Lemon Demon - You're at the Party (2012 Demo)

lemondemon.com/rarities
Early version, some different lyrics

[@Fartmaster6523]

At the ending of the song I like how it seems more fast paced then the official version

[@TheRedMC]

I don't know if it's just me but I've always felt like this song, both versions apparently, give weird and ominous cosmic horror vibes. I'm not sure how to explain it fully

[@wittykittywoes]

i like to imagine its the human brain trying to comprehend the afterlife while slowly dying of blood loss

[@retro_cows]

feel like that one sort of the intention, it is supposed to be about a fever dream (or, maybe not, lol) and, idk, fever dreams get like that

[@retro_cows]

then there's the whole part where times stops existing and all (side note, aside from the genius line "it's not a nightmare" that part is the best part of the whole song, how he uses the hour hand of a clock disappearing to represent time just, not existing anymore, fucking genius)

[@thatonedude9005]

There should be a version of this where it uses this instrumental and the vocals from the original non demo version. I think the instrumental of this works better with the official bonus track lyrics

[@wittykittywoes]

no significant harassment

Tfw you get so attached to your comfort character you start hallucinating their name in yt comments.

Lyrics
Hour hand's gone from 12 to 3 now 4
You haven't slept all night
All the noise and light of party songs next door are too much
And they don't know or care
You are not anywhere they can see
Vacantly they scream like children
Where's their mother you wisecrack unheard
But as the night goes on
It turns to dawn
The noise grows more absurd almost damn more
How they like to see
The hideous cacophony
Fever breaks
Someone, something takes your hand you don't understand
You can't understand this
Eyes shut tight, never open up
(Too late) You've been invited
(Too late) You're at the party
(Wake up, wake up)
And it's a place you've seen before
You've seen before
A place you've seen before you were born
You've been invited (too late)
You're at the party (too late)
You're not alone (too late)
You've been invited (too late)
You're at the party and you're not alone
(Too late) You've been invited
(Wake up) You're at the party
(Too late) You're not alone
(Wake up) You've been invited
(Too late) You're at the party
(Wake up) You're not alone
(Too late) You've been invited
(Wake up) You're at the party
(Too late) You're not alone
(Wake up) You've been invited
(Too late)
You're at the party and you notice that the sun's not rising and the birds are dead
There's empty clothes on the floor where people were before
And the dream won't leave your head
It won't leave you
Something in the sky
In the corner of your eye shines on you
It's the moon and it's not happy
Hour hand's gone and now you're feeling cold
Something happened here that has not happened since the days of old
It begins to rain
Maybe you have gone insane, probably have gone insane
Probably can go back into your home
Back into your slumber
Eyes shut tight, never open up
You've been invited
You're at the party
And it's a place you've seen before
(Too late)
You've been invited (too late)
You're at the party
(Wake up, wake up)
It's a place you've seen before
You've seen before
A place you've been before you were born
Before you were born
Before you were born
Before you were born
You've been invited (Too late)
You're at the party (Wake up)
You're not alone (Too late)
You've been invited (Wake up)
You're at the party (Too late)
You're not alone (Wake up)
You've been invited (Too late)
You're at the party (Wake up)
You're not alone (Too late)
You've been invited (Wake up)
You're at the party and you're not alone

I think the 13th line where you put the (?) is supposed to be cacophony

[@jmr.gif-YT]

@@rakc1027 thanks for letting me know!

[@TheCappuccino04]

could be wrong but I'm pretty sure he says "almost damning" and then "howling lifelessly"

[@pasadenaspartacus]

"it's the moon and it's not happy" is such a killer line.

[@aliengamer6668]

Actually. I think its "almost deafening​" @TheCappuccino04
