Liner Notes

Ugh. I decided to use good ole SOS on a synth timpani for this challenge, but it took a bit of a dark turn, and ultimately became a PSA. I think I like the music and chorus, mostly, but the verses are cringy. Times up though, so I’m FAWMing it. (Based on my observations, the use of the word FAWM is similar to the word “Smurf”, right?)

Lyrics

Hidden in silence, hidden in pain
Hidden in loneliness, covered in shame
Lured into violence, by a promise of love,
They are the hidden, with no place to run.

On the edge of existence in an alleyway,
Surrounded by needles is a runaway,
A child,
A girl.

It was so easy to disappear,
Years of abuse have left her here,
Her chance,
To escape.

Then a man comes by and makes her believe,
He can give her more than this life on the street,
The attention,
That she needs.

She doesn’t know she is being groomed,
Prepared for life as a prostitute,
A deception,
She can’t understand.

Hidden in silence, hidden in pain
Hidden in loneliness, covered in shame
Lured into violence, by a promise of love,
They are the hidden, with no place to run.
