Press
ANT Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We are guilty,
We are beyond hope
We beg to differ
We are a terminal case

Press darlings, press darlings, press darlings
Press darlings, press darlings
We depress the press darlings

We're on the outside
But we're not looking in
We are the Vaseline gang
We don't play your little games

Press darlings, press darlings, press darlings
Press darlings, press darlings
We depress the press darlings

And if evil be the food of genius
There aren't many demons around
If passion ends in fashion
Nick Kent is the best-dressed man in town

Are we different? No
We are exactly the same
There are no boxes for us
The ones you love to hate, so read on!

Press darlings, press darlings, press darlings
Press darlings, press darlings
We depress the press darlings

And if evil be the food of genius
There aren't many demons around
If passion ends in fashion
Bushell is the best-dressed man in town
(you can say that again, the scruffy sod!)

Press darlings, press darlings, press darlings
Press darlings, press darlings
We depress

Press darlings, press darlings, press darlings
Press darlings, press darlings
We are the press darlings
The press darlings
The press darlings
The press darlings





(and they tell fibs!)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Press" by ANT's, is a biting commentary on the relationship between the media and the celebrities. The opening lines, "We are guilty, We are beyond hope" refers to the idea that celebrities have become synonymous with scandal and gossip, and they have no hope of escaping that reputation. The song goes on to state that they are not playing the media's little games, and they are not looking to be a part of their world.


The chorus of the song, "Press darlings, press darlings, press darlings, We depress the press darlings" is a direct criticism of the media, saying that they are the ones in control and that the celebrities hold all the power.


The song also makes reference to the idea that passion and genius are often seen as evil, and that the media perpetuates that idea. The line, "If passion ends in fashion, Nick Kent is the best-dressed man in town" is a reference to the idea that celebrities who are seen as having a deep passion for their work are often judged based on their appearance and what they wear.


In summary, "Press" by ANT's, highlights the often problematic relationship between the media and celebrities, and how this can lead to a sense of despair and hopelessness among those in the public eye.

Ant! Here's an explanation of what happened: You play as Mike, aka Michael Afton, the son of the creator of the Freddy Fazbears. He's sent to the Sister Location underground facility by his father to set the soul of his sister free. His sisters soul was trapped in the Circus Baby animatronic after Circus Baby "ate" Elizabeth during her first appearance.
Circus Baby lures Mike into a false state of security until her real plan is revealed - she and the other Sister Location animatronics scoop themselves from their robotic shells and combine their bodies into one animatronic endoskeleton. They call themselves "Ennard". Like innards.
That's who you're talking to in the last scene. Ennard scoops out Mike's organs so that they can wear his skin like a suit and finally escape the underground facility.

Bonus: the soap opera Mike watches at home foreshadows that Mike is Williams son, and they both become undead immortals - showcased by them being shown as vampires. It also shows the bad relationship btwn William and his wife.

@Bookreader_7

Very concisely and well summarized!
Also, thanks for the bonus scene explanation, I was wondering about that.

@Shouzzu

I hope he sees this

@33melonpaws77

How is a player meant to figure that out?
