Featured Song of the Week! (THEMED..Right?) (10/20/17)


Stray Kids - Hellevator







Okay... so... I'm not even going to lie this one is a long shot. It's not that dark... It's not creepy.. I just really REALLY wanted to showcase this song/video. 

But on the other hand, it's not completely unrelated... I promise. 

The song itself is called "Hellevator"... That sounds scary, yeah?

But the lyrics aren't all butterflies and rainbows either.. 

Here's the English lyrics:

My life’s at a rock bottom’s cliff
I’m walking in a dark tunnel
I’m holding up
This cruel, dreadful day alone
My school hallway is fading away
On this unfamiliar way
I’m so unlucky
I don’t have any map to tell me if this road is right
There’s no way to go up
What I’ve been through is a maze
I never want to go back to
I’m comforting myself, shedding blood and sweat
Instead of blood and tears
They tell me such hills
Are just passing showers
If you want success
Put snares that are called failures
So yes, I bite the baits that are called pain
I’m wandering around with my exhausted wings
Of passions temporarily folded

My life’s at a rock bottom’s cliff
I’m walking in a dark tunnel
I’m holding up
This cruel, dreadful day alone
Though I reach out my hand, there’s nobody to hold it
They’re going up riding on my pain and tears

I’m on a hellevator
My hellevator
I’m on a hellevator
My hellevator
I’m on a hellevator

There’s nothing for me
Nobody really cares about me
No worries for me, just stone cold
“Give up on your nonsense dreams”
Their words on giving up hit my ears
My despair only gets bigger
Covering the sky called hope
With the hands of the people beside me
I’m praying for myself to hold on
To save myself from their unkind stares
They’re arguing if I’m crazy or not
I’ll be somebody’s clown even if I make it through
That’s what you’re going to be
Stop trying to be a singer
I push myself
Through hearing their words

My life’s at a rock bottom’s cliff
I’m walking in a dark tunnel
I’m holding up
This cruel, dreadful day alone
Though I reach out my hand, there’s nobody to hold it
They’re going up riding on my pain, my tears

I’m on a hellevator
My hellevator
I’m on a hellevator
My hellevator
I’m on a hellevator

I’m going to find out where the exit is
To save me from being locked in the darkness
I frantically try to run away
I’m on the hellevator, I’m going up
I’m escaping my dark past
Lighting up my dark road ahead
I run as I could forget
Those tedious moments
The bell of the new beginning
That they’ve been ignoring rings
I got on my hellevator that’ll hold my hand
And take me to the penthouse

I’m on a hellevator
My hellevator
I’m on a hellevator

See? Seeeeee? It's not completely unrelated..

So this is JYP's new boy group 'Stray Kids'. And they're really shaking up the Kpop world. Most groups are lacking in at least some areas.. With the exception of BTS, but they're on a whole other level so they don't count here.... But this group seems to be pretty well rounded. Their visuals are great, the song is my fracking jam, and they got the dancing down. I'm really excited to see where these guys go..
