The Flipside
Griffinilla Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
through the source code
there's a gateway
between zeros
out of sync tree
that was blinking
where'd it come from?
where does it go?
look behind it
and you'll see
where it leads.
TELEPORTED
ON A MISSION
CONNECTING DOTS
TUNNEL VISION
INTERLACING
THROUGH THE SLIPSTREAM
INTERFACING
WITH THE GAME SCREEN
TAKE A JOYRIDE
ON THE FLIPSIDE
OF THE VOID
LITTLE TOY!
There are circles
in the circus
where the wrong tents
lead in circuits.
Through the foliage
there's a passage
where the objects
are like phantoms.
In the fabric of the graphics
there's a glitch
in the glitch.
Going deeper
in the eather
and the signal's
getting weaker.
Where the road ends
consequences
and the Red Lake
there's no exit.
So you wade in
but you can't swim
so you drown
falling down.
There's a shortcut
in the source code
how do you know that?
Cause I said so.
Puppet Master still in control
Did you want this?
Are you consouled?
I'm just saying:
"Thanks for playing.
The End"
The lyrics of Griffinilla's song The Flipside explore the world of gaming and the idea of alternate universes. The song begins by suggesting that there is a shortcut through the source code, which is the fundamental set of instructions that computer programs are built upon. The lyrics go on to describe a mysterious gateway between zeros, which represents the binary code of the computer, and an out of sync tree that seems to have come from nowhere. The lyrics then ask where this gateway came from and where it leads.
The chorus of the song is a call to action to take a joyride on the flips of the void, which represents the alternate universe that exists within the game. The lyrics suggest that this is a little toy that can be played with, but it is also a mission that requires connecting dots and having tunnel vision. The lyrics suggest that you can interface with the game screen and travel through the slipstream to reach the flips.

There's a short cut
There is a faster way
through the source code
to reach your destination by navigating the program's instructions
there's a gateway
there's a portal
between zeros
between two states of binary code
out of sync tree
a tree structure that is not in harmony with something else
that was blinking
that was flashing repeatedly
where'd it come from?
where did this originate from?
where does it go?
where is the destination?
If you find it
if you manage to discover it
look behind it
look beyond what is visible
and you'll see
and you'll find out
where it leads.
what its destination is.
TELEPORTED
transported instantly
ON A MISSION
sent on a purposeful task
CONNECTING DOTS
finding the connections between different elements
TUNNEL VISION
intensely focused on a particular goal
INTERLACING
weaving together
THROUGH THE SLIPSTREAM
through a region of space with unusual characteristics
INTERFACING
connecting two different systems

with the display of a video game
TAKE A JOYRIDE

ON THE FLIPSIDE
on the opposite or alternate side
OF THE VOID

LITTLE TOY!

Thank you so much for the memories, Scott. I do not regret being a part of this community and watching you grow over the years. The people I met, the creators I now know because of your games, the friends I've made, all because of you. None of this would have been possible if it weren't for you. I will forever be grateful to and respect you.
I remember tearing up sometimes because of how proud I was of you, call it cringe or not. I was just filled to the brim with gratitude, love, and respect. You built an empire on nothing and look at you now, retiring, never needing to make another game ever again. I just feel like a mom being proud of their son, or I guess to make it less weird, a friend being so thankful you made it this far without giving up. Still weird to call myself a friend of yours since we've never met before? Yeah, I guess so, but in the end, that's what it feels like. You're a friend I know nothing about, have never interacted with, but you've always been there for me. Well, at least with your games, you have.
There's nothing I'd change about these last 7 years. I've been here since the beginning, right when it came out. I was 9, now turning 16 this year. It's crazy to me that I experienced it all. I was here for every teaser, every leak, every game release, all of it. I'm not trying to flex or anything, I just feel so strange. I was here since the beginning, and now I'm here for the end. I wish I couldn't say that. I wish this was all just a dream, y'know?
I say all this like Scott's dying/is dead, but he's not. He's going to be happy, living the life he's been missing out on for the past 7 years. I'm happy for him, and maybe I'm just being a bit selfish by saying all this, but no matter who Scott puts in charge, no matter who he thinks can replace him, I say this with my whole chest: FNaF will never be the same without Scott.
But I am staying in the fandom. I am genuinely excited to see who Scott chooses to replace him and what they'll do. The future of FNaF is an exciting one, I just hope it's as good as its past.
With all that being said, I will forever cherish this franchise, what it's given me, and what you've given us fans throughout the years. There are no amount of thanks I can give that will ever show you how truly thankful I am.
Now go be happy, go make memories with your family. Enjoy your retirement, please. You absolutely deserve it.
I'll be looking forward to seeing you on the flipside, Scott.
