Horrorshow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well alright, let's start the show
Wuzzup, nix the name, that's my man Adit
We took a quick break, fuck it, we back at it
With part two, brought to you in part
By the laughs and the tears and all the places that we've passed through
It's been a hellova ride the past few...
And shit, I'm not even tryna think about the finish line
Believe it's no game, but it ain't no race neither
We had to do it all in our own pace
Lessons learnt, bridges burnt and faux in their old faced
And I'd be lying if i said there weren't times I was lying blind
Line by line tryna shine this little light of mine
We put the foundations down with no blueprint
I wrote my first song just to see if I could do it
Used to keep it top secret, leaked it and released it
Barely got our feet wet, got thrown into the deep end
Until all of a sudden I'm in front of like
Three hundred some people in the Annandale's
Screaming and jumping and i can't believe it
Such a rush, what a feeling,
It made me wanna raise up and touch the ceiling
Turntables and a mic and we're ready to run *riiight*
We put it down when we're all up in the spotlight
Camera, action, we're ready to go
Horrorshow on the set, we just letting you know it's like:
Setbacks and traps set on the jumpsite
But the wicked don't rest so we're on our grind
So, this the moto that we follow:
Whatever life throws at us, it don't matter, the show must go on
*uuuuu-uuu* The show must go on, the show must go on,
Yo it must go on, the show must go on.
On and on to the break of dawn
We'll stay up all night if the flight's in the morning
Catch me sprawled out in an airport lounge somewhere
Hung over as hell like damn i love touring
Or out in the middle of nowhere,
But even if the budget is straight bare, believe we'll get there
Long days and nights, lost songs on harddrives
And there was one tour we even crashed the car twice (shit)
I juggle part-time, hustle like I'm living a double life
And spread myself thin like a butterknife
O buckle up and hold on, destination's unknown
But whatever, the show must go on
& Things are looking up too,
I'm out on tour with the people i grew up look up to
And all this from the power of the mic check one-two
Now I've got some other dreams I'm tryna make come true...
Turntables and a mic and we're ready to run *riiight*
We put it down when we're all up in the spotlight *liight*
Camera, action, we're ready to go *yeaaaiht*

The lyrics of Horrorshow's "The Show" talks about the hardships and struggles of making it as a musician. The song opens with a dialogue between Horrorshow and Adit, and then introduces the singer of the song, Nix.

They also mention their love for touring, despite sleepless nights and missed flights.

Check one two, yo Adit we good to go, man?
Are we ready to start the show, Adit?
Wuzzup, nix the name, that's my man Adit
Hey, forget my name, Adit is my homie
We took a quick break, fuck it, we back at it
We stepped away for a moment, but now we're back and going harder
With part two, brought to you in part
This is part two of our journey, with contributions from many people
By the laughs and the tears and all the places that we've passed through
We've experienced joy and sadness, and traveled to many locations
It's been a hellova ride the past few...
The past few years have been a wild ride
And there's no ending in sight, we 'bout to let you inside
We don't see this journey coming to an end, and we want to share it with you
And shit, I'm not even tryna think about the finish line
I'm not trying to focus on the end, I'm just enjoying the ride
Believe it's no game, but it ain't no race neither
This isn't a game, but we're also not in a rush to finish
We had to do it all in our own pace
We had to take our time and move at our own speed
Lessons learnt, bridges burnt and faux in their old faced
We've learned lessons, burned bridges, and left fake people behind
And I'd be lying if i said there weren't times I was lying blind
I would be dishonest if I said I always knew what I was doing
Line by line tryna shine this little light of mine
I'm doing my best to make my mark, a little bit at a time
We put the foundations down with no blueprint
We started building without clear plans or direction
I wrote my first song just to see if I could do it
I started creating music to test my abilities
Barely got our feet wet, got thrown into the deep end
We were inexperienced, but quickly had to adapt to difficult situations
Until all of a sudden I'm in front of like
Before I knew it, I was in front of
Three hundred some people in the Annandale's
A crowd of over 300 people at the Annandale venue
Screaming and jumping and i can't believe it
The crowd was enthusiastic and I was amazed
Such a rush, what a feeling,
It was an exhilarating experience
It made me wanna raise up and touch the ceiling
I felt like I could do anything in that moment
Turntables and a mic and we're ready to run *riiight*
We have the equipment and energy needed to perform well
We put it down when we're all up in the spotlight
We excel when performing in front of others
Camera, action, we're ready to go
We're prepared for whatever comes our way
Horrorshow on the set, we just letting you know it's like:
We're Horrorshow and we want you to know what we're about
Setbacks and traps set on the jumpsite
We've faced obstacles and unexpected situations in our journey
But the wicked don't rest so we're on our grind
We keep working hard because there are always challenges to overcome
So, this the moto that we follow:
This is the philosophy we live by
Whatever life throws at us, it don't matter, the show must go on
No matter what happens, we'll continue to push forward and perform
On and on to the break of dawn
We'll keep going all night long
We'll stay up all night if the flight's in the morning
We'll keep going even if we have an early morning flight
Catch me sprawled out in an airport lounge somewhere
You might find me napping in an airport while waiting for a flight
Hung over as hell like damn i love touring
Even though touring can be exhausting, I still love it
Or out in the middle of nowhere,
We might find ourselves in remote locations
But even if the budget is straight bare, believe we'll get there
Even if we don't have much money, we'll still make it happen
Long days and nights, lost songs on harddrives
We've put in a lot of time and effort, sometimes losing work
And there was one tour we even crashed the car twice (shit)
We had some bad luck on one tour and crashed our car twice
I juggle part-time, hustle like I'm living a double life
I have to balance multiple responsibilities and work hard
And spread myself thin like a butterknife
I'm stretching myself too thin and it's not sustainable
O buckle up and hold on, destination's unknown
We don't always know what's next, but we keep moving forward
But whatever, the show must go on
Despite any challenges, we'll keep performing
Things are looking up too,
We're experiencing some positive developments
I'm out on tour with the people i grew up look up to
I'm touring with role models I've admired since childhood
And all this from the power of the mic check one-two
Our musical abilities have led to these experiences
Now I've got some other dreams I'm tryna make come true...
I have new goals I'm working towards
(hah) the show must go on
No matter what, we'll keep performing
The show must go on
We won't be stopped from performing
Yo it must go on, the show must go on.
Our performances must continue
The show must go on
Nothing will prevent us from performing
On and on to the break of dawn
We'll keep going all night long
The show must go on
Our performances will never stop
Yo it must go on, the show must go on.
We'll never stop performing
The show must go on
Our performances will keep going
