Lyrics:
gold, let it unfold, imagine you’re dressed in gold,
roaring crowds in manchester will manage to be told,
oh and your king
the boy you loved in spring,
the way she looks at him,
the common goal,
and waiting for the kids to go
we’ve been, held back for after school meetings,
they’ve got it in for me,
for what its worth,
the key to, life on earth
jokers, happy go xenophobe locals,
have got it in for me,
for all im worth
the key to, life on earth
holy smokes,
you kids and your jokes,
asking where we got our jeans,
and where the hell we found our coats,
cause dirty streets these days are graced by nikes of black and green,
and headstrong boys in chinos barely grasp what that could mean,
and they lie,
then men that wrung us dry,
the boys who poked your eye,
the common fool, the walk to school for you and i
we’ve been, held back for after school meetings,
theyve got it in for me,
for what its worth,
the key to, life on earth
the thing is, the out of touch, scrounging rich kids,
are living here for free,
on my home turf
the key to, life on earth,
call in to wake you up in the morning, iron your suit and tie forever till you die
join forces like carousels and their horses forever spinning round,
and never coming down
come out and join us honey we will sort u out
come work in brookfield park and we will shut your mouth
come work in sainsburys babe until you’ve had enough
come on out come on out

He knew exactly what he was doing when he picked Alex
I can’tttt, I keep mixing them up since 2017 😭 also Rex Orange County. I became aware of all three of them at the same time and I genuinely can’t tell them apart, this thumbnail is already hurting my brain
Ikr
empty sky they don’t look the same in my eyes hahaha.
When I watched that black mirror episode I googled it thinking it was Dec, its so crazy to see this it makes me so happy, especially after the end of the fucking world

I don't remember this episode of Black Mirror...
LOL
Hahaha
Ahhaahahhaa
Nooooo hahahahaha
You don’t? It was a scrapped episode from one of the recent seasons
BRO . . . Everyone kept telling him he looks like Alex Lawther and he rlly went and did This
flibusted and when they did this they dont really look alike
THIS IS EPIC
when. worlds. collide
Olivia you can run or you can hide
Declan said this song’s about how we’re all the same but so hostile towards each other, so the twin represents how we compete to be better even though when it comes down to it we’re all the same; we’re all human

He’s a genius. I’ve been thinking about this so much lately
@@maxwilson2785 you are not the only one, I thought this was about self deprecation or something like that

ALEX AND DECLAN FIGHTING WHILE THEY'RE DRESSED AS ROACHES IS WHAT I NEEDED TODAY
pepper malijan , I deadass saw it and could not STOP laughing, I was like “somebody needs to call Bob Duncan”
When I watched TEOTFW I said "this guy looks like Declan McKenna", I told it to my brother and he said "you are crazy" , now I know I ain't crazy
Yees, I also commented it a declan’s videoo so i feel partly responsible for this😊😊
Monse Bates I’m glad I’m not alone 😂
this plays out like a black mirror episode and i love it
Alex is the protagonist of one episode of Black Mirror!!
shut up and danceee

That episode messed me up
I came for Alex Lawther...
I left with a new favourite song.
OMFG SAME!!
Alex is my fav actor
That’s exactly what happened to me
Samee
And that's what happened to me 😅
me too
Never thought an inside joke could be so perfectly executed
James Ross RIGHT
James Ross what inside joke?
you can literally see on their faces how hard they’re trying not to laugh, i hope we get a bts on this soon
weird honey WE NEED A BEHIND THE SCENES S O FUCKIN BAD DUDE
YES WE NEED THAT BTS
I knoow it's so funny 😂😭
Yeye lmao
oh you were talking about a behind the scenes
HOW DID THEY KEEP IT TOGETHER DURING THE ROACH SCENE WUFHSJSJJS
"In a way, it reflects how I feel about how hostile human relationships can be and how humans can be towards each other despite how similar they often are."
yesssss
Cockroach
So siblings
Absolutely
now invite asa butterfield and fredie highmore
Yunita Tri Handayani hell yes
YES
PERFECT
YESSSSSSSSS
YES
I hate how the world won’t know how iconic this is
I'm far far away in a small country and i'm so blessed to know how iconic this is
Exactly What I Think about it. Brazilian people should listen more songs like that :DD
Why is it iconic
@@elchinitofeliz1699 alex and declan

No one:
Literally no one:
Declan: so Alex, we’re gonna fight dressed up as cockroaches
i thought it was a flea homie lmao
i thought it was lice😍😍😍
KAFKANIAN
Declan and Alex beating the hell out of each other in cockroach costumes is something we never knew we needed, but needed it nonetheless
still cant believe he actually got Alex for this, Declan really loves us
*everyone: omg this guy looks like fooking alex*
*declan: why shouldn't we shoot a clip 2gather ha Alex*
THIS IS WHAT I THOUGHT
The guys an actor
He was in a series called ‘end of the fcking world’
@@keybyndr6827 ikr
imagine sharing a foot long with declan mckenna. furthermore imagine sharing a foot long with alex lawther
hiddenshell THIS COMMENTTT
they're both really living the dream aren't they
Imagine being the foot long
@@gilmars2720 LMAO 💀💀
that sandwich ain’t the only foot long i wanna consume
The weird thing is, now that they're right beside each other, they don't look so much alike anymore....
Ikr!!! I think he looks more like James when the real James is not around😂
yeahhh
I think is for the Alex's haircut, in the video is a bit shorter than in the end of the fing world and Declan has something like a tiny ponytail
Ahs Roanoke.
This is because our brains are actually really bad at remembering things, like faces and people. So it basically just fills in the blanks in your memory with a "fake" memory. So if two people look similar, your brain pretty much assumes they are almost identical until you are actually looking at them with your own eyes, then you can see all the differences. Our brains basically lie to us all the time instead of actually remember things :D
is the key to life on earth learning to coexist or accept “the other side” of yourself (that may not be that great) and acknowledging that its there without having it take over?
That is what seems to make sense out of this video.
i think what declan said it meant in interviews was about hostility and conflict between people who are similar in many ways - the meaning being that we shouldn't fight over stupid things (like who gets to go to daniel's fancy dress party) because despite our differences we're all human.
m00n b00tz oh I thought it was a depiction of codependent relationships shown through the poster at the start which says “two heads are better than one”
Man u have just complicated my high bruh
tbh I think the mv and song have a different meaning. a lot of songs do that
2:36 that’s not even acting dec was genuinely hurt
Victoria M “my beans...”
At first I was like "wtf is up with every Netflix character becoming a singer?" Plot twist, he's still an actor.
Actor? Poor Declan actually has to put up with this stuff everyday.
Rt.
I THOUGHT THE SAME THING-
Same
Same
Taking testosterone has made my voice drop to about Declan's range, and I want this to be the first song I learn with my new voice!
I'd love to see that! :)
Announce us here if you end up posting it!! I’d be happiest to be your nr1 fan!!^^
fuck yea bro! if you decide to record it tell us!! so down give it a listen n a like!!!
@BitterVoid what's wrong with the way he said it?
@BitterVoid He didn't say anything wrong, what
"I’M JAMES. I’M 17, AND I’M PRETTY SURE I’M A PSYCHOPATH."
HAHAHAHAHA love it xD #teotfw4life
he do be a psycopath doe
I need the end of the f***ing World 3:(
aesthetic Leo we*
@@leonardolazcano7567 i knowwwww!!!!! but i think it was a beautiful ending tho,
I can’t believe he got Alex to do this with him IM SO HYPED
so is no one going to talk about how GOOD this song actually is?
I know!!! I can't stop listening
Absolutely fantastic. One of his best
I'm in love with it.
Everyone is talking about that
For me, 1. Brazil 2. The key to life on earth 😉
“I’ve just turned 18, and I think I understand what people mean to each other.”
it’s impossible to name one bad declan song
Brazil
Berlín T that’s a lie
@@neizzzen😂😂?? you better be joking
@@neizzzen er???
The olny song i don't love of Declan is Humongeus, then every song is 😍
I might be looking too much into this video but to me, it seems Alex in the video represents some sort of mental illness such as anxiety and/or depression. The way Alex slowly starts to become the more dominant force within the video could portray how things like depression slowly start to seep into peoples lives; at first, it could be almost unnoticeable demonstrated in how at first Alex comes across as friendly but over time starts to cause pain in Declan's life making him withdraw, stop eating, stop doing the things he loves such as reading, etc all of which are presented within the video. As it becomes more and more dominant its as if Declan tries to fight it off but ultimately, in the end, ends up loosing and becoming a shadow of his former self, presented at the end with Declan being in the reflection instead of Alex.
I thik the same! Is like, is showing all the process of the ill, so well that hurts, the fight looks funny but is that moment when you are figthing for became again the person you used to be, the fight to take the control of your life again... I feel it have a deep message
Wow you’re right .
Thank you for this interpretation, i adore it
I'm glad someone agrees because I watched it and was like "wow, depression" but was worried I was just projecting
This is literally Fan service for both declan and Alex
This guy makes fucking good melodies
True
2:48 i absolutely love how they are both trying to hold their laugh. this is the best thing ever
what episode of black mirror is this
I am Drew
I am Danny
*And we are not the same person*
SAME ENERGY
same energy lmaooo
We may have similar lives we may have similar wives but we are different nonetheless
except that alex is a stalker
HAHAHHHAAHHAH
Love the Kafka reference.
no way this is happening. top 10 anime crossovers

Who would said that a video about eating beans, a baguette, fighiting as a cockroach and reading with your evil twin would have such a homoerotic undertune. 10/10
my fav comment here
this comment right here, deserves an award
no it doesn’t tf?? i thought they were brothers
@@comedownmachine4682 no he's meant to be another version of Declan (and if you mean they're real life siblings they're not)
im crying omgggg
Has anyone else noticed the invite was for “Daniel’s” party.
i guess daniel had a fancy dress party before he got 10 years in prison

@@ameliaford3962 you know. Daniel you’re still a child. From be an astronaut “Daniel do you remember”.
DECLAN AND ALEX ICONIC
Alex always manages to have perfect chemistry with ANYONE he works with it's insane and I love this man
TALENT !!! i’m going to scream
YESS
Lara Anderson I KNOW TIGHT HE’S INCREDIBLE
LARA!!
HE'S T.H.E B.E.S.T!!!!
When Declan wanted to turn the page of the book but Alex wasn’t letting him, you can tell they were trying not to laugh 😂
YESS
Timestamp 2:45
Cuuute
Honestly I was just looking for more alex lawther stuff, I saw this when I first searched alex lawther, I thought it was weird just seeing in the thumbnail, but once I ran out of alex lawther content, I decided to watch this vid, and at first I just kept waiting for a part where alex was in it, but after awhile I started to like the song, I kept playing this for a week, and I then found out about the other versions of the song, and I gotta admit they all sound awesome, now I'm listening to all of declan mckenna's songs, even Brazil, he's super talented and is very underrated, I hope he will get more recognition in the future.
2 years ago, i was at my house, and i was making cereal, but when i looked into fridge i discovered that there was no milk left, because of that i started to get really depressed, my family and friends wouldn't help me, all they would say is "it's just cereal get over it" but when in reality it wasn't just cereal, later on i found about Declan McKenna, and thanks to his music i was able to eat cereal, even when i was out of milk, and now my life is turning around for the better, so to anyone who plans on making cereal, if you have no milk, don't let that stop you from enjoying your cereal, you can still eat your cereal without milk. finally i just want to say, thank you Declan McKenna, thank you, you've changed my life forever.
Thanks for this 😂
I'll always remember your words.
HAHAHAHA I LOVE YOU NOW
@@zaramalik3797 sure
Your words will be forever cherished
So we’re just going to ignore the fact that this man has gone as far as eating BEAN CEREAL??!? someone take him to bean rehab
... bean-hab?
LET THE MAN ENJOY HIS BEANS 😤
Stef Baptista bean-hab.
are we gonna forget the lice fit?
THEY ARE NOT BEANS THEY ARE BEANOS
WHEN THEY FOUGHT AS ROACHES I COULDNT TELL WHO JUMPED WHO SJDJSJSJ
YES
SAME LMAO
“When they fought as roaches” imagine hearing that without knowing the context behind it 😭
Same 😂😂
I love Alex, he’s so soft
Soft?
He's more then that!
He's a friggin angel!
okay but billy :.)
Alex is going to get loads of people shouting across the street at him “oi declan!” now
Martin Hayfield like he didn't get that all the time anyway sjsgdhhd
he already got that before andbhw
Oof..hope not
Alex is sooo much better looking
cannot believe alex lawther is actually declan’s tether
*t e- t e t h e r* 👁👄👁
When one Declan just isn’t enough.
One Declan was never enough
i feel like not enough people are talking about how insane this song is
If your bf doesn't look at you the way Alex looks at Declan at 1:46... leave him and never come back
This song really makes me wanna Shut Up and Dance
Mac Kirkaldy I love that only some people will get that reference😂
If you’re a Metalhead, you may want to Hang The DJ and Bandersnatch the AUX cord away. However, I think this song should be The National Anthem, and anyone with reservations should give it a Playtest at least.
🤣🤣😭😭😭
The people who don’t like this are Men Against Fire. That’s it. That’s the last one
Mac Kirkaldy Be Right Back i’m going to listen to the rest of his songs on repeat. now it’s the last one
I love how Alex always looks like he's just about to smile it's so cute
Omg yes, I thought I was the only one who thought that
HE!! Is so cute*
My favourite actor and my favourite singer in one video was something I didn't ask for, but I needed.
THIS MUST HAVE BEEN HILARIOUS TO FILM

Shaye D THIS is the comment we all needed
ALEX’S FACE JUST POPPING UP WHILST DECLAN IS SLEEPING SENT ME
Declan signing; 😩
Alex signing; 😀
❤❤ALEX,❤❤
Alex 🛐
The first half of this just reads as a tender representation of a gay couple that look like each other
Alex and Dec: *exist*
Me: 💗💞💓💕💞💓💖💘💝💖💓💕💗💞💓💕
*the kind of content we thought we’d get the day Alex and Declan meet:*
a cute selfie backstage at an event or something.
*What we actually got:*
Declan and Alex fighting in cockroach costumes
don’t forget feeding each other *BEANS*
Are we complaining tho ?? No sir, we are certainly not
@@Jimmyeatshrimp Yeye! I just love how they went beyond what we expected LOL
I used to go to a private school on scholarship and the class difference between me and the other kids was huge, along with the fact my parents are immigrants. I was just a permanent outsider. I was a troubled kid who indeed was 'called in for after-school meetings' and could never afford 'nikes' and 'chinos'. It was difficult when all my classmates were living in mansions with parents who were high-flying business execs with Lamborghinis and Porsches whilst my mother drove a second hand Toyota and we lived in a tiny run-down flat. I was obviously treated differently because of it, including the kids, their parents and even the teachers. This song is really good at conveying the deep-seated anger that comes along with having socio-economical inequality rudely shoved in your face every day since you were a kid.
Now this guy is the smartest person I know
Us: You and Alex look alike Declan: I’m going to fight that guy in a roach costume after we’ve feed each other beans
fucking brilliant
excelente
best comment
I'm so gay for him
Hahahahaha
Omfg i thought about how they looked exactly the same through the entire teotfw series and now they're COLLABING?!?!?!?! So f'cking hyped.
I've been "discovering" this song for a week, and I can't stop listening to it, I love it.
Welcome to the club
idk why this video and song gives me nostalgia for something i haven't even ever experienced
OMG I FEEL EXACTLY THE SAME WAY WTFFFF
Same
I think it’s some sort of evolved form of vaporwave-presentwave?
It's what Declan does
Whoa, you just put into words exactly the way I feel about this song

AT LEAST FOR ONCE YAY
I’m sorry but how serious they both looked when the beans splattered- 💀
THAT SENT ME
I literally thought those were bloody teeth fml
more like declan was sad and alex felt empowered by it lol
I never thought i would see them together
Alex Lawther is one of my favourite young actors rn. I wish him so well in the future. End of the Fucking World is top tier television and imo one of the best shows to come from the 2010's.
I never ever comment but oh boy. This. This was the content that I had no idea I needed but was absolutely lacking. I cackled. I felt bad for Declan. I was utterly confused by bean cereal being a thing that exists. I loved the film grain lewk, the cockroach costumes, the whole thing. And of course the song is excellent too. But simply- thank you. This is what a music video should be.
Lilly Bidwell yEsYEsYeS
i think it's baked beans, not bean cereal. not sure if you're from the uk but it's a pretty common breakfast food over there! :)
i think he was eating cereal in one shot and then beans in another lol, you can see the fork vs spoon haha
@@graceb5204 I stand corrected! I'm not from the uk but that's really interesting :)

the same thing u thought ab the car, alex
a master piss
i love it!!
HE ACTUALLY DID IT. I cannot believe we got the collab of the year
Never not in my wildest dreams I woulve dreamed that this combination could happen
its funny how i can exactly hear the voice of alex saying: ''you sure you're alrigth down there?''
this whole video felt like a fever dream
All throughout the video I kept thinking “man he really does look a lot like Alex in some angles” until I discovered that it was, in fact, Alex.
same :DDD
HE SPILLED THE BEANS I LITERALLY CAN'T

is cute that sometimes they r trying not to laugh hahahaha I feel that they made a good friendship
I clicked for Alex Lawther, I stayed for the music

declan is cursive and alex is times new roman
nah bro they’re different people in the same font
HAHAHAHA
@@gorothekesha accurate
I honestly don’t think it’s possible for this man to make a bad song
everyone for years: omg they're so similar
Declan in 2020: It's time
This song is officially 1 year old! WOOOO!!!
Alex: no more beans
the moral of the story: i don't think declan likes everyone saying he looks like alex
Or beans
I see Declan, I click.
I see Alex, I click.
I see Declan AND Alex, I click aggressively- and then I cry.
