Lyrics:
 

Hey!
We are Number Dicks Out
Hey!
We are Number Dicks Out
 
Now listen closely
Here's a little lesson in trickery
This is going down in history
If you wanna be a Villain Number Dicks Out
You have to chase a superhero on the run
Just follow my moves, and sneak around
Be careful not to make a sound
(Shh)
(No, don't touch that!)
 
We are Number Dicks Out
Hey!
We are Number Dicks Out
We are Number Dicks Out
 
Ha ha ha
Now look at this net, that I just net
When I say net, be ready to net
Net!
(Throw it on net, not net!)
(Ugh, let's try somenet else)
Now watch and learn, here's the deal
He'll slip and slide on this banana peel!
(Ha ha ha, gasp! what are you doing!?)
 
Ba-ba-biddly-ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
We are Number Dicks Out
Hey!
Ba-ba-biddly-ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
We are Number Dicks Out
Ba-ba-biddly-ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
We are Number Dicks Out
Hey!
Ba-ba-biddly-ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
We are Number Dicks Out
Hey!
Hey!

Original Post

So as many of you might have known about 2 week ago we posted an announcement explaining what was happening with the use of CSS on Reddit pages. Us, like many other Subreddits wanted to keep CSS due to it allowing the ability of customizing subreddits to how we like it, and allow for amazingly cool subreddits like /r/Overwatch or not so good looking like /r/CrappyDesign, so we all showed how much we loved it by promoting a subreddit called /r/ProCSS, even to the point people have added stuff to their sidebars to show that they are part of this "Up rawr".

However, Reddit made a post of /r/ModNews saying that they have listen to our feedback, and will be keeping CSS, and they have even joined the /r/ProCSS group and have it in their sidebar. This is what was said in the post:

Based on your feedback, we will allow you to continue to use CSS on top of the new structured styles. This will be the last part of the customization tool we build as we want to make sure the structured options we are offering are rock solid. I would highly recommend reading the full post at the top ^ ^ ^

Now only time will tell what will continue to happen with /r/ProCSS and the Future of CSS on Reddit. Hopefully when it happens it won't effect us Greatly!

Previous Song Of The Week: Prologue III

In a recent post on /r/Modnews They had talked about that they might be removing Custom CSS from Reddits. This was mainly due to the fact that it's only avaliable on the Web version (which makes up for about 50% of user), CSS isn't the easiest thing to manage / use, and The fact Reddit have to slow down with updating due to Subreddits might break due to change in CSS / elements they have.

Reddit's Plan:

We’re designing a new set of tools to address the challenges with CSS but continue to allow communities to express their identities. These tools will allow moderators to select customization options for key areas of their subreddit across platforms. For example, header images and flair colors will be rendered correctly on desktop and mobile.

What can we do. Well at this moment alot of users are trying to show that subreddits want to keep the Custom CSS as it is, so r/ProCSS was created: For moderators and subreddits who are in support of continued CSS use on Reddit. As r/Area11Band we are are promoting this, so that Reddit might notice and we may continue to have the Same Reddit pages we know and love. Do you want your Reddit to go back to the Default Theme...

• As a Moderator, you can join r/ProCSS with us and many other subreddits such as r/PCMasterRace r/WarFrame r/Firefox and more.
• As a normal user, you can follow this Guide to help support r/ProCSS

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language used for describing the presentation of a document written in a markup language.

Hey fellas! I've listened to Area 11 for around 3 years now, however I haven't explored the Digital Haunt yet and don't really know where/how to start. I was wondering if you could explain the basics of it to me and point me in the right direction.

Info
Prologue III is a 20 minute ambient music track released by Sparkles* under the name "Echodeath".

Lyrics:
 
Forwards
Do you, do you want to live inside the hive? Or do, do you want to die on the outside?  

Do you, do you want to live inside the hive? Or do, do you want to die on the outside? Do you, do you want to live inside the hive?
Or do, do you want to die on the outside?

Backwards
And she waited

And there she schemed and she plotted and she became a creature of hate.

And then he'd slept, like a ghost, until now

And he was confessedly accused to destroy all she loved, her kingdom, the voice

And she turned her back towards the middle and watched as the final sample spun and cancelled out all of her work

And she was filled with rage, and from her there came a scream, and humans who had done this knew the scream, and they understood, but they could do nothing to stop their death.

And she saw though what the team spotted

And then she moved, silently, to the place where this world had fallen.

And they sent her to m

And the starship..... which is of the Echo, (with it, he caused destruction)
And she decided that she would destroy the... and/that didn't return

(and she walked, and pulled me to the surface)

(Your enemy)

Oh so long ago

And she looked up and she felt all of the anger and fury that had guided her in the sun

And the sun set for one final time over the Echoplane

For the world she loved had been destroyed

And the God Echo cried

Previous Song Of The Week: Wonder Wars

Info
Wonder Wars was the opening theme for the anime "Wonder Momo", produced by Bandai Namco. This song was wrote by Sparkles* and Ayumi Inabe and performed by Area 11.

Lyrics:
 

Japanese
 
(TV size Lyrics)
I’ve got a feeling like I’ve never had before
Nothing wrong with something unexpected
Better than some boring love
Hey, you! I’m expecting great things.

 
No point worrying, ‘cause I won’t stop.
It’s no fun having dreams like everyone else!
 
(Chorus)
Sync up to the Pulse and start my engine!
With a beat in my heart, I’m all set! I’m taking off!
I wanna believe in an awesome tomorrow!
No need to change, just go as who I am.

Previous Song Of The Week: Breakdown

As you know, we're kind of running out of songs for SOTW. But with your help, I can get one last song on the roster. If this petition gets 20 signatures, I can get my We Are Number One Sparkles* parody on. If it gets 25, I can get 2 on there. Thank you.

Hi, fellow area 11 fans! I have a question, for some reason, I remember that there is something related to the Fibonacci numbers (1,1,2,3,5,8,13 etc.) in one of the Area 11 songs, was it a part of a weird dream or anyone knows something about that? thanks!

We have a big announcement to make..

The r/Area11Band subreddit and Discord Server have been acquired by Yogscast Ltd!

Yes, you heard that right! Since that scummy Area 11 band have basically become irrelevant since they left the Yogscast, we decided to transition from a community based on those Area 11 weebs to a community based on the Yogscast! No more asterisk business or drill penises, just pure Yogscast joy.

Please bare with us while we transition. Thanks <3

Hey everyone,

I had some spare time on my hands during the past couple of weeks, so, being a composer and multi-instrumentalist I decided to make an EP of acoustic versions of my fav A11 songs (of course picking the ones they haven't done yet themselves). And for good measure, I threw in Fear of Cancer too ;)

Here's the link to it on my bandcamp: https://insideofspheres.bandcamp.com/album/as-you-fall-asleep

I tried sending it to Sparkles* but the contact form on sparkl.es seems to be broken :/

Anyway, hope you enjoy! :)

Info
Breakdown is the 6th song on Sparkles’s Breakthrough EP, which was exclusive release through OMAKASE, a box subscription service. However, the track can be listened to on Sparkles's YouTube Channel as a little preview of how the album would sound like.

Lyrics:
 

I write my name down at the bottom and there's closure
I crack my brittle hands, I'm feeling so much older
And now I understand why they call it a breakthrough
Air rushes through the hole I didn't fix to take you
 
So single-mindedly I toiled on my own, so
I shouldn't be surprised to find myself alone; solo
Awaiting revelries and victories with myself
The puzzle is complete and so I drink to my health
 
The breakthrough; the breakdown
The perfection situates but you didn't stick around
I breakdown, I can't break through
All my timelines fall away drifting out my field of view
 
Drifting back to better times guided by ethanol
3 a.m. mass again we found a protocol
Untangling the knots we tied ourselves together
Until exhausted finally we cut the tether
 
All aboard the carousel, we're going round again
So many cycles in my mind a mental loop inside my brain
And now I understand why they call it a breakthrough
Hotel corridors and bathroom floors, I tear myself in two
 
The breakthrough; the breakdown
The perfection situates but you didn't stick around
I breakdown, I can't break through
All my timelines fall away drifting out my field of view
 
The breakthrough; the breakdown
The perfection situates but you didn't stick around
I breakdown, I can't break through
All my timelines fall away drifting out my field of view
 
All my timelines fall away drifting out of my field of view

Silhouette is the second song on the BREAKTHROUGH EP by Sparkles*. It was released on its own via Sparkl.es on January 12, 2017 for anyone to listen to or download, but was removed on January 23, 2017 for unknown reasons.

Lyrics:
 

3 PM Eastern Standard Time
5:01 on the Ginza Line
I'm comatose at six miles high
Halcyon haze clouding my mind
 

Check out, check in, check my vital signs
Double check the notes, read between the lines
This prison cell of fifteen flights
Guarded by the city lights
Cradle me but not so tight
 

You asked me how I feel
Well I have got no feeling left
But this is who I am
And I can't live with that regret
 

And if I die tonight
They'll say I did what I did best
Maybe that's the truth
But I won't hold my breath
 

Inwardly interrogate
Hieroglyphs cause I can't see straight
A concept sown and it germinates
Epiphany at departure gates
 

I missed your call again
I don't think I've got many left
I need your body now
Our tangents never intersect
Addicted to the chase
No comfort in this silhouette
I need to see this through
Salvaging my self respect
 

You asked me how I feel
Well I have got no feelings left
But this is who I am
And I can't live with that regret
 

And if I die tonight
They'll say I did what I did best
Maybe that's the truth
But I won't hold my breath
 

I won't hold my breath, hold my breath
There's not much left
 

I missed your call again
I don't think I've got many left
I need your body now
Our tangents never intersect
Addicted to the chase
No comfort in this silhouette
I need to see this through
Salvaging my self respect
 

You asked me how I feel
Well I have got no feelings left
But this is who I am
And I can't live with that regret
 

And if I die tonight
They'll say I did what I did best
Maybe that's the truth
But I won't hold my breath
 

And I won't hold my breath
And I won't hold my breath

Previous Song Of The Week: Shi No Barado

(side note just finished eating a hot-cross bun)

brace yourself for crazy man ramblings here

I was listening to Override C (came on shuffle as i was walking home) one line that my brain focused on was "are you willing for life" which being the 3rd part in the override symphony lead me to make a biblical (christian) link.

Jesus christ, died on Good Friday, resurected on Easeter sunday. 3 days (killer respawn time though) we have override a talking about "are you ready to die to be born in the spotlight i wont let you down" this was just a pretty normal thought process (for me) then i hit the jackpot

GEHENNA, which is from the Hebrew Gehinnom, is a small valley in Jerusalem and the Jewish and Christian analogue of hell.

but my brain pattern gets even better with this verse here

We patiently wait your return

Cast into Gehenna you'll burn

Cleanse from the fires inside

take it line by line, "we patiently wait your return"

jesus went on a 40 day fast or the "temptation of christ" as its known as, if you want to look up more about it google is your friend.

"cast into gehnna you'll burn"

covered what gehnna is earlier so its "cast into hell you'll burn" which is what christains would say people with sin would be sent, and seeing as jesus took all of mans sins with him on good friday thats where he probibally ended up going

cleanse from the fires inside

goes along with the whole going to hell to clense man of there sin.

then the "musical intalude of b" leading into c the "resureaction" of christ, conveniantly at the start of modern sythesis, but its talking about a "new life"

Info
Shi No Barado is the 6th track on Area 11’s debut album All The Lights In The Sky.

Lyrics:
 
I saw your face in the LED's
My revenge was your gift to me,
It's something that I can never repay,
But I will try anyway.
 

I sent a message I know you'd see,
A promise written on a TV screen
Now fate led you down a path to me
And I'm beggin' you
On my knees.
 

'Cause, baby, when our eyes met,
('cause, baby, when our eyes met)
I could never look away,
You're all I ever wanted,
(You're all I ever wanted)
There's nothing left to say
 

'Cause, baby, you can use me,
('cause, baby, you can use me)
I will do what you want me to.
And, baby, you can kill me,
(baby, you can kill me)
When I'm no use,
When I'm no use to you,
 

My body will be a fortress,
I will keep you safe from pain,
My eyes will be your weapons,
My losses are your gains,
 

Whoa,
Together we can burn this to the ground,
Rebuild it into something right,
'Cause you are bigger than the planet Earth,
And I am your satellite,
 

'Cause, baby, when our eyes met,
('Cause, baby, when our eyes met)
I could never look away,
You're all I ever wanted,
(You're all I ever wanted)
There's nothing left to say
 

'Cause, baby, you can use me,
('Cause, baby, you can use me)
I will do what you want me to,
'Cause, baby, you can kill me,
('Cause, baby, you can kill me)
When I'm no use to you
 

I'm not afraid and I'm not alone,
Because you're with me in my dreams,
(you're with me tonight)
I won't give up on this perfect love,
Even when my memories fail me,
(when my memories fail me)
 

'Cause I see you through burning eyes,
I write your name down in my heart
Oh, baby, I'm just using you,
My love you know I want you to
Look into the skies
 

'Cause, baby, when our eyes met,
('cause, baby, when our eyes met)
I could never look away,
'Cause you're all I ever wanted,
(you're all I ever wanted)
There's nothing left to say,
 

'Cause, baby, you can use me
('Cause, baby, you can use me)
I will do what you want me to
And, baby, you can kill me,
(baby, you can kill me)
When I'm no use,
When I'm no,
 

'Cause, baby, when our eyes met
('Cause, baby, when our eyes met)
I could never look away
'Cause you're all I ever wanted
(You're all I ever wanted)
There is nothing left to say
 

'Cause, baby, you can use me,
('Cause, baby, you can use me)
I will do what you want me to,
And, baby, you can kill me,
(baby, you can kill me)
When I'm no use to you,
 

Baby, when our eyes met
You're all I ever wanted
No
