DSMP as Oh Hellos Song Lyrics
My opinions on which set of lyrics from Oh Helloâs songs match certain DSMP characters
I tried my best to get them all but let me know if Iâve forgotten/missed someone
Characters who are no longer around/didnât do lore arenât included. Also super recent lore is being ignored because I cant keep changing this every time someone decides to flip their character motivations dammit
(Im not including variations of a single character unless its a ghost btw. That means for example characters such as lmanburg Wilbur and revivedbur (two versions of one person) are gonna fall under the broad category of âWilburâ.)
Some of them will have explanations, some wonât. If you want me to explain my reasoning maybe Iâll make another post. Â Maybe Iâll even make on for character relationships one day.
Idk I have crippling anxiety online so I wonât post very often

Â
Foolish: Constellations
âI can feel it on my tongue, brick and mortar,
thick as scripture drawing lines in the sand and lay in borders,
as tall as towers,
I babble on until my voice is gone.â
Slime: This Will End
âI will wait for this to end, the back and forth, the battery
for you at last to comprehend,
the kind of love of which I speakâ
Niki: Thus Always To Tyrants
âWhere I go will you still follow?
Will you leave your shaded hollow?
Will you greet the daylight looming?
Learn to love without consuming?â
Fundy: I was Wrong
âI was born at the dawn of our folly
I was young and stubborn to the bone,
as I took from the tree that was rotting
Ooh~
I took my chance and bit down deepâ
Tommy: Theseus
âWhatever kingdom come, it probably wonât come quick,
no mighty clarion to announce it, no single use ark to discard in an instant
like Theseusâs ship, weâll fix the busted bits,
Till its both nothing like and everything its always beenâ
(I know Tommy is likened to the hero Theseus because of Techno but I prefer to relate him to the conundrum of Theseusâ Ship instead- If you replace all the parts is it still the same ship? I think Tommy has been through a hell of a lot and probably struggles with the distance that has formed between early lmanburg Tommy and revived Tommy. Idk but I think its a much more fitting comparison than the actual hero. Honestly this whole song works and any part could match Tommy
I could talk about this song in relation to Tommy for ages so Iâll cut it off here lmao)
Jack: Where is your rider
âSo bury me as it pleases you lover- at sea or deep within the catacombs
But these bones never rested while living so
How can they stand to languish in reposeâ
Boomer: Hieroglyphics
âStamping your heels along with the drum
Praying the serpentâs underneath one of âem
Like thereâs some villain left to defeat
Instead of a dance with a rhythm and beatâ
(I donât actually know Boomerâs lore so I kinda made a guess on this one from what little Iâve seen/heard. Pls let me know if there are better options)
Philza: Eat You Alive
âIve seen the true face of the things you call life
The song of the siren that holds your desire
Death she is cunning and clever as hell
And sheâll eat you aliveâ
Sam: Lapis Lazuli
âI donât mean to speak so collectively
I know I donât make it easy to even wanna hear it
What can I say, What can I say, What can I say
'Cause the more I recite it
The more you wanna fight it
The more my language is sounding fabricatedâ
(Sam is such a nuanced and interesting character who has such conflicting morals and priorities. His relationships are constantly being ruined by his strange reasoning and actions and I think this song conveys this quite well- Heâs trying to explain himself but the more he talks, the worse it sounds)
Sapnap: Oh Sleeper
âI see the trail of shoulders Iâve climbed over but
by god Iâll bloody up my hands with everything I am
to cut away the mountains Iâve made and fill the dales belowâ
(Sapnap fought on Dreamâs side in the first war and has conflicts with many on there server but Kinoko is his new start and heâs trying his best to repair old relationships and make up for past mistakes- This song is about overcoming your past to be better and I think it just works)
Techno: Oh Sleeper
âThe tables in the Temple will be turned on their side,
and just as it scorches up the dunes
beneath the height of noon
the pillars of the empire will be burned in kindâ
(Technoblade and christianity/christ connections go brrrr)
Wilbur: I Have Made Mistakes
âWe have lived in fear, we have lived in fear and our fear has betrayed us,
we will overcome, we will overcome the apathy that has made us,
âcause we are not alone, we are not alone in the dark with our demons
We have have made mistakes, we have made mistakes but weâve learned from themâ
Ghostbur: Pale White Horse
âIt was a pale white horse, with a crooked smile
and I knew it was my time
It was the raging storm, of a foreign war
and a face Iâd seen beforeâ
Eret: Rio Grande
âMay all our tinfoil idols
Lay crumpled on the ground
And our pre-fab Olympus
Divided by the thousand
Oh, maybe im naive for thinking,
That a mountain so stubborn can move
But if im a mountain moving
I think you can be tooâ
(Eret redemption arc woo)
Bad: Notos
âAnd every word you shouldnât say
Will come bubbling out of your throat
But youâve got no one left to blame
For the things you lost to the winds of Notosâ
(Badâs lore is so cool and nuanced and AHHH I want to shake him violently for making me feel things. I think Bad places a lot of blame on people around him in an attempt to cope with his own bad decisions and actions (mind controlled or not)
Puffy: Notos
âEvery inhale I take, swallows the ocean whole, and I am one
With the hurricane, tall as the tide that laps with a rabid tongue
With every exhale, I break you down with a fury, I lay the hills undone
Like a dog gone untamed, bellowing out a river from my lungsâ
Ponk: Trees
âClimbing trees; havenât much since we were children
Shaking limbs tend to end up bent and broken
But heartache pales in comparison to loveâ
Ranboo: Soap
âIâve heard
If I were tougher
Then maybe Iâd make it alive
I got a tender side
Iâll need a harder shell to survive
But if seeing is believing
I donât know Iâve seen a thing grow
Without an open coat
Not without a softness showingâ
Purpled: Passerine
âAnd as I prune my feathers like leaves from a vine
I find that we have fewer and fewer in kind, but
My palms and fingers still reek of gasoline
From throwing fuel to the fire of that Greco-Roman dream
Purifying the holy rock to melt the gilded seamsâ
Skeppy: On the Mountain Tall
âI know you want me to be afraid
I know you want me to love you
Still the wild wind blows
Up out the grave of an angry ghost
Firing bricks from broken canon and prose
To build a wall so high it reaches the heavens to the skyâ
George: Exeunt
âNow I am not the fool I was when I was younger,
Crocodile eyes I have seen how you hunger.
Fluttering your lashes like ashes and embers,
Warm and bright as fire devouring timber,
No, I cannot trust what you say when youâre grieving
So my love im sorry but still I am leavingâ
Tubbo: Dear Wormwood
âWhen I was a child
I didnât hear a single word you said
The things I was afraid of
They were all confined beneath my bed
But the years have been long
And you have taught me well to hide away
The things that I believed in
Youâve taught me to call them all escapes
I know who you are nowâ
(go watch the Dear Wormwood Tubbo animatic by knp!!! its the best thing to ever happen to me)
Quackity: The Lament of Eustace Scrubb
âI know that I have gone astray
'Cause when I saw my reflection
It was a stranger beneath my face
It was a stranger beneath my face
But Iâll come around
Iâll come around
Somedayâ
Dream: Hello my Old Heart
âHello, my old heart
How have you been?
How is it being locked away?
Donât you worry, in there youâre safe
And itâs true, youâll never beat
But youâll never breakâ
(im not a big fan of c!dream but I know a nuanced character when I see one dammit and I refuse to reduce c!dream to a simple evil dude. Mans has some strange fucked reasonings behind his actions and its so interesting to see it play out)
Karl: In Memoriam
âItâs been a long road, losing all Iâve owned
And you donât know what youâve got until youâre gone
And itâs a nasty habit, spending all you have, but
If youâre doing all the leaving, then itâs never your love lostâ
Schlatt: Wishing Well
âFor my soul, he made an offer
And to the dust again I fell
And oh, that devilâs got a hold on me now
Because there wasnât any water in the wishing wellâ
(not a c!schlatt apologist or trying to find excuses for him, just thought the song was neat in relation to both his status as this big, evil, power hungry president and as someone struggling with substance abuse)
Hannah: Rose
âWhatâs true is like a sickle
Itâll cut you to the middle
Your rose is without a thorn
But no, my mouth donât taste of metal
From the pot here to the kettle
I think we got a lot we gotta learnâ
(one of the most on the nose song choices lmao. Not 100% on it but couldnât thing of anything better)
Punz: Eurus
âAs Fortuna sits idly by
I spin her wheel with all my might
Crushing my kin for warring-wage
Minted from the ivory of your tooth and eyeâ
Eryn: Torches
âI got a venom like a snake running out of my mouth
(running out of my mouth, running out of my mouth)
Its got you burning at the stake,
Innocent or not, youâre not a bet I care to takeâ
(other then his childhood friends, c!eryn strikes me as quite a paranoid, mistrusting character. Heâs constantly over-prepared for pvp situations and it makes me wonder about the rest of his backstory..)
Connor: Torches
âAnd father ignorance will make brothers of us all
(brothers of us all, brothers of us all)
As he sets our torch aflame
Chasing down the flimsy spectres that we co-createâ
(c!Conner doesnât have much lore but he was involved with the prison break and has ties now to the syndicate so he gets a song)
Ant: Bitter water
âWell, I still taste you on my lips
Lovely bitter water
The terrible fire of old regret is honey on my tongue
And I know I shouldnât love you
I know I shouldnât love you
But I doâ
Callahan: The Valley
âWe were born in the shadow
Of the crimes of our fathers
Blood was our inheritance
No, we did not ask for thisâ
(callahans lore is so interesting ahhhh like what do you mean he has a history with XD?? What do you mean heâs Tinaâs dog??? What do you mean heâs canonically been XDâs pet as well?? *shakes violently*)
Hbomb: Cold is the Night
âSteady is the hand thatâs come to terms
With the lessons it has had to learn
And Iâve seen the things that I must doâ
MichaelMC: Zephyrus
âWhether by accident or fortune
You and I
We are matter
And it matters
I want to spin something out of nothing
Lead to gold
Spring from winter
Story from moted skyâ
Tina: Zephyrus
âI wanna help mother up an orchard
From a seed
Up through sapling
Daughter phoenix, riseâ
XD: Thus always to Tyrants
âEvery tomb, every sea, spit the bones from your teeth
Let the ransomed be free as the revel meets the day
Let the valleys awake, let them rattle and shake
In the wind that remakes all that time has worn away
Aimsey: Thus always to Tyrants
âI will look for you as the sun rises higher
When the dry bones dance with the timbrel and lyre
Thereâs a wind alive in the valley
It will fill your lungs, if youâll have itâ
Seepeekay: Constellations
âCause like constellations a million years away
Every good intention, every good intention
Is interpolation, a line we drew in the array
Looking for the faces
Looking for the shapes in the silenceâ
Ghostboo: Cold
âWhen the bitter creeps in
To bite you whole
A spectre unreflected, oh
it keeps you coldâ
