Seth, please never stop making stuff like this. I love that you can make the most relateable music, it's helped me more than you could ever know.

[jackneumann]

I'm gonna have to sue Seth because this just burnt down my house from how fire it is...

[DegoVisionz]

Seth just gained a new fan. this is so sick.

[cadoized]

"I'm by myself inside my little safe world
Outside my door, it's all too much, I don't know
If I go out I might not ever come home
So I'll just do what I'm told"

that chorus perfectly encapsulates what its like to live with severe anxiety

[ShapezPuller]

Nice touch with the Brave New World kid not standing up and dancing with everyone else; like he recognises that the 'abandon your excessive inhibitions' mantra is just another he's being told to live his life by. That or he simply just doesn't care about the ideological nicities of it all. Either way, thought it was a nice subversion.
Kinda suprised there wasn't a shot in class of the kids huddled around Seth on the carpet with Seth reading from a book or something at 1:41; like it's story time and he's just listing off all the 'shitty things' hypothetically in life and showing them pictures. Would have been Absurdist as fuck.
Either way, great track man. Props to the kids for being good sports.

Man I remember the day this dropped like it was yesterday. We're gettin old fam. ❤️

[selhiew]

life we live in 2020: "I'm by myself inside my little safe world
Outside my door, it's all too much, I don't know
If I go out I might not ever come home
So I'll just do what I'm told"
Love the original message

[Intro: Kids]
Good morning Mr Sentry!

[Verse 1: Seth Sentry]
Good morning kids, thanks for the warm welcome
You too, Mr Nelson, you look well for a thousand
It really brought back feelings of fear when that bell rung
Such an honour to be back in a school that I was expelled from
Yeah, hopefully this might inspire and help some
Stick with your education, you'll never make it without one
Sound fun? Well fuck fun, the world's a dangerous place
You'll never make it out alive, so just play it safe
Okay, now write down all your dreams on this circle of paper
Okay, now scribble that shit out if that work doesn't pay well
Money is everything so let it bring you merriment
Become obsessed with it and make the same mistakes your parents did (Okay)
So get a shitty job that makes you sick and tired
Then rent a little box so you can think inside it
Don't live like I did, don't follow what your passion is
Or else you might have nothing but your happiness, just play it safe

[Chorus: Kids]
I'm by myself inside my little safe world
I'm inside my door, there's all too much I don't know
If I go out I might not ever come home (Ooh)
I might not ever come home so I'll just do what I'm told

[Pre-Verse Ad-Libs: Seth Sentry]
Alright, calm down. Oy

[Verse 2: Seth Sentry]
I saw that you all were bored during this morning's talk
You all are drawn to the world and want to explore it all
Every mountain, every forest, every waterfall
Don't worry, you will learn to worry more when you are more mature
'Cause you could fall right off a mountain, forests are full of wolves
Waterfalls are wet so you're probably best to avoid 'em all (Oooh)
Yeah, fear is a part of being a grown adult
Make sure that you're insured 'fore you think of walking towards the door
'Cause you could die just walking to the corner store
You probably ought to stay at home and roll yourself in cotton wool
Reinforce the walls, install a burglar alarm
Purchase a gun and shoot the first person to walk on your lawn
(Woah!) But keep an eye out for the pizza guy
And watch the scary world through your Venetian blinds
Now everybody say it with me, "Don't take risks 'cause risks are risky"
Yeah, you're damn right, just play it safe

[Chorus: Seth Sentry]
I'm by myself inside my little safe world
I'm inside my door, there's all too much I don't know
If I go out I might not ever come home (Ooh)
I might not ever come home so I'll just do what I'm told

[Verse 3: Seth Sentry]
Dance like everyone is staring at you
Love like you're scared of having your heart broke
Live like you're scared of making mistakes
And sing like you're being judged by a bunch of talentless arseholes
At night time, lay awake in your little wooden bed
And run through the entire day thinking of things you shoulda said
Be afraid of trying new things, you should be scared
All the time, you should try to live a life that you regret
Yeah, I'm glad I got the chance to talk to you
By now you're probably all confused and you just don't know what to do
Yeah, life's a riddle, let me give you all a clue
Go and do the opposite of everything I told you to, play it safe

[Chorus: Kids]
I'm by myself inside my little safe world
I'm inside my door, there's all too much I don't know
If I go out I might not ever come home (Ooh)
I might not ever come home so I'll just do what I'm told

[Outro: Seth Sentry]
Bop bop bop bop
Yeah, by myself

[katerickard]

Circles of paper becomes (the game) 'Twister' on a table for for the kids...love the poetry 💖

[Nishimachi_Photography]

Loved this since I first heard it years ago. So well written. It actually makes me emotional about life... And I'm making sure my kids understand what its all about!

[whatstrangetimeswerein]

" go & do the opposite of everything i told ya to" damn, near brought a tear to my eye yo

[nicholaswadsworth]

Been listening to Seth since The Waiter Minute EP dropped back in '09.. Never fails to impress me with new tracks, awsome vibes and always something to relate to, definitely one of the most consistent artists in Australia.

[chaoticcollisions]

2020 and this is still a good song, i love the kid with the book that’s minding his business

[kardinalempress]

The lyricism of this song, fkn golden. Still gets better with every play

[DavidCimillo]

Impossible to not love Seth Sentry! This is such a great lesson to kids and adults. Such a real artist.

[panthamitchell]

Rocked out to Seth and Remi at the Gov last year. Both are slaying it with their new tracks.

[trollface]

SETH SENTRY I want you to know violin was the single greatest thing have ever heard it helped me get the closure my meth head dad will never provide I just want you to know that I know the same exact pain you felt and you make me feel like I'm not alone in the world I might be okay and I want you to know I haven't felt that way since I was 9 I'm 22 now my name is Blake or troll face your personal troll guardian in the YouTube comments from now on. You make me believe I can be happy again someday thank you I may have quite honestly taken my life without your music PS I'm a cannibalistic troll its more interesting that way I let normal people do there thing and knock assholes down a peg or 2 THANKS FOR MAKING MY LIFE ACTUALLY SOMEWHAT BEARABLE C:

[grnDestiny]

Seth, you are in my opinion, one of the top if not the top rap/hip hop artists in not just Australia 🇦🇺 but the world 🌎 right now.
