Puppet On a String
Precious Jewel Amor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A story which will lead to full destruction
A show with lines delivered with passion
Get ready for the lights, camera, action
In omni loco, oculi domini
In omni loco, oculi domini
Come, take off your crown
As I find another puppet on a string
I own this world, you should come take a peek
Live in enjoyment in the land of the free
I may be in hiding, will behind the scenes
Remember my deity while you livin'
Take another bow as the spectacle is ending
Come, take off your crown
As I find another puppet on a string
I used to rule everything, I still do
I watch them from the sky
Just sitting in my room
They think that I'm the playwright
I think that it is true
Like minions from below
They're falling to their doom
In omni loco, oculi domini
In omni loco, oculi domini
Take another bow as the spectacle is ending
Come, take off your crown
As I find another puppet on a string
I own this world, you should come take a peek
Live in enjoyment in the land of the free
I may be in hiding, will behind the scenes
Remember my deity while you livin'
I own this world, you should come take a peek
Live in enjoyment in the land of the free
I may be in hiding, will behind the scenes
Remember my deity while you livin'
Take another bow as the spectacle is ending
Come take off your crown
As I find another puppet on a string
In "Puppet on a String," Precious Jewel Amor describes a person who is in complete control of the world around them. The song begins with the line "I started with a click of a button," which suggests that the person has the power to manipulate events and people at will. The second line, "A story which will lead to full destruction," implies that the person's actions will have disastrous consequences.
The next two lines, "A show with lines delivered with passion/Get ready for the lights, camera, action," indicate that the person is fully aware of the power they wield and revels in it. The recurring refrain "In omni loco, oculi domini" translates to "The eyes of the Lord are everywhere," suggesting that the person sees themselves as all-knowing and invincible.
The chorus, "Take another bow as the spectacle is ending/Come, take off your crown/As I find another puppet on a string," reinforces the idea that the person sees themselves as a puppet master who controls all those around them.
The second verse portrays the person as an enigmatic figure who operates from behind the scenes. They describe themselves as having once ruled everything and still doing so, watching from the sky. They also mention minions falling to their doom, implying that their power comes at a great cost.
The overall message of the song seems to be a warning against those who seek to control the world for their own gain, with the refrain reminding the listener that ultimately, no one is truly invincible.

How did I literally just sing that like it was an actual song.
He is playing skyblock
While I am playing Death note,
He thinks he can outsmart me
By using my own strategies
Because he has yet to realize
That he is but a puppet and I the puppeteer!
Dance potato boy,
O' Dance

This song is without a doubt good and fitting for Dream, but it also always reminds me of Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls especially these parts:
- “A story which will lead to full destruction”: Well Bills goal was to “play” with theworld, meaning basically making it hell
- “Get ready for the lights, camera, action”, “They think that I’m the playwright \\ I think that it is true”: He is very much a showman, so I think this fits him
- "in omni loco, oculi domini": Bill is very old and his knowledge of a lot of things and his power to invade the mind of others are big parts of the story
- "As I find another puppet on a string”: Bill is basically a textbook example of a puppeteer - he manipulates, possesses and even thinks of / describes Dipper as a puppet in an episode
- “I own this world, you should come take a peek”: The Nightmare Realm or Gravity Falls in the later episodes
- “Live in enjoyment in the land of the free”: For Bill, destruction and total chaos is fun / joy as seen when he shows how he wants the world to be to Stanford while describing it as a “fun world”
- “I may be in hiding, well, behind the scenes \\ remember my deity while you live”: This describes very well whenever he is defeated: After being banished from Stans mind, losing
Dipper as a puppet, or even after being “destroyed” in the last episode, he may be unseen, “in hiding” but there is always a whisper remaining, a feeling that he is still there and planning, preparing, waiting, manipulating.
- “I used to rule everything, I still do”: He isn’t as powerful in Gravity as in the Nightmare Realm where he rules but he has manipulated and steered humanity for a long time
- “I watch them from the sky”: Just Bill

/rp I still highly believe that Dream orchestrated yesterdays events, using his imprisonment as a ruse to make people stop hunting him and making them think he's at his weakest.
How do you think Punz knew where to find that portal? : )
(29-11-21 EDIT): HOLY SHIT THAT STREAM WAS EPIC.

So, let's take every character one by one. Dream has played this smartly. Because he isn't trying to control everyone. He is trying to control all the big players to control everyone else. He is mostly controlling the leaders of each faction and they in part the members. He is controlling George, Tubbo, Tommy and he used to control Techno, Schlatt, Eret and Wilbur. He is the Shadow Leader of the server while everyone is basically figureheads. Originally there was no leader of the server. But when Tommy and Wilbur joined there couldn't be equal members in a revolutionary faction. He played the long game. Allowed L' Manburg to become a normal nation while putting a figurehead Eret to disguise his power in his faction while also having the discs giving him ridiculous leverage over the vice president Tommy which because of Wilbur's common absence allowed him to take control of a large part of L' Manburg. Then came the elections. He knew that Fundy and Niki wouldn't win so he let them be. He already had good control of Tommy and Wilbur because of the afforementioned reasons. So them coming on top would be good since they would have more power over L'Manburg and in turn Dream. And he knew Tommy wouldn't take a defeat and would start a revolution. He controlled Schlatt to let him into the Manburg Army to fight the revolution. But he never bowed to Schlatt. He wanted that for one, to surrender. He knew that if he surrendered Tommy would see this as a victory and ultimately let his guard down for his vassals, Wilbur and Techno to blow everything up. He probably didn't expect Wilbur to make such a 180 but once he saw the opportunity he grasped it. He saw however that Tommy at least WOULD rebuild L' Manburg. So he could blow it all up and either take the land back or at least weaken it severely. He would also be putting Techno out of commission his biggest danger as he is the strongest fighter of the SMP along with Dream. Techno, seeing that Violence doesn't work went into retirement. Finally, using his power, he coerced Tubbo into exiling Tommy. Why? Tommy was his power over L'Manburg. Well, this time we have Tubbo in the president spot. Tubbo is not absent nearly as much and could stifle Dream's influence. However, Dream used his still present power over Tommy and managed to make him do poor decisions, which made the decision to exile a much easier one. And with that, it would be establised along with his talk with everyone that L'Manburg would never be free. Oh also on the revolution he put George as a figurehead again. In exile, Dream kept close watch of Tommy. Trying to set up everything where he is the one feeling exiled and moreso exiled by Tubbo and not Dream. This was finalised as of now with Tubbo not coming to the Exile Party which Dream used to make it seem like Tubbo abandoned Tommy. In all of this, there is TWO loose ends I could find. Techno and the new egg infection. Techno is no longer controlled. He is in retirement and free. He may have been led to that by controlling but Dream can't control him now. If Techno isn't somehow put in check perhaps by Phil he can come back with God Armor and Tridents and Turtle Potions etc. As of now, the power dynamic goes like this.
Dream directly controls: Tubbo, George, Sapnap, Tommy and everyone else on the Dream SMP side. Remember, George is there not for power but to disguise his power
George controls pretty much nothing
Tommy doesn't control anyone but his nature allows him to rally people to his cause thus needing to be put in check
Tubbo controls ALL of L'Manburg
The only truly free people right now are: Skeppy ( who never truly cares about the power dynamic and holds no power so there's no need for him to be controlled), Phil and Techno ( These two need to be put in check as they can be influential if need be and they know a lot about the game and have the dedication to prepare for war)
Schlatt and Wilbur were killed when they stopped becoming useful and posed a threat.
If Dream doesn't take control of Techno or Phil, they can rally up L'Manburg for a final war. However, this time it will be a much harder to win war and in my prediction Techno would win but Tommy, realising history repeating will change his mind about government. Dream's power will end and a new era of anarchy will begin. Even a single loose end is deadly at this point. As for the egg it's unknown. It's a factor dream can't know what it does. So he'll have to plan around it.
Few things are factually incorrect as I was a bit behind on the details of Tommy's exile
