about
19 yo hip hop artist from Wangaratta NE Victoria creatures pictures with his words and clever use of story telling. He paints a tale of a journey through depression and suicidal thoughts through the metaphor of a train journey and tunnel.
Hendo also featured on SWV1 with 'All you need to do is talk' and approached the project about writing a second song for SWV2.
lyrics
it was daylight,
just a play time,
bottles of beer in my bag sounding like wind chimes,
on the train ride of my life time,
all the people around me my peers surround me,
so much alcohol i could drown in it,
talking bout how we dont ever want it to end,
how we wish this could go forever and never end,
doubts in my mind but we just playing along,
we all singing the same words to the same song,
so poor another beer man have another drink,
im not wanting to think,
we on the dance floor like we loving the beat,
see em smile acting like it aint nothing to me,
we keep it going till we see the sun rise,
hear em all screaming that they love life,
and im like,
something about this is not right,
waiting for the light like when will it come
looking for the end but it seems so far
so many people but i got no one
where were you when i needed someone
waiting for the light like when will it come
I’m trapped in a tunnel
and I can’t get out
so many people, but I got no one
where were you when I needed someone
i see the tunnel coming over the train,
its like only i can see it and im going insane,
everyone's still dancing like they lost there brain,
and i dont realy know if i belong in this place,
so i try to go along with the people around,
but im feeling sufficated like im starting to drown,
hoping someone notices and helps me out,
can finally see a little light at the end,
but without some help it feels imposible to get,
i thpught these people where my best friends,
but they dont take a second look its like they dont care,
this life im so scared,
suicidal thoughts are stripping me bare,
i cant even think ive lost my head,
i close my eyes and drop to the floor,
the knife in my hand can not be ignored,
waiting for the light like when will it come
looking for the end but it seems so far
so many people but i got no one
where were you when i needed someone
waiting for the light like when will it come
I’m trapped in a tunnel
and I can’t get out
so many people, but I got no one
where were you when I needed someone
i open my eyes,
the light shining in,
on there faces they smile,
but what can i think,
why am i alive,
who helped when i needed it,
it didnt have to go this far,
i needed you but you showed no heart,
i watched my life fall to peices,
i looked death in the face,
my mind was defeated,
i let my life be erased,
if only there was someone,
someone that was there,
someone that looked closely,
and notices i was scared,
now where all stuck in this messed up position,
hospital bed on doctors conditions,
still thinking whats the reason for living,
