@@RedPandaGirl002 It's a matter of getting burned and taking whatever stance you need to make sure it never happens again.

This is a good song for a variety of reasons, enjoyable to listen to, but what I like most is how it shows the perspective of the rest of the animals who live in the Pride Lands. You see them in the movies as background characters, but it's especially memorable to hear about all the pain they went through while they lived under Scar. I like the line "Someone once lied to us, not we're not so blind". Really gives a good in-depth look into the rest of the animals and how they feel.
After I had gotten older I noticed that too, at first I thought it was just a filler song but after returning to Disney songs like this, it was then that I knew they meant their suffering under scar from the first movie.
Which makes it all the more powerful that his role as Scars heir, something that was once his greatest point of pride, has ruined the best thing hes ever had in a way that, at the time, feels total and absolute. This whole scene was like everyone saying "you did this, you're on HIS side, that's all that's needed to be certain you are bad in every way we cannot afford to trust, and that means you not only aren't part of this pride, this community you never were to begin with. How can you be if every part of you is dripping with HIM?" And he cant argue, even knowing that the ambush was a frame up, bc as far as hes been told his whole life the rest is as true as can be. This sort of storyline can be done really cheaply if you dont bother actually showing the character in question realising by themselves just how wrong everything they thought they knew was, but seeing him hunching under the accusing, almost resigned stares of this kingdom that had become so much more jaded because of the man he grew up looking up to, so quiet as the truth and what it meant for him sank in? It still gets to me, every time God I love this film
Do you believe that Kovu deserved to suffer as Simba did in his past? And also because you believe that Simba was a much, way, *BETTER* than Mufasa was???
This song shows how DEEPLY the Pride Lands are still wounded from Scar's Reign, they were ready to cast out Kovu just because he looked like Scar and wasn't an outsider. Scar's disaster still taints their memories
You seem to be forgetting that they are the food supply. They were doing no better under Mufasa than they were Scar. The predators got screwed over in Scar's reign, NOT the rest of the savannah life.

@@MyJanvicSimba judged a book by it cover along with the animals because they think he scar and following scar footprints. Which I don’t blame Kaira going after Simba and saying you will never be Mufasa. I always wonder why she said that and I realized something. If Mufasa was alive he would make Simba listen to Kovu answers, and he would make Simba to make Kovu stay. I get it Simba is scared and hurt because what happened to him but he has no reason exiling Kovu without him saying his innocence and seeing the animals attacking Kovu.
Born in grief Raised in hate Helpless to defy his fate Let him run Let him live But do not forget what we cannot forgive I always got chills when the birds came out to attack Kovu. The way Simba was looking at him made it look like he actually called for the attack. It was just set up so well. You could also see the clear disappointment on Simba’s face at the end. He truly believed that Kovu would be the one to break the chain of hatred his uncle left behind. I could in fact imagine Simba eventually inviting the other Outsiders back home had the “betrayal” not happened.
Yeah I think people didn’t get it- the olive branch that Simba gave Kovu when he said he wanted to talk to him was only so thin. Of course it broke when he really didn’t fully trust Kovu anyways
The animals think they are *ALWAYS* right and that they think they were right along about Kovu, BUT THEY ARE NOT!!!!!!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 *THEY* are the ones who are blind because they are *SO* consumed by their hatred for the Outsiders and Kovu, they see ONLY what they WANT to see!!!
"Let him run, let him live" was such a powerful part, it shows even at the face of evil, some people are still willing to let you off with mercy, while others will give u far more fatal punishments, like execution
It's the basic tenet of justice: innocent until proven guilty. If Simba ordered them to kill Kovu and he turned out to be innocent, think what'd happen to the movie. Also, it's partly a sadistic pleasure of rage to chase your enemy.
Late reply but I feel that it's the same as what Scar did to simba after killing Mufasa. When the young Simba was stricken in grief and guilt, Scar told him to run away and good thing for the hyenas incompetence and the cactus field, simba survived and was found and raised by timon and pumba
Personally I feel it takes it to a much darker place but in a good way, like it’s great writing but at the same time that implies they wanted to kill him but he didn’t even do anything, they all assumed he did and didn’t look for any evidence, and also just because the sins of his father when he hadn’t known them long enough to show that he wasn’t capable of those things or that he isn’t evil, it’s great writing mimicking the real world too I love it
*Kovu during the ambush:* -"I had nothing to do with this!" -Constantly jumps in to save Simba's life -"Run!" -Stays back to buy Simba time to escape. *Simba:* Bruh, clearly a traitor. Lol, banish him.
In Simba's defense he was still in shock with the revelation Zira planted that Kovu was in on it to kill him. Whatever Kovu did to help him was null and void. And it did not help that he was an Outsider. But yeah, Simba was in the wrong as well which is the lesson his own daughter ended up teaching him.
Daniel Solie No he is not. He’s just trying to protect his family and people. Remember he is dealing with people who sided with the guy who murdered his father and destroyed his home.
As a young child, I always enjoyed the movie but never understood why all the dislike to the outland lions. As I grew older, I realized that it was a way to show prejudice in a Disney movie and I am so thankful to this movie for showing me how awful prejudice and intolerance to those who are different from you can be ever since I was a kid. This was my favorite song besides the intro.
And the impact Scar's tyranny had not only on Simba, hence why he was always desperate and tries to rule the same way his father taught him, until his unfortunate death, but the other animals in the kingdom as well.
@@healthbar8439 prejudice against the outlanders. Not only did Simba exile Zira he also exiled the innocent children who had nothing to do with Scar's crimes, innocent children left fending for themselves. It's no wonder they were indoctrinated by Zira into thinking Simba was their enemy.
That's not prejudice they were traders when Simba returned instead of them standing behind the true king after they have seen all the chaos Scar & the Hyenas brought to the pride lands they decided to fight with scar instead, so for their obvious treason they were exiled & naturally they would take their young with them especially the boys born under Scars Rule because they would be their only hope at revenge. So they actually deserved it(not the children) but the traders yes, and it just shows over time some can change & be forgiven for their crimes and others gwt so wrapped up in the hate, anger, and lies they tell their selves to justify their wrong doing pretty much what the lyrics say💯!!!
@@marcusrobinson6731 That's still prejudice my guy. The pridelanders wanted kovu out because of what scar did. Kovu isn't scar and isn't like scar. They prejudged kovu without knowing him
They did not need to go this hard on this song, but I'm so glad they did. Best song in Lion King 2, hands down. Also impactful for being the first time when all the other animals got a voice.
Did all of the animals have THE RIGHT to do all of their treatment on Kovu and even say that he *deserves* to suffer as Simba did? Plus, you even agree that they are "not so blind" because they are NOT AT ALL??
This song fucked me up so bad when I was a kid. I've always been an outcast with my family and this song just hits me right in the feels. Even as young as I was (like 4 or 5) I connected to deeply with this.
+Y Bizzle My dad came to see us for the first time in six years but he didn't want to see us. He tried to get back together with Mom but since she refused to break up with her boyfriend he got a pissbaby attitude and left early and later we found out he planned on getting back with mom and taking us down to Alabama then kick Mom out and give us back to his abusive mother who had beaten me when we lived with her. His motive? Not paying child support If he tries to visit us again we are going to call the police on him
+Kyla Harkins Or just being an outcast in general: feeling as though you can do nothing right, that sometimes it feels like the world is conspiring against you. I agree, it's a tough lot in life to feel different. :-/
Shows just how bad of a toll Scar's reign had on the animals of the Pride Lands. Not to mention the fact that they had to deal with him AGAIN when he came back as a spirit.
No way, I was thinking the same thing. I once called 'We don't talk about Bruno' the 20's equivalent 'Not one of us'. I think 'Not one of us' fits Bruno rather well.
"I'm going to break Uncle Iroh from prison, and BEG for his forgiveness. I've realized he's been a REAL father to me. Though I have come to an even bigger decision. I'm gonna join the Avatar, and help him defeat YOU."
Very similar emotions in that scene but the actual events taking place are completely the opposite. The same ideas expressed but Zuko has moved past his trauma with being exiled to the point that he is, in effect, doing that same thing to himself. The emotional parallels between the scenes show the differences in character development for those two facially scarred characters.
Man you just threw me back to thinking of the lion king fanfic I made in POWERPOINT when I was 11-12 on my account on the school computers 😭 I genuinely want that back somehow, just so I can see what younger me was cooking up with all the pictures pasted from Google, but that account has long been deleted so I'm out of luck, sadly
Do you believe in each and every single animal in the lyrics that they are 100% right about Kovu?? You agree with ALL they are singing/saying about him??
"Let him run, let him live, but do not forget what we cannot forgive" is just very emotional. Simba's entire pride including every animal beside the lions were deeply affected by the revelation of how Scar murdered Mufasa, a king they all loved, and also the attempt on Simba's life. And they're so triggered just by Kovu looking the part that they aren't willing to listen to anyone's judgement but Simba's, because they also love Simba. It just speaks more incredible volumes to the way the antelope singer keeps reciting, "Deception." It just makes me feel for the entire pride and we don't even hear about them all.
RocketVoice Mlp™ that's what I'm saying it's crazy that he was with his mom to do a favor for scar cause he was raised to follow in scars prints but when he met Kiara he changed but he couldn't be forgiven cause it was too late
"Just leave us alone!" "Free to go back with your own." Those words cut me every time! I feel like little Anna from Frozen getting rejected by those I considered family
the creepy thing is. how similar they are to each other, they are related to someone thats the antagonist, treated as one as well. has a sibling that is evil as well. rejected by one of the protagonist (ish) turned away from his family because of a mistake. has a scar. missing parent.
***** I may be mistaken but after joining the group I don't think he ever really betrayed them. The song does work though - his betrayal was against the fire nation.
+DeAndre Oglesby •Zira: I have failed you, Kovu. ...I have failed you. •Kovu: I should've known the Outsiders were planning to take over! •Zira: Kovu, King Simba is evil! •Kovu: From my point of view, the Outsiders are evil! •Zira: *_WELL THEN, YOU ARE LOST!!!_*
That's probably what everyone was thinking the minuet Scar told everyone he killed Mufasa. As well The Hyenas when Scar ratted them out to just to save his own sorry skin.
As a kid, I thought that this song/scene in the movie was no big deal; they just drove Kovu out of their area.. As a young adult it hits so hard now. Kovu is a character that represents every person who's ever been rejected by groups from both sides of their life. He was raised by a bitter, revengeful mother and family, but he's not bad. Nevertheless, owing to where he comes from, he's labelled as greedy and wicked by others who don't understand that it's wrong to generalise. He was accused and blamed for something he didn't do and didn't know about either. He wants to be accepted as 'good' but doesn't get the chance. The way he's driven out and excluded is really sad, with an entire musical number dedicated to vilifying him and pushing forward the point that he's an outcast. Only this time, he's an outcast from both sides. I'm sure many people in real life would be able to identify somewhat with this.
Yes to all of this. And at the same time it doesnt paint the Pride Land people as evil or wicked, they got burned once when Scar took the throne, and seeing one of his pride come back ruffled some feathers but it wasnt until the Outcasts ambushed Simba while he was alone with Kovu and made sure to go "Well done Kovu, just as planned" right in Simbas face before trying to kill him, so either Simba died and all was well for a hostile takeover of the Pride Lands or he managed to survive and Kovu got burned over there. Just out of pure vindictive spite when Kovu wouldnt be the Assassin they wanted him to be. So in that light it was understandable that the Pride Lands people acted on that proof, horrible as it was.
This song goes SO HARD!!!! Like it had NO BUSINESS going this hard!!! The voices and drum beat meshed together PERFECTLY during the "but do not forget what we can not forgive!" I will listen to that part repeatedly for a good 10 minutes just soaking in its beauty!!
For all the ones who got rejected, forgotten by humanity, outsiders, running away from war. Because of the ancestors and other reasons this song can totally fits.
Oof do you think this is how the african american people felt in the past and in today's era? Maybe thats why their all being so pushy with the black lives matter thing of their's.
To me, they're being arrogant and lying! They really ARE blind! Because they are SO _consumed_ by their *hatred* for Scar, they see ONLY what they *want* to see! Am I right???
This song is actually very satisfying to listen to when someone you once trusted betrays you. I recommend listening to this if you ever been hurt by someone if only this could happen to those people.
@@RedPandaGirl002 Do you really need to be that person? You Clearly, don't understand the comment. For one I wasn't talking about Kovu (that should have been obvious) and two wasn't suppose to be taken seriously. But I guess I need to be more specific for now on.
@@RedPandaGirl002 They could be sometimes just like everyone has certain thoughts that they carry from time to time. It was meant to be relatable for anyone might have been currently betrayed depending on the person or situation (cheaters, abusers, evil people, people who betray their country, whatever the case). Your saying you wouldn't be satisfied if this situation didn't happen to another character (let's say if Scar was still alive). Another example, it's like when you watch Batman interrogate someone on TV, video games, or comic books, (like in Arkham Knight when Batman snaps the thugs arm for gassing the cop in the beginning of the game) the next you hear someone say "if only Baman could interrogate (the worst person you could think of)." Again not meant to be taken seriously but something for someone to feel satisfied for a moment incase they were feeling that way.
@@RedPandaGirl002 You: shouts at people in the comments and accuses them of things they didn’t do. Them: Tells you off gently. Also you: calm down you guys, you’re so meeeeaaan. Seriously, how old are you?
@@RedPandaGirl002 there’s no reason for you to defend Kovu though. Everyone here agrees with you. There’s this thing called dramatic irony in films, where the audience knows something about the characters or plot, that the characters do not. WE as an audience know that Kovu was not to blame for Zira’s attack, but Simba doesn’t know that. The point of that scene was that Zira’s set Kovu up so that the characters THINK that Kovu was behind it. So it makes sense given what he thinks he knows for Simba to exile him. But what you aren’t realising is that nobody here thinks Simba is correct. There is a difference between understanding the reason behind someone’s actions, and supporting said actions. We do not support Simbas decisions, but we can understand WHY he’s doing what he’s doing. It’s ok to understand a character’s motivations without supporting them, because that’s what makes characters complex and morally grey.
@@RedPandaGirl002 I haven’t seen any comments like these throughout this entire video. I think you’re making these up and jumping to conclusions just to start arguments that don’t need to exist because you crave attention.
I always thought this song was my theme as a kid: not really fitting in and feeling like I might be rejected forever. Luckily that's not quite the case today, but these lyrics still stick.
G o d d a m n . You can only pick up so many of the words they’re saying in the movie, but now actually reading them... wow. It’s so powerful with a breathtaking choir. Chills.
in this song i imagine every type of bully-victim singing about their experience with bullying. "deception. Disgrace" sort of a way to get a inside-look of what their everyday looks like. all the mean words getting thrown at them daily
StotSie as someone who was bullied I actually agree with you on that, yet I can see that they thought this way of me when I was facing suspension because of what a teacher's bully like actions led me to react like. I did get to hear the events that happened after. But I do agree with you fully
The way they sings deception and disgrace at the end gives me goosebumps and childhood memories. I love it so much. This song is like a church choir song.
I honestly love this song especially the " But do not forget, what we can not forgive." Part ."We are one" also my grandma always told me we are one , when she died six years ago I kept saying ,seeing and hearing her say "We are one chispilina I love you" .I'm turning thirteen and still want to see more of the Lion King movies made / all the Lion King movies remaid.
i felt bad for Kovu and Kiara when he got denied being one of them Kiara tried to help him and her family and Dad wouldnt let her near him or accept him back in the Kingdom cause she loves him Sad
Ngl Hellfire's iconic but I never really enjoyed the tune. This song is so much more enjoyable for me; like, I will go out of my way to listen to it multiple times a day.
I get chills. I haven't seen the movie (or at least, I was too young to remember) though I know it's about Kovu being exiled, and the emotion of the vocals are so powerful! It throws you into empathy of both sides, and ah, it's so good! Disney has never disappointed me.
Wow this song is really powerful to be a Disney movie omg! Honestly Lion King 2 was a good movie same with all the other ones.I love this song and the movie.Also who the hell did the voice of the Zebras damn they can sing.OMG!
Crazy part is that if someone were truly "helpless to defy their fate", then that individual would be blameless. Thing is, no one has to be like their parents if they don't want to.
"Someone once lied to us, so now we're not so blind" that hits hard for some reason. This whole song hits hard. It's a really powerful song.

You could also see the clear disappointment on Simba’s face at the end. He truly believed that Kovu would be the one to break the chain of hatred his uncle left behind. I could in fact imagine Simba eventually inviting the other Outsiders back home had the “betrayal” not happened.
Forgiveness only comes through sacrifice
Yeah I think people didn’t get it- the olive branch that Simba gave Kovu when he said he wanted to talk to him was only so thin. Of course it broke when he really didn’t fully trust Kovu anyways
I always thought they said "See you later, alligator!"
Lol
+NakiNaki Serrano You're not alone... I still flip between alligator and agitator when I sing this, so... :3
Alligators: wait, what?
Alligators: wait, what?
+NakiNaki Serrano omg I thought that too! Wow, i've been wrong for all these years lol.
You know Disney did a good when I can sense the hate and I don't even know what's going on
Omg you really need to watch the movie!
So this dude did a thing and got yeeted from life
Same
Speaking Of Disney.
This song perfectly describes The Live Action Disney Remakes of Old Animated Films.
@@dylansmith5206 This is the song I sing when new trailers for Live Actions for original GOOD movies. Live Action just isn't Disney's thing...
Hands down one of THE best Disney songs
This song was put together so good
Yesss
2:00 that voice right there
holy shit
IKR
MuppetMollyStarGleek omg agreed
I KNOWWW!! So good!
Im shook
Yeah, Its like your siblings telling you to. And your like nah I dont care. Then at 2:00 moms come in and tell you get out. LOVE THAT PART
You know it's bad when a zebra can sing better than you
Matthew lawley XDDDD
I screamed 😂😂😭
Matthew lawley but these are talking zebras! They have magic powers!
Yes it is
Andy Tsung they are turds
I love how they continued the story into a different arc of the same tale. "Someone once lied to us (Scar) now we're not so blind".
The animals think they are *ALWAYS* right and that they think they were right along about Kovu, BUT THEY ARE NOT!!!!!!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 *THEY* are the ones who are blind because they are *SO* consumed by their hatred for the Outsiders and Kovu, they see ONLY what they WANT to see!!!
AM I RIGHT????
@@RedPandaGirl002 I see your point. But its only a movie after all 🤣
@@RedPandaGirl002 Dude, you're taking this waaaaay too serious.
@@gazelle_diamond9768 Sorry. I just get aggravated when many people comment say how Simba was being king and what he had done
This song fits Zuko from Avatar the last air bender.
Omg yassss
An AMV is how I found dis song
Or Anakin from Star Wars.
Suits a lot of characters from different series, I guess. But it fits Zuko the best! ;)
Agree :3
"Let him run, let him live" was such a powerful part, it shows even at the face of evil, some people are still willing to let you off with mercy, while others will give u far more fatal punishments, like execution
It's the basic tenet of justice: innocent until proven guilty. If Simba ordered them to kill Kovu and he turned out to be innocent, think what'd happen to the movie.
Also, it's partly a sadistic pleasure of rage to chase your enemy.
Late reply but I feel that it's the same as what Scar did to simba after killing Mufasa.
When the young Simba was stricken in grief and guilt, Scar told him to run away and good thing for the hyenas incompetence and the cactus field, simba survived and was found and raised by timon and pumba
Personally I feel it takes it to a much darker place but in a good way, like it’s great writing but at the same time that implies they wanted to kill him but he didn’t even do anything, they all assumed he did and didn’t look for any evidence, and also just because the sins of his father when he hadn’t known them long enough to show that he wasn’t capable of those things or that he isn’t evil, it’s great writing mimicking the real world too I love it
The anthem of those of us who never really belonged, but were just kinda there...
Relate.
Agree
Anthem of the outcasts 😞
For all those kids who got bullied at school and never really knew why but survived.
hope you all have healed and are shielding the next generation from bearing rhe wounds of your traumas, like Kovu did with Scar.
I had the biggest crush on Kovu when I was little😂
+Forever Lotr THANK GOD I'M NOT ALONE
+Forever Lotr same
+Floyd Lawton Having a crush does not necessarily mean you want to engage in intercourse.
Yeah... It would be creepy to do that
Dude I was 7 I didn't even know what fucking was
*Kovu during the ambush:*
-"I had nothing to do with this!"
-Constantly jumps in to save Simba's life
-"Run!"
-Stays back to buy Simba time to escape.
*Simba:*
Bruh, clearly a traitor. Lol, banish him.
In Simba's defense he was still in shock with the revelation Zira planted that Kovu was in on it to kill him. Whatever Kovu did to help him was null and void. And it did not help that he was an Outsider. But yeah, Simba was in the wrong as well which is the lesson his own daughter ended up teaching him.
Yeah, simba is honestly an egotistic jerk in this movie.
Daniel Solie No he is not. He’s just trying to protect his family and people. Remember he is dealing with people who sided with the guy who murdered his father and destroyed his home.
Igot a quetsion..... why the animals who sing the exile didnt join the fight? I mean.,,, are they scared?
This literally like every game of Among Us
As a young child, I always enjoyed the movie but never understood why all the dislike to the outland lions. As I grew older, I realized that it was a way to show prejudice in a Disney movie and I am so thankful to this movie for showing me how awful prejudice and intolerance to those who are different from you can be ever since I was a kid.
This was my favorite song besides the intro.
And the impact Scar's tyranny had not only on Simba, hence why he was always desperate and tries to rule the same way his father taught him, until his unfortunate death, but the other animals in the kingdom as well.
Explain how you think this movie is prejudice?
@@healthbar8439 prejudice against the outlanders. Not only did Simba exile Zira he also exiled the innocent children who had nothing to do with Scar's crimes, innocent children left fending for themselves. It's no wonder they were indoctrinated by Zira into thinking Simba was their enemy.
That's not prejudice they were traders when Simba returned instead of them standing behind the true king after they have seen all the chaos Scar & the Hyenas brought to the pride lands they decided to fight with scar instead, so for their obvious treason they were exiled & naturally they would take their young with them especially the boys born under Scars Rule because they would be their only hope at revenge. So they actually deserved it(not the children) but the traders yes, and it just shows over time some can change & be forgiven for their crimes and others gwt so wrapped up in the hate, anger, and lies they tell their selves to justify their wrong doing pretty much what the lyrics say💯!!!
@@marcusrobinson6731 That's still prejudice my guy. The pridelanders wanted kovu out because of what scar did. Kovu isn't scar and isn't like scar. They prejudged kovu without knowing him
This scene had my heart broken for Kovu D:
***** damn cartoons breaking other cartoons hearts how dare they!!!!!!!!!
***** my heart is a black hole..
***** o_o you reply fastly im scared now *runsaway*
I was all KOVOOOOOOO!!!!(〒︿〒)(〒︿〒)(〒︿〒)(〒︿〒)(〒︿〒)
***** Kopa wasn't in any of the movies so I doubt most people know about Kopa.
They did not need to go this hard on this song, but I'm so glad they did. Best song in Lion King 2, hands down. Also impactful for being the first time when all the other animals got a voice.
Did all of the animals have THE RIGHT to do all of their treatment on Kovu and even say that he *deserves* to suffer as Simba did?
Plus, you even agree that they are "not so blind" because they are NOT AT ALL??
This song fucked me up so bad when I was a kid. I've always been an outcast with my family and this song just hits me right in the feels. Even as young as I was (like 4 or 5) I connected to deeply with this.
yes same here
+Y Bizzle My dad came to see us for the first time in six years but he didn't want to see us. He tried to get back together with Mom but since she refused to break up with her boyfriend he got a pissbaby attitude and left early and later we found out he planned on getting back with mom and taking us down to Alabama then kick Mom out and give us back to his abusive mother who had beaten me when we lived with her. His motive? Not paying child support
If he tries to visit us again we are going to call the police on him
I've been an outcast in my family too I know how you feel
+Kyla Harkins Or just being an outcast in general: feeling as though you can do nothing right, that sometimes it feels like the world is conspiring against you. I agree, it's a tough lot in life to feel different. :-/
I'm sorry. :(

Alyssa Bullock lol yeah
"someone once lied to us now we're not so blind" hits different
Shows just how bad of a toll Scar's reign had on the animals of the Pride Lands. Not to mention the fact that they had to deal with him AGAIN when he came back as a spirit.
We dont talk about bruno really learned a lot in this song.
This song is a masterpiece.
No way, I was thinking the same thing. I once called 'We don't talk about Bruno' the 20's equivalent 'Not one of us'. I think 'Not one of us' fits Bruno rather well.
bro, not even the Madrigal family went so hard
We don’t talk about Bruno was a little more comedic of course. I’m in my 30’s and this still makes me cry
Honestly it’s hard to believe how underrated this movie still is. I personal love it
Simba : Exile¡¡¡
Other animals : *ROAST MODE ACTIVATED*
"I'm going to break Uncle Iroh from prison, and BEG for his forgiveness. I've realized he's been a REAL father to me. Though I have come to an even bigger decision. I'm gonna join the Avatar, and help him defeat YOU."
i live avatar but.... why?
+Nick Lewis I live avatar too
Very similar emotions in that scene but the actual events taking place are completely the opposite. The same ideas expressed but Zuko has moved past his trauma with being exiled to the point that he is, in effect, doing that same thing to himself. The emotional parallels between the scenes show the differences in character development for those two facially scarred characters.
I love the passion and power of that scene
oh yea.
This movie was basically a lion king fanfic and I’m all about it
omg ikr
Mate same xD
Man you just threw me back to thinking of the lion king fanfic I made in POWERPOINT when I was 11-12 on my account on the school computers 😭
I genuinely want that back somehow, just so I can see what younger me was cooking up with all the pictures pasted from Google, but that account has long been deleted so I'm out of luck, sadly
The whole song is a masterpiece but I especially LOVE the flute part at the beginning of the song! Just beautiful
Do you believe in each and every single animal in the lyrics that they are 100% right about Kovu??
You agree with ALL they are singing/saying about him??
This is truly the best Disney movie series. The Lion King has truly outdone itself.
Do you 100% believe Simba was acting how a *true* really does and be?
its 2022 but this song still gives me goose bumps when i hear it .The same way it made me feel when i was younger
Same with me
"Let him run, let him live, but do not forget what we cannot forgive" is just very emotional. Simba's entire pride including every animal beside the lions were deeply affected by the revelation of how Scar murdered Mufasa, a king they all loved, and also the attempt on Simba's life. And they're so triggered just by Kovu looking the part that they aren't willing to listen to anyone's judgement but Simba's, because they also love Simba. It just speaks more incredible volumes to the way the antelope singer keeps reciting, "Deception." It just makes me feel for the entire pride and we don't even hear about them all.
This is low-key the best Disney song.
I felt so bad for Kovu
same
me too but it wasn't right of him to help his mom just to do a favor for scar in the first place but that was still bold
RocketVoice Mlp™ that's what I'm saying it's crazy that he was with his mom to do a favor for scar cause he was raised to follow in scars prints but when he met Kiara he changed but he couldn't be forgiven cause it was too late
same
Snape Snape Severus Snape Same. But this song was so good.
"Just leave us alone!" "Free to go back with your own." Those words cut me every time! I feel like little Anna from Frozen getting rejected by those I considered family
I loved Lion King 2. Don't get the bad reviews.
IKR?!
i wish lion guard had the same vibe as the first 3 movies
i agree it was one of my faves
CloudsSting I love the Lion Guard, but I know what you mean.
Fuck the lion guard
could almost be prince zuko's theme song from Avatar: The Last Airbander
O.O
Bang on
the creepy thing is. how similar they are to each other, they are related to someone thats the antagonist, treated as one as well. has a sibling that is evil as well. rejected by one of the protagonist (ish) turned away from his family because of a mistake. has a scar. missing parent.
It's not fit for him.
Yes he was exiled and has a scar, but he did not betray anyone and no one considers him evil and a threat.
***** I may be mistaken but after joining the group I don't think he ever really betrayed them. The song does work though - his betrayal was against the fire nation.
me: exists
the kids at my high school: "He is not one of us."
Man black people can sing with soul
Love Bird well the movie take place in Africa. So yeah black people sing better and that hippo voice😃.
RJcruzzer hell yea that hippo lol
Music is our way to freedom. Music is also a way to discuss our pain. That’s why when we sing, you can feel whatever we are singing about.
Michaela Fleming 100% true
Michaela Fleming i cry when I listen to it ... I feel it
1:01 - 1:21 such powerful part
I'd say the powerful moment is 0:00 to 2:43

This was a straight to video Disney movie. Modern Disney can't even touch this level of emotion in their big productions

•Zira: I have failed you, Kovu. ...I have failed you.

•Zira: Kovu, King Simba is evil!

•Zira: *_WELL THEN, YOU ARE LOST!!!_*
When I was a kid, when ever this scene was on and even now, I feel so deeply for Kiara, bless her 🧡
When you first came here you ask for judgement. And I pass it now! EXILE!
Kiara knew what he was going to say, right before he said it.
Me: SIMBA!! How dare you!?! 😡😡🤬🤬 What would your father say about what you're doing????
Deception...Disgrace...those words only meant for Scar, not for Kovu T__T
That's all they see when they look at him, the next Scar
True
That's probably what everyone was thinking the minuet Scar told everyone he killed Mufasa.
As well The Hyenas when Scar ratted them out to just to save his own sorry skin.
"Someone once lied to us
Now we are not so bliiiiiiind"
There it is, they didnt want their home to be overtaken by greed and evil *again*
@@aitipsea3909 exactly, it shows how scar treated them in the time he was king
As a kid, I thought that this song/scene in the movie was no big deal; they just drove Kovu out of their area..
As a young adult it hits so hard now. Kovu is a character that represents every person who's ever been rejected by groups from both sides of their life. He was raised by a bitter, revengeful mother and family, but he's not bad. Nevertheless, owing to where he comes from, he's labelled as greedy and wicked by others who don't understand that it's wrong to generalise. He was accused and blamed for something he didn't do and didn't know about either. He wants to be accepted as 'good' but doesn't get the chance. The way he's driven out and excluded is really sad, with an entire musical number dedicated to vilifying him and pushing forward the point that he's an outcast. Only this time, he's an outcast from both sides. I'm sure many people in real life would be able to identify somewhat with this.
Yes to all of this.
And at the same time it doesnt paint the Pride Land people as evil or wicked, they got burned once when Scar took the throne, and seeing one of his pride come back ruffled some feathers but it wasnt until the Outcasts ambushed Simba while he was alone with Kovu and made sure to go "Well done Kovu, just as planned" right in Simbas face before trying to kill him, so either Simba died and all was well for a hostile takeover of the Pride Lands or he managed to survive and Kovu got burned over there.
Just out of pure vindictive spite when Kovu wouldnt be the Assassin they wanted him to be.
So in that light it was understandable that the Pride Lands people acted on that proof, horrible as it was.
This is absolutely one of my favorite movie songs ever.
I cried during this part of the movie....
Me to bro when frist sene the movie
Neon Clan I still do
iDid not cry
I didn't cry at this scene, but I remember my jaw dropping when the monkeys started throwing stones at Kovu.
Everybody talking about the Zebra voices, but that hippo got me shook.
This song goes SO HARD!!!! Like it had NO BUSINESS going this hard!!! The voices and drum beat meshed together PERFECTLY during the "but do not forget what we can not forgive!" I will listen to that part repeatedly for a good 10 minutes just soaking in its beauty!!
For all the ones who got rejected, forgotten by humanity, outsiders, running away from war. Because of the ancestors and other reasons this song can totally fits.
Oof do you think this is how the african american people felt in the past and in today's era? Maybe thats why their all being so pushy with the black lives matter thing of their's.
@@regraby3544 you think so?
i'm half black and half white and i feel the same way as you all do.
Someone once lied to us
Now, we’re not so blind
Holy fuck, these are some HARD hitting lines. So revealing.
To me, they're being arrogant and lying! They really ARE blind!
Because they are SO _consumed_ by their *hatred* for Scar, they see ONLY what they *want* to see! Am I right???
This song reminds me of Malfoy later on.
i agree!! this is amazing
Greg Goodenough Have you not seen Harry Potter ???? Draco Malfoy is the kid who's dad is a death eater.
Draco is soon to be a death eater. Until the dark lord was destroyed

I don’t know why so many people put hate on this movie, I loved it!!
Fr
Very few songs give me as intense goosebumps as this song does. The melody, words and sentiment are genius. My favorite Disney song ever.
I love this song. I'm an outcast in my own family.
thekrustykrabpizza!!! !!!
Lol and yet your username is catchy.
Why? Doesn't your family love you?
Just learn to forgive and move on. You are responsible for your own life, not them. Improve yourself
“Born in greed, raised in hate, helpless to defy his fate”
"Let him run, let him live, but do not forget what we cannot forgive."
This song is actually very satisfying to listen to when someone you once trusted betrays you. I recommend listening to this if you ever been hurt by someone if only this could happen to those people.
@@RedPandaGirl002 Do you really need to be that person? You Clearly, don't understand the comment. For one I wasn't talking about Kovu (that should have been obvious) and two wasn't suppose to be taken seriously. But I guess I need to be more specific for now on.
@@RedPandaGirl002 They could be sometimes just like everyone has certain thoughts that they carry from time to time. It was meant to be relatable for anyone might have been currently betrayed depending on the person or situation (cheaters, abusers, evil people, people who betray their country, whatever the case). Your saying you wouldn't be satisfied if this situation didn't happen to another character (let's say if Scar was still alive).
Another example, it's like when you watch Batman interrogate someone on TV, video games, or comic books, (like in Arkham Knight when Batman snaps the thugs arm for gassing the cop in the beginning of the game) the next you hear someone say "if only Baman could interrogate (the worst person you could think of)." Again not meant to be taken seriously but something for someone to feel satisfied for a moment incase they were feeling that way.
@@RedPandaGirl002
You: shouts at people in the comments and accuses them of things they didn’t do.
Them: Tells you off gently.
Also you: calm down you guys, you’re so meeeeaaan.
Seriously, how old are you?
@@RedPandaGirl002 there’s no reason for you to defend Kovu though. Everyone here agrees with you. There’s this thing called dramatic irony in films, where the audience knows something about the characters or plot, that the characters do not. WE as an audience know that Kovu was not to blame for Zira’s attack, but Simba doesn’t know that. The point of that scene was that Zira’s set Kovu up so that the characters THINK that Kovu was behind it. So it makes sense given what he thinks he knows for Simba to exile him.
But what you aren’t realising is that nobody here thinks Simba is correct. There is a difference between understanding the reason behind someone’s actions, and supporting said actions. We do not support Simbas decisions, but we can understand WHY he’s doing what he’s doing. It’s ok to understand a character’s motivations without supporting them, because that’s what makes characters complex and morally grey.
@@RedPandaGirl002 I haven’t seen any comments like these throughout this entire video. I think you’re making these up and jumping to conclusions just to start arguments that don’t need to exist because you crave attention.
Song of outsiders.
No doubt!
Maybe a Soc song
I always thought this song was my theme as a kid: not really fitting in and feeling like I might be rejected forever. Luckily that's not quite the case today, but these lyrics still stick.
WishfulThinkingArt Same, I'm in Missourid
Zuko is the only person I think of hearing this song now. GOD that show is like pretty much perfect.
G o d d a m n .
You can only pick up so many of the words they’re saying in the movie, but now actually reading them... wow. It’s so powerful with a breathtaking choir. Chills.
in this song i imagine every type of bully-victim singing about their experience with bullying. "deception. Disgrace"
sort of a way to get a inside-look of what their everyday looks like. all the mean words getting thrown at them daily
StotSie as someone who was bullied I actually agree with you on that, yet I can see that they thought this way of me when I was facing suspension because of what a teacher's bully like actions led me to react like. I did get to hear the events that happened after. But I do agree with you fully
Yeah. Being bullied sucks. Now I just make mean people terrified of me and thus the bullying of me and anyone else stopped.
When someone from your squad betrays you.
For real
Hahaha
I just blocked their number.
Deception! An outrage! Disgrace! For shame! Let him run... Let him live... But do not forget what we can not forgive ☠
I felt that 😔
I bawled my eyes out at this scene when I was a kid.
28 years , showing this to my husband who had never seen it. Still bawling.
Simba was being such a *HORRIBLE* king in the sequel! AM I RIGHT??? 😡🤬💢
The way they sings deception and disgrace at the end gives me goosebumps and childhood memories. I love it so much. This song is like a church choir song.
Even after all these years this song and We Are One are tied for my all time favorites
Erron Hammesvar lion king songs are unmatched
When people are taller than me...
Choco Wat i feel your pain being 4'8 at 15.

People taller than average height feel the same way tho.
I feel ya.
Such a great song. Very relatable if you've ever been publicly shunned. Whether or not it was actually your fault, these lyrics hit pretty hard.
I honestly love this song especially the " But do not forget, what we can not forgive." Part ."We are one" also my grandma always told me we are one , when she died six years ago I kept saying ,seeing and hearing her say "We are one chispilina I love you" .I'm turning thirteen and still want to see more of the Lion King movies made / all the Lion King movies remaid.
Except the third one😭
When you finally get that villager you disliked off your island in animal crossing.
Lol it's like kicking him off the island in Animal Crossing New Horizons or exiling them.
I wish I could animate just so I could make that.
Underrated comment
I'll play this when dotty decides to leave
i have never once stopped being impressed with the amount of pure vocal talent in this performance, they really went all out for this
After seeing the Nostalgia Critic's review of the movie recently I felt like comming here to listen to this song.
Chuck Lee omg sameeeee
I just want to sing along with this song. It's just so good!
You know the pride is not fucking around when they bring out the soulful zebra and gazelle, and hippo bass.
i felt bad for Kovu and Kiara when he got denied being one of them Kiara tried to help him and her family and Dad wouldnt let her near him or accept him back in the Kingdom cause she loves him Sad
This song will stuck in my mind forever.
I feel like this is an under appreciated song. It blends the sound of a mob yelling, and singing together, so well.
This song gives me chills lol so deep and still so very true for people in the world we let one or two people define everyone
This song in avatar:
"Someone once lied to us. Now we're not so blind."
Toph: EXCUSE ME?
Everyone: Sorry...
DBZayan I'm done
that was more of a reference of Scar when he lied.
But genuinely this is one of the most epic and powerful songs in Disney movies. Up there with Hellfire and Savages I say
Helllllll FIREEEEEE DARKKKKK fireeeee
Ngl Hellfire's iconic but I never really enjoyed the tune. This song is so much more enjoyable for me; like, I will go out of my way to listen to it multiple times a day.
I get chills. I haven't seen the movie (or at least, I was too young to remember) though I know it's about Kovu being exiled, and the emotion of the vocals are so powerful! It throws you into empathy of both sides, and ah, it's so good! Disney has never disappointed me.
Perfect song for Theon Greyjoy.
He deserved what he got
Or Jon, from catelyn's point of view of course
Brian Callahan I think it fits Jon from the POV of Catelyn or the Night's Watch brothers who stabbed him.
I get chills every time I see Kovu looking at his reflection and Scar appears.
Wow this song is really powerful to be a Disney movie omg! Honestly Lion King 2 was a good movie same with all the other ones.I love this song and the movie.Also who the hell did the voice of the Zebras damn they can sing.OMG!
I could imagine the Changeling singing this when Chrysalis [maybe] banished Thorax.
Omg yes!!!
Agreed
YES!
They sang this song when they were banishing him
Ah, I see you’re a pony of culture like me. Fellow MLP fan here. :)
Crazy part is that if someone were truly "helpless to defy their fate", then that individual would be blameless. Thing is, no one has to be like their parents if they don't want to.
This can fit perfectly for a hero turning evil.
