Above is the link to the song, K21, or you can click on the gif.
WARNING:
SPOILERS AHEAD IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHO KENNY IS OR IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN SEASON 3.
I will be going through the lyrics to Kenny’s theme song and will be mentioning things that happen in the show.
I have not seen season 2 or 3 yet, they do not have it on Netflix here in England, but I have seen videos and I know of Kenny’s story ark in the show. As a result, I do not know the names of Kenny’s squad.
K21
Kenny’s theme.
The theme fits his character and storyline/story ark in 進撃の巨人.
It might be the only rap song in the show, which adds to making it more distinctive when you hear it. You know Kenny is near by when it stars playing.
Like the scene in season 3 episode 7. Were Levi’s team vs Kenny’s squad are fighting in the cave, you do not see Kenny right away.
The music is subtly starting when Kenny is taunting Levi, who is hiding behind the pillar and really kicks in when Mikasa has the blond lady at a stalemate and they must withdraw.
I am getting the lyrics for this song from Attack on Titan Wiki.
Here is the link. K21 | Attack on Titan Wiki | Fandom
Spilled guts and glory
Urban Legend, I am that story
• He was an urban legend, ‘Kenny The Ripper’.
It's the killer killers captain
• His squad are trained to kill people.
MP Anti-Personnel Control
• This is the name the MP’s gave Kenny and his squad as a cover so they could go after Levi and his team while the MP’s arrested the Survey Corps.
And I'm out of your control
I just do what I know
Do it Better than anyone I know
• Must survive in the Underground, you must kill to live and growing up with that as his mindset and in the environment of the Underground.
• He became incredibly good at it and better than other killers.
Let my body count speak for me
• He was rumoured to have killed over 100 military soldiers before the MP’s used he to their advantage and try and kill Levi and his team while they were on the run and hiding in the forest.
I see where puzzle pieces fit
And got the ear of royalty
From a royal bloodline
• The Ackerman’s were the king’s guard for many years, and they are the subjects of titan experiments
Strong as identity
Underground survivor
• He is from the underground like his sister and nephew.
Know how to stay alive
Murder Urban Legend
Knife to the throat with no hesitation
Quick cuts and keep moving
• He is known for slitting the throat of his victims, that is how he got the name ‘The Ripper’.
• With practice and repetition, he became very quick at killing people.
Draw no attention while I work up front in the background
• As mentioned in the point above; being quick at killing people makes it easier to kill people in front of crowds without being seen.
Never one to back down
Move up and keep moving
Need god-like power to be
Better than me
• He thinks he is so good you need to be a god to beat him in a fight.
Better to be a better me
I'd kill for that
• He has and will kill to be the founding titan and have control over all titans.
Elite and loyal squad
Willing to back any play I make
• His squad are willing to follow him no matter the plan and willing to do anything he asks them to do.
Spill a whole lot of blood if that's what it takes to Saves lives, take lives
•
(Easiest way I could explain it, is with this image.)
Simply prioritize
Got goals to achieve now open your eyes, see past the lies
• He wants to be the lead titan?
• Open your eyes and see past the lies the government are feeding you. Don’t believe what the government or MP’s are telling you about the world outside the walls, about titans or the Underground.
Let's play it like a blood sport
• Common examples of blood sports include the following: cockfighting, dogfighting, some forms of hunting (fox hunting, only intentional hunting is banned. ‘Accidental’ killing of a fox by hounds is permitted under the Act and can be used as a defence by those who are being accused of fox hunting. Fox hunting with dogs was banned in 2004 in England and wales but it did not end traditional hunts.) and fishing. A Hare aught by two greyhounds.
• Blood sports that include only humans’ participants, are the ancient roman gladiatorial games.
Fight for your life or die
It's your choice
Sometimes it's capture or kill
• In a gun fight or a knife fight you are not necessary fighting to win, you are fighting to live.
• You can choice to give up and stop fighting, the only problem with that is you cannot guarantee if you will live or die.
• If you do live, you do not know if you will walk free or be captured. Which would be worse than death.
Squash the dissenting elements
Torture the enemy, just for the hell of it
• He has fun torturing people. He does not care if you have any information for him, he will still torture you just for fun.
Tell me to care, but I just can't
My patience for this has gone dark
After patience let the fun start
The knives and guns come out
• Levi’s team fight with titans hunting equipment, which consists of knifes/swords. Whereas Kenny’s team uses guns to kill.
The option for living is getting revoked
My squad will leave you broken
But may be me that slits your throat like a sheep or a goat
• That was how he killed 100 men in the capital but slitting their throats. He is also saying that if you are lucky you will get to have be the one who kills you and not one of his squad members. You will get the luxury of having him be the one that kills you and being known as one of his victims. He thinks so highly of himself that he considered it a luxury.
Remorseless
• He does not feel sorry for the deaths he is caused and the lives he has taken. There is no use in you asking him to spare you.
The course of action is merely a by-product of my focus
The closer I get
The more I'm willing to go beast-mode
• He found something he enjoyed doing ,it saved him and gave him a sense of fulfilment after he came up from the Underground.
• Kenny is a Ackerman and he too had the same moment of power resurgence that we see Mikasa have and Levi mentioned having. So this would lead us to believe that he too can flip a switch like Levi and massacre a whole load of people, like we see Levi do when he (Levi) an his team are fighting Kenny in the cave.
Spilled guts and glory
Gory as it gets, I am that story
Can god-like power make me a better me?
I just wanna see
• He has killed people and become famous from it. Even gaining the moniker ‘The Ripper’.
• Slitting someone’s throat is very messy, especially with all that blood dripping everywhere.
• He wants the power of the Founding Titan and the ‘god-like power’ that comes with it.
• His sole goal in life is to be the Founding Titan.
