The urge to leave behind a legacy, tearing at yourself until you crumble only to be reminded that you are worth enjoying today. That no legacy can make up for the peace of enjoying the moment. I like it. Edit: I've actually come back to this after like a year and responding to some replies to a new realisation. That a lot of the video does generally drive the point that one's sacrifices are worth it in the end. After all, the statue does give back in the end. In that way, it's a message of perseverance when all you efforts seem to be for naught. I like this one too.
This kind of reminds me of the moral of the musical Hamilton the main character of the show had a obsession over legacy and well let's say that obsession led to his downfall and he realizes near the end of his death that what really mattered was being present with the people he cared about
What I saw was basically you putting your efforts into this fake persona of yourself (doing your daily tasks and living out life) that you can’t keep up with and it crumbles away at your being. In the end you were always enough and just as good as the image you were trying to be and you can do anything you want to
Lyrics: Like a hand reaching for a handle But to find that it was never there Candidly I can't handle knowing That it's all up in the air I thought the world ended in March Until I heard the doorbell ring Can't keep from falling apart But I'll glue back everything again This can't be the end This can't be the end This can't be the end This can't be the end Of all that summer had to say What little time has gone away I'll glue it all back anyway I'll glue it all back anyway Like the wing of a sparrow or a plane Drops down a couple feet again To catch the wind that still remains But I'm left breathless anyway I thought the world ended in March Until I heard the doorbell ring Just me here standing in the dark But I'll light up everything again This can't be the end This can't be the end This can't be the end This can't be the end of all that summer had to say What little time has gone away I'll glue it all back anyway I'll glue it all back anyway (I'll glue it all back anyway) (I'll glue it all back anyway) (I'll glue it all back anyway) I'll glue it all back anyway This can't be the end This can't be the end This can't be the end This can't be the end of all that summer had to say (This can't be the end) What little time has gone away (This can't be the end) I'll glue it all back anyway (This can't be the end) I'll glue it all back anyway
The diversity of interpretations in this video is what renders art truly captivating and enriching. To me, it's about our perpetual pursuit of an idealized self, driven by a sense of inadequacy or imperfection. We often embark on a journey to mold ourselves into this flawless image we've concocted, sometimes at the expense of our values, beliefs, and even our very essence. This relentless quest can feel stifling, leaving us yearning for transformation and occasionally seeking in desperate need of external assistance in our pursuit of self-improvement. Yet, amidst this, embracing our authentic selves is paramount. Rather than striving to embody an idealized persona, we must come to terms with our true identity and nurture a genuine acceptance of who we are.
Dang that was such a cool animation. My personal interpretation is its about how draining creative works can be, you truly put your heart and soul into it, and sometimes it feels like it just crumbles apart regardless. But in the end your creation is a part of you and the journey's worth it :)
That's a cool interpretation! For me, I felt it was about trying to change yourself because you hate you you've become, destroying yourself, only to find that the person you're making is still you. And that you deserve to be loved, not destroyed. I like your interpretation too :)
This is probably the most reasonable interpretation in my eyes, I just don't understand the whole depression or creating fake personas of yourself idea. Kid seemed pretty happy outside the fear of his imminent demise, seems he just wants to create something to continue his legacy not dissimilar to a parent raising a child. Or perhaps it is just as straightforward as a wax boy making another wax boy to continue his strange magical existence.
My interpretation of this is that You can give all of yourself to fix something , or to repair someone, you can run yourself ragged and even be completely selfless but in the end nothing is owed to you they may give a simple thank you and disappear. And only when all of the hard work you do is for you do you truly become whole.
Only good interpretation on here that isn't acoustic and about some project or art or some superficial BS like leaving a legacy. It's very similar to the official meaning Good Kid showed in their short too.
@@Ultrabot5964 It'll get better, the pain will always be there in a way, but you use that pain and turn it into something good and love for yourself. I've been in an 8 year, 4 year, and 6 month relationship. I loved all three of them, and it hurt like hell turning my back on all three of them, even when I didn't make the decision to end it, but I know my value now and I hold the door open for people who don't want to be in my life. You'll get there my friend.
The way Nomu kid just finds himself again and melts with his clay version is just such an interesting concept. Feels like that was the point all along.
It's inspired from Steven Universe (search for "Steven Universe merges with himself" on UA-cam), it's my favorite scene of all the show, and now it's used in this music video.
I saw this as always giving and never receiving. You may not realize or see its effects in the beginning, but as you give away more and more, and you realize what you’ve done, but you’re in too deep to get back out. But all you needed was to actually receive something in return for all you’ve done. This is how the song connected with me, I loved reading everyone else’s interpretations :).
Bro hearing this after Akira Toriyamas passing is making me sob the “this can’t be the end” line is truly hitting rn. Ik that isn’t the point of the song but it makes coping with his loss a lot easier
Watching this music video has really resonated with me as a cancer survivor. I didn't know whether I was going to live or die since it felt like my body was falling apart at times. My life may have temporarily fallen into pieces, but I tried to pick up the pieces I could reconstruct. Similar to the clay structure constructed by the boy, I felt like I fused with the clay structure after beating cancer and recreated a slightly newer, improved version of myself after falling so far. What a beautiful piece of art. You guys should be proud.
im a fellow cancer survivor, although i had it when i was quite young, so i dont remember much. good job on not falling apart, and i wish you luck on future endeavors.
Congratulations on beating Cancer. (It took me a moment of just thinking ‘How can you change your Zodiac sign…’ to realize what you meant.) I may not know you but I’m very happy you’re alive and hopefully are doing well!
How I interpret this song is like how you tear yourself apart to try and fix flaws about yourself and only end up hurting yourself more and how you should just accept your flaws anyways. Genuinely a beautiful song and I’m so happy I came across it.
What I think the moral of the song is that for you to truly be whole, you don’t need to break yourself apart and make a completely new you with only some elements still there but the real you being gone and fading. But in the end, he is embracing himself and also adding that other part of him for him to have the ability to change. That way, he is truly whole. Thats my interpretation.
2:00 I can't believe I genuinely started crying. The music and the animation together just tore me apart. Giving so much of yourself away for something that they cared about, for it all to finally be given back with a love that saved them. I'd formulate my thoughts better, but there's just too many tears in my eyes right now. Amazing Animation and Amazing Song
i understood this in another way as it relates to me more the boy felt like he's not gonna reach what he desires so he worked harder and started tearing apart in the process he nearly lost himself to the idea of reaching his goal that he didnt think of himself and kept on pushing but in the end when all hope was lost all his hard work came back to reward him with that beautiful sunset.
Wow the animation really puts into perspective of what some people are going through wether it’s a sickness or depression. It’s takes depression into a sense of not really being yourself and constantly trying to patch up different aspects of yourself with things you wouldn’t call yourself. That’s something that really hits home with me and I appreciate the value of everything that went into this song.
I love the story this told so much! My personal interpretation was how destructive and self-detrimental tearing yourself apart or changing who you are for someone else can be. It feels like no matter how much of yourself you take and rip out to try and mend the friendship or relationship new cracks still form and things fall apart. It makes you feel empty, like you're falling apart and slowly slipping into a deep sea of despair with each piece of yourself you give up to try to keep them. In the end letting that toxic friendship/relationship go and accepting yourself for who you is how you heal those cracks and wounds you inflicted on yourself trying to change and tear yourself apart for that person. It's something I and most people in this world struggle with and I think this animated music video along with the lyrics paints the fact beautifully. To anyone reading this: know you are loved and cared for. You are genuinely beautiful just the way you are. Never change yourself or tear yourself apart just to keep someone else. Stay true to yourself because that's when you shine the most.
I am late to seeing this song and post but you deserve a medal or something your post made me genuinely cry a little cause it’s something so easy to hear said but not explained ever. Seeing someone with the same perspective as me really helps me see I am truly not alone with my mental issues. Thank you to you and your kind words and to all in these comments.
Spoilers for this comment Never expect a story about a wax kid trying to give a life he never had before he dies, but in the end, they fused together to give him another time to enjoy life. It's really a wholesome story, in my opinion. Good job, guys Edit: go to the comments theres a better explanation.
To me it feels like he was trying to hide his worries and problems (symbolized by the cracks on his body) and create a perfect version of himself, that can be happy, but by doing so he doesn't actually gain any real happiness and just keeps sacrificing himself. (symbolized by giving more and more of himself to the replica) In the end he realizes that he can't hold onto that facade and begins to regain the energy keeping up the facade. As a little touch at the end, he begins to heal by properly dealing with his feelings. (symbolized by the tear)
The desire to make something that you’ll be proud of but slowly ripping yourself apart piece by piece has happened to me a lot. The last 2 years I was tearing myself apart because I was learning to produce and write music and I was failing until I accepted that I’m not going to immediately succeed but it’s a long and drawn out process which takes time. Your music has helped me with all of that and I greatly thank you. 🙂
love the attention to detail that when half of nomu kid's face melts off the music video reflects that by having us only be able to see from the eye thats open as well as when he becomes whole he gets both eyes and therefore full vision. KEEP IT UP!
Makes me nostalgic for the times in High school when I was just shooting the shit with my best friends. Ever since the pandemic, we graduated online and went our separate ways to different universities and colleges. We still keep in touch, but I miss those insane Summers where we hung out every day for weeks on end.
Good Kid has been my most played artist on Spotify the last couple of weeks when i've been at my lowest, i'm so happy there are artists out there like Good Kid i'm so glad to see more amazing songs being produced much love from Sweden
Don't strive to make yourself perfect but instead learn to love yourself and who you are in life (which will make your flaws less pronounced and heal your wounds). That's what I got from the music video, great work from all involved!
Yoo, you should try "Eve" "Kenshin Yonezu" "Natori" and in general Japanese Artists. I feel like Good Kid it's J-pop but Americanized xD. I love it cuz it's something that I can show to my friends without hearing "I don't understand a word" 😮💨
As someone who’s been suicidal recently, the whole “this cant be the end” really speaks to me. I cant just end my life so soon. This cant be the end of my life, thank you for making me see that in a way
This about to premiere in about half an hour when I'm commenting, and I can't believe Xray alpha charlie is doing another animation for Good Kid. I already know this is going to be a banger! After the premiere: This was a amazing song! A cool thing I noticed at 1:39 was the witch hat, the crown, and what I believe is the Mimi's delivery service robots in the corner, they all remind me of past Good Kid's songs.
When we notice we're falling apart, we try to construct a perfect version of ourselves that isn't, but in the pursuit we tear apart who we really are. The only way to heal is to accept our imperfections rather than deny them. Only then do the imperfections stop tearing us apart.
My favorite band by far, I can’t say there’s one song I think is “bad” and the vast majority id consider great. Please keep continuing to make incredible songs like this one ❤❤
First bubbly was my new fav from them and then they released this one. I love how many interpretations people are making and personally this is the most upbeat sounding song that's made me cry. They're really popping off right now 🔥🔥🔥
This really got me tearing up! What a beautiful animation to match an EPIC song!! There's many ways you could interpret the story i feel like, but all lead to the conclusion of inner peace. CERTIFIED BANGER 🔥
This may or may not be seen but here's my interpretation of it; Of course, it follows Nomu attempting to recreate himself to continue 'living', or continue his legacy. Yet, being that Nomu is visibly made of clay and is easy to tear I think it represents acceptance and the breaking of a cycle. It's likely he's a recreation of himself as well, and as he starts to crack (just like clay would), he tears himself apart to rebuild a new him as the 'him''s before did. And now, instead of making the new him a replacement, he finds healing.
Bro started to become his own self fulfilling prophecy. He was so afraid of cracking and falling apart that he ended up tearing himself to pieces. SO BEAUTIFULLY DONE! I love the idea of using animation for your music video this was so super well done and creative!
Love your shorts as always, and a soul touching animation about self sacrifice, idolization, and forgetting to take care of ourselves as we rip ourselves apart to try and cling on to the past!
As someone with severe hypochondria , who makes art, this spoke to me. The constant putting yourself into your legacy , the panic of it being the end, and you havent left anything to properly tell others how youve felt. The 100% readiness to kill yourtself for your craft, the urge to create and put this strawman version of you into situation youd never be able to enjoy again. What makes it frustrating is the ending is the truth, once I except myself and move on , I can be whole.
Creating a split persona of yourself, to give life to that said persona only, to the point where you tear yourself to patch it up, until the day you embrace yourself for who you truly is
It can feel like you tear yourself apart when in pursuit of your passion. Myself for the product. But when that product is finished it becomes one with you and when you’re rebuilt like that you will elevate beyond your expectations.
To anyone thinking “Gosh I wish these people got more attention” don’t worry on Spotify they have 2 Million followers, they’re getting the attention they deserve
You know, I keep coming back to this song. And I love it. It’s ironic because I remember when this song came out. And then I showed my partner this song. She didn’t really seem all that amused but I was thrilled. Well, she ended up leaving me back in March and made me think I was to blame. So my world fell apart in March, I tore myself to pieces, trying to rearrange them in the name of love, but in the end it was for naught. And I wasn’t the reason. I lost a piece of myself that day that I’ve been trying to glue back ever sense. But this song makes it feel like that piece is found again. Even if it’s for a moment
Destroying yourself to make a seemingly perfect image of yourself then realizing the only person who can save you from that is your self 10/10 song reminds me of Adventure Time animation.

Lyrics:
Like a hand reaching for a handle
But to find that it was never there
Candidly I can't handle knowing
That it's all up in the air
I thought the world ended in March
Until I heard the doorbell ring
Can't keep from falling apart
But I'll glue back everything again
This can't be the end
This can't be the end
This can't be the end
This can't be the end
Of all that summer had to say
What little time has gone away
I'll glue it all back anyway
I'll glue it all back anyway
Like the wing of a sparrow or a plane
Drops down a couple feet again
To catch the wind that still remains
But I'm left breathless anyway
I thought the world ended in March
Until I heard the doorbell ring
Just me here standing in the dark
But I'll light up everything again
This can't be the end
This can't be the end
This can't be the end
This can't be the end of all that summer had to say
What little time has gone away
I'll glue it all back anyway
I'll glue it all back anyway
(I'll glue it all back anyway)
(I'll glue it all back anyway)
(I'll glue it all back anyway)
I'll glue it all back anyway
This can't be the end
This can't be the end
This can't be the end
This can't be the end of all that summer had to say (This can't be the end)
What little time has gone away (This can't be the end)
I'll glue it all back anyway (This can't be the end)
I'll glue it all back anyway

The last 2 years I was tearing myself apart because I was learning to produce and write music and I was failing until I accepted that I’m not going to immediately succeed but it’s a long and drawn out process which takes time. Your music has helped me with all of that and I greatly thank you. 🙂
I LOVE THE ANIMATION STYLE OMG
XrayAlphaCharlie is an amazing animator. I highly recommend checking out their channel
OMG i just noticed that the big wrench from MDS is in the backround 0:21
True very true
Whats MDS
@@GarbageGuyAtGames Mimi's Delivery Service. It's also on her badge in the MDS music video
love the attention to detail that when half of nomu kid's face melts off the music video reflects that by having us only be able to see from the eye thats open as well as when he becomes whole he gets both eyes and therefore full vision. KEEP IT UP!
I freaking love the animation. I’d honestly pay to see a full film/tv show in this art style. The song slaps as well, but that goes without saying :p
Makes me nostalgic for the times in High school when I was just shooting the shit with my best friends. Ever since the pandemic, we graduated online and went our separate ways to different universities and colleges. We still keep in touch, but I miss those insane Summers where we hung out every day for weeks on end.
Good Kid has been my most played artist on Spotify the last couple of weeks when
i've been at my lowest, i'm so happy there are artists out there like Good Kid
i'm so glad to see more amazing songs being produced
much love from Sweden
I was upset, listened to this song and automatically felt better, love this song now. ☺☺☺
Don't strive to make yourself perfect but instead learn to love yourself and who you are in life (which will make your flaws less pronounced and heal your wounds). That's what I got from the music video, great work from all involved!
A summer song to help winter depression! 🔥
I bet I'll be listening to this all summer!
I'm so happy having discovered this one of a kind band
Yoo, you should try "Eve" "Kenshin Yonezu" "Natori" and in general Japanese Artists.
I feel like Good Kid it's J-pop but Americanized xD. I love it cuz it's something that I can show to my friends without hearing "I don't understand a word" 😮💨

Eveeee❤
Once again, a music video has brought me to tears.
As someone who’s been suicidal recently, the whole “this cant be the end” really speaks to me. I cant just end my life so soon. This cant be the end of my life, thank you for making me see that in a way
staying up till 12 AM on a school night was totally worth it! Love you guys and your music
This about to premiere in about half an hour when I'm commenting, and I can't believe Xray alpha charlie is doing another animation for Good Kid. I already know this is going to be a banger!
After the premiere: This was a amazing song! A cool thing I noticed at 1:39 was the witch hat, the crown, and what I believe is the Mimi's delivery service robots in the corner, they all remind me of past Good Kid's songs.
The feels are so strong with this one and the animation art style is so cute. Beautiful work.
This was an amazing song with great visuals to go along with it, it’s cool that xrayalphacharlie was the one who animated this.
When we notice we're falling apart, we try to construct a perfect version of ourselves that isn't, but in the pursuit we tear apart who we really are. The only way to heal is to accept our imperfections rather than deny them. Only then do the imperfections stop tearing us apart.
My favorite band by far, I can’t say there’s one song I think is “bad” and the vast majority id consider great. Please keep continuing to make incredible songs like this one ❤❤
First bubbly was my new fav from them and then they released this one. I love how many interpretations people are making and personally this is the most upbeat sounding song that's made me cry. They're really popping off right now 🔥🔥🔥
i can't get over how well made these are. fantastic animation and storytelling!
You have the power to be the best version of yourself through dedication and self love
i love this ! theres are the reasons
1. the boy loooks like finn from adventure time
2. fits for a chill vibe
3. so smooth animations
This made me tear up, the emotion in the animation is so good! Music is perfect as always
Such a cute animation style. Really well done!
This was absolutely beautiful. The art, the story, the music, everything is perfect. 12/10
Amazing job to alpha.charlie
All the songs are so alike that they make you want to listen to them all.
Something about this song is just hopeful, especially what happened yesterday, because this CAN'T be the end
Im inexplicably excited for this song!
Summer and childhood go hand in hand dude⚡️💚 I wish neither would end, but there's always another summer, and we can always be kids deep down
I like this comment

That was so emotional and symbolic I love animated music videos like this ❤
This really got me tearing up! What a beautiful animation to match an EPIC song!! There's many ways you could interpret the story i feel like, but all lead to the conclusion of inner peace. CERTIFIED BANGER 🔥
I CANT STOP WATCHINX
This is an absolute banger. Listening to it in the beginning of fall will be a transcendent experience.
That ending made me tear up holy hell. Such a lovely song and animation
The drain of putting yourself in your art can be taxing but worth it in the end
HECK YEAHH!!! IM SO EXCITED
"This cant be the end..." wow, it really resonates. Love this song.

@@cojecTHANK YOU RANDOM PERSON FRIEND!!!!!
Happy birthday stranger
(Bro really got a good kid song and a new fortnite season for birthday presents 🗣️🔥)
@@xero1152 It's still not my birthday, but thanks!
@@CedarpawAnimations it's been 4 hours, is it your bday now?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!
I shed a tear, I'm not afraid to say it
This may or may not be seen but here's my interpretation of it;
Of course, it follows Nomu attempting to recreate himself to continue 'living', or continue his legacy. Yet, being that Nomu is visibly made of clay and is easy to tear I think it represents acceptance and the breaking of a cycle. It's likely he's a recreation of himself as well, and as he starts to crack (just like clay would), he tears himself apart to rebuild a new him as the 'him''s before did. And now, instead of making the new him a replacement, he finds healing.
Bro started to become his own self fulfilling prophecy. He was so afraid of cracking and falling apart that he ended up tearing himself to pieces. SO BEAUTIFULLY DONE! I love the idea of using animation for your music video this was so super well done and creative!
Love your shorts as always, and a soul touching animation about self sacrifice, idolization, and forgetting to take care of ourselves as we rip ourselves apart to try and cling on to the past!
As someone with severe hypochondria , who makes art, this spoke to me. The constant putting yourself into your legacy , the panic of it being the end, and you havent left anything to properly tell others how youve felt. The 100% readiness to kill yourtself for your craft, the urge to create and put this strawman version of you into situation youd never be able to enjoy again. What makes it frustrating is the ending is the truth, once I except myself and move on , I can be whole.
the ending reminds me of steven fusing back with his gem part
I thought the exact same thing.
It kinda sound familiar like tek it 0:14
true
Which song are you talking about?
Omg that's why I like it sm
Creating a split persona of yourself, to give life to that said persona only, to the point where you tear yourself to patch it up,
until the day you embrace yourself for who you truly is
It can feel like you tear yourself apart when in pursuit of your passion. Myself for the product. But when that product is finished it becomes one with you and when you’re rebuilt like that you will elevate beyond your expectations.
To anyone thinking “Gosh I wish these people got more attention” don’t worry on Spotify they have 2 Million followers, they’re getting the attention they deserve
You know, I keep coming back to this song. And I love it. It’s ironic because I remember when this song came out. And then I showed my partner this song. She didn’t really seem all that amused but I was thrilled. Well, she ended up leaving me back in March and made me think I was to blame. So my world fell apart in March, I tore myself to pieces, trying to rearrange them in the name of love, but in the end it was for naught. And I wasn’t the reason. I lost a piece of myself that day that I’ve been trying to glue back ever sense. But this song makes it feel like that piece is found again. Even if it’s for a moment
well it's summer now.
Great video keep it up good kid!!!
I almost cried- this is such a good song and animation. I’m so proud of you and you are very talented. Keep up the good work!❤
Destroying yourself to make a seemingly perfect image of yourself then realizing the only person who can save you from that is your self 10/10 song reminds me of Adventure Time animation.
notice how both of their hands are broken in some way on this scene 1:01
Really great song and animation! Love your style, greetings from Mexico😄
I'm crying lord have mercy
