Ken Ashcorp - Shut Up And Trust This

A combination of the final two lines of Disgaea 2, Shut Up And Trust This is also a combination of two points of view and two different voices. I guess you might say that this song holds a lot of weight to myself! TWO!

Lyrics
----------
Moving forward directionally
Meant to be taking strides in our lives intellectually
Infecting me with a cure that I was never meant to see
(Ooooo)

I'll make you feel better
Yeah I'll make you feel sane
There's a second voice inside my head it tells me

(Yeah)
Shut up and trust this
I wanna go
I wanna know
I wanna show you something better than before
So shut up and trust this
Oh I can't take it any more

I'm like a crimson flame
Maybe if I try then I can spark and ignite her
Yeah when I called, you came
You twisted the thorn but you made me brighter
(Ohhh)

I'll make you feel better
Yeah I'll make you feel sane
There's a second voice inside my head it tells me

(Yeah)
Shut up and trust this
I wanna go
I wanna know
I wanna show you something better than before
So shut up and trust this
Oh I can't take it any more

We level like an RPG
We're magnitude 10, you're magnitude 3.3
If it ain't broke, don't fix it
I'm so conflicted and you're so restricted

Listen, listen, listen
To the sound of my voice
And drown out all the pain
Yeah, it's okay to cry I wonder why I feel the same

I'm like a crimson flame
Maybe if I try then I can spark and ignite her
But she feels bruised and maimed
Maybe she's not listening to the voice inside her
(Ohhh)

I'll make you feel better
Yeah I'll make you feel sane
There's a second voice inside my head it tells me

Yeah
I wanna go
I wanna know
I wanna show you something better than before
So shut up and trust this

Yeah
I wanna go
I wanna know
I wanna show you something better than before
So shut up and trust this
Oh I can't take it any more

Love the song. And particularly the art on this one too - it fits and it's absolutely gorgeous.

[J.Skyler]

I was a dumbass in my late teens when I discovered this. Now I’m a dumbass almost in my mid-twenties. Thanks for making the journey bearable, Ken.

You know what I appreciate about Ken? He's tried so many different kinds of music, but he always brings them back to a core 'Ken Ashcorp' feel. He's great at what he's doing, and only getting better.

[LilPurpleOwl]

In 2024. This is a pretty song! I heard the full version when Vivziepop made a speedpaint video of your oc! She did a good job drawing it and you did a good job making this song. It's so beautiful. Thank you, AshCorp🩶

10 years now... holy fuck I feel old...

I remember wanting more songs from Ken at the time since there were too few to listen to. Hasn't change much but these are still good to listen to.

[InTheDemonsWake]

Still my favourite Ken song after all these years, holds a special place in my heart.

[kylefreeburg]

I love the feel all your songs have, it makes me feel like I actually have a gf

[alumugii]

I saw this song on a flipnote and I decided to search it up again because I recognized it.
And oh God, what a trip down memory lane.
I remember just singing this song to myself, all the time. It was amazing.
Thank you.

[CairCait]

Forsome reason... I just can't stop listening to these songs... they're wierdly addictive...

[VeggieTheEdgy]

I didn't expect to see disgaea here of all places, but I'm actually more grateful for this amazingly well written song

[Chillbot]

Hard to think how 10 years seemed to just fly by. Seemed slow in the moment but then here we are.

[killobot]

same artist, different feel. its the same with every song. Your music is amazing and the lyrics are always so poetic and meaningful!

[kisui_ichinose]

I remember stumbling upon this when I was in middle school and I honestly fell in love with Ken's voice and the art on the videos like they were just so memorizing and just so angelic. I love you ken keep up the good work!!

[ordg]

I discovered this song about 8-9 years ago and to this day it’s still one of the greatest songs I’ve ever heard

[akumashift]

Why does every video of Ken Ashcorp have a comment war about his or the panda's gender?

[youtubezombies]

its adorable how the portraits look at each other's minis <3

[raijinarthur]

It's been 8 years and it's still good.

[squee-meew]

I miss 6th grade and listening to this. This was the first song I heard by Ken and it holds so many memories. Thank you ken for your amazing music!

[krymasuru]

1:22 is still my favorite section
the self-harmonizing(?)
then the little "oo-oo-oo-ooooh" at 1:41 is such an amazing subtle touch

[TheSpyder]

The layering of the vocals in this song. I feel it in my bloody *soul*
