Horrorshow - Note To Self (No. 81) Lyrics






I wrote this one with the windows open
To let in some fresh air, or maybe I was half-hopin'
I could fly away from it all, find a brighter day
But I'm here to live my life and I'll find a way
I got to thinking, you know it ain't so bad
I've got my friends and my brother and my Mum and my Dad
And I'm thankful for that, sorry I don't show it enough
These are the people that I turn to when the going gets tough
What up? I give thanks to my mates and crew
Like the boys say "together we gon' make it through"
And the same goes for you too, wherever you hail from
The words may change, we're all singing the same song
It's in the key of life, though we might forget the tune
From time to time man, we'll be all right
Look at the metres gained, stand in today's sun
You can't yet deal with tomorrow's rain

See that's life kid, and we just tryna live it right kid
'Cause it'll pass in the blink of an eyelid
So get your smile on, throw your hands high
Stay happy with the now, till tomorrow arrives
See that's life kid, and we just tryna live it right kid
'Cause it'll pass in the blink of an eyelid
So get your smile on, throw your hands high
Stay happy with the now, till tomorrow arrives

If these walls could talk, I'm not sure I'd want to listen
It's a fine line between a game and a competition, but
Sometimes I sit back and look at how far we've come
And it's hard to believe, it only just begun
Sometimes I wonder if you really understand
The drive that I find inside your encouragement
Sometimes I think about the days way back
'Fore the hurt crept in, tainted that household name
Love... that very household's name
But now that house holds painful memories for some
Endless card games and road trip charades
Remember the good times, I'm sure there's plenty more to come
See I'm here now, ear-to-ear now
Couldn't see through the storm, but horizon's clear now
I just wanna leave you with these words
No matter where each of us ends up on this Earth, for what it's worth

I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever
I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever
I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever
I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever
I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever
I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever
I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever
I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever
I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever
I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever
I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever
I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever

'Cause what's life but a journey of bus fares and train rides
Long days, late nights, kicks, snares and basslines
Hearts broken and tears shed
Good times spent with dear friends
From sunrise down to sunset
There's still breath in my chest
So I'ma keep walking the line, no, I ain't done yet
See I know it can be hard at times
But you only get one shot, don't let it pass you by
So what if you haven't yet met the love of your life?
So what if you've had your fair share of trouble and strife?
What I'm saying when I'm rhyming this verse
Is I realised we have such little time on this Earth
So from my people down the front to the kid up the back
Let me see you crack a smile if you feeling the track
Let go of your sorrow and be glad you're alive
Let's all be happy with the now, till tomorrow arrives

See that's life kid, and we just tryna live it right kid
'Cause it'll pass in the blink of an eyelid
So get your smile on, throw your hands high
Stay happy with the now, till tomorrow arrives
See that's life kid, and we just tryna live it right kid
'Cause it'll pass in the blink of an eyelid
So get your smile on, throw your hands high
Stay happy with the now, till tomorrow arrives

Talk to 'em, Adit

  1. J.... G....

  4. H.... N....

    Where has this been all my life?

  5. f.... ....

    Reminds me of living in my van, no plan, just driving up the east coast of AUS from SA , sleeping where ever, waking up, pumping this song and just getting pumped on life and taking in every moment of it. The life. Horrorshow have made history and continue to do so. Love.

  6. P.... A....

  14. R.... B....

    this song is just too good, literally, it seems above what most people can even take in at one time. so damn awesome!

    R.... B....

    couldn't agree more

  15. g.... g....

    hilltop hoods are better

  16. 4.... ....

    @***** i like all three as well as seth sentry

  17. V.... K....

    Sick breakdown..

  18. T.... ....

    is solo the rapper and addet the producer?

    T.... ....

    Yes, spelt Adit though.  And Solo's name is Nick, which is referenced in a couple of songs, so that should help.

    T.... ....

    TheFineolase adit on the fader

  19. U.... P....

    Once again nice and very unique - loved the random addition of electric

  20. s.... ....

    Thanks for this song. Helps me feel better when shits no good.

  21. T.... ....

    Well, i've changed a fair bit over the past year, nah me and the hipsters, we're cool now. man i was a pretentious little wanker

  22. A.... v....

    Praying that everyone finds this song, because it was made for preaching

  23. H.... ....

    dope! can't wait

  24. C.... ....

    AUGUST 2nd! Horrorshow is back

  25. K.... R....

    Will the song get any worse if they do?

  26. S.... R....

    I wouldnt have taken it any other way ... They really need to release another album.

  27. S.... R....

    The did have a follow up album in '09. Inside Story. Quality stuff.

  28. S.... R....

    This is a seriously fucking good song. In my top 10 of all time, for sure.

  29. C.... M....

    any ideas what its called....

  30. n.... ....

    & it'll pass in the blink of an eye lid - Such is life

  31. H.... ....

    I think they have a new album dropping this year, should be good.

  32. P.... B....

    It was Bliss n Eso and 360 that got me into Aussie hip hop but it was Horrorshow who just fucking blew me away, and this song definitely takes the prize as the most moving, amazing hip hop song I've heard so far.

    P.S.: Is the shop in the cover art still there?

  33. 3.... ....

    the beat sounds chill .. .

  34. K.... A....

    2013 will mark the beggining of a good life for me and its started with pumping horrorshow :)

  35. A.... M....

    Glad to hear you're still going on man. Keep it up! You're worth so much.

  36. K.... B....

    horrowshows the groups name lol
    the rappers name is solo

  37. C.... ....

    Nah definitely not. They are both honestly great albums. I can't split them and am so excited for the new one to come out.

  38. l.... f....

    Aus hip-hop saved my life! No joke, I would have ended my own life through depression and hard times a long time ago if all my favourite music talked about was guns/money/woman and cars. And horrorshow or illy or phrase and seth sentry might never know how much their lyrics really got me through the hardest times of my life but I know they write half this stuff in troubled times themselves and to help kids see a light at the end of the path is just something that i could never re-pay so ty guys!

  39. J.... L....

    Without Horrorshow, Aus HipHop wouldn't be the same. 360, Kerser, they're all jokes. This is the true shit, HipHop is about the flow, the beats, the rythym.

  40. b.... s....

    go get hit by a train

  41. K.... B....

    if they take any advice from 360 the unique and amazing side of horrowshow will drift out the window

  42. R.... E....

    Very true!

  43. J.... M....

    when ever i feel like shit i just play this and everything seems better...

  44. M.... ....

    I just want you all to know i will love you all forever <3

    M.... ....

    I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever

  45. t.... d....

    im my haze and this song will be the loves of my life for eternity

  46. c.... ....

    i want this to be my funeral song..

  47. T.... ....

    This song is stunning O.O

  48. J.... B....

    i watched nick rap the first verse of this song at the reach foundation and it was phenomenal, he a is a massive inspiration

  49. M.... E....

    these guys performed in front of my school

  50. W.... ....

    This song helps me to think about important things

  51. m.... ....

    The kind of song that when your down and have given up, just picks you right back up and reminds you what it is that you still have to help you carry on.
    <3 horrorshow. The realest hip hop.

  52. P.... ....

    Not given enough recognition for their genius! <3 so much love

  53. M.... ....

    listening to solo calms my mind

  54. E.... ....

    solo* has the perfect voice

  55. J.... ....

    fucking love this song.

  56. x.... ....

    @Whannyd crazy i thought the same thing when i first got into this song 2 years ago. its a
    great song

  57. i.... m....

    I dont understand how drapht went mainstream sure it changed but it changed for the better he changed his style from songs like drink drank drunk to songs like people dont know and down cause a member of his crew got cancer from drinking and hes no longer signed with obese hes with the ayems and thanks horrowshow you guys are legends

  58. a.... ....

    @Whannyd
    I can almost gaurantee that you will die :)

  59. a.... ....

    I've lsitened to horrorshow for a long time and spread his music - kills bliss n eso and even urthboy

  60. A.... J....

    @HarleyWS97 the third album will be a true test... i'm glad that they are taking their time releasing it and not rushing anything because it would be easy for the tone to get stale...
    they should take a cue from 360 who left a good 3 years between his 1st and 2nd album... gave it time and the success of falling and flying is a testament to the benefits of not rushing out the next effort
    Peace and love Horrorshow, you guys are fucking kings

  61. J.... B....

    Love Aus Hip-Hop Ever Since i Lived and Worked with a Group of Aussie and Kiwi Lads.

    Big love from the UK!

  62. N.... ....

    @kontrast1992 just cos someone makes same kind of deep songs that slug does does not mean they r biting them, there are hundreds of rappers like that..some are biting some not..these not

  63. g.... m....

    starting from 2:13 will be the song playing as my coffin comes in

  64. T.... L....

    this song inspires good times.

  65. c.... ....

    perfect

  66. m.... n....

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart Solo and Adit for making this song. Really helped me through some tough times, and I really can't thank you enough.

  67. V.... ....

    maaan this song is chiiiiillll... love it

  68. H.... ....

    @pattypaan Drapht was signed to Obese, and he went mainstream. Well not so much mainstream but his style changed so much all while still on obese. And thats what i mean with horrorshow

  69. p.... ....

    @HarleyWS97 they're already signed to one of the prominent australian hip hop labels Elefant Traks, can't see them moving on from there

  70. I.... ....

    @HipHopAus I think in a few songs, Solo does actually make reference to Slug ... But I think it's evident in any artist that they have an influence and you can see similarities in it ... But the truth of it is, Solo is a completely different artist to Slug ...

  71. H.... ....

    @kontrast1992

    your heart is in for a disappointment... and how are they biting Slug? I've heard that comparison before, and know that Slug/Atmosphere are an influence, but they really don't sound that similar at all to me.

  72. H.... ....

    if these guys go mainstream and sign to a more well known label i will kill everyone in a 100 metre vicinity of me at the time.

  73. d.... ....

    Having gone through such a hard period of my life recently, its been more or less this song (on some days just on repeat while I work) that has got me through it all, and I still listen to it whenever I feel the world coming down on me. Thankyou Horrorshow for such an uplifting song. And I got to see you at the Brissy gig (10/6/11) with 8000 of my other mates. I swear if you had played this song then, I would have lost my s***. So thanks for not playing it then lol. Peace.

  74. m.... ....

    Thanks for sharing. this is one of the most important hip hop songs i've heard. I really needed to hear this today to remind me that as Bill Hicks says, 'it's just a ride'. We're all going to be alright.

    Horrorshow - keep up the damn good work. keep sharing that real shit and rocking people to their cores as you have me this morning. you got soul.

  75. H.... ....

    @sullydero

    Yeah.. Solo has a dope voice, and it meshes perfectly with Adit's production!

  76. J.... W....

    horrorshow has the perfect aus hip hop voice

  77. s.... ....

    @chocfudgesundae HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!

  78. u.... ....

    @theboss4223
    I only half agree. I also like Inside Story :-)

  79. 5.... ....

    @theboss4223

    Its my favourite album as well. it has such a flow it that i've never experienced in an album before

  80. t.... ....

    The grey space is my favorite album of all time. Aussie hip hop is so dope at the moment.

  81. s.... ....

    <3 these guys, amazing, keep it up to them. i wish i could support them more than just buying there songs

  82. A.... H....

    that guita slolo at the end is crazy,just unreal.

  83. T.... ....

    There is always these songs that make you smile and realize that life is fucking massive and theres so much to do. :)

  84. p.... ....

  95. H.... ....

    holy shit... no kidding, it dawned on me at some stage last year that this would be the perfect funeral song (i was in a particularly bleak mood at the time...) im surprised someone else thought the same!

  96. W.... ....

    Don't wanna sound morbid, but this is so my funeral song if I die.
