"We Don't Bite" by JT Machinima is a song inspired by the popular video game franchise, Five Nights at Freddy's. The song tells the story of a character who recounts the events that have unfolded since their birthday party at Fazbear's Pizza, where they encountered the animatronic characters from the game. The lyrics describe the character's fear and paranoia as they find themselves alone in darkness, unsure of where their parents are. They express their dislike for animatronics and their desperation for a grown-up to check their closet, believing they may be in danger. As the song progresses, the character becomes increasingly afraid and apprehensive, checking halls, keeping doors closed, and listening closely for any signs of the animatronics' presence. They mention the infamous Freddy's friends and their enduring presence, despite the belief that Fazbear's Pizza was closed down. The chorus welcomes the listener "home" and invites them to play with the new toys, referring to the animatronics. It implies that the nightmares and fear lurk inside one's mind, making no place safe to hide. It suggests that rather than try to run away from the horrors, one should embrace the fear and join in the twisted fun. The character, however, refuses to believe in the idea of befriending the animatronics. They distance themselves, stating they will remain cautious and use a flashlight as a defense mechanism. They mention the fear of their batteries running out and express the realization that they are truly alone and abandoned. In the second chorus, the character pleads for help, acknowledging the constant presence and torment of the animatronics. They express feelings of isolation and consider that death might be the only way to find peace. But they quickly defy this notion, vowing not to give up easily and refusing to be devoured by a cupcake, a reference to one of the animatronic characters. The character asserts that the animatronics are not real, but their fear is genuine. They mention their connection to Fredbear's, another location in the game, and declare that it is time for the nightmares to end. However, the animatronics retaliate, stating that they are here to stay, indicating that there is no escape from the horrors they represent. Overall, "We Don't Bite" reflects the fear, paranoia, and struggle for survival in the hostile environment presented in Five Nights at Freddy's. It captures the essence of the game's eerie atmosphere and showcases the ongoing battle between the player and the animatronics.
