Thank you so much to ‪@ZarzaManta‬ for helping me with the lyrics! They're an incredibly talented polyglot who came up with the Spanish lyrics. They also helped me hone a direction for the lyrics as a whole. I was really struggling to finish this vid, but you came in clutch! Couldn't have done it without you! :D

Make sure you guys check them out and say thank you!

Cameras are live, hold me up high
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Ready to rock?
Cause we're just getting started

Stars turn to me, jealous of my sheen
They look so dull compared to us
Lustrous, luminous
Dicen que son chulas
Rose to heaven from earth

But hold up cause we're not even done
I walk into frame again
I'll sweeten the beat
More music, mas tu y yo

Elevator's going up
and we're not coming down
Cha-cha! Give 'em an encore
Guess we're still surfing our headliners' high
We go off the charts
A billion hits, gettin' our platinum on!

What can I say?
I outclass the moon and the stars
It's beautiful
(Pow-pow, we light up the sky)
Our kind of glow
(Stun and dazzle, the sparks gonna fly)

Ignite, show me your dye

Cameras are live, hold me up high
Oh yeah, oh yeah
(Ker-pow! Check us out!)
Shaking the world awake
(Show them what's up)

"What's kept you long?"
(Fuse lit, I'm taking off)
"Que te paso?"
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Start with a bang
and get the party started!

    My fave part of working with you was seeing your process! It’s amazing thx for having me aboard!!! :D
  • @dr.octopod360
    Okay, I’ll be the first to admit I wasn’t totally sure how back we were, but after these lyrics, I’ve come to realise that we’re SOO back!!
  • @Kevinblue035
    my personal headcanon for this is that Marina thought it was so slay how Deep Cut would incorporate their culture and native languages into their songs, so she learned some of the "old octarian language" (spanish) for this song
  • @SimplyRandy
    I love everything about this! The editing, the lyrics, Marina speaking Spanish! <3 Manta really did so well with this too!
  • @5x1000

  • @Purple.N
    one of the 1st things i thought when i heard all these new songs was "man i cant wait for new sally strings lyrics"
  • @rapidrowlet45
    1:10 I love the “Headliner’s High” line because that’s the song’s name in Japanese! The thought that goes into these lyrics is always incredible!
  • @FaerinnyFae

  • @tobywthman
    THE SPANISH LYRICS ARE SUCH A NICE TOUCH OUHHHH
  • @lyrictwili580
    THE TRIUMPHANT RETURN! These are such brilliant celebratory lyrics with an absolutely wonderful nostalgic music video (I love the inclusion of the footage from past Splatfests in Splatoon 2!). Marina having occasional lyrics in Spanish is such a wonderful touch too! The theming of these lyrics is absolutely on point, and I really love the sheer confidence you've packed into the lyrics - it really feels like a song that Pearl in particular would LOVE singing. "I walk into frame again" is such a neat line too, it feels slightly goofy and very cool, and then of course "more music, mas tu y yo" is just fabulous! Moving into the next bit I love how you've worked the Side Order reference into the theme of the song, and the inclusion of the Japanese name of the song is so perfectly done (it really sounds like 'Headliner's High' is what Alice Peralta/Marina is singing at that moment as well, which I wouldn't be surprised if it is deliberate). Also, "What can I say? I outclass the moon and the stars" just goes SO hard honestly, that is a real banger of a line. (The space/celestial theming throughout brings a great cohesion to the lyrics!) Pearl's "ignite" is so perfectly timed as well, just so hype! Finally, the ending chorus bringing together both the themes of returning and getting hyped for a new beginning is just marvellous. You're so back (you never left!) with another set of brilliant lyrics that feel like they could be the real lyrics in game!! (Pearl and Marina talk about having "a billion hits" here, and I think that describes you very well!)
