From the demo recorded by Jeremy Jordan and Jarrod Spector in NY.

Lyrics:
[Light]
Time to rethink
And begin
With a brand new game plan
Margin for error is slim
[L]
He’s on the brink
He can win
I can’t use the same plan
Time to start thinking like him
[Light] What would I do if I got inside his head?
[L] Thought like him instead?
[Light] Could it be
[L] Possibly
[Light & L]
I’ll catch him when
I look through his eyes
See what he sees
And then improvise
Until I can learn what puts him at ease
I’ll walk in his shoes
As long as it takes
Till deep in my bones
I’m sure he’s
One and the same as the me who is playing his game
[Light]
What does he do
Late at night
When the world is sleeping
Does he see pixels, not dreams
[L]
Hard to be true
Always right
All that promise keeping
Harder I’m sure than it seems
[Light] How would it be if I saw the world like him?
[L] Like a synonym
[Light] Bit by bit
[L] Wit by wit
[Light & L]
Catch him I will
I’ll mimic his will
And learn his routines
And feel the same thrill
Whenever my end is served by his means
I’ll walk in his shoes
As long as it takes
Till deep in my bones
I’m sure he is
One and the same as the me who is playing his game
[L]
Steady
I must be ever so careful
Don’t move until you are ready
He will be careful too…
[Light]
Know it
Always stay calm and collected
Don’t lose your cool or you’ll blow it
Then he will unravel you
[Light & L]
Get into his head
And under his skin
The things that he said
The food that he likes
The places he’s been
I’ll look through his eyes
And see what he sees
Till I see the forest, not just the trees
I’ll mimic his will
And learn his routines
And feel the same thrill and know what it means
I’ll walk in his shoes
As long as it takes
Till deep in my bones I’m sure
I’m winning my game while I’m saying
I’m playing his game
I do not own Death Note or this song.

Singing an aggressive duet while sitting among roses that contrast each other in colour
Nemesis goals
Damn man what have _I_ been doing all these years. Man, I wish I had someone to do this with. Anyone wanna be nemeses for like 3 minutes just to do this?
True
- konpeito me😹
@Dragongirl 98765 still works here, though
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Light was Kira,
And L knew.
This one song is better than the entirety of the Netflix movie
A child's rendering of death note is better than netflix version lol
That's not even a fair comparison!
Honestly though even if it’s not a fair comparison
No one is allowed to shame me for liking this song
Sarah C nobody wants to. It's a fucking awesome song
I like this too
"... Does he see pixels not dreams." I'm so digging that whole verse. I'd bet that the line is referring to how little L sleeps, and Light's consideration of L's tenacity. He doesn't do what most people do at night, he rarely rests. He continues his work relentlessly, not letting up, most usually in front of a screen. Pixels, not dreams.
It’s also possible to take it in a more specific sense: Light is referencing a specific dream, _his_ specific dream. Light is not realizing that L has the same plan as him. Light’s dream is to rid the world of crime, but Light believes that L can’t see that and that he only sees the data on the screen that shows how many people Kira has killed. I think it’s talking about the specific dream that Light has, and then it intertwines with what you said.
I'm in love. Literally. Can I marry this song? Not only do I LOVE Death Note but JEREMY JORDAN is Light and I don't know who the other guy is but he is legendary because L goes higher than Light which makes me even love him more. B SJEOVEKMKDKEN WJDNDK
Same 🍎 🍰
"Whenever my end is served by my means" ugh that line gives me chills because we all know how that turned out
It kinda bothers me. 2 lines could have easily been done better.
"He will be careful too," and "whenever my end is served by his means."
"He will be careful too" is just too redundant to me. It's like singing about the guy in front of you in line for ice cream and subtly implying that he also might want some ice cream.
"Whenever my end is served by his means." bugs me because, again, it's obvious. They both know their deaths will be brought on by the other as that's the whole point of this collision course.
Lines that only serve to pander to people who know the franchise just bug me because the original series and manga were both created so that newcomers would be able to experience them free. There's nothing in the manga or show that looks at the audience and goes "you've seen death note, right?"
owlflame um, what? Of course the song lyrics make sense to the people who read or watched it. That's what it's supposed to do. Go watch it if it bugs you that much
owlflame I could argue with you on all point but I really only want to on one.
"Whenever my end is served by his means" it could refer to their deaths, yes. But that would be the secondary meaning at best. The saying refers to when someone else does the work to reach your goal. This makes sense in the song because they are both trying to one up each other by manipulating the field and causing the other to help him win. Ex. Light needs to get on the task force (Light's end) L invites him (L's mean) Light's end was served by L's means.
I dislike the lyrics for the most part, but I thought the "whenever my end" line is pretty clever. I feel the lyrics were too cliched and edgy for the most part e.g. the line "till I see the forest and not just the trees" made me cringe.
I think this song is prefect: if they tried to take it too seriously or write something really profound, it would be horrendous. It's only bearable for it's silliness. And I think the 'end is served by his means' line is a pun, like the 'I'm playing his game' joke, as they are playing tennis when singing this.
2:41 That harmony with the " 'Till I see the forest, not just the trees" sent me to heaven for a second.
Much more accurate than the Netflix movie lol
Amanda Rajnauth exactly
Like that's hard
Omg it really is
Agreed.
@1:40 I wasn't looking at the lyrics for a second and I thought L said, "like a cinnamon" and for a second I was confused, but I thought..."well it is L..." so I went back to the spot and like "okay, I guess that makes sense."
I am literally crying
"the food that he likes" well, Light likes potato chips and L likes anything sweet... and bananas
shrumez Don't forget strawberries
shrumez and strawberries
Strawberries are very important on that list.
Bananas and strawberries aren't sweet?
SarSaraneth
They are, just not typically considered when thinking of sweets.
L singing. MY DREAMS HAVE COME TRUE
LadyEclipsedAura x Same here, i LOVE L he's just....swbwgtewfqhbgs i cant find words to describe him just facerolling works
Rome the Meme that's nice
Rome the Meme
Agreed!
Sakiyo Strawberries . The voice actor for L sings Barbie songs. So it sounds like L is singing
Dallas White
No way..........
But L has no shoes... He´s dammed.
Jixez WCon nah, he's just related to a hobbit xD
Blue Melody NO I AM NOT... I just... I.. I can't tie shoe laces....
Jixez WCon well technically L wears sandals to go outside
Ikr XD
Oh shit
I've heard this like 30 times in less than a day
Arwen Rivera Technically speaking, that's not possible lmao
Detective Ryuzaki lol true
I heard unlimited
Well now I know what to put in that little blank for "favorite song"
“Alumina” by Nightmare
I just found my new favorite song
And I just found Kira
Misheard lyric at the end.
"I'm praying he's gay" cannot be unheard
Sheepo25 AGH
Omg yes! 😂
OMG 😂😂😂😂 except L x Light bothers me cuz they are enemies
omg why lol
Sheepo25 SCREEEAAAAMMMMM
*L sings*
Me: Oh god my fangirling is coming! Nope too late!
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK
oh no the fangirl is starting
Hmm, Light, I'm sure you'd LOVE to know what L thinks of at night.
HENTAI! :D
Ayano Aishi YAS XD
YES-
6

Why do you always have to make shit so degenerate?
How do you walk in L's shoes???
Simple: you don't
I_Dropped_It You cut off his feet.
DAILY DOGGO Very carefully. XD
THE OSTRICHES WILL OVERCOME he don't got none so good luck light
Take off your shoes
"ILL WALK IN HIS SHOES"
L: I don't have shoes.
Light: OH NO. I NEED A NEW LYRIC
This... this needs to be my ringtone or something! XD
SciEnCe! ILL LOOK THROUGH HIS EYESSS
I'd buy it on ITunes
*heavy breathing* 😍
Wow, I was actually doubting this to be any good but this has positively surprised me!
"Whenever my end is served by his means"
Because we all know how that turned out..........
Actually I'm having trouble understanding that line... Mind helping me out?
Athena Zhou Well, Light and L thrive off of competition, and the fact that at any given moment, they could win against the other thrills them. That is what I take it as.
In L’s case, when he sings that, he is referencing to the fact that even though the percentage may be small-since L’s name is unknown to Light-he could be killed by Light using the Death Note. Light means that he may get caught by L.
Alexus C. ... can you repaet that in english please and not spanish? :P
I did write it in English.
Fake Name what they both die?
Subtext, what subtext? This is BLATANT TEXT IN ITS FINEST FORM.
have you seen the musical?
totally obsessed with this song! god i hope they end up doing it all in english!
I love both L and Light they were both amazing.
I got chills down my spine. I'd love to see Fall Out Boy cover this, with Brendon Urie as L.
OMG YES
That needs to happen
YES YES YES
*YES*
I love this so much I wish I could watch the musical, I bet I would adore it
Millie Bryony ikr I'd learn japanese just to see it.
Almost forgot to watch this today
I listened to this high and it sounded like he said "like a cinnamon" around 1:40 I died xD
MisfitToy when u said that I couldn't UNHEAR it 😂😂
MisfitToy
I just listened to it normally and I thought L said "Like A Cinnamon" too! XD
I heard it when I first listened to it, why must those words sound so similar?
I mean, it would make sense for L to talk about cinnamon 😂
Lol I watched this video high too
This is fucking badass. L is my senpai.
+Arwen Rivera Swanson But L is my senpai
Why can't we share him ;-)
Because I already claimed that territory ;)
I love this song and it is literally death note in a nut shell.
When he sings "like a synonym" I always understand "like a cinnamon"
Not too off for L
"The food that he likes!" Well prepare to have diabetes light..
They both sound like a sexy rock band lead singer :3
Like the singing, but I think the Korean version has the best acting!
"I'll walk in his shoes"
Sorry to tell you light, but L doesn't wear shoes...
Love it Jeremy Jordan as light that's perfect casting
I agree his voice just fits light
It's so... beautiful.
L,s voice is great
Perfect sound ☆
I ♡ Death Note
Ah , i'm from Brazil
Nathalia drawings Quem diria, mais alguém do Brasil ;v;)
this is sexual tension
Cherry Blossom 👉🏻🌚👉🏻
Lol
THANK YOU FOR DOING A LYRICS VIDEO!!!!
I need a minute. JEREMY FRICKIN JORDAN IS LIGHT! (runs off fangirling in the corner) ALSO how the hell is light supposed to fit into L's shoes if he doesn't have any! AAAAND I am now learning L's part to this song because L is love, L is life (sorry it had to happen) BUT WAIT I HAVE MORE, this needs to come to the west end, I have the perfect casting: Brendon Urie (yes he should come to the west end aswell) as L, Tom Fletcher as Light (this is about to get weird) and Carrie Hope Fletcher as Misa (there's the weird part)
You know, Light beat L... But, he had the upper hand knowing he was Kira. Who would have won if L was Kira and Light was trying to figure him out?
Deylan Dean I blame the dad
Without Rem Light would've never won
Am I the only one who is in love with this picture
BECAUSE IT SHOWS THE JESUS AND SHOWS THE DEVIL
Yeah it’s a pretty cool depiction
Where can I find the full musical in english? If it's out yet. I don't know.
derpy tubester The full musical isn't out yet, but I'm not 100% sure if it's going to play in English... They never said anything about it playing in English, but because of all the demos coming out it might :) the website (The 'original link' in the description) says some stuff about when it's coming out, I think it's going to come out it June or July.
Alright, thanks.
If I had to guess, they are going to gauge the success in Japan, and adapt it if it is successful. After all, if they can't sell it in Japan, where manga/anime is most popular and anime bears no stigma, it probably won't survive in Stateside (or elsewhere)
Yes, that makes sense. Thank you.
derpy tubester After Japan the musical is moving to Seoul, Korea, actually with Hong Kwang Ho (who did well at West End in Miss Saigon) as Light.
I broke my reply button.
Me too. :)
*Replay
XD
Maybe he just wanted a lot of replies?
Here a new one!! I broke mine too😅😂
Replay button:
00:00
Lol
I'm triggered I heard people saying the English sound track was bad and I'm listening to it now and it's very good is this just me
No we all think it’s great
Honestly as a L X Light fangirl the lyrics kiLled mE
EmoDanny MSP Ikr! "Feel the same thrill" DN can't get any gayer.
EmoDanny MSP The Japanese ones are so much gayer tho
At the end, instead of "i'm playing his game" I thought he said "i'm praying he's gay" XD
IKR!!!!
@@NaehwarAenglande omg imagine
Omg it actually sounds like it
Me when I debate with my parents on a perfect excuse for why I'm late coming home
Lol, that was funny and a satisfying break from all the gay shit people are saying in the comments
I will never unhear the tension that these two would have as a couple. Thanks comments!
Lol
How? There’s literally no tension at all, you just have to not live your life like a perverted degenerate, this is why people mock us Anime fans the community is full of trashy fucking sickos 🤦♂️
this sounds like a very aggressive gay duet
Jente Uuuuhhh, Mika and Yu (one or two u?) 😍
Jente wait till you hear staillmate
Jente because it is
The original song from Japanese version of the musical is even gayer, with lines like: "Our hearts becoming one"
The whole series is one aggressive gay duet
This is amazing! I love these songs and this has got to be my favorite. I wish they would bring the musical back.
It's 2020, and i'm still listening to this
I believe the line is "Catch him, I win", not "will". It's rhymed with "saw the world like him".
Yes, you can hear it clearly in the song, too.
i have never enjoyed a song as much as i did this one...😊🖒
In the background image light just seems so sick of L's bullsh*t
just like in canon :)
Why is this Romance anime called Death Note? Is it about one of the couple moving on from a breakup ?
It's not a romance anime xD Man, have you even watched it?
bro its not a romance its a psychological thriller
I want this to be a legit comment and not a joke, please
Precious Roll Same lmao
Precious Roll same, please tell me this guy is serious
This got uploaded 2 years ago...AND I'M STILL LISTENING TO IT!
Honestly, I love this song so much! I'm gonna learn the lyrics! XD
OMG THIS IS AMAZING!!!!
This is so amazing!!!! I love it so much!
Love it!!! Gotta see it on stage in NYC
I woke up yesterday with this song randomly playing in my head :)

This is just wonderful.
this is perfection 😍
Beautiful fanart!
Favorite song I love this!
This is too awesome
THIS IS SO GOOD IM GOING TO CRYYYY
*SCREAMS IN VARIAN AND HUGO*
WHY DID YOU HAVE TO POINT THAT OUT!?!
Oh my I can't stop listening to it. but I need to stop cause I haven't seen the musical. But I just don't. And I hope that's good? Well I love how L sings! Eek! meh dreams came true! And Light. teehee it makes me giggle and blush. Love this song!
I love this song so much
Dont watch death note
Probably will
But I ship this 😂
Wow it's been a week and I'be finished all 37 episodes 😂
it fits so well
I will inject his soul into my veins
Astoundingly, the Japanese version (Inside Of Him) manages to be even gayer!
That song touched my soul
this is amazing, in 1.25 speed
its actuslly good sped up
It feels more intense...
I love light.
Virginia Henry finally another person who loves light!!!!!!!!!! ♡♡♡♡
i wish this song was a just a bit longer. Goddamn they belong with each other
They ain’t gay you fucking weirdo
AWESOME
Light's voice 😍
Who is your favorite death note character
Mine's Matsuda
mine’s misa :3 but matsuda’s second :D
Mine are Ryuk, Mello and L
Ryuk, L, Sochiro, in that order
this actually isn't bad? why haven't i found this before?
ikr The musical is the reason I watched the show and now own the manga. It's brilliant
IM GETTING SO MUCH CHILLS
LOOOOOOOOOVE IT
OMG!!!!!!!!!! esta canción es increíble
I love this song especially without misa butting in. Misa just messes this great song up, so thank you for this!!!
I think you're getting this song confused with "Stalemate."
I love this
The chorus reminds me of the miraculous ladybug opening, please don’t tell me I’m alone in this!
this made me weep of beauty
Love it
Amazing Goof VERY GOOD
This souds so good.. And good picture
its beatiful
L sees cake not pixels
This is kinda hot...
The voices match each other so satisfyingly it's fucking perfect
