Juno was mad, he knew he’d been had,
so he shot at the sun with a gun.
Shot at the sun with a gun.
Oh, he shot at his wily one only friend.

[ha- hahaha, ha-ha-ha-ha HA.]

[Well listen to this.
He shot and he missed.
And so Juno got what he deserved.
Imprisonment was all that he earned.
So let’s stop on in and see if he learned a goddamn thing.]


In the gallows, or the ghetto.
In the town, or the meadow.
In the billows, even over the sun.
Every end of a time is another begun.

You understand, mechanical hands
are the ruler of everything.
Aaa.
Ruler of everything.
Aaa.
I’m the ruler of everything in the end.


Do you like how I dance? I got zirconium pants.
Consequential enough to slip you into a trance.
Do you like how I walk? Do you like how I talk?
Do you like how my face disintegrates into chalk?
I have a wonderful wife, I got a powerful job.
She criticizes me for being egocentric.
Ha ha ha, ha.

You practice your mannerisms into the wall.
If this mirror were clear, I’d be standing so tall.
I saw you stumble over clovers on the side of the hill.
I was observing the birds, circle in for the kill.

I pin you, I know you, your facade is a scam.
You know you’re making me cry, this is the way that I am.
I’ve been living a lie, a metamorphical scheme.
Detective undercover, brotherhood, objective, obscene.

Oh, no, no, oh yeah.


(Do you hear the flibbity jibbity jibber jabber?
With an “Oh my God, I’ve gotta get out of here while I have another
word to sell, another story to tell.
Another time piece ringing the bell.”
Do you hear the clock stop when you reach the end?
No, you know it must be never ending, comprehend if you can
but when you try to pretend to understand
you resemble a fool, although you’re only a man
so give it up and smile.)

()


Now you understand, mechanical hands
[Now I understand, mechanical hands]
are the ruler of everything.
Ruler of everything.
I’m the ruler of everything in the end.
[You’re the ruler of everything in the end.]

Without looking down, gliding around.
Like a bumbling dragon, I fly.
[Like a bumbling dragon, you fly.]
Scraping my face on the sky.
[Scraping your face on the sky.]

Oh, no, no, oh yeah.

  • @LOL-bs1hg
    "He shot and he MISSED" that changes the tone of the song a lot
  • @LucasAndSuch
    Imagine- this guy doing The Mind Electric. BONKERS.
  • @SearaChar
    HYPERFIXATION IS NOT ENOUGH I NEED TO EAT THE SONG
  • I like how the improvised lyrics and overall tone give "Time" a more malevolent or at least sadistic tone In the original "Time" was merely critizising and pointing out to the Human the nature of his own being and he (Time) is in charge of everything and he shouldn't bother trying to change that Here Time sojnds liek he's outright going at him with everything and doing all he can to humiliate him, to "teach hin a goddamn lesson' because he (the Human) attmepted to overcome time
  • @Courruptedkat
    “Heart what you got there” ”A FUCKING GLOCK”
  • I love how this song feels like it connects with the lyrics he added to "Hidden in the Sand" reguarding Juno shooting at the sun. Absolutely beautiful
  • @Juno0nPawz
    " You Know you're making me cry!" When is he not crying? ...
  • @top-script
    i love the beginning, because it feels like a normal cover, off put by the laughter, and officially sent off the rails because he missed. if i could get permission to use this in an animation, id love to do it! edit: i did not expect this comment to get popular, but i must say that i am not an animator and probably wont make the animation for a while (sorry to disappoint)
  • So pretty late. But here’s my interpretation: Pretty late to the party, but I see this cover as Juno going insane, crazy in prison. The clock, or mechanical hands. Counting down the time until he dies. The white part is Juno: He’s in a happy crazy state. Living in a fantasy land and distracting himself from his inevitable death. The black part is the clock, constantly bringing him back to the reality that he’s going to die. The part where they both sing, is the part where Juno is finally at his breaking point. Insanity and death become one. The end of the song is Juno finally understanding time has come for him not as punishment but as peace. Peace from insanity Juno did learn a thing in the end.
  • @Juicimated
    The original lyrics you added gave me fucking CHILLS
  • @NaveeSeal
    I think an animation of this would perfectly illustrate how much things changed by the fact Juno missed. Like after the initial "Juno was mad" part, it cuts off, you hear a gunshot, and then the laugh comes in, and it cuts back in, there's a bullet hole on the floor, with Juno and his friend staring at each other. (Maybe that bullet was the last in the chamber)
  • @rulamantic
    With the addition of the new verse this really makes for a cool concept Juno is a fine killer. One of skill. He's murdered many souls, but this time...his aim wasn't too keen... And the fool got away We now watch as the spirits he damned come back to taunt him with riddles and rhymes before police inevitably arrive to serve them the justice they never got in life
  • Sounds like what I imagine a baby between Ruler of Everything and The Mind Electric would sound like. Literally the best thing I've ever heard
  • @qwertypc_game17
    Not only is this one of (if not) the best Ruler of Everything cover i've heard, but you've REALLY got me with the improvised lyrics! only slightly dissapointed by not also using the lyrics from the demo, but other than that, 100%!!!
  • The original song talks about Juno as a representation of humanity encountering the very concept of time taking shape before him, being that the first thing he does is try to seek his approval of the shalow life he lives, after talking a bit with this physical representation of time, he realizes that he is insignificant and that his life is empty, the fast part of the song is time getting angry at him for thinking he understands that he doesn't understand anything, when that is giving himself too much credit by implying that he gets an idea of the smallest fraction of what he doesn't understand, telling him ''comprehend if you can'' as a challenge, as a ''comprehend this, motherfucker'', Juno realizes at this moment the reality, humanity has lived deceived, we are not the center of the universe and everything we take for granted is a lie, in this way the first verse of the song becomes the last part chronologically speaking: ''Juno was mad, he knew he'd been had, so he shot the sun with a gun'', the sun being his ''wiley one only friend'' as it is for mankind, the sun is basically what keeps us alive, in several cultures the sun has been put as the most important god, from this perspective we could say that Juno shot someone VERY important, maybe God or something similar. Now, this version makes all this much darker by just adding a second verse ''He shot and missed'', making it now the first chronological part of the song, we can suppose that what Juno did had consequences, Time taught him a lesson and having no one to take it out on he fell into madness, finding peace in death. If we understand Juno as the representation of humanity itself all of this becomes absolutely terrifying
  • @rhedkiex5331
    I've listened to this song on repeat more times than i'd like to admit and I just realized who the second-person narrator is Looks like Juno did learn a goddamn thing
  • @StealthViper212
    "I've been you" to "I pin you" is a lyric change of all time
  • @serupy874
    i must say this covers is realllllyyyyy close behind the original ruler of everything and it's respective demos in my books, this feels like a tally hall from a alternate universe. And the first lyrics are a frickn' masterpiece. Bravo
