Hope On The Horizon
Surviving Darkness: A Tale of Redemption and Hope
Lyrics
See I was only seventeen when we started drinking in the streets
Reflecting on the start of drinking in the streets at the age of seventeen.
I never thought that it would ever go this far
Expressing surprise at the unexpected and far-reaching consequences of the drinking habit.
'Cause when you're young, you just don't think it could be you that's suffering
Recognizing the naivety of youth, not anticipating personal suffering from addiction.
Addiction sounds like something that's just made up
Questioning the reality of addiction, perceiving it as something fictional.
Fast forward two years and I'm drinking every day
Describing a progression to daily drinking over two years.
Bottle of vodka in the morning as I wake
Depicting a morning routine involving the consumption of a bottle of vodka.
There's nothing anyone could do or even say to stop me to stop me
Feeling unstoppable and resistant to any intervention.
They ask me if I'm worried that I could just die
Addressing concerns about the possibility of death due to the destructive lifestyle.
But in that place I didn't want to be alive
Expressing a deep emotional struggle, not wanting to be alive in that dark place.
Self-medicating just so that I could survive the lonely the lonely
Turning to self-medication as a means of survival amid loneliness.
But when I was lost I'd tell myself
Reflecting on a mantra used during moments of being lost.
That you just need to reach out for help
Encouraging the idea of seeking help during difficult times.
I always knew that there'd be hope on the horizon, horizon
Maintaining hope for a better future despite the challenges.
I lost all of my self respect and every time I took a step
Acknowledging the loss of self-respect and recurring setbacks.
I always found myself right back at square one
Expressing frustration at repeatedly returning to a starting point.
The cycle never seemed to change, I'd black out then get drunk again
Describing a cyclical pattern of blacking out and returning to alcohol.
Do anything to keep my mind feeling numb
Willing to do anything to numb the mind and escape the pain.
It wasn't 'til I reached a point of no return
Realizing a point of no return and the absence of bridges to mend.
And there were no more bridges left for me to burn
Acknowledging the need for self-rescue from the destructive path.
That I realised I'd have to be the one to save me to save me
Recognizing personal responsibility for saving oneself.
Took all the strength I had to get me out that place
Highlighting the strength required to escape a dark place.
Looking back now rock bottom was my saving grace
Realizing that hitting rock bottom was a pivotal moment for positive change.
I'm thankful for the ones who stuck around and still forgave me forgave me
Expressing gratitude for those who supported and forgave during the difficult times.
'Cause when I was lost I'd tell myself
Revisiting the mantra during moments of being lost.
That you just need to reach out for help
Reiterating the importance of reaching out for help during challenges.
I always knew that there'd be hope on the horizon, horizon

I landed back on my two feet
Finding stability and balance after the tumultuous journey.
I made it out alive, I made it out alive

But it wasn't easy
