I'm gonna earnestpost a bit here, if I had to give my interpretation of what Megalovania is "about" (and has stayed about in the multiple versions of it Fox has put in different projects) it's a song saying "Look what you did" "Look at how much havoc one human can wreak"https://twitter.com/arthur_affect/status/1306555152933896192 …

For better or for worse, a single person's sheer cussedness breaks the world That's why it's so important in the Undertale version of the song that it starts with that tinny little melody before all the instruments start screaming in your ear

(There's a famous review of Motorhead's Ace of Spades that describes the opening guitar riff as sounding like "the simultaneous end of the world and beginning of a new one" Which is a florid way to describe any song, but it's definitely how I hear the beginning of Megalovania)

It's a song that went from an Earthbound ROM hack he made when he was a teenager to a song he reworked for a video for Homestuck to a song he put as an easter egg for the hidden ending to a Kickstarter project he aimed at the Homestuck furry fandom

Sometimes someone gets an idea in their head, and all the reasonable people in the world tell them it's a bad idea and they should do something else, and for whatever reason, they just say no And then things happen
