Description
A full D&D comedy music video about a suspiciously helpful tadpole and an adventurer who is definitely NOT becoming a Mind Flayer.
The party has questions. Our hero has excuses. Roll Insight and sing along to a bardcore anthem of terrible decisions.
"I'm Totally Not Becoming a Mind Flayer" by Twisted Tavern Tunes is a fantasy comedy song about explaining away every warning sign of ceremorphosis. An illithid tadpole couldn't possibly be behind these wonderful new powers... right?
For Dungeons & Dragons players, tabletop RPG parties, and Baldur's Gate 3 fans who thought "just one more tadpole" sounded like a good idea. Enjoy this bit of RPG music between sessions, or send it to the friend who always calls a terrible decision a character upgrade.
Would your character take the powers, or listen to the party? Tell us in the comments!

Okay
There is a tadpole in my head
But before anyone gets dramatic
Let's focus on the benefits
I'm not becoming something strange
I'm simply going through a change
I see through walls I float with ease
And hear your thoughts before you speak
You call it strange I call it fine
I'm sharper now by grand design
In body spirit heart and mind
Honestly?
I'm doing fine
My skin's gone purple just a shade
My eyes have changed but who's afraid?
I haven't slept in seven days
And still I'm winning every game
I’m totally not becoming a mind flayer
I’m only becoming more
I’m totally not becoming a mind flayer
Better than I was before
Read your mind
Bend your sight
Float on air
Don’t sleep at night
Call it strange
Call it change
I call it an upgrade
I’m totally not becoming a mind flayer
You looked concerned when I brought these
But honestly just look at these
They're tiny things
They're barely there
And soon you'll float right through the air
One little guest behind your eyes
And suddenly you're twice as wise
No awkward words no guessing games
You'll know their thoughts
They'll know your name
No contracts signed
No price to pay
Just gifts you didn't have today
And maybe you'll look slightly strange
But beauty's always prone to change
I’m totally not becoming a mind flayer
I’m only becoming more
I’m totally not becoming a mind flayer
Better than I was before
Read your mind
Bend your sight
Float on air
Don’t sleep at night
Call it strange
Call it change
Call it an upgrade
I’m totally not becoming a mind flayer
Now half the tavern shares a thought
And look at everything we've got
The rogue sees clearly in the night
The fighter knows before the fight
We're quicker now
We're hard to fool
We never argue over rules
A dozen minds can act as one
Admit it
This is getting fun
No misunderstanding
No wondering what someone meant
No lonely silence
No bitter words you can't prevent
No secrets
No doubt
No masks you have to wear
One mind touches another
And suddenly someone is there
No wondering who loves you
No wondering who will stay
No walls between our hearts and minds
No words that get in the way
And all it takes is one small friend
To make the loneliness end
They're really very small
You'd hardly notice
At first
Now yes my skull has changed a bit
And honestly I quite like it
And yes these tendrils frame my face
I think they add a touch of grace
The limits vanished from my mind
I left my lesser self behind
I hear each heartbeat in the room
And very soon
You'll hear them too
You called it sickness
Called it wrong
But you've been changing all along
And now that you can feel it too
Tell me
What did we really lose?
We’re totally not becoming mind flayers
We’re only becoming more
We’re totally not becoming mind flayers
Better than we were before
Read their minds
Bend their sight
Float on air
Own the night
Call it strange
Call it change
We call it right
We’re totally not becoming mind flayers
No fear
No lies
No walls inside
No lonely thoughts
No need to hide
One voice one dream
One grand design
Your mind is yours
And yours is mine
We’re totally not becoming mind flayers
We’re only becoming more
We’re totally not becoming mind flayers
Better than we were before
Read their minds
Bend their sight
Float on air
Own the night
Call it strange
Call it change
We call it right
We’re totally not becoming mind flayers
Actually
Why are we still pretending
I told you you'd like it
We’re all mind flayers
