I've just got to go and, you know, like I just need some time to myself.
And she was like, cool, babe, away you go, you know.
But I had to get away from everything because, you know, I could see that I was going down a dark route, you know.

What is the message?
That is the message.
We forget how to connect with human beings.
We've forgotten how to connect.
You walk down the street and everybody's got their heads down.
You know, nobody wants to make eye contact anymore.
Everyone's too cool.
Everyone's too busy.
Everyone's trying to make out that they're way too busy and I've got too much on my plate and I'm sophisticated and I'm this and I'm that and righty-right.

Like, it's a real shame, you know.
So our community's gone, you know.
Like, I like to be able to walk down the road and go, g'day.
And people know me.
