Ken Ashcorp - Not One Less

iTunes + Spotify soon

The year is 2062. We are husks, a remnant of humanity. Do not let them censor the information surrounding the 2030 Beilan Island incident. You are in charge, commander.

Lyrics:
--------------------------------------
City streets and tourniquets
Puppet strings and marionettes
Humanity pays an iron debt
Democracy erodes and in the end you know it's a state run red

Blind me to your cruelty
All your money can't compare

You tell me that my home is not my home
Well I'll sacrifice myself down to the bone
Are we dolls or do we have will of our own?
Do we know who's in control?

Not one less, not one less
My right eye for my protest
Not one less, not one less
Can't suppress what you oppress

Blood across the sky
All for asking why
I am not afraid to die
I'm afraid to live in a world constructed on your lie

Blind me to your cruelty
All your power can't compare

Tell me that my home is not my home
Well I'll sacrifice myself down to the bone
Are we dolls or do we have will of our own?
Do we know who's in control?

Not one less, not one less
My right eye for my protest
Not one less, not one less
Can't suppress what you oppress

They push me down into the dirt
Twist the screw in, make it hurt
Breathing gas and gasoline
I will never be a part of your regime
So I'll push myself through tears
Fly my flag through all my fears
Not one less is what I scream
I will never be a part of your regime

I'm a machine
Left out in the cold
A nuclear winter fuels my soul
I'm a machine
Left out in the cold
A nuclear winter fuels my soul

[KenAshcorp]

And before you ask, yes I oathed Vector, ZAS M21, Springfield, AUG, M1887, K11, and UMP9.
I'm a good SKK.

"I am not afraid to die... I'm afraid to live in a world constructed on your lie" is probably the hardest lyric in this song.

[jimllc]

I like how a few people are like "this isn't political" but Ken's got the Hong Kong flower in his name on Twitter.

[LWolf]

It's kind of amusing, one of the better protest songs of our era, comes from a guy with a cute Furry Panda avatar doing a parody song about a App Waifu game.

[firehearto]

>Morning sucks
>Gets Ken Ashcorp notification
>Morning is now great

[tulwoxr]

hard to believe this song is almost a year old. it’s aged like a fine wine, for better or worse.

[ABonafideSkeleton]

>song is obviously based on the Hong Kong crisis with a Girls Frontline theme
>"it's about WWIII!"

Come on guys, the song is called "Not One Less", Kenny is missing her right eye and the lyrics literally mention "democracy eroding" and the "state turning red."
How many more clues do you need?

[sjreads]

Didn't think this would become the theme song of the next decade but here we are.

[OMGITZRUFFLZ]

How does Kenny find herself in these situations

[PMSeymour]

This song. Fucking slaps.
Great stuff Ken~

[thepikazapper]

Nobody’s talking about how it’s ken’s birthday like damn, he gave *US* a gift

[magesticcrab]

So she is a panda, fights in wars and battles, gets layed 24/7, and possibly gets free burgers.

[GameOfGubbs]

Ken's music just gets more metal as the clock marches closer to 12... Still a fuckin bomb ass song though

[epikreaper]

i like how he goes from “Tickle my fancy, tickle my Prostat!” to “I AM NOT AFRAID TO DIE! I’m afraid to live in a world built on your lies.” range is incredible

[Cards]

Girls' Frontline has always had many unexpected crossovers but this one just bent me over and went in dry.

[Askaarr]

I love how Ken goes from “A girl’s status is measured by her denier” to words of resistance and uprising. Bro is the next generation Muse imo, and I love it.

[eios]

Man.. This song is 3 years old now? I miss these bangers. Hoping you make more music whenever you get back into it!

[williamkim]

While this song nods to other events in real life, it is based on the lore of Girls Frontline. Beilan Island is the site where a major accident occured that wiped a large majority of humans off the face of the Earth. In the game Girls Frontline, you play as a commander of a private military contractor that uses humanoid androids known as T-Dolls or tactical dolls. Each are repurposed civilian use androids, (because of funding restraints and because of low manpower due to the catastrophe), and are named after the gun they use. Currently, in the story, we were backstabbed and framed by the Military and forced to go rogue and state media portrays us as dangerous terrorists. We as a private military contractor have WAY less weaponry and technology compared to the Military and often we are forced to escape, or use underhanded tactics just try to survive. We are the clear underdogs. This song perfectly describes the story so far in GFL.

Every time Ken releases a new song:

"Mm... This ain't as good as I expected."

Days after release:

"Imma put this on repeat."

Is this just me? How Ken's songs just gets better the more you listen to it? Is this some sort of effect?

[roachtoxic]

I love the way the song conveys the situation in Hong Kong all the while maintaining a theme of Girls Frontline
