The song "Five Long Nights" by JT Machinima is inspired by the popular horror video game franchise, Five Nights at Freddy's. The lyrics depict the perspective of a night guard who has recently started working the night shift at a fictional restaurant called Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. The protagonist initially believes that the job will be easy, dismissing the urban legends surrounding the animatronic characters at the restaurant. However, as the nights progress, they realize that there is more to the job than meets the eye. The song explores the fear and paranoia experienced by the protagonist as they encounter strange events and encounter the animatronics coming to life. They express frustration over the dangerous and low-paying nature of their job and question why they were hired in the first place. The lyrics also reference the lore and mysteries surrounding the Five Nights at Freddy's game series, such as the Bite of '87 and the possibility of the animatronics being haunted. The protagonist contemplates the tragedies that have occurred at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza and questions the accuracy of the security cameras. The song builds tension and anxiety as the protagonist's power starts running low, increasing the risk of being attacked by the animatronics. They express their desperation to survive until 6 AM, which marks the end of their shift. In the final verse, the protagonist encounters Golden Freddy, a particularly menacing animatronic character in the game, adding to their fear and sense of impending doom. Overall, "Five Long Nights" captures the suspense and horror elements of the Five Nights at Freddy's game series, exploring the protagonist's struggle to survive the terrifying nights at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.
