Benjamin, Alec - Journey To The Lowest Place On Earth Lyrics






I took a journey to the lowest place on Earth
Got a shovel and I dug into the dirt
Put an apple and some water in my backpack
Well, I don't know if I will ever take a backtrack

Black's the only colour I could see
Then my hand just disappeared in front of me
And when I finally hit a piece of solid stone
Began to wonder if I'll ever make it home

This might be
The lowest place on Earth
Gone too deep
But for what it's worth

I've been to the bottom
I've drilled through the rock
And I know how it feels to just fall from the top
Might be
The lowest place on Earth

I kept on digging 'til it turned into a climb
That's when I knew that I had reached the other side
My biceps turn into a solid rock
I found my rhythm and I knew I couldn't stop

When the light began to leak into the cave
I cried because I knew I had been saved

This might be
The lowest place on Earth
Gone too deep
But for what it's worth

I've been to the bottom
I've drilled through the rock
And I know how it feels to just fall from the top
Might be
The lowest place on Earth

Digging and digging 'til I see the sun
I dig the hole that I must overcome
Climbing and climbing 'til I make it out
Pulling my body onto solid ground

Might be
The lowest place on Earth
Gone too deep
But for what it's worth

I have been to the bottom
I've drilled through the rock
And I know how it feels to free fall from the top
Might be
The lowest place on Earth

    That verse “and I know how it feels to free fall from the top” hits different when you know that he was dropped from his record label once T—T

  3. M.... M....

    Ahh... The old songs are the best <3

  4. M.... E....

    This song makes me feel something deep in my heart

  5. T.... ....

    Capturing emotion. To write like this is rare. Really good Alec

  6. A.... M....

    ❤ amazing!!

  7. A.... ....

    2020 anyone?

  8. D.... ....

    This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard, even (especially?) as a demo. It's so raw and simple

  9. V.... i....

    hes needs to make all demos official so u ca listen on different platform.........................................like so he can see

  10. I.... ....

    so yeah, look at the bottom middle, the cameraman is throwing a spatula at him

  11. K.... Z....

    Made in Abyss vibes

  12. J.... P....

    so this is a story... I was listening to demons at robotics on its release day and my friend came over and started listening with me... we both cried and i told him you are my favorite artist and I can't wait for you to be on tour. He told me that your his favorite artist too and that was a huge bonding point because the both of us love you and want everyone to hear your music but we also think your the best kept secret in music because your words come from such a deep place that they help people going through something similar but we also don't want to see you get so big that people start to fake problems so that they think they can relate to your deep personal words

    J.... P....

    That is one of the most beautiful things I've ever read. And you're absolutely right. I want to meet Alec because I'm genuinely concerned for him. I relate too closely to his songs and I know how hard it is to live in my head. It makes me worry if he's as like me as he seems.

    And Alec if you ever see this comment yourself, your a gift this world needs. Thank you for the time and the emotion you put into your work. And never stop chasing Unicorns ;)

  13. D.... G....

    Please put your demos on Spotify or Apple Music!!!

  14. a.... m....

    his voice fills my heart

  15. M.... R....

    I started listening to his songs on Spotify and got hooked but I didn’t know that he had others

  16. A.... B....

    Alec seems to have a facination with sitting on top of odd things.

  17. g.... m....

    I wish all his demos are in spotify😢😭❤

  18. M.... M....

    Nobody:
    Alec: **breathes while he's singing**


    Anyway, I love it xDDD

  19. M.... P....

    You HAVE to make a full version of this song. Its sooooo good!!!!!😍😍💖💗

  20. L.... G....

    Please do a show in Ireland some time. I get nervous in crowds but I would go to hear your music. Thank you.

  21. H.... B....

    Love you man , thanks so much for all these perfect songs.

  22. A.... C....

    It's been a few years and this still speaks to me. Thank you so much for all you do :)

  23. s.... e....

    Your voice is light of my life. ♡

  24. M.... P....

  25. M.... T....

    I really love your voice. How beautifully !!!!

  26. D.... Z....

    Alec plays Minecraft I guess.

  27. M.... G....

    When you forget your torch while mining in Minecraft

  28. E.... B....

    "Black's the only color I could see...began to wonder to wonder if I would ever make it home" hit me harder than should be allowed.

  29. H.... ....

    *His voice is so soft it makes me cry*

  30. c.... S....

    Can you put more songs of you on Amazon music pllls I love them so much and also want to hear them offline 😣

  31. K.... L....

    OH MY GOSH I FORGOT HOW MUCH I LOVED THIS SONG

    The nostalgia coming back from when this was released is kicking in

  32. L.... S....

    this song is amazing and it made me cry..its so relatable for me right now because im at the lowest place on earth ...and i just need help getting back to where i need to be and back to happiness.. keep up the great work alec! youre amazing and all youre songs are so pure and touching and sad sometimes if you just really listen to the music and the singing.🖤🖤

  33. I.... L....

    This is song so underrated, but its one of my favourite because I relate to it so much. Also I love almost every single one of Alec's songs even the old one, from the beginning to now I love all of them.

  34. L.... B....

    Is this about your failed label Alec?
    oh, You have turned the tables so much.
    I can't believe this is just the demo, this is really freaking good just on it's own.

  35. L.... T....

    I wish this was on spotify

  36. L.... ....

    This is the first song that Alec uploaded after I subscribed. I remember recommending his music to all my friends and showing them this only for them to shrug it off. Everyone who told me to shut up loves his music now that he’s rising in popularity. I’m so proud of how far he’s come in these past few years- listening to his older demos brings me so much nostalgia.

    L.... ....

    He's fallen
    And now, he's climbing back up.
    And he will break the surface of the earth and continue until he gets his wings and everyone realizes that he was truely an angel the whole time.

  37. T.... c....

    Words.. ughh.. this is magic. Your songs are all so so lovely.

  38. M.... G....

    Sounding like someone went mining without any torches. Sad times my dude ✌😔

  39. A.... H....

    This perfectly explains my GPA

    A.... H....

    Yep lol.

  40. H.... T....

    Plz come to nz

  41. D.... J....

    We need to do something about this Alec problem.
    Why does no one know who he is?
    Why is he not topping every chart ever created?
    Why is this song less popular than "Break up with your girlfriend cause I am bored"??
    Answer me this.

    D.... J....

    Answer.
    society has fallen

  42. G.... I....

    We don’t even need an official version.. the demo is beautiful and absolutely perfect ♥️♥️♥️♥️😭😭😭

    G.... I....

    I'm still kind of shocked by the fact that this is a demo and not the actual song

  43. A.... T....

    this song may have been the most fun to harmonize with.

  44. l.... j....

    Some people can't even make bad songs, don't drink and drive ❤️ did alec visit dead seaaaaa for real I've got to know

  45. T.... N....

    I got sweaty eyes... help.

  48. E.... ....

  59. i.... ....

    I know this was posted a while ago, but in my life, I would only change a few lines.

    I don't know what it's like to free fall from the top. Or to see the sun, or the light. I haven't been saved from my depression, and I don't know if I ever will. I've gone to therapy twice now, and they said it's very likely I've been depressed since second grade...

    Some people are depressed from stress of a bully from school or something, but the biggest bully I've had in my life, is myself.

    "I'm ugly, worthless, a waist of money, time, and space." And so much more.
    "Would others be happier if I never existed, if I was erased from existence, or if *I* erased myself."

    I'm not looking for sympathy, sometimes you just need to talk, or just think about what's keeping you down, to feel better. Even if it's only an hour or happiness. 😊

  60. M.... F....

    he's digging and digging trying to find something to connect to, just making himself more upset. now he's trapped in this bottomless hole of misery he can't get out of no matter how hard he tries.

  61. M.... l....

    Ok... I can't be the only person thinking of Minecraft when you hit bedrock and you ran out of torches 😂 the song is still amazing tho! 💖

  62. c.... g....

    this song literally made me cry. it just, ive been at that lowest place and all of these lyrics hit so hard. i dont know, i guess its just hearing somebody who i look up to talk about how they overcame something im still struggling with. i just... i don't know. im gonna listen again though.

  63. M.... P....

    I luv you man

  64. A.... C....

    Alec’s voice trumps all other instruments. The the accompaniment is great but the voice is the star.

  65. A.... ....

    Thought he meant Antartica lol

  66. B.... N....

    we all need to watch the video music over and over lets get him millions in ad revenue!

  67. G.... P....

    I memorized all the songs

  68. M.... S....

    His music is so important.
    More people need to hear it.
    He needs some serious recognition.
    He is making some damn powerful art.

  69. L.... L....

    I feel like I’m in the Lowest place on earth right now...

  70. T.... �....

    I can’t learn without listening your music

  71. N.... D....

    an actual angel.

  72. P.... ....

    I'm gonna sing this for a solo for a project for chorus

  73. L.... L....

    Okay wait how have I never seen this till now?

  74. M.... P....

    Boi I freaking love you ;(

  75. M.... M....

    Your amazing when I first realized my three favorite songs, that had goten me through some really tough times, were by the same person and that you had more I was amazed. I never realized that one person could make such a difference in a persons life. I also know in not the only one that feels this way. Your songs have such emotion and power in them. You reach the deepest part of our emotions even the ones most would never have the courage to touch. So I guess I just want to say thank you.

  76. l.... l....

    God this song is so good

  77. s.... a....

    I remember when this came out, I fell in love with it straight away ♡ you've helped me out of some low places alec, so thanks even if you dont see this

  78. K.... 1....

    Your music literally never disappoints! You are amazing and I know I comment a lot but it’s because you are amazing and deserve to know and deserve to be happy! You always make me smile even when I’m sad. You are amazing Alec:)

  82. P.... ....

    Alec, this song was my go to in the depths of my depression. Your music, especially this song, has influenced my life in the most extraordinarily positive way. You will never understand how grateful I am for your art. I love you more than words and I cannot wait to see you in concert this Saturday.

  83. y.... g....

    alec is so fit wtf

  84. s.... ....

    I love this song and I hope this doesn’t sound like an insult because it’s definitely not meant to be

    But this is such a wonderfull song to listen to while playing Minecraft

    Idk if that’s what you intended but it gives me that same “coming home” feeling that Minecraft normally gives me <3

  85. z.... ....

    that not sanitary XD

  86. C.... G....

    I'm surprised Alec Benjamin isn't famous

  87. C.... B....

    All of his demos are his saddest songs

  88. c.... b....

    alec is literally so underrated. i cant say it enough. his music is genuinely so heart touching and so many people can relate to it deeply and all his songs are beautifully put together. i cant wait until he blows up the internet and gets the attention he deserves. everytime i listen to his songs, they all hit me right in my heart, it’s just so powerful. god bless you, alec.

  89. S.... D....

    i bought youtube premium for u

  90. M.... R....

    This whole song is a metaphore for the start and the ending of a depression... it is.. perfect...

  91. J.... L....

    this song reminds me of birdbox somehow. everything does by me actually xD

  92. F.... T....

    ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤His songs explain life which is actually why I live his songs so much 😍😉😏😀😀😀🥰🥰😇😇😀😃😄😁😆😊☺️🙂😌❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤
