" 'Cause despite all my potential, it might never be kinetic..." My nerdy STEM ass: "Bars." If I may take this concept on a side tangent: the vibration of atoms is a form of kinetic energy, and this vibration is measured as temperature. So technically we convert potential energy to kinetic energy just by being alive and generating body heat. Eating food, making our atoms jiggle. So in this specific, profoundly metaphorical sense, even science tells us that our worth is not dependent on our productivity; our potential is already kinetic just because we're alive. (Gotta love it when science has poetic meaning.)
I'm the same That I was When I was Seventeen I assumed I would grow But I'm still Green Still a sprout Running out of time to change into more I can't claim That I wasn't in charge of my growth Was it pride or just weakness? Or both? Was it fair Nothing's fair I don't care- Just ignore If I wanted to be better You'd think by now I would be But I am endlessly excusing what my poor decisions make me Though it's not the path I'm choosing, I'm allowing it to take me And it feels like a crime to act like who I'm already, who I should I be Though I keep it confidential I'm essentially Synthetic 'cause despite all my potential. It might never be kinetic When is it too late? Where's the deadline the red line, to cross? The Golden Opportunity's, gone but is there dross left behind I can find and use to rise off the floor What is fate? but the end of the road that we're on? Can I choose to be king? And not pawn? Still as weak Still can't move but an improvement from before If I wanted to be better. You would think, by now I would be And even when I follow every guideline to the letter. I'm afraid it's always hollow And I'm never getting better And it feels a crime to act like I'm already who I should be But if I'm less ashamed of my disguise than what's inside it? Can my inner self be blamed For all the times it's tried to hide it? (Ooh) (Ooh)
I had a hard time finding the lyrics (besides the video obviously) so if anyone later finds these and creates a copy online just know who created this first. And also I did this for my girlfriend who I thought this was perfect for me to try and sing to her. So here's the lyrics for anyone
@@marmottesoprano7561 Of course, I am a lover at heart so I dedicated myself to posting the lyrics for my girlfriend and I thought it would be nice to share since I don't want people to have to take pictures of the entire lyrics like I did just to write them again off the video
Also found you through "Passing Through", just realised it was auto-generated by RUclips so I searched for you and you happened to have posted this today. Well, I really like your lyrics and I can relate to them in some ways. In any case, do keep up with what you're doing, because it is very good and I enjoy it quite a lot. Have a good day :)
A lot of people feel the exact way that your lyrics portray, some of which I know and have felt a little bit as well, and your lyrics have nailed my heart. Thank you for shedding light on people who feel this way because it can be very lonely and not everyone understands. Edit: You have an AMAZING voice
i almost never use this word to describe like anything else but i can't stress enough how CRIMINALLY underrated this song is. i've never heard a song that resonated with me more than this one and i'm so happy that i found it because this is in my opinion your best display of lyrical genius.
I discovered you through your brilliant song "Your Stupid Face." I was impressed by this song as well! The lyrics are really meaningful and relatable. Keep up the great work!
I just found your stuff today and I've been listening through it. It's good man! You have an excellent command of language. Some of my favorite lyrics out there. They're nuanced, poetic and very real. The word choice is impressive and I'm insanely jealous of how natural and smooth your cadence is😅. Thanks for putting this up. I hope you keep creating!❤
I like music that makes me feel. Even if im feeling the worst parts of me, crying into my pillow and mourning who i could have been, its better than when the depression makes me numb
This needs to be put on Spotify so I could add it to my playlist. I found you from a random RUclips playlist recommendation and I fell in love with your music. Time passing through is my favorite song of all time and I love all of your songs too. You definitely deserve 10x times more attention your music is beautiful. Keep up the great work.
I love your voice. It reminds me of Kermit the frog but it works really well for the melodies you write. And the lyrics are so smooth and silly and real. I love it.
Something about your lyrics really speak to me. I haven't stopped listening to this song. I've been listening to this song on repeat for the past 8 hours. Your music is really wonderful and means a lot to me. I don't think there's a song of yours I haven't adored. So thank you : )
I don't think I could find another songwriter that could more aptly put all the thoughts that race through my mind into words. These songs have been part of a larger catalyst for change in my life. I don't think I'm ready, but I'm starting to realise that I'll never be ready. Life happens whether you want it to or not, and trying to stop it is about as effective as trying to stop a faucet with your hands. I'm finally starting to take back control over my life, and you are one of the people I have to thank for inspiring such change.
I just found out about your songs, I just love it. Everything's a masterpiece. I can feel every emotion and I love that they have stories. I'm a new fan.
You are going to go so far! You are my favorite artist and I hope one day more people can see your beauty! You are so talented and I hope you realize how happy each of your songs make people feel!
I want to sing this for my cabaret for my school. Can someboday please make a kareoke version. It doesn't have to be this year, just before the end of the class of 2025 in general. Please, this is my dream.
I've been listening to all of ur songs on a loop for the past 6 hours Edit: it has currently been now up to 9 hours Edit: it's the next day Edit: It's the end of today Edit: It's been a week Edit: ayo, i'm back, and it's been a month Edit: GUYS IT'S BEEN 2 MONTHS Edit: 3 MONTHS, I'VE BEEN WAITING TO SAY THIS Edit: 4 MONTHS, PPL ARE NOW REMINDING ME HAHA Edit: 5 months. . .never gonna let ygs down. . . Edit: 6 months guys, 6 months Edit: 7 MONTHS, I ALMOST FORGOT HELP, HAHA Edit: 8 months WOO, THIS STILL SLAPS Edit: 9 months, a child could've been birthed within this time guys :0 Edit: 10 months, almost the end of 2022 guys... Edit: happy new year fools
Hey I just wanted to say I really really love your music and am so so excited for more!! :D Also whenever I play passing through on road trips my family says “it’s the Kermit the frog guy!” I guess they think you sound like Kermit. I think you sound a bit like Ben platt though
your songs are always so touching and just..... human, if that makes sense? i'm not sure what the words to describe your work are, but it brings me joy and bittersweet comfort nonetheless anyway. cheers man. wishing you well on your journey to "better", whatever that looks like for you
bro this slaps harder than will smith straight up. I'd be totally down for you to fully publish this. btw I fricking loved "Your stupid face" it was hilarious and wholesome and also just an amazing song. Fantastic job!
Hi! I just discovered you a couple days ago from "your stupid face"! You haven't uploaded it on your channel but it has been in animatic videos and all, and I'm listening to it every day since (I'm kind of obsessed, help)! I'll make sure to check the other songs you made!
I'm the same that I was when I was seventeen I assumed I would grow, but I'm still green Still a sprout running out of time to change into more I can't claim that I wasn't in charge of my growth Was it pride, or just weakness or both?

Kaden I honestly love your music your like the person i listen too all the time but can i ask a favour do u think u can write another play because all the others great but i find them too short i understand we are one but i feel like sunshine and rainbows is a little short and i understand but i think you make one with 14 or less/more because i wanna suggest it too my high school play i think you would create a perfect one if don't wanna i understand but please and still love every single piece of music you got have a great rest of your day.
One of my favorite lyricists hands down
So true!!! 🥺
Agreed :>
100%
and so relatable.

fr bars
this is too complicated for my ass brain
BAAAAAAARS
I’ve literally been starving since “I hate auditioning for musicals”
I am well fed now.
You weren’t being fed?
I'm the same
That I was
When I was
Seventeen
I assumed
I would grow
But I'm still
Green
Still a sprout
Running out
of time to change
into more
I can't claim
That I wasn't in charge
of my growth
Was it pride or just weakness?
Or both?
Was it fair
Nothing's fair
I don't care-
Just ignore
If I wanted to be better
You'd think by now
I would be
But I am endlessly excusing
what my poor decisions
make me
Though it's not the path
I'm choosing,
I'm allowing it to take me
And it feels like a crime to act like who I'm already,
who I should I be
Though I keep it confidential
I'm essentially
Synthetic
'cause despite all my
potential.
It might never be kinetic
When is it too late?
Where's the deadline
the red line, to cross?
The Golden Opportunity's, gone
but is there dross
left behind
I can find
and use to rise off the floor
What is fate?
but the end of the road
that we're on?
Can I choose to be
king?
And not pawn?
Still as weak
Still can't move
but an improvement
from before
If I wanted to be better. You would think, by now
I would be
And even when I follow every guideline to the letter.
I'm afraid it's always
hollow
And I'm never getting
better
And it feels a crime to act
like I'm already
who I should be
But if I'm less ashamed
of my disguise than what's
inside it?
Can my inner self be blamed
For all the times it's tried
to hide it?
(Ooh)
(Ooh)

Thanks
"Despite all my potential, it might never be kinetic"
that hit me hard
He has such a powerful but smooth voice, I like it
Excited for more. Found you through RUclips music, "passing through" is really really good!
Same
Yes! passing through is amazing
Same lmao, yesterday I was looking up songs about/related to time while at work and found Passing Through. Already one of my favorite artists.
I have loved this song for years, now I'm 18 it feels weird and I still love it😭
0:26 The ultimate proof that he is literally Kermit the frog.

oh my gosh when the drums kicked in ive never felt such good storytelling in a song before
who decided that he should be this underrated
I just wanna talk to them
i almost never use this word to describe like anything else but i can't stress enough how CRIMINALLY underrated this song is. i've never heard a song that resonated with me more than this one and i'm so happy that i found it because this is in my opinion your best display of lyrical genius.
I discovered you through your brilliant song "Your Stupid Face." I was impressed by this song as well! The lyrics are really meaningful and relatable. Keep up the great work!
How has no one made an animatic of this masterpiece?

Amazing song! You're song-writing skill is really superb, a lyrical genius if I may say. I'd love to hear more of your music :D
"'cause despite all my potential, it might never be kinetic" i didn't think lyrics could get this good i'm gonna cry
This is beautiful! Your lyrics flow so well, it's poetic

This guys music makes this world a better place
I caught your live for this! aaa I love it even if it's just an assignment! im happy u posted it :>
I don't think I could find another songwriter that could more aptly put all the thoughts that race through my mind into words. These songs have been part of a larger catalyst for change in my life. I don't think I'm ready, but I'm starting to realise that I'll never be ready.

I didn't realize how new this was,holy moly
This is my favorite song and it helps me focus and just be chill
Found you recently, hope you make more music soon. You make some good stuff
I just found out about your songs, I just love it. Everything's a masterpiece. I can feel every emotion and I love that they have stories. I'm a new fan.
I listened to the other songs on your topic channel, and I loved them! I'm so glad I found your actual channel so I could listen to this gem as well
I wish this song didn't describe me so perfectly, but it's beautifully, brilliantly written, I'm glad I found it!
Bro this song should be playing on my playlist 24/7 🙏✨
Please keep making music. Found you on RUclips music and I can't get enough. You're so good and I love singing your songs. New favorite artist!
Ah! Absolutely beautiful! Such masterful writing. Love this. (love the B4 footnote too haha.)
You are going to go so far! You are my favorite artist and I hope one day more people can see your beauty! You are so talented and I hope you realize how happy each of your songs make people feel!
For something that was made with a simple guitar track and pieced together with vocals this is great!
Just recently found you in tiktok and tried to search some songs that you have in here. Got to listen to your Passing Through. Waiting for more.
You could honestly make an entire musical and it would be loved by everyone. Your music is fantasic!
ive been feeling exactly like this song lately, youve put my thoughts into lovely music. thank you!!
I want to sing this for my cabaret for my school. Can someboday please make a kareoke version. It doesn't have to be this year, just before the end of the class of 2025 in general. Please, this is my dream.
Most relatable song
Why isn’t this in Spotify? I want to add it to my playlist and listen it every day
Great song! Looking forward to what you'll make next!

Listening to this song on repeat during a breakdown🤚

I'd be totally down for you to fully publish this.

Your voice comforts me :)
as someone who enjoys banging things together to help the rest of the band stay in time, I would love the sheet music for the percussion instruments

2:08
Oof, these next two lines hit me like a fucking truck.
👏👏👏
I’m 16 and still trying to figure myself out and this song helps me a lot mentally. Thank you kind sir
How is this not in spotify? This song is so good, considering that I am still trying to be better
Hi! I just discovered you a couple days ago from "your stupid face"! You haven't uploaded it on your channel but it has been in animatic videos and all, and I'm listening to it every day since (I'm kind of obsessed, help)! I'll make sure to check the other songs you made!
This song almost made me tear up😂
Are you gonna put this one on spotify? Its really good!
MORE PLEASE
B4. I love that pun.
I'm the same that I was when I was seventeen
I assumed I would grow, but I'm still green
Still a sprout running out of time to change into more
I can't claim that I wasn't in charge of my growth
Was it pride, or just weakness or both?
Was it fair? Nothing's fair.
I don't care. just ignore
If I wanted to be better, you would think by now I would be
But I'm endlessly excusing what my poor decisions make me
Though it's not the path I'm choosing, I'm allowing it to take me
And it feels a crime to act like I'm already who I should be
Though I keep it confidential I'm essentially synthetic
'Cause despite all my potential it might never be kinetic
When is it too late? Where's the deadline, the red line to cross?
The golden opportunity's gone but is there dross?
Left behind I can find to use to rise off the floor
What is fate but the end of the road that we're on
Can I choose to be king and not pawn?
Still as weak, still can't move, but an improvement from before
If I wanted to be better, you would think by now I would be
And even when I follow every guideline to the letter,
I'm afraid its always hollow and I'm never getting better
and it feels a crime to act like I'm already who I should be
But if I'm less ashamed of my disguise than what's inside it
can my inner self be blamed for all the times its tried to hide it?
Uhhh when is this gonna be on Spotify?
Im so sad this isn't on Amazon music yet 😭
im begging you please make "another year" its own song
Can we please get this on spodify
Kaden I honestly love your music your like the person i listen too all the time but can i ask a favour do u think u can write another play because all the others great but i find them too short i understand we are one but i feel like sunshine and rainbows is a little short and i understand but i think you make one with 14 or less/more because i wanna suggest it too my high school play i think you would create a perfect one if don't wanna i understand but please and still love every single piece of music you got have a great rest of your day.
and i mean next year but if you do it dont add violin we got none of that
Is this on Spotify
0:45
Yes please
