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
Wow, we can comment...
I love you Ken, your songs are amazing.

But with your avatar, it kind of feel like yandere moment here
Almost every 2 sentences he changes to different kind of sound for the vocal, this is fucking amazing
At this point I'm convinced Ken is just an amalgamation of voices that can freely morph between them.
Ikr
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
I wish Ken made more songs like this.
I wish Ken made more songs.
no pressure tho ken take ur time
@@robbmitchell7846 these are very good recommendations, touch fluffy tail is also another recommendation

Also dunkmaster yi
Take me home
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
A muse cover would be amazing man. You've got the perfect voice for Matt Bellamy
You should totally cover a Ken Ashcorp song someday!
Liking the sound of THAT

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 UA-cam profile (which I didn't even know what a thing until I saw it on the UA-cam 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."
@@xDave how’s he doing now? Sorry, i can’t see community posts.
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.
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
the youtube recommendation box was actually useful for once

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.
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...
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
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.
Comments are back!
Love this so much. Getting massive "Citizen Erased" vibes from this, which can only ever be a good thing!
Oh hey, this is very true.
6 years later and this is still my favorite Ken song
Fuck yea
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.

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
The fact that the lyrics still fit after all that happened is astounding
what were the lyrics about at first
@@vs_richy8516 Anime? Idk
Maybe attack on titan or sum cuz of the lyrics "giants tower over bodies charred and maimed"
@@vs_richy8516 Attack on Titan.
@@itoo2522" crystal bodies hold me tight as i fall into the night" reminds me of Annie
it fits even better now
it's like a 6 year old The Rumbling
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
Is cool asf that new people are finding this old pieces of art
Thx to a butis TF2 animation
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
@@stubish5582 o lol
This music grows on you and matures like a fine wine
yeah I can't stop listening to this music
I always forget the comment sections of Ken Ashcorp's videos are immortal.
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
Love that the algorithm beings people back to his songs.
Hmm... I don't think so... People tend to comment in ken's songs, why? Idk ._.
@@sahiralvarado4651 i still comment on “touch fluffy tails” myself lol.
But yeah people due tend to do daily comments on Ken’s video’s.
@@justwantingtomakepeoplesmile What a nice community
@@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
you know a songs good when its been 8 years since its been posted and people are STILL actively listening and commenting on it
9 years now
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
i listen to a lot of ken aschorp unironically but for some reason this song completely disappeared from my brain for like 5 years until midnight on a wednesday
why midnight on a wednesday
@@blahdishma8369 no better time
Have you seen toast?
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.
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
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
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.
@@aanakk "Well, I wanna be the hunter not the hunted
I wanna be the killer not the prey " -Eren Hunter idk
"Oh yeah, this song is 5 years old, it says so right ther-" *8 Years ago.*
it says 9 for me 💀
God I love how many fucking styles you have
My heart can't take much more
Constantly repeating
Every single beat I felt before
Ain't that a mood
SURE IS
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.
im new for this.....not regret clicking that panda furry thingy
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 it's "every single time I hit that wall"
But in my mind it's ""every single time I Hit That Woah"
I swear bro
SOILED IT
SOILED IT
SOILED IT
SOILED IT
Kenny in other cover art: 😳😊
Kenny here: 😈
im pretty sure little bear is named kenny
arent they a panda and named kenny
I wanna be the hunter not the hunted
I wanna be the killer, not the prey
>Everybody liked that
True
I wish Ken Ashcorp would make more music since all his songs are such bangers
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
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
8 years later and after attack on titan has finished, this songs lyrics hold much more weight now than ever.
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.
I know that this is inspired on AoT, but the lyrics are SO Bloodborne
This is the kind of song I blast and sing and that's a rarity for me it's a beauty.
i like how im seeing people coming back to listen to these like im doing, its like we are all in sync or something.
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.
My dumass thought this was new
nope. lol
Same lol
i like Ken Ashcorp
thanks bro
We like
I think he's pretty neat.
me when Ken Ashcorp
Heloo Froug
I don't know what you're doing with your vocal chords to make you sound the way you do, but it's magical.
Tune
probably singing
why do all of this mans videos always have a super active comment section. I don't need sleep I need answers
me too, thats insane.
Algorithm, apparently.
Tiktok is to blame in my case. His stuff is popular in the weirder corners.
Your comment and this video make me think of Dua Lipa -Physical (lol).
Also, I do hope Tik Tok isnt involved. 😭
its just how the comments are sorted
Every year or two I rediscover this song and each time it's still as good as the first time I found it
What's with all the new comments on Ken ashcorps videos, UA-cam really doing god's work with these recommendations
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
the way the first "i wanna be the hunter not the hunted" just hits me, its amazing
yeah you understand it too
one of the best songs i've discovered on this quarantine
same
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.
Feels like it could be a Muse song. I love it!
I remember my brother played this song when he was playing the final level of Halo Reach, it was simply epic
Real
As someone who doesn't listen to much music these days, found myself listening to you as my main artist daily, fuckin' keep at it, man
this is the first ive seen of this artist and all the videos ive found were released years ago but got comments less than a day old which really is an odd phenomenom to find randomly
Yeah :V
i listen him at Soundcloud too, but i ever check the comments of his musics here. Its unbeliaveble having so many new comments everyday at here, and from people who listened and watched it so many times other days.
All the comment sections of ken ashcorp are always this active, it's a nice place to talk
Welcome to the asylum!
Got to keep the comments flowing, ya know?
can i pretend that this song aint about attack on titan and rather the lack of control we have in life or something along those lines
That's the beauty of Music. You can interpret it anyway you want.
Isn’t that the point of attack on titan though
All of Ken's music is double purpose. Thats the art in it.
how does this person not have millions of subs?
Despite the astounding quality of his songs, he updates infrequently. On UA-cam, that means low subscribers. Even legends like FlashGitz only have 1 million, and yet each of their videos hits 10mil+ each time.
oh
Came across this song on Spotify Discover, had no idea it was Ken Ashcorp.
Could have sworn I tasted bits of early Muse from their Origin of Symmetry and Absolution days from the midpoint onwards (2:57 and 4:00 in particular).
Crazy good stuff!!!
Oh dang, you're right. It does resemble Muse a little bit.
Oh hell yeah
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)
hello folks i would like you to know that i was browsing the internet while listening to this banger and happened upon kenny r34 by complete chance
by complete chance eh? Nothing to do with the fact that the algorithm knows you like ken ashcorp music?
By complete chance ok... ok
Yeah, “by chance” I definitely believe it.
Most replayed? boi I play the entire song
time to replay a goofy part of the song, if i can find it.
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 has such an early 2000s vibe. I love it.
Same its so good
This songs fill me with the highs and lows of a firefight. Battlefield meditation man, gives me flashbacks. Rock on young man.
They weren't exaggerating when they say there's new comments every day under Ashcorp songs
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
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!"
Apparently, Ken Ashcorp's comment sections live because it's automatically set to newest, and I really want to know why more videos don't do this
most people on yt starve for some upvotes, and then, when you get to any video most comments are memes, jokes and people forcing the hell out of a gag.
Setting to ''new comments'' breathes some community interaction and give a way more fresh vibe to Ken's videos
@@henriqueww5175 agreed
I was wondering why the "top comment" was only 3 says old. This is awesome that it's automatically set to newest first
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
@@bastion5686 I mean... It is bro
Does bro ever miss when it comes to his songs?
No
This thing should be the opening of a series or something, its so cool!!!
Yes. That was what I was thinking.
damn still more new people?
thanks for keeping this song alive :DDDD
I literally just discovered this guy and I'm binging all of the songs
@@Cynic370 apparently it's this one TF2 animated video (very high quality btw) that blew up and it's intro used absolute territory.
:D
Well youtube hides all the good shit from you till 3am 5 years from when it was released
I just knew ken because a few weeks ago "absolute territory" just poped in my youtube, and then i think, "oh, looks cool, lets see whats about" and then here i am, addicted to ken's songs!!
This is awesome, and I don't even like Attack on Titan.
It is about AOT. If you think about the theme of the anime and the lyrics of the song.
Pretty much none of Ken's songs are ever directly ABOUT a specific series or character or trope, but there's generally some kind of connection. Absolute Territory isn't about Evangelion (but the whole metaphor of the song is a play of word on the whole Zettai Ryōiki/AT field concept). Even 20% Cooler, despite being really rooted in My Little Pony, stands quite well as simply a silly club song.
The song isn't specifically about Attack on Titan, but the themes and the choice of wording clearly reference it.
Oh that was just my opinion, I doubt I was clearing up anything ! but I guess we are on the same page there, so... :3
I don't think "liable" means what you think it means.
It's almost always used with a preposition after it, like 'liable to fall.' Yeah, that's what it means, but it's syntactically incorrect.
why titan looks like he is in euphoria?
Brain releases everything sometimes right before certain death
He can hear the song.
Assuming they have a similar anatomy to humans he probably has copious amounts of adrenaline pumping in his veins in order to stay alive it can have that kind of effect on people
thats just how most titans always are
today, 7 years ago.
Still a fucking banger
itll always be a banger
why the fuck are Kens' comment sections always active lmfao? Every time i come back to any of his songs there are always new people...
DEDICATION!
It probably helps that all of his videos' comments section are set to Newest First by default.
BlueCoral I mean, yeah thats a good point
in this picture "titans" are just normal sized humans lol
she'sa panda not a rat
@@gabrielgamerultra a really tiny one though
I like how we can now comment to this and tell you how awesome this song is. :D
Muse - Uprising Vibes.
100% Love
i know this is meant to be based off of AOT but the lyrics are too relatable 💀
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.
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_*

i refuse to B E L I V E
currently obssessed with this one
It does go hard tbh.

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.
Ashcorp this is my favorite song from you.
Discovered Ken on Spotify recently and this shit is great
Same here actually; spotify is really on point these days with the mixes.
same here, that's cool as fuck ! :D
