the way he wrote these lyrics, it sounds like a love song, lmao. i love songs that are open to so much interpretation. sure, it could literally be about getting bodied by a train, but it could also be about the afterlife, or finding the love of your life...very cool
The symphony version just came out, and I just still like this version more. I love a good symphony, but the acoustic guitar and vocals just make me FEEL like I'm in an underground tunnel. The wind blowing in the second verse SELLS it. The vocal train whistle is haunting in its accuracy. Then the way the guitar and drums imitate the train coming closer, and the panic in his voice turning into relief at the end is just 🤌 perfection in its simplicity
Are we not gonna talk about how the lyrics say that this dude just wakes up underground and is walking in the dark Then is hit by a train, then die And the line “and I heard woo hooo hooo” is the train whistle
I woke up underground Not a light, not a sound I threw my voice into the dark But the dark had no remark, Just repeated what I said Claustrophobic at first Struck by hunger and thirst I stood up and looked around There was nothing to be found Just a world I couldn't see And I heard whoo I can't see you now I'll find my way underground Then my fear began to ease From far away whispered a breeze Telling me to move along Move along there's nothing wrong So I cornered my resolve Took a breath and took a step Encountered metal on my left What a strange thing to find Metal in this place of mine Running lengthwise down the hall And I heard whoo Then a light shown through the black I was standing on a track That little light began to grow There was no where I could go Oh oh and the ground began to shake No time left to hit the brake That little light was closing in And suddenly I'm floating Love I see you now, oh You found me here underground
I've always loved the feeling of watching a train come through the tunnel. The breeze and sound and excitement and everything. Totally magical. This song captures the moment so well
The way these lyrics tell a story from calmly finding a way out of the ground and then the moment he realises he’s on the train tracks and all the instruments and his voice intensify is just phenomenal ‼️‼️🤌🤌
heard this for the first time today thanks to spotify's 'discover weekly' function. thank god, honestly. this song is incredible and i absolutely adore it. also is the voice at the end saying "the next station is hove"? probably not because the central line and the underground is in london and not near hove but it sounds like it heh. (i ask because thats where i live)
So happy you're on American idol! My family and friends all think you already have the competition set in stone. YOU ARE AWESOME! Go win! We will be voting for Ya!
it's probably better he didn't win cause i heard shows like that have terrible contracts or something and i feel like maybe it would have hindered his musical ability and then made him irrelevant like a lot of these other winners of talent shows, who mostly end up forgotten, unlike some of the big hits who lost those competitions lol :P
GODDD I cantttt. ITS SO GOOD, i always tear up when i listen to it. No matter what mood im in, it always makes me smile. Thank you so much for such a beautiful song!!
Idk who is seeing this but Jesus loves you and wants to have a relationship with you. He loves you and can mend your every broken piece. He can give you peace and joy that is unspeakable and cannot even compare to the temporary happiness we experience. He loves you and wants to have a relationship with him no matter your circumstances 😊🤍
The bit of this song I heard on TikTok was so thrilling (especially paired with book tropes/story climaxes), but now that I hear all the words in one sitting... 😱 I can't believe this song is about suicide by train! Yikes!
hey you :) I was wondering if I have your permission to use your muisc in one of my Videos? I would credit you in the description of course & link your account😊💗
This song reminds me a lot of a Gurren Lagann track, more specifically the part at 2:15. It sounds really similar to the track tgey plsy when Simon first flys out of the underground cave and sees the surface world.
My interpretation of the song: TW: E.D. I woke up underground. (Everything was going well until It began going downhill.) Not a light and not a sound. (Nobody noticed, nor spoke about it to them.) Threw my voice into the dark, but the dark had no remark, just repeated what I said. ( They tried to talk to someone about it but they called them dramatic/said they were exaggerating it.) Claustrophobic at first, (Isolated them self or claustrophobic from the people around them due to low social battery) Struck by hunger and thirst. (Could be a reference to E.D.) I stood up and looked around, there was nothing to be found- just a world I couldn't see. (Was too scared to see the world even after trying to force them self.) I can't see you now. (Too scared to see their loved ones out of fear of hurting them.) I'll find my way underground. (Continuing to Isolate them self because of previous statement.) Then my fear began to ease. From far away whispered a breeze. Telling me to move along, Move along, there's nothing wrong- So I cornered my resolve. (Someone encouraging them to come out and show themselves to the world and be more confident, so they agreed and moved along.) Took a breath and took a step. (Prepared themselves for as long as they needed, taking a step forward in life.) Encountered metal on my left. What a strange thing to find- Metal in this place of mine, running lengthwise down the hall. (Encountering a problem that was completely unexpected in their life that would affect their future.) Then a light shown through the black. (Finally, somebody found or noticed them.) I was standing on a track. () That little light began to grow. (The person who found them got closer to them and made them feel better than before.) There was nowhere I could go, oh oh, (They seemed attached to that person in particular, not wanting to go anywhere else.) And the ground began to shake. (Life was shaky, taking them apart.) No time left to hit the breaks. (They couldn't make it stop.) That little light was closing in. (They realized they were leaving to give them time to find) And suddenly, I'm floating. (They called a helpline and it helped them survive. They took all their confidence and put them self out in the world.) Love, I see you now. (They are now able to see all their loved ones, aware that there will always be help for them.) You found me here, underground. (They are close to the person who helped them, because they found them 'underground' as in 'in deep depression.') Remember, this could not be what it means, but this is what I think it means. Everyone has opinions! ♥
Does anyone else think this song might be about finding God? Or God finding you? In a very poetic way... haha. He sings about being lost underground and then still trying to find his own way. He then realizes he's on a track (God's plan for your life?) then he sees a light. This light gets bigger and bigger until he is swept away by the train. He says at the end "I see you now" and "you found me" . I don't think the writer of the song is talking about an actual train... it might be God. Or maybe it's something else large and influential in someone's life.
Definitely fits. Similar to his song "Flying" in that it could refer to literally dying and going to heaven or could refer to spiritually being reborn.
Friend: So whats ur favourite song about?
Me: Some dude woke up on a train track and died.
Rest in pieces 😞
It might be 8 years later and he may be trending on tiktok but this is now my favourite song
Same
Turns out it was 8 months later when this song starts trending 👀
I hear a symphony for me
9 now
the way he wrote these lyrics, it sounds like a love song, lmao. i love songs that are open to so much interpretation. sure, it could literally be about getting bodied by a train, but it could also be about the afterlife, or finding the love of your life...very cool
YOU ARE THE COMMENT I WAITED FOR A LONG TIME. Felt the same since I heard it for the first time
For me sounds like the love of his life hit him like a train after he was "alone in the dark" for a long period of time.
I like trains
Oh no
You've probably been hit by now
Kitten fight 7 years later >:)
Me too
they told me i could never teach a llama to drive!
*Train comes out of nowhere and hits you*
The symphony version just came out, and I just still like this version more. I love a good symphony, but the acoustic guitar and vocals just make me FEEL like I'm in an underground tunnel. The wind blowing in the second verse SELLS it. The vocal train whistle is haunting in its accuracy. Then the way the guitar and drums imitate the train coming closer, and the panic in his voice turning into relief at the end is just 🤌 perfection in its simplicity
To that guy who accidentally started playing this in my Art 1010 class, thanks. This is a banger.
Are we not gonna talk about how the lyrics say that this dude just wakes up underground and is walking in the dark
Then is hit by a train, then die
And the line “and I heard woo hooo hooo” is the train whistle
Welp, looks like no one wanted to talk about it lol
i did not notice :0
Wait, what???
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
The moment when the instrument mimic the sounds of train engine gradually
Genius. That's how I knew he is the embodiment of music
that feeling when you discovered a hidden gem in music🤠
I woke up underground
Not a light, not a sound
I threw my voice into the dark
But the dark had no remark,
Just repeated what I said
Claustrophobic at first
Struck by hunger and thirst
I stood up and looked around
There was nothing to be found
Just a world I couldn't see
And I heard whoo
I can't see you now
I'll find my way underground
Then my fear began to ease
From far away whispered a breeze
Telling me to move along
Move along there's nothing wrong
So I cornered my resolve
Took a breath and took a step
Encountered metal on my left
What a strange thing to find
Metal in this place of mine
Running lengthwise down the hall
And I heard whoo
Then a light shown through the black
I was standing on a track
That little light began to grow
There was no where I could go
Oh oh and the ground began to shake
No time left to hit the brake
That little light was closing in
And suddenly I'm floating
Love I see you now, oh
You found me here underground
thank u👏
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This song, the singer, the vocals, the instrumentals.. All gold. Pure gold!
I've always loved the feeling of watching a train come through the tunnel. The breeze and sound and excitement and everything. Totally magical. This song captures the moment so well
Apparently, I listened to this song on repeat so much I got a top listener award, im so animating this song
Just found out this is about a train, is it? Listening to it again, I literally have chills. Talent is a fucking understatement.
This song could very well go places in the future. So solid.
Welp, you were right :)
It did indeed go places lol
I heard this song for the first time this morning. It's now my favorite song of all time.
I love how the song paints a whole musical video by itself!
The first time I heard this song I cried because it made me so happy. I still almost cry every time I hear it. It's one of my favorites by far (:
The way these lyrics tell a story from calmly finding a way out of the ground and then the moment he realises he’s on the train tracks and all the instruments and his voice intensify is just phenomenal ‼️‼️🤌🤌

also is the voice at the end saying "the next station is hove"? probably not because the central line and the underground is in london and not near hove but it sounds like it heh. (i ask because thats where i live)
I absolutely love the way the song so quickly escalates !!
So happy you're on American idol! My family and friends all think you already have the competition set in stone. YOU ARE AWESOME! Go win! We will be voting for Ya!
Still one of he best songs I've ever heard, your voice is incomparable to anyone else and the same could be said for your musical talent.

Statement of Cody fry regarding an experience in the buried. Statement begins:
this song is addicting
This is literally the plot of the mc of Angel Beats. Love this version and the orchestra. Excited for your future work Cody!

I have loved you for years! I can believe you were on American Idol, you should have been put through to the top 24, but you're amazing anyways.
it's probably better he didn't win cause i heard shows like that have terrible contracts or something and i feel like maybe it would have hindered his musical ability and then made him irrelevant like a lot of these other winners of talent shows, who mostly end up forgotten, unlike some of the big hits who lost those competitions lol :P

This song reminds me a lot of a Gurren Lagann track, more specifically the part at 2:15. It sounds really similar to the track tgey plsy when Simon first flys out of the underground cave and sees the surface world.

It was only now when I looked up the lyrics of the song that I realised what it's about ;-;
My interpretation of the song:
TW: E.D.
I woke up underground.
(Everything was going well until It began going downhill.)
Not a light and not a sound.
(Nobody noticed, nor spoke about it to them.)
Threw my voice into the dark, but the dark had no remark, just repeated what I said.
( They tried to talk to someone about it but they called them dramatic/said they were exaggerating it.)
Claustrophobic at first,
(Isolated them self or claustrophobic from the people around them due to low social battery)
Struck by hunger and thirst.
(Could be a reference to E.D.)
I stood up and looked around, there was nothing to be found- just a world I couldn't see.
(Was too scared to see the world even after trying to force them self.)
I can't see you now.
(Too scared to see their loved ones out of fear of hurting them.)
I'll find my way underground.
(Continuing to Isolate them self because of previous statement.)
Then my fear began to ease. From far away whispered a breeze. Telling me to move along,
Move along, there's nothing wrong- So I cornered my resolve.
(Someone encouraging them to come out and show themselves to the world and be more confident, so they agreed and moved along.)
Took a breath and took a step.
(Prepared themselves for as long as they needed, taking a step forward in life.)
Encountered metal on my left. What a strange thing to find- Metal in this place of mine, running lengthwise down the hall.
(Encountering a problem that was completely unexpected in their life that would affect their future.)
Then a light shown through the black.
(Finally, somebody found or noticed them.)
I was standing on a track.
()
That little light began to grow.
(The person who found them got closer to them and made them feel better than before.)
There was nowhere I could go, oh oh,
(They seemed attached to that person in particular, not wanting to go anywhere else.)
And the ground began to shake.
(Life was shaky, taking them apart.)
No time left to hit the breaks.
(They couldn't make it stop.)
That little light was closing in.
(They realized they were leaving to give them time to find)
And suddenly, I'm floating.
(They called a helpline and it helped them survive. They took all their confidence and put them self out in the world.)
Love, I see you now.
(They are now able to see all their loved ones, aware that there will always be help for them.)
You found me here, underground.
(They are close to the person who helped them, because they found them 'underground' as in 'in deep depression.')
Remember, this could not be what it means, but this is what I think it means.
Everyone has opinions! ♥
At the end does it say change at the central line?
Does anyone else think this song might be about finding God? Or God finding you? In a very poetic way... haha. He sings about being lost underground and then still trying to find his own way. He then realizes he's on a track (God's plan for your life?) then he sees a light. This light gets bigger and bigger until he is swept away by the train. He says at the end "I see you now" and "you found me" . I don't think the writer of the song is talking about an actual train... it might be God. Or maybe it's something else large and influential in someone's life.
Drew Costenbader that's interesting. Doesn't matter much why it was written, it fits
Definitely fits. Similar to his song "Flying" in that it could refer to literally dying and going to heaven or could refer to spiritually being reborn.
It totally fits, I was thinking the same thing when I first heard it!
It’s about him getting g hit by a train I believe
I thought the same! That's a beautiful way to see It 💖
revivebur is that you
wooo~... chugga-chugga chugga-chugga chugga-chugga (nnnnyyooOOOOW) CHUGGA-CHUGGA CHUGGA-CHUGGA CHUgga-chugga chugga-chugga
This song reminds me a little bit of Anthem by Ayn Rand
So the guy got hit by the train and died? :(
Amy D yes
