Portal Song Lyrics

[SpiderPig]

This was a triumph.
I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.
Aperture Science
We do what we must
because we can.
For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are dead.
But there's no sense crying over every mistake.
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
And the Science gets done.
And you make a neat gun.
For the people who are still alive.
I'm not even angry.
I'm being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke my heart.
And killed me.
And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.
As they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you!
Now these points of data make a beautiful line.
And we're out of beta.
We're releasing on time.
So I'm GLaD. I got burned.
Think of all the things we learned
for the people who are still alive.
Go ahead and leave me.
I think I prefer to stay inside.
Maybe you'll find someone else to help you.
Maybe Black Mesa
THAT WAS A JOKE.
HAHA. FAT CHANCE.
Anyway, this cake is great.
It's so delicious and moist.
Look at me still talking
when there's Science to do.
When I look out there, it makes me GLaD I'm not you.
I've experiments to run.
There is research to be done.
On the people who are still alive.
And believe me I am still alive.
I'm doing Science and I'm still alive.
I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive.
While you're dying I'll be still alive.
And when you're dead I will be still alive.
STILL ALIVE

Hey nice ^^

But this lyric confuse me :/

And we're out of beta.
We're releasing on time.

This (and the beginning) looks like the tests are over

There is research to be done.
_.On._ the people who are still alive.

This looks like more tests.

1, this episode managed to get released on time, (HOLY CRAP!)

2, think chell was the only person in a frozen pod that Glados had stuck down there to 'play' with? Looks like she's been thawing people now and again to deal with the boredom through several years.

Not in my country :/

 

[Zio]

1: The research came out of beta testing, and managed to get released in time.

Amazing song.

"And we're out of beta.
We're releasing on time."

its clearly valve just laughing at themselves because most of their titles like HL2 and EP1 were constantly pushed back and back, being released MUCH later than they had originally confirmed.

 

[capteeni]

The Beta reference is for Team Fortress 2 Beta. And thanks to it they released on time.

 

[THE_END]

Awesome song

 

[Tyguy]

mow if someone could tab it out on guitar, it be perfect

i love how they make fun of themselves in these lyrics
valve is even capable of making incredible music
they make me SO happy

 

[leib10]

Awesome song. You can really see the symbolism for Valve in here. Surprisingly catchy melody as well.

 

[Janberque]

i like this songgg !! DD

 

[Mech Man]

Oh Jesus not another one...

 

[Sliver Slave]

Do these people go into the backlog of pages for the purpose of necroing them?

 

[FireStarter]

Likely.

Also, you missed a Still Alive at the end.

It's
"blah blah blah Still Alive.
STILL ALIVE REALLY LOUD FOR SOME REASON
still alive all quiet and sad and emo"

 

[MorganFreeman911]

i like this songgg !! DD

Holy shit do people just search the forums to find old posts (and by old I mean two ****ing years old) to post in to boost their postcount?

 

[pilot7893]

This (and the beginning) looks like the tests are over

It may be a reference to how Portal was released on time, but Half-Life 2 was horribly delayed.

 

[Achooo]

It may be a reference to how Portal was released on time, but Half-Life 2 was horribly delayed.

Yeah it was def on Portal being released on time. \o/ Best song EVER!!! \o/

 

[Shem]

It's a pattern, really. In 2009, a person's first post was the revival of this thread, and now, in 2010, the same thread has been revived by a similar person's first post. I think I'll develop a study on this.

 

[MorganFreeman911]

Make it your PHD thesis.

 

[Dakaro]

Great song! I thought the Black Mesa joke was especially funny, since this game is a mod for Half Life 2..

 

[Edeslash]

B-but... 2011?

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

a mod for Half Life 2..

try again dumbass

 

[mechanicallizard]

This thread will outlive us all
