putting in so much effort for this. Keep up the great work

Man, this is an amazing analysis on this one voice line from a song

Idk about now but before, Spotify actually had shown the lyrics and they are: I think it’s coming for me answer the phone, I can’t tell you till your all alone. He pulls the strings and makes them ring until your heart turns RED. Then it just repeats

6:45 how has no one talked about how this image is a magic eye if you look at it the right way you can see a image

Good video keep up the incredible content my Guy👍👍👍

Yayyy love your videos !!

I assumed “I can’t explain until you’re all alone” refers to needing to talk to Kris away from the player. They visited Spamton alone from their party in his shop, but still with the player.

I personally count about 8 syllables in the final line, as opposed to the 7 syllables in "until your heart gets ripped up". I interpret the lyrics as being "until your heart tends to break up", but that could still be off.

good work, love ur videos! :)

Been waiting for new Deltarune news so long I got to this 4 weeks late. I am so excited we finally got new crumbs!!

Weirdly, I hear "Until your heart can surrender", but I also hear where you're getting "ripped up." To me, I feel like Spamton might've wanted to get Kris "all alone" because he was suspicious of Kris's friends and/or he might've thought someone else (such as Gaster) was watching/listening.

I've listened to this track on Spotify, and for the fourth line it sounds MUCH more like he's saying "Until your heart turns red". Could just be me, but I think that's what it is.

i might not have a plush of my own, so i can't say for certain, but i constantly hear "til your heart tends to break up!" at the end of the first line when hearing the audio, even with new plushie recordings of it, but never the less, amazing video, have a good day

Great video! I didn't know about any of this

Great video as always. Personally i was always under the impression that the spamton lyrics said: “Fingers coming from the inside of the phone, A hand that’s waiting till’ you’re all alone, It pulls strings, it makes them ring, Until your heart gets ripped up” I always thought this was the line for the longest time because of how during Susie’s dialogue after the NEO fight she says: “*Puppets… strings… hands… *What the hell does any of that mean? *And the way he just, broke….” And that line from susie never really made any sense otherwise, considering there’s nothing else in the NEO fight that really references hands at all But then more recently the Spamton Sweepstakes “FIN” thing kinda confirmed it in my mind for me.

Oh. I've watched a video about this same topic just today.

this was new to me thank u bread for making this video

Dude your videos are really cool

4:54 I tested and you get it every 39 presses

3:55 for me, all I hear is “until your heart turns Red” but with more of an emphasis on the D (like its making a “-duh” sound.) Meaning “until you’re heart turns red with determination” because you would need a lot of determination in order to break your own strings. Or you would need someone else to do it for you and set you free (Kris)

It's fun when my favorite content creator uploads. Also, I've been listening to the audio repeatedly trying to figure it out and the ONLY line I'm certain of "Until your heart gets ripped up" and I'm personally of the opinion that *none* of the other lines are exactly correct... Though I have no idea what is actually being said...

Woah this is the second time I found your video with in an hour! :0 also, I love your channel. :) This stuff is hard, I can barely do theories, gg man

honestly it’s impossible for me to make any sense of the “think it’s coming for me, answer the phone” interpretation. I stumbled upon one source that said it was “fingers coming from the ends of the phone, the hand is waiting ‘til you’re all alone” and I haven’t been able to hear anything else since. it obviously connects to the hands susie takes note of after the fight, so I think it’s safe to assume the “hand” is our big symbol for whoever’s contacting the secret bosses. I don’t think there’s any mysterious characters connected to hands that we know of tho👽

I remember seeing somebody suggest in the comments of one of those videos that the first lyrics were actually "Think of something for me, answer the phone" and I think that's more accurate because that's exactly what the person on the phone did for Spamton, think up ideas for him and tell him about what was going to be popular. That's one of the reasons why Spamton has such a hard time once they cut contact, he relied on the caller for all business advice! Him begging for the person (Gaster or whoever) to answer the phone also goes with that, because after the falling out, he'd probably eventually return, hoping to contact that person again to "think of something" for him. Plus, the very first line in the more popular version makes him seem scared of the person on the line, and I don't really see that. Spamton seems to have a lot of feelings about what happened; angry, devastated, [desperate], but not scared. The only time I can think of where he might've seemed scared is when talking/trying to talk about The Knight. IDK, I just feel like Spamton isn't really scared of the caller per say.

happy new year halfbreadd

thanks even tho I never knew it existed I kept replying the sentence and the actual thing with the noise and 100 percent heard it it's amazing how people get this done

Before I watch this video here is my interpretation: I think he’s coming for me answer the phone I can’t explain until your all alone He pulls the strings and makes them ring Until your heart gets ripped out I think he coming for me (I think he’s coming for me) I can’t explain until your all alone Pull the strings and pull the strings and- Do you wanna be a big shot?

1:01 All my life I thought those were just random sounds

It's worth noting that one of the flavor texts during the battle with spamton NEO is "* It pulls the strings and makes them ring," which basically confirms that line.

You know it's a good day when half bread chaos posts a video

When Shayy asked in the QnA for the lyrics to Nows Your Chance To Be A, Spamton responded that the first 3 letters were FIN. If this was interpreted as the lyrics to Big Shot, it might be evidence for the first line being something like "Fingers coming from inside the phone".

Well I’m proud of myself for getting close enough to what the lyrics were way before we had even slightly clean audio. And shocked that I don’t think a single person got the “until your heart gets ripped out” part right (including me). I think the lyrics are implying someone pulled Spamton’s metaphorical heart strings (played with his emotions) until his heart was “ripped out” (emotional heartbreak). Which would be leaving him metaphorically heartless, fitting with his behavior in-game, Snowgrave route especially.

oh man thank you very much!! I spent about a year trying to guess what it was saying-

Mind blowing. I am all for this darker yet darker story/lore we are heading into… cannot wait.

5:25 3:50 Lisen to it this way: "Fingers coming from inside the phone" "A hand is playing until you are all alone" "It pulls the strings and make them ring" "Until your heart gets to break up"

I've always thought it was "until your heart starts to break up." That's always what I've heard even since I saw Blade Gunner's version. I can hear what people are talking about when they hear "ripped up" but I think "starts to break up" makes more sense, as spamton calls it a "heart-shaped object," your soul literally "breaks up" whenever you die in undertale or deltarune, the phrase my heart breaks tends to also mean that something is causing someone great sorrow or disappointment at something (maybe spamton missing his friends after his forceful isolation?), and of course, the facts that "breaking up" is something phones do, corrupting the sound going through, making this double as a pun, and also implying that whoever it was pulled Spamton's strings until his connection between him and others "broke up" (maybe his even his connection to the phone guy?) and the implication that he's telling this to Kris makes me wonder if the same thing will happen to THEM through us pulling their strings and making them "break up." Just some thoughts around the "until your heart starts to break up" interpretation!

Such a amazing channel

Listening at 0.5 speed, I got: fingers coming from the inside of the phone (spoken like "insideofthe" all at once) a hand is waiting till you're all alone (waiting could be waving? "a hand is waving / waiting till you follow along"?) it pulls at strings to make them ring (key difference being AT and TO are audible more clearly) until your heart "starts to break up" / "can surrender" (spoken either "startsto" all at once, or "can surrendah", I can hear "gets ripped awp" too. they all sound like a little kid speaking) TELL "YOU" WHAT YA- [BIG SHT] (this is super abrupt, and seems to get cut off. even slowed down the distortion gets in the way of the first half) edit: on one more listen, the second to last line could also be: "into your heart ___" or "until your heart turns __ __" it's a long shot but last line could also possibly be "until your heart starts to render". the "ooo" sound is very pronounced, which makes me doubt that 'surrender' is actually what they're saying, since they would need to be saying "soorendah". one more listen and it sounds like "and tell your heart to surrenda", which actually makes quite a bit of sense. "it pull at strings to make them ring and tell your heart to surrender". like tugging at someone's "heartstrings" so they'll give in to you. that seems pretty dang on theme for this game.

I always thought the last lyric said "I'll tell you what, you little slime!" Which not only matches a previous line by Spamton, but also sounds like it could be from a commercial.

1:19 deltarune fans when secret stuff appear from nowhere

I've always heard the last bit as "Don't you want to be a big shot?"

"I can't explain until we're all alone" Because they haven't been. Kris and spampton have not been alone yet because the player is always present. Also the first word is definitely fingers, like wingdings

If you remember, in the QnA the first three letters of the lyrics were given: F-I-N So this is my interpretation of the lyrics: _Fingers coming for me, please answer the phone_ _Hands waiting till' you're all alone_ _It pulls the strings, making them ring_ _Until your heart breaks up!_ This song, in my view, is not about Gaster. It's about the player controlling Kris. We are "it", we are the "hands".

Spamton on the twitter's Q&A that the lyrics start whit the letters "F I N"

yup man this is the video ive always wanted in my entire life. thank you so much. this video has changed my life. this is not a joke. Please

one of the lines in the dialogue box is “It pulls the strings and makes them ring” so yeah thats def correct

3:50 banger moment

I think it's “It pulls the strings...“ instead of “he pulls the strings...“ because this line is actual flavor text during the fight. Brings an argument to the table, that Knight is behind Spamton's insanity

6:55 i never noticed this but you see how he doesn’t have those blush spots, like the ones that PUPPETS have and he starts moving his mouth normally so that means whoever is controlling him let they’re guard down and spamton regained his conciense (i forgot how to spell it) therefore proving that he is a puppet and not having two personalities like some people think

hello halfbreadchaos! i think i may have found something that might interesting thanks to the robots taking over the world, i have been able to un-bitcrush the voiceline that spamton says and using the isolation for that last part that spamton says, i think this might help a bit to get the lyrics a bit better idk if this'll help though, i'm gonna upload it to youtube in a while

You forgot to mention how Spamton gave us a hint as an answer in the Q&A. I thought it was a big deal when I saw it, so I’m surprised you didn’t mention it here.

I feel dumb for just now realising why spamton has been repeating [Big Shot!] Literally the whole theme of spamton is about being in control so him wanting to be a big shot is like him saying "I want to be in control." big shot is a colloquial term for a person who makes decisions, a person who calls the shots. And me just finally realising it now is like me realising "you are so dumb"

I'm not sure why no one else mentions it, but in Big Shot right before the first Dummy! leitmotif plays you can more clearly hear one part of the dialogue, it goes: "Tell you what you-" and then gets cut off, which basically confirmed that he wasn't saying "Tell me what you're really selling!"

Didn't this song have lyrics in spotify at one point and it said: "They're coming for me answer the phone." "I can't explain 'till you're all alone." "He pulls the strings and makes them ring" "Untill you're heart turns REDD- uh" (Well it said red but in the plush version it's more of an extension"

What I hear is "hand coming from the inside of the phone, hands that wait till your all alone, they pull the strings and make them ring, till your heart turns red hot" I think this is more likely to be the lyrics with the whole puppet theme of spamton neo

My headcanon about the lyrics was almost exactly the same as yours, except I thought the line was “Until your heart starts ringing up!”, referencing how you would ring up items at a cashier when purchasing them as well as the line “it pulls the strings and makes it ring”.

theres def "YOU'RE BREAKING UP" as a second voice when he says "your heart gets ripped up"

I always thought it said "now's your chance to answer the phone, he just can't wait till your all alone, then that's when he pulled the strings, he pulled the strings till he made them ring, he pulled till he took everything."
