The Mind Electric by Miracle Musical Lyrics (no flashing, no reverse)
11/25/22 ETA theres a lot of comments about the captions on this vid. the captions on this video were user submitted back when those were a thing, i have no idea who submitted them or why, i just tweaked them to be slightly more accurate and approved them. shoutout to whoever added them back in like 2019 :) youre a real one
this song is such a bop but the flashing lights really bothered me and i couldnt find a normal lyric video for it, so i just made my own. also, this is the first time ive ever made something like this so i did my best but sorry if the timing is a lil bit off in some places. oh and of course all credit to Miracle Musical for the song ;o
3/20/19 edit: oh hey thanks for the views!! i saw a few comment about this so i wanted to explain: this song was sung by Joe Hawley, who was a member of Tally Hall, and released by Miracle Musical. Inside the Mind of Simon was an earlier version of this song released by Tally Hall. After Tally Hall went on their indefinite hiatus, Joe Hawley collaborated with many of the members of the band to make Hawaii Part II under the band name Miracle Musical, which contained a more finished version of Inside the Mind of Simon, which is this song. So you could say this song was made by Joe Hawley, Tally Hall, and Miracle Musical, but I'm crediting it as Miracle Musical because that's the band name it was released under. :)

Something I realised is that at the end of the song, his tone sounds different, like a tamed, subdued kind of sound is in his voice at the end after the electroshock therapy. I've listened to this song too many times.

I struggle with derealization. Frequently. The near ending of this song is something i can relate too. the lyrics “See how the brain plays around, and you fall inside a hole you couldnt see. You fall inside a hole inside a- someone help me, understand whats going on inside my mind. Doctor I cant tell if im not me.” Is so well constructed. The feeling of not knowing what reality is anymore or who or what you are is so terrifying. It hurts so bad, Its like you’ve forgotten everything you’ve ever known. Its like the feeling when you almost understand, But yet you’re not even close to understanding at all. This song is so beautiful. The feeling was so elegantly caught.

In the background after this section when Simon is getting electrocuted you can hear the words “ Axon dentrite” which are part of the nerves that sense signals. Essentially the electrical sock is jumping from axon to dentrite
Also the fact that "præy" has a double meaning, and could be either pray or, much more horrifyingly, *prey.*

I believe this song is about someone who was accused of a crime they didn’t commit. They falsely pleaded insanity and was sent to electroshock therapy where he actually went insane wether he was in the first place or not.
imo it's set in the era of primitive/religion-based medicine and about someone having a dissociative disorder, taken to the hospital where he's shocked right in the brain while having religious rites chanted to him to "exorcise the demon", and then either becomes a vegetable or is actually comforted by the electrotherapy.
Most cases of electroshock therapy are for the mentally ill n if it’s for someone who committed a crime they would be send to a death sentence or jail time not electroshock I think this guy is mentally ill and he’s done wrong letting his head get over him telling him things to the point where he feels insane and accuses himself as a bad human at the end where they said he made it another night I think they are talking about how he passed another day without letting his brain fuck him up too much
I feel his pain oof
And then the original was in reverse, so make the story backwards, so he was insane, got electro therapy, acted normal got out and killed someone, was put on trial but got out on insanity
I think it’s someone who is going insane and committed a crime and so they did electroshock therapy, and when he says the thing about surviving another night, that’s him saying he survived electroshock therapy. I do that’s how I interpret it
Bro I love tally hall so much and after hearing murders and eventually branching out to the rest of miracle musical, I was so happy that I found *another artist* who had the same type of sound tally hall does and then I was absolutely shocked in every way to find out that miracle musical was a side project of a few tally hall members I’m dying
"doctor I can't tell if I'm not me" This has got to be the most relatable line in this song. And I think I understand what it means in this context too. He can't tell if he's actually insane or not.

fun fact: at the nuns commencing part 1:17 the voice in the back is chanting "axon dendrite" over and over, axon and dendrite are both parts of a neuron. dendrites are the input of an electron and axons are the output of a neuron. (atleast from my understanding im not a neurologist)

Its like a commentary veiled just enough that it hits on so many different issues, wrapped inside a musical wonderland. The lyric that gets me everytime is the 2nd to last 'voice'. The interrupted lyric with the plea for help, followed by the raw line "Doctor I can't tell if I'm not me." I've been terrified of my own mind and the ways it can convince me to self-destruction, and that line feels right out of a journal entry of mine. Whether the express intent of the lyric, it always makes me think of that divide between 'myself' and my 'brain', which are not one and the same.
“I was just a boy you see” That part literally made me feel *something* , I’m not sure what but it felt like despair almost
He was just a boy WHEN HE KILLED SOMEONE
I beg of thee have sympathy for me
@@BIP0LARISTIC yeah, but it's implied that he wasn't in his right mind when he did that. He was a boy suffering from insanity, or most likely a severely unchecked mental illness or something. Not that killing someone is ever really right, but from a storyline point of view, this character is kinda tragic. Though imo it just adds more depth to the song and makes it better lol
It's possible that him saying "I was just a boy you see" is him saying that he was naive for (falsely) pleading insanity. He was probably assuming that he'd get off easier if he just said he was crazy, but now is realizing that prison probably would have been better. Idk whether the narrator is actually crazy or not tho so idk
I'm just a poor boy I need no sympathy
This song kinda reminds me of bohemian rhapsody in the way it tells a story and how it sounds like it goes through multiple songs

@@hollyhadley9960 tally hall prides itself in not having a genre, they call it "fabloo", although wikipedia describes them as an "american rock band". it was created by five (six?) high school friends from michigan: rob cantor, andrew horowitz, joe hawley, ross federman and zubin sedghi (and bora karaca?) because they liked music i guess. one of their early projects from the university of michigan itself is a student film that actually had some pretty cool songs in it. there's not really a lot of history to them, although i do understand its a bit confusing because all the information is spread across the internet since they split so long ago that there's not one place where everything about them is contained. you can check out the hiddeninthesand wiki if you have any confusions

The only other stuff remotely similar to this might be lemon demon’s spirit phone And now that I think about it, some Cyriak stuff has a somewhat similar vibe. Maybe.
i think the beauty of this song is the nuance and ambiguity of it. some people may say is about a love story, some people may say it's a representation of psychosis, everyone has their own interpretation. even in the demos you can feel the enigmatic nature of it. for example, in the album version it feels connected to Murders, which many interpret as a love song, whilst the fourth demo feels raw and personal to the narrator, like a cry for help. each person has their interpretation and separate meaning that resonates with them and i truly feel like that was joe's intention when creating Hawaii Part II. his interpretation differs from the individual listener. this album is a masterpiece.

This song is a part of a beautiful album (Hawaii part II). It's about a guy who's had a terrible life, then meets a girl and falls in love. They go on a date in a forest, then someone kills her. He didn't do it, but all of the evidence is stacked against him, so he pleads insanity. Because he's not insane, the electro-shock therapy drives him to insanity. He eventually breaks out and goes out to sea. He dies there and gets reunited with his love. I'd highly recommend listening to the full album. Of course it’s all up to your own interpretation, that’s just the way i and many others see it anyway.

If I'm correct, I'm pretty sure this is the story of this album-- A Sailor falls in love with a lady. As they fall more and more in love, the lady disappears into the sea horizons. People accuse the Sailor of her murder. Without evidence to prove his innocence, he pleads insanity falsely. Quickly, this backfires as he's sent to shock/come therapy. The Sailor becomes insane from the shock therapy, losing any rational thoughts, like being in a labyrinth. The Sailor starts sailing to nowhere, his irrational thoughts bolting about Timemachines and whatnot. Finally, he is lured in by the very thing that killed his lover: The Siren. Now, the Sailor is with his lover. In the after life.

The spiralling down thy majesty part just before the ‘best part’ is my absolute favourite part
I think 0:16-0:28 is my single favorite moment in the song. the voice chosen is perfect for the court role intended, coming off as monotone yet secretly sinister.
I've seen a lot of ideas of what the song is about, so here's another theory: This kid/boy killed his girlfriend (other songs in the album hint at this, and the song before this one is called murders) and pleaded insanity to get away from punishment. He gets treated with electroshock therapy and actually goes insane.
@@uranium404 Well, I don't think she did. The song before this one is called Murders, so if that's not a big clue then I don't know what is. Killing herself is an interesting idea- maybe? Nothing is really confirmed so I think the album is meant to be interpreted differently by everyone. So yeah, maybe she did kill herself. It can be seen either way.
Loko 105 the song before this one is actually called 宇宙ステーションのレベル7
The way I saw somebody interpret it was somebody had killed the love interest and the protagonist got blamed, so to avoid punishment like you said pleaded insanity, had electro therapy, and ended up actually going insane. I think its undecided if he killed her or not though. I'm still trying to figure out the full story of the album but I think I got a slight understanding of it now.
I think he was insane before because he likes causing people fright from the “closing circuitry of fright” and the electric shock made him more insane and it made a cycle refrenced by the reverse at the begining

I think it talks about how you loose yourself in shock therapy. The neurons die, and you come out like a zombie.
If you've ever dealt with mental instability you'd feel it even more even without shock therapy the instabity itself can cause you to fade. your mind begins to fade the small bits of your sanity that remain struggle to keep control. You almost feel like another entity is consuming you. And you begin to become terrified of what you see. What you may become. That fear itself driving your insanity forward or potentially sometimes being the only thing giving you the will to hold on. If your sanity fades entirely and you lose your mind you may cease to exist in a sense. After all if the essences of who you are is your very personality if that fades what is left of you? In a sence you die but your body lives on corruped and altered. To many that is a concept more terrifying than death. At least thats my experience when off my meds for too long.

I think people are sleeping on the best lyric from this song: 2:43 “Never they ponder wether electric- calming, if you look at it right.” This here is the part that perfectly explains the POV character (who I shall refer to as “Simon” in tribute to the demo version, “Inside the Mind of Simon”)’s fate after the song ends. Just think about it. It’s not “never again are sparkled electric” (or something along those lines) it’s “never they _ponder wether_ electric.” Simon was driven truly insane by the end of the song. Beforehand, he had brief moments of rational thinking, and a truly good heart albeit insane. But now, he never again questioned his sanity. A calming thought- if you look at it from a certain angle.
it's like the best the end is the best
I honestly love this part so much, It's so... Calming... If you look at it right
"Doctor I can't tell if I'm not me" has to be the most haunting line in the song. The idea of going insane, but still having brief moments of rational thought that are long enough for you to realize what's happening to your mind. That absolutely terrifies me. It reminds me of a book called challenger deep, which basically covers this topic in detail. And now that I think about it, it's actually extremely similar to Hawaii part II in terms of theme. It's a good read and I would recommend it to anyone who connected with this song.
Nobody else seems to hear it but in this version, at the end of that quote, you hear a faint voice say "ha, not you, huh?" Followed by a woosh that leads you to the outro
@@LMNL_SUPRSTR Thats the part that fucks me up about this song the most. The idea of someone being subjected to electroshock, (before they started giving anaesthesia for it) expressing sheer terror and confusion, only to be laughed at or not taken seriously by someone who I like to assume is the doctor administering the shocks.
@@frenchyproductions9692 Yeah, the song is pretty messed up. I've come up with many different types of theories and building on others aswell over the past few months and the visual I see with this song is so incredibly emotionally damaging to me, it nearly becomes horrible for my health and I have to take a few breaks from time to time. I plan to make a comic or an animation (Though unlikely) with the visual I have of the song. The entire album (following with the Simon and Poppy theory) is pretty messed up in it's own special way but atleast there's a somewhat good ending?
@@LMNL_SUPRSTR I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets easily emtional over music! I love this song and the whole album, but I agree it's so thematically heavy that I also have to take breaks from time to time. It's a powerful album and a powerful song.
Challenger Deep is an *incredible* book, and I especially love how it depicts the protagonist's depersonalization / dissociation.
This song is the most medieval-modern song that it freaks me out...
Oh my God did you just describe it in the best way possible??
Yes, like their language style and tone of voice gives a royal/aristocratic and classical vibe to it.
@@extrapathos Interesting take on it, I hear it quite similarly now that you mention it.
it's fabloo
it's like a shakepearian language
The more I listen to this song, the more I understand what is happening, and as horrible as the story is, this song is somehow calming and full of hope, I absolutely love the song
I've listened to this song like 30 times today, back to back
this song is DARK looking into the lyrics, seeing what the general consensus is, i think i know what it means: our protagonist, we'll call him simon since the original name of the song during its demo was something like "inside the mind of simon", is put on trial, likely for the murder of his lover if the album as a whole follows a continuity. The original song is inverted at first, starting at the end and playing to the beginning, at which point the song actually starts. This is likely a symptom of insanity and memories being jumbled and repressed, with simon struggling to remember, working backwards to the beginning. Afterwards, the first lines i believe are simon trying to assure himself of his intelligence, readying himself for the trial. Following this is the judge, (or "father", implying some holy connection, which is expanded on later,) asks simon, who is now implied to be no older than 17, given "minor", how he pleads, then informs him they need his testimony, then warns him he must tell the whole truth, as is standard for trial. Next, simon, not wishing to try to fight off the false accusation of murder as he has no way of doing so, pleads insanity, saying his heart is in the right place but his brain got the better of him, and so the judge condemns him to "the infirmary", likely a mental institute or prison of some kind. The next lines are simon's panic, referred to as his towers crumbling down, his "brilliant plan" having gotten him in even more trouble. He desperately tries to devise a new plan to escape but his efforts are futile, and the warden of this prison, referring to themselves as the lord of a kingdom, is immediately portrayed as a horrible abusive ruler demanding fear, submission, and prayer. Simon is then taken into electro-shock therapy, the temples being struck with lightning being his temples, the soft parts on the side of the head next to each eyebrow ridge. This shock therapy is treated as some sort of exorcism, given the references to nuns chanting, for which to expel "demons", or his claimed insanity, and simon describes how his brain is scorched by the shocks. Released, dazed and in pain, he then begs the "lord" for mercy and sympathy, claiming he is but a boy and as such shouldn't be made to go through this. The warden/lord ignores his cries for mercy and points him to the other prisoners, choosing to boast of his power over them, referring to them as the serfs of his kingdom, then directing him to join them in working until they can work no more. A laugh very similar to that of Ganon's from Zelda II is played, cementing the warden as a horrible, evil man who takes pleasure in the pain of others. Simon resumes his recounting of his experience, explaining how his foolish plans lead him into consequences he had not foreseen. He begs for help, then seems to ask a doctor to figure out what's going on with him, and explains that he doesn't quite know if he truly is in control anymore, likely due to actual insanity having developed from the electro-shock therapy. The final lines explain how each time he comes to after EST, simon marvels at having survived the "therapy", and then i believe its stated he sort of represses memories of the pain of the shocks, which is claimed to be calming, from a certain point of view. We're left on a cliffhanger, with simon still imprisoned, still regularly being put through electro-shock therapy. So there it is, that's my reading on The Mind Electric. any thoughts and critiques are welcome
pretty good
WOW
This is so well thought of just as this song, man!! Good shit 👌✨
Sounds a bit like Pink Floyd's The Wall. Or at least The Trial.
damn you wrote a whole essay
Everyone: *talking about how horrifying the song is* *Me who’s listen to it nine times in a row now trying to polish up that animatic idea that Im never going to make:* 👁👄👁
same lmao
@Olivia Grabowska yea i also thought the/a fnaf story went so well with this
Glad I'm not the only one 😩
Same lmao
Me
If you listen really closely, in the background of the "NUNS COMMENCE INCANTING" part, you can hear someone saying "help me" repeatedly
if you didn't know, track 34 in hawaii part ii part ii has an entire track of that clip, i found out this info before listening to tme
I truly believe anyone who suffers from severe mental illness can really relate to at least one part of the song or the entirety of it. I suffer from severe ocd and the line “someone help me -understand what’s going on inside my mind, doctor I can’t tell if I’m not me” hits dead on for me. Ocd makes you think you’re a monster for your intrusive thoughts and makes you doubt your entire personality and character. It’s a horrible thing to go through on a daily basis. Luckily I’ve just started TMS and I am hoping I will see results!
I have OCD and you really end up feeling in the jail of your own mind. I have certain compulsions my brain thinks I HAVE to do. Touching every stove top 3 times every time I pass the kitchen is one of my worst currently because even if I KNOW it's hot and know it's irrational I feel like I HAVE to. Fluvoxamine has taken the edge off. Years of therapy has as well. I hope you find some relief soon!
This song makes me feel an emotion that doesn't exist
ya same
So true omg
Its called stress
Lmao

1:29 sounds so desperate. Like he’s actually crying for help.

HOMESTUCK SPOTTED
As of December 12th, 2022, 12 AM, this masterpiece of a banger is now a decade old. 🎉
This song somehow feels like going through the 5 stages of grief
1:41-2:32 is undoubtedly my favorite part, the almost off rhythm beat mixed with the haunting lyrics, especially the last line "doctor i can't tell if i'm not me"
Same here
its perfect for a tiktok speech bubble thing
@@Sprinkledsprinkles Ew
it has that tally hall feeling to it. it's so perfect
@@mxjuno1998 It's because it is made by Tally Hall, it's a separate project from Tally Hall, with all the band members but 1
Has anyone else noticed this lines up perfectly with "animal crackers in my soup"? Its in minor instead and not blatantly ripped off. I played them together and it's hilarious.
IceEve this song is never gonna be the same 😔
I knew I’d heard the tune somewhere-
Waiiit what
Animal these thoughts as in my soup-
Woah ~mindblown~
2:04 you can hear a little whistle in the back playing the tune of Labyrinth
Interesting
facts 1. Resident minor’s name is Simon, according to the original version, the incomplete tally hall song “Inside The Mind of Simon.” 2. The laugh is from the game over screen from Zelda 2
Listened to this on loop while falling asleep. Had weird haunting dreams and woke with a feeling of unease 10/10 would fall asleep to this again (yes, I'm oddly hooked)
What how why
@@mightypurplelicious1625 it's calming if you look at it right
Oh fuck I've listened to this a million times before bed
Have you tried any other songs by Miracle Musical? A few of the more ominous ones are Murders and Labyrinth.
i've actually almost fallen asleep to the actual song with the reverse and distortions i think i listen to this song too much
no one: Captions: "Father may I explain my brain has claimed its gofer over me I'm a good hearted same"
I saw that lol-
Also captions: there's four drug for scattering sparks of thought and of the GG river me and Me: and what?

@@BlitzStudiosIsinsideyourhome I re watched it and I can find your part but not mine.

I don't understand how such good songs are not recognized and are also very addictive

If you ever thought the way he says “Death minute in decimal” sounded weird, It’s because in reverse it sounds like “Homicide.”
THAT IS ACTUALLY SO COOL
What? How??
@@talb.1805 lamicide - decimal backwards (with some changes to make it easier ofc)
neat considering how this album is about someone wrongly charged with murder
Amazing
this is it. this is the song ever
it is the song!! I honestly abseloutely hate people who think that this isn't the song ever 🙄😒
1:47 this part really sounds like a tally hall song
It's because 2 members of tally hall made this song and the album
@@sofivicfest oh, btw, nice ONE pfp
@@sofivicfest *4 members worked on the album (the only one who didn't was Andrew)

Joe Hawley really had the audacity to make the best part last for 3 minutes
If you play it on repeat you can't tell when it ends or starts it's a perfect loop
