#like the fact that Those Lyrics belong to the section of My Grandfather's Clock that plays in Fnaf 2 is interesting!

hey fnaf fans!
um. came to a discovery that maybe everyone else has at this point, but due to Fic Writing Reasons™ (read it here, it's already got a couple of chapters and i'm really proud of it :]) i decided to look up more on My Grandfather's Clock, which, for those of you who are unaware, is the song that The Puppet's Music Box plays in Fnaf 2. y'know, the music box that keeps you from dying.
well. more accurately, the music box plays part of My Grandfather's Clock. i decided to see if there were any lyrics to it. and, sure enough, there are!
but what i find interesting is the lyrics that line up with the particular section that The Puppet's Music Box plays:
"Ninety years without slumbering, tick tock tick tock,
his life seconds numbering, tick tock tick tock.
But it stopped short, never to go again,
when the old man died."
(words in bold are Lyrics Of Interest)
so um. interesting choice of that section, i'm wondering if that was intentional.
also, i'm noticing that there could technically be two meanings here if this was intentional:
it's meant to be a very subtle nod to the fact that you need to keep this music box wound up or your seconds are very much numbered (in other words, you will die)
William. Afton. we're still not sure exactly why the music box needs to be wound, or why The Puppet kills us if it runs out. but like. what if the lyrics give us a clue? what if, once Afton is defeated for good, nobody will need the music box to calm The Puppet anymore? because Charlie is finally at rest? (see the lyrics: "But it stopped short, never to go again, when the old man died.")
anyway. something that i noticed about The Music Box. again, might be a bit late to this, but i just noticed this while doing Fic Research of all things. :]
