Lyrics
---------------------------
Destroy apathy and hope
Destroy everything you own
Nihilistic tendencies within my bones
You gotta break a few
You gotta lose it all
This fear
No, I'm not ashamed
Giants tower over bodies charred and maimed
Am I sick with a disease or am I sane
You gotta start to run
Before you learn to crawl
My mind's a wreck
They tell me everything will be okay
Well, I wanna be the hunter not the hunted
I wanna be the killer not the prey
My heart can't take much more
Constantly repeating every single beat I felt before
Every single time I hit that wall
Crystal bodies hold me tight
As I fall into the night
Just for a chance to see the light
The beating of the drum
That I heard so many times I became numb
Are we constantly tormented just for fun
We'll never understand
The killer starting gun
Hold your breath and plunge too deep
My demons always had my soul to keep
And I'm dying every time I fall asleep
I wanna be reborn
Instead of being done
My mind's a wreck
What use is believing if I can't pray
I wanna be the hunter not the hunted
I wanna live one more day
Can't take much more
Constantly repeating every single beat I felt before
Every single time I hit that wall
Crystal bodies hold me tight
As I fall into the night
Just for a chance to see the light
Give me a chance to see the light
Human disease
I'm getting sick of it
Fall to your knees
Fake it till it washes all away

At this point I'm convinced Ken is just an amalgamation of voices that can freely morph between them.
Ikr
I wish Ken made more songs like this.
I wish Ken made more songs.

@@robbmitchell7846 these are very good recommendations, touch fluffy tail is also another recommendation

Also dunkmaster yi
Take me home
Almost every 2 sentences he changes to different kind of sound for the vocal, this is fucking amazing
The line "I wanna be the hunter, not the hunted" is SOOO good. The way the music kicks in with the lyrics gets me so pumped every time I hear it.
MrCanadianAviator i personally like the line "i wanna live one more day!" the growl in that line feels just right
"Crystal Bodies hold me tight as i fall into the night" also hits hard
Followed by "I wanna be the killer not the prey" too
Wow, we can comment...
I love you Ken, your songs are amazing.

But with your avatar, it kind of feel like yandere moment here
If I had the money, I'd buy all of his songs. Damn you're so talented.
IF i had money i would too
For real
I believe that their point was that they want to give the artist money.
@TheOneAndOnlyMuffinCat ken does say you can pirate that shit on the description for his song "I wish there were still dinosaurs"
@@specticulrtainment1809 yeah but that's OLD
I wanted to know who was Ken Ashcorp. Instead, I got a masterpiece.
Now, to continue hearing awesome songs.
Hell the man itself is probably a masterpiece
Hey Ken, saw your message. Hope you’re feeling a bit better after it but probably not I guess. Just wanted to say that I hope things improve for you. It might not seem like much at times but there’s a big community of people out here who love what you do and want you to continue it, if it makes you happy of course. You’re a tough guy to get in contact with but hopefully you read this.
This man speaks the truth. You are an inspiration. Dont you dare hold yourself back. Honestly speaking, you are a hero to me. Lets make the impossible possible and glorious for everyone.
This. Your music is a great inspiration to us all, but you should never feel pressured to deliver to us.
Things can be tough sometimes, but I'm sure you'll find your way. Hang in there.
Love you Ken♥
I don't want to seem rude but I have no idea to what happen, can anyone tell me?
@@djlumi4863 Check out the Community tab on his RUclips profile (which I didn't even know what a thing until I saw it on the RUclips app). If you can't see it, he said: "In other news, I can't lie and say that I've been okay for the past 7 months. Things haven't been good. This is a problem that I'd rather not have to deal with."

The fact that the lyrics still fit after all that happened is astounding

Maybe attack on titan or sum cuz of the lyrics "giants tower over bodies charred and maimed"

You should totally cover a Ken Ashcorp song someday!
Liking the sound of THAT

Copy right claim
YES
the youtube recommendation box was actually useful for once
maciej andryszak rzadko się to zdarza co nie
I really love this song. It's not even just about "being a badass" like one might assume from the guitar riffs and the intensity of the song.
You can tell Ken added elements like somberness, loss, and despair. It's not as evident in the main song except for a few lyrics:
"Destroy everything you know, destroy everything you own" "can't take this much more, constantly repeating..." "my mind's a wreck"
The Survey Corps suffered so much death and misery because of the Titans. This song does a great job of reflecting all the pain and anger they felt.
"Destroy apathy and hope" but yeah
Hey hey people
On this week's episode I discover that two of my favourite youtubers are mutual fans of each other
who?
And both well versed in the cultured world. That's a crossover I didn't expect
@@weeberius832 indeed they do
Yep
@@guyzamdvais1357 I see you are not a member of the merchants guild. A shame, indeed.
This song has a lot of Muse vibes to it.
Muse? You mean that idol group?
That's exactly what I thought I fucking love it
which muse?
Thank you for an introduction into a new band.
To anybody still confused, look up Muse's songs "Supermassive Black Hole," " Knights of Cydonia," and "Undisclosed Desires" for a few that you may recognise.
6 years later and this is still my favorite Ken song
Fuck yea
touch titan's tail
holy fuck that's a good comment lmfao
Mmmh~ might do 😏
@@gabrielblanchard3081 its nnn now
you are forbidden
@@gabrielblanchard3081 🗿 i hate humanity
This is the first song i listened to. It always gives me the thought of surviving an Apocalypse of the undead or anything that a person might go through. I always think of this song whenever it comes to school, zoning out, and especially anger.
I always wanted to comment on this song and now I can. Thank You Ken Ashcorp.
Its about the anime attack on titan...
+Sugar Sugar (Sugar) i know
Sugar Sugar DON'T YOU JUST LOVE NAKED GIANTS RUNNING AROUND LIKE THAT? (I'm a pure sinner when it comes to Armin> Cinnabun❤)
xZie llAx lol, not when you put it that way...
I'd prefer, You know... Just giving you that urge to..completely "unalive" something. Because of Anger...or for good.. Either way, that's just how I feel everytime I listen to this song...
This music grows on you and matures like a fine wine
yeah I can't stop listening to this music
the way the first "i wanna be the hunter not the hunted" just hits me, its amazing
yeah you understand it too
you know a songs good when its been 8 years since its been posted and people are STILL actively listening and commenting on it
Man I feel like Ken Ashcorp’s music is so weird, but I just can’t help but love it
Although my native language is not English (and my English is very poor), I think this song should be listened to the homophony he sang. There are many kinds of songs like this
I mean people like Jack Stauber and his music is pretty weird too
I know nothing about attack on titan so I don’t know how well the lyrics relate, but as a song on its own this slaps
It doesn't, that's why it's even better.
@@MichaelYumizuri there are a few obscure references
@@xcxp3226 yeah but they're difficult to spot and that's the best thing about this song
At some point in nearly everyone's life lies those proverbial walls they're both scared to cross and yet challenged or outright forced to do so. It's a big part of Attack on Titan's theming, and of this song's too. While some of the lyrics are a little more directly referential, I'd imagine the metaphors still stick.
@@MichaelYumizuri "Well, I wanna be the hunter not the hunted
I wanna be the killer not the prey"
Season 4 basically.
I always forget the comment sections of Ken Ashcorp's videos are immortal.
I have to thank 2 Gentlemen Heavies for introducing me to this channel
Yeeeaaaah. The same two heavies reminded me this channel
Same let's be glad about those two fine blokes
COMMENTS?! Okay, wow. *breaths heavily* I never thought this day would come. Uh.
Ken, you're amazing and you keep getting better. I've listened to everything you've done for... I guess 5 or 6 years straight now! I love your music and I hope you get to do more live shows. By fault of being European, I could not go see you the one time you did one. :( Keep being the most kickass artist I know for many, many more years!
Person: What's your favorite song from Ken?
Me: Yes.
I think you meant every one of them
@@zaxarie that’s what that means lol

@@sahiralvarado4651 it truly is.
i wound say the newest pootis engage extreme brought many new blood to his channel, at least im glad i found him through it
This aged very well considering how the story of AoT went
Yeah lol, remember when we thought that Living Tombstone was in kahoots with FNAF developer and pretty much leaked future lore in his songs? That's the same situation, but Ken actually predicted how the story will go.

Oh hey, this is very true.
i like Ken Ashcorp
thanks bro
We like
I think he's pretty neat.

Heloo Froug
8 years later and after attack on titan has finished, this songs lyrics hold much more weight now than ever.
This shit is getting me through my divorce
A very fitting song for it, i wish you well
My condolences go out to your kangaroo wife
And u
This almost sounds like Muse...
That's what I was thinking, also kind of mixed with 30 Seconds to Mars
+Cameron Hale Exactly!
Dat combo tho.
Right because all alternative rock sounds exactly like just 30 seconds to mars and muse and that's it nothing else.

@@AdmireVega alright, thank you
@@AdmireVega Yeah this one
@@AdmireVega XDDDDDD
It's like someone took Muse's entire discography but just the good parts and filtered it into one song, i fucking love it.
Ya, honestly I just listen to this while I game etc but Ken has a real voice/lyrical talent.
The fact that he's not famous shows me that the game is rigged and all a "who you know" basis just like normal work.
Hope my boy Ken reads this and realizes he has a talent, I hate furries and anime but this music has a lot of talent/heart; Hats off Ken and hope you get all that's owed to you.
My heart can't take much more
Constantly repeating
Every single beat I felt before
Ain't that a mood
SURE IS
How can a song be beautiful yet epic at the same time?!
I think Ken Ashcorp just answered that question
that'd be five finger death punch or avenged, they may answer that too
im new for this.....not regret clicking that panda furry thingy
This is the kind of song I blast and sing and that's a rarity for me it's a beauty.
currently obssessed with this one
It does go hard tbh.
same
Glad most of these comments sections are still alive and well.
Lol
easy to forget these are from 7 years ago, lol
The legend never dies
Man, I can't listen to this song without remembering when I asked my english teacher what "nihilistic tendencies within my bones" meaned, while a friend of mine, older than me, laughed. Good memories.
This song still feels like it's one of the new ones to me, so it feels weird to realize there are people looking back with nostalgy to it
Why did they laugh? I geninuely don't get it
@@AlexandreRibeiroXRV7 Because -cringe- it sounded silly, of course
@@AlexandreRibeiroXRV7 I'm a bit late but here goes.
So to start with he just randomly asked something ridiculously edgy in the middle of class which is already embarrassing, and secondly he put the teacher on the spot to explain an insanely controversial philosophy that starts off with a large prelude about how there is no god and life is meaningless before it even gets into explaining what it thinks people should do with their lives. A message which was so hilariously misunderstood that the Nazis went on record saying they liked it. After that bit of faint praise it became the philosophy of insane people and assholes. This is quite ironic since the whole point of nihilism was that no philosophy could justify being an asshole because nothing in the universe mattered except what you personally do. So the answer to the question is just as over the top as the question itself.
12 years late but im glad that i found these amazing songs
Same
wydm 12 year later ?
@@siluda9255 his first video was 12 years ago and I just found his channel like a month ago so I’m 12 years late
I'm not come here late I'm come in the just moment
I feel like this song is appropriate for bloodborne as well.
yeah
yeah with some of the lines not really
But still yeah
Whatevuh The sunbro But no really, I can imagine one of the super powered hunters going toe to toe with titan after titan, and it paints an AWESOME picture in my head. Mostly with the ludwig's holy blade, but still.
stinkybean5 yeah
i shanked that one person idk the name
but tots worth grinding 20000 souls for those blades of mercy
loved those things
Ken can tackle any genre and set the bar while he’s at it.
how does this person not have millions of subs?
Despite the astounding quality of his songs, he updates infrequently. On RUclips, that means low subscribers. Even legends like FlashGitz only have 1 million, and yet each of their videos hits 10mil+ each time.
oh
I just can't believe two years boiled down to a bit less than six minutes. At least it was absolutely awesome! Seriously, this stuff is great, every single one of these songs!
S Cooper Ken is a criminally under-viewed artist. It really is a shame. His voice is goddamn heavenly
Honestly, I can fully agree with that.
long live Ken Ashcorp
i like how im seeing people coming back to listen to these like im doing, its like we are all in sync or something.
This moment when you show it to your friends and they instantly likes this, and can't stop listening to this song. Just like you. Because this is just perfect.
Clicked this song by chance, and it blew me away. Dude, you've got some talent, absolutely amazing!
Yes he does
Of course he has talent
Absolutely amazing like Absolute Territory. It's also a fire song
This is his best song. Such a great mix of genres, very well produced, the material it references is popular. I listen to it almost daily.
today, 7 years ago.
I wanna be the hunter not the hunted
I wanna be the killer, not the prey
>Everybody liked that
True
Got my car totaled by some chick in a lifted pickup while listening to this song. Good memories. Hope everyone is having a good day.
Hope you get all sorted out my dude.
Should've been the hunter, not the hunted.
Does bro ever miss when it comes to his songs?
No
I remember my brother played this song when he was playing the final level of Halo Reach, it was simply epic
Real
I don't know why, but this song also remainds me of Bloodborne.
Still, I love it
lol Who would imagine id find you here.
Talking Vidya What are your doing here?!
Talking Vidya I came looking for the song of your video... I see you're a man of culture as well
Lol, que cosas encontrarte aqui xd
Aunque con las canciones que pones en tus videos, debi imaginarlo
I know this song for your videos :3, i like this song
I can't believe 2015 was 7 years ago
i read this and thought it was a "can you believe 2005 was 45 years ago" type joke but then i promptly turned into a vapor and combusted. *_IT WAS. IT WAS 7 YEARS AGO_*
@@KoKoKen 😂
i refuse to B E L I V E
i know he says "every single time i hit that wall" but i cant help but hear "hit that woah"
Because that's what he's saying, he didn't pronounce wall. He said woah despite what subtitles and lyrics may say.
They weren't exaggerating when they say there's new comments every day under Ashcorp songs
on that day, mankind received a grim reminder. we lived in fear of the titans and were disgraced to live in these cages we called walls
I'll be honest at first it felt like it was going to sound like the MGR soundtrack, and then it didn't, and then it did again. I honestly adore this song.
you say that like you dont adore every other KA song there is
This thing should be the opening of a series or something, its so cool!!!
Yes. That was what I was thinking.
This song is one of my absolute favorites, I could belt this over and over again for literal HOURS. Belting this song feels so GOOD, and it's so fun. (That could, of course, be me knowing how to belt in a healthy manner, but that's besides the point)
Feels like it could be a Muse song. I love it!
4 years later and this song still slaps
Not fuckin wrong my guy
wait 10 more years and maybe it'll update
"I wanna be the Hunter, not the Hunted"
*WELL*
i thought i was listening to a muse song for a second, and i do mean that as a compliment
Somehow he manages to emulate the sound of practically every band, I got a one stop shop for the "feels" I wanna listen to.
I've listened to this song dozens of times, and it hits me a little different each time while still sounding as good as it did initially. I love it
I know that this is inspired on AoT, but the lyrics are SO Bloodborne
This always pumps me up! :D
listen to it on 1.5 speed
lets not ruin yet another good song by nightcoring it the fuck up....
Not quite nightcore, just sped up
Cathal Nolan thats all nightcore is....
yeah nightcore is just speeding up a song, maybe adjust the pitch a little
Coming back to this despite knowing it's about AOT, i still feel like there's other connections that can be made here and it's beautiful. The parallels to AOT are obvious, but once you see past the tribute it's not just about AOT, it's about tired of being weak, tired of feeling like you can't do anything, and wanting to take back your life. There's so many other series, stories, and more this can connect to and I love it.
At some point in our lives, I feel like everyone hits that wall and wants nothing more than to just climb it, to see the light outside of the dark and be free again and I feel like this song is the anthem to that feeling.
Don't be afraid of the hunter. Be the killer, not the prey.
I love the The Killers and Muse vibes I'm getting from this.
I know right?
This is totally MUSE'ISH
wow comments are back on. Never knew why they were disabled but been jamming to this for 7 years. This song is timeless!
backlash due to being a furry

I don't know what you're doing with your vocal chords to make you sound the way you do, but it's magical.

I see people have once again discovered this song.
its always nice to see so many new regular plp come across this god of a song
God I love how many fucking styles you have
why does it feel so motivating even if it is about how cruel world is?
Ink sans is canonically a psychopath
Maybe it's the tone or maybe how some parts seems like the singer talking about trying to break out of this or just telling you to survive it all regardless of it all
Like the part it goes "I want to live for o more day!"
I am surprised on how lyrically complex the song is with double meanings and expression of a very human mindset where search for survival and meaning supersedes conventional morality.
Very cool music.
i know its about attack on titan but god this song is so fitting for monster hunter
Jeez now I see it too
Kinda got more Bloodborne vibes from this tbh.
the comments are all so recent. this makes me happy.
Why are these comments all so new and yet I'm being recommended this guy now
we keep this channel alive baby
We make an effort to comment on his songs very regularly, like a pilgrimage honoring his good musics. It's almost a religion.
Ken is beloved of the algorithm. It randomly recommends his work en mass a few times a year.
He tends to upload a few days after this happens as well. It's like it knows.
All hail the algorithm.
based on the arts specific perspective, it could be just as well assumed a miniature human hunting corps of panda looking mice are on the hunt for ordinary people, and this one dude villager just so happened to not be wearing a shirt just got marked. Revenge for all those mouse traps? Perhaps.
Cool idea, background kinda reminds me of Attack on titan though with the twin blades and jacket + grapple, perhaps they're meant to be a Attack on Titan Reference?
@@bastion5686 You say perhaps as if this isn't a literal and direct reference to Attack on Titan
