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

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 b

    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.
  • 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.
  • 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
  • @saigesmart4167
    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 :)

    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.
  • @user-ow3fy4zi7l
    the ending reminds me of steven fusing back with his gem part
  • @Mental-Cats4life
    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 :).

    "playlist updated" 🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥
  • 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
  • @The_Octo_Guy
    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
  • @Ckasic783
    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. 🙂

    “premieres at 11:59pm” we not makin’ it to school with this one 🔥 🔥 update: I did in fact not make it to school with this one🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
  • @jemzxl1561
    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.

    Xray alpha charlie is such an incredible animator, can't wait to see the MV (and the song, of course)!!
  • @greenkarma2716
    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.
