NO ONE'S HOME | Beholder 3 Rap Feat. McGwire!

LYRICS:

VERSE 1:
It’s my pleasure to welcome you
To your new home in apartment two
With one bedroom and a splendid view
Just don’t forget when the rent is due
We expect all residents to
Abide by tenancy rules
Keep quiet, keep clean, keep telling the truth
Present evidence of any elements who
Have better to do than to comply
With our societal requirements
Those who stay in line
Might just survive until retirement
Pay no mind as I enquire just
Why the other night you went
To the laundry room to hide
An item in the dryer, friend?
This block is state-provided
And you’d be wise to be grateful
Side with every regulation and you’ll find food on the table
It’s not a state, provided
You find decadence is wasteful
It’s been perfect since the state decided
What décor is tasteful
As property manager my job is sorting the utilities
Disposal of the garbage and the laundering facilities
Why would I compile a full report on your activities?
I’m just a standard landlord… Glory to the Ministry


CHORUS:



Lock the doors and close the curtains, hold your breath lest you should speak your sins
But you can’t keep a secret from the building that you keep it in
Befriend your fellow tenants, show a smile and keep it pleasant
But know everyone’s a friend until you need to turn some people in
It’s the breathing on the phone hiding just beneath the tone
It’s the things that shift when no one’s home
Well, you may be on your own but you’ll never be alone
Yes, we all live here, but it’s no one’s home


VERSE 2:

To get through the day,
It behoves you to play by the rules and behave
Do the state preapprove all the tunes that you play?
When alone in a room, well to whom do you pray?
Assume that your neighbours are moving away
When the black van comes in the night
And you’re numb to the sight
Of another one fumbling for somewhere to hide
As their wife just runs for their life
‘Fore the ones with the guns can arrive
And they’re gone ‘fore the sun can arise
To a government provided bunker for some realignment
It’s just fine, you can trust it’s a wonderful time

Just go about your business normally
No one’s following, I’m not recording
Your paranoia is awfully boring
According to all of your friends that talk to me
Most importantly please speak clear when you’re broadcasting
Your honest thoughts on the law or economy
My provided mics are tiny
And I can’t transcribe properly
Should you ever behold
Me with my peepers pressed to a keyhole
You can trust I’m just checking the tumblers for rust
I’m a custodian not a Ministry mole
Settle in for a night on the couch
No questioning what that red light is about
Now bleeping on your ceiling since the time you went out
It’s just a little gaslighting, put aside any doubts
You’re fine in your house so confide to your spouse any crimes carried out
Any tiny amount of new ideas found just a mite out of bounds
‘Cause I’m writing them down in a timestamped account

What’s it matter, every night or two?
If I sneak in, have a rifle through
But depending what I find well you’ll
Be faced with another kind of rifle too

Privacy is the cry of the
Defiant to compliancy
But grease my palm and I might not see
Those books they banned from the libraries
What do you mean that that’s not yours?
It appeared one night in your cabinet drawers?
I have to report it, I regret
But of course, I could forget
Societal ideals are reliably pliable
So the rise of a tyrant becomes entirely viable
You’ll find that the spying is really quite justifiable
Why are you crying when it’s your blind eye that’s liable?

Handy landlord here to fix your ventilation whistling
Too many questions and it’s not the air that needs conditioning
That telephone’s not tampered with
Of course it isn’t listening
But were it, it prefers the words:
‘Glory to the Ministry’

CHORUS:

Lock the doors and close the curtains, hold your breath lest you should speak your sins
But you can’t keep a secret from the building that you keep it in
Befriend your fellow tenants, show a smile and keep it pleasant
But know everyone’s a friend until you need to turn some people in
It’s the breathing on the phone hiding just beneath the tone
It’s the things that shift when no one’s home
Well, you may be on your own but you’ll never be alone
Yes, we all live here, but it’s no one’s home

GLORY TO THE MINISTRY!

This song hits very differently in eastern germany

HOA: the horror game.

This video really does give me that creepy feeling that Beholder does. Between the eco noises, the visuals, and the lyrics it's masterfully done.

How didn't I know about this song sooner??

This should be a movie

song hits different when you realize this is what the world government wants to do to all of us doesnt it

This could easily be a song about 1984

Can we talk about how normal the opening actually is, or how in practice it is
Last time I check that is the job of the janitor and the security or landlord, it’s normal to have cameras in the Landry room especially in a big apartment building, and usually they throw useless ess things away

glory to the ministry every day we conform or we forced out of retirement

Glory to the ministry

You could do Katana Zero from the perspective of the therapist

Why does this go so hard. Like seriously it is a game about spying on your tenants but The Stupendium can make a song that just is good without question. I have to give them credit where credit is given.

Really great rap :0

If we got lucky where will be atomic heart rap (both games made in Russia)

Better then the actual game lmao.

The style reminds me so much of James lee

glory to the mInistry, glory to tHe ministry A glory to ThE ministry, glory to THE MINISTRY!

This commenter has been detained for reducation. glory to the ministry.

I'll be honest "No One's Home" would have been a better name to the video game.

E

Least suspicious landlord

I’m a custodian, not a ministry mole.

Chilling.

The Ministry has added No One's Home to the approved tracks. Citizens are encouraged to listen to this and all other approved tracks from The Stupendium. Glory to the Ministry.

This is epic!! Whoever produces your music is incredible

This video's over a year old, so I'm not expecting this to be seen at all, but I grew up in a cult in which members generally lived in compounds or buildings owned by the organization, and I'm both surprised and impressed by how excellently this song captures the specific type of tension and unease that I and many other ex-members felt during the years spent in those places. We weren't even being listened to half the time, but not knowing when we WERE meant we self-governed even at times when we really were alone.

Fantastic stuff, Stupes

"Why are you crying when it's your blind eye that's liable ?"
... mind-blown 😲

You look like james lee 😅

This man writes dystopian raps so well he should be haild as the Orson Wells of the rap world.

Damn, the McGwire cam.

Ministry-approved invention.

I think spending just a moment on the landlord's obvious corruption is an important kernel of hope in a situation like this. It's a reminder that this is still a system run by people, so you CAN break free. By being smarter, by being persistent, by being patient. Corruption is hope to your enemies.

I love that chorus so much. The percussion on certain consonants, so much emotion in each word, just amazing.

All the new anti LGBTQ laws and book bans this has only become more important as a price of art

Honestly, I think this might be one of your cleanest songs and videos. The rapping is fast and perfectly executed, and Mcgwire's chorus is beatifully haunting.
The fact about the video is how stylized it is. The gray, colorless aura that suits the sing greatly broken by some scarlat details just looks amazing. Great acting too.
A banger. Like we're all used to from you, Stupes <3

You know I just realized how weird the breathing on the phone conspiracies are. Because if they're true. Then why do the government receivers need both the listening and talking part? It's weird because they just need to know what's being said by the people that they are spying on.

Why did it took me so long to understand "and it's not the air that needs conditioning"?

🎉🎉

And the highlights overall

Hello, how did you make the glowing effect on the glasses?

Glory to the ministry

NSA would like there theme song back

The end: The watcher is being watched, of course.

Reminds me of the soviet union kinda

Favorite rapper? The Stupendium.

"No questioning what that red light ia about... it's just a little gaslighting put aside any doubt". You sir are a LYRICAL MASTERMIND

Man your channel keeps falling out of the nerdcore it shows but then every so often it pulls a song I've never heard of yours and I am consistently blown away 🤯🤯🤯
Seriously man you guys put out bangers on reg, wish I could control the algorithm alittle better 🤷‍♂️

For a relatively unknown game, this song slaps

good song bro!
