Bus Stop
de/V/oid Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I grew up in a small town
we didn't have no school
every – morning - seven - thirty,
the bus plan made the rules
I sat on the worn-out bench, yeah
desperately trying to be cool

and if anything was clear for me
I‘ll never be nobody‘s fool

I was sitting at the bus stop
of my hometown
that I really hate
waiting at the bus stop
with some homies
wond‘ring if this is my fate
every thought
I thought were new
boy, I really had no clue
what‘s going on.

Then I turned sixteen
still no money, still no car,
smoking, drinking, chasing women
and the time flew by

Is there anything bigger out there
Is there anything waiting to be done

And the bus don‘t stop
cause he knows for sure
we don‘t get on anyway

So I‘m sitting at the bus stop
of my hometown
admiring some cars
waiting to get picked up
by my fate and
taken to the stars
and my dreams of
promised lands
I don‘t get no
helping hand
it`s all in vain

I think I should go home
and pack up the few things that I own
Something‘s calling me
from inside of me

So I‘m sitting at the bus stop
of my hometown
you know what I will do?
I‘m waiting that the bus stops
and I get a ticket
no matter where it goes
And I will find my
promised land
and I don‘t need no




helping hand
it‘s up to me /it‘s all in me

King of galaxies that’s not a moral

@kingofgalaxy9061

Ok then moral of the story is to act kind and treat others nice

@artlife6210

Great short.
A hidden message here is how devastating to a young mans growth it can be to be without a father figure, and how the right approach can help him fill that void by someone showing him how to use the personal tools he has had all along.

@greenbananas7766

Amen. As she said, her favorite part if the comic was when he found his 'super power'. Love, kindness and compassion = boy finding his heart!

@ericperry4379

I agree

@adar3605

If the solution to the problem doesn't involve a father figure then the problem must be something else.
