Summary

Helixx C. Armageddon - "Rollercoaster," a 2021 single on Creative Juices Music.

While “Rollercoaster” might be the sole single one can currently find on streaming platforms by Helixx C. Armageddon, the New York-based artist has a wealth of songs, poems, and beats going back over 20 years. Probably best known as a member of The Anomolies, an all-women hip-hop supergroup founded in the late '90s NYC alongside Invincible, Pri the Honey Dark, Big Tara and DJ Kuttin Kandi, Armageddon is a treasure trove of creative energy that has emersed herself in nearly every medium of artistry one can engage with over the years.

“Rollercoaster” comes from the anticipated forthcoming full-length House of Helixx and wrestles with the dips in the proverbial rollercoaster of life. The low lows are something Armageddon knows well. Sleep paralysis, depression, and social media addiction are a few of the demons that plague her but Armageddon keeps her perspective by acknowledging that “There isn’t one person on Earth that isn’t riddled with holes.”

1:00.0	And the musical creatures that speak to all types of folks in all different places More against myself in the balance of life's pages Life is like a roller coaster I don't know just where I'm supposed to be Watch how I see What does it sleep? Somebody?
1:29.0	Somebody? Somebody?
1:32.0	Highs and lows, truth be told, watch the pendulum swing Where it lands, I can only hope the pressure won't sting
1:38.0	I'm secure, even with depression clamped on my wings Learn to fly, compromise, look for lessons and things
1:44.0	Shadows whisper as I walk They can't be seen to the eye
1:47.0	Hear them listen as I talk When hope recedes from my skies And something sparks like a transmission
1:52.0	I take these little intermissions It's like a phoenix I'm risen out the dust of wisdom
1:57.0	I'm suspending these notable fragments From minds of people they are said to ashes
2:03.0	Almost entirely by the way they've been living My logic or reason
2:09.0	Walking time bomb with thoughts Of Krylon from days so far gone They mate for sad songs
2:15.0	But it never lasts long Cause every boss a new dawn My drive keeps hope strong when I'm withdrawn in lights
2:22.0	A decision I choose to take control is not One person on earth who isn't riddled with holes
2:27.0	I'd be bold enough to say that every chapter won't close You have to manage what your dealt of living life is your goal
2:34.0	Life is like a roller coaster I don't know just where I'm supposed to be
2:46.0	What shall I see? What does it seem? Somebody, somebody find a place for me
3:00.0	Anybody find a place for me Somebody find a place for me
3:12.0	Anybody find a place for me Somebody find a place for me
3:32.0	Somebody find a place for me
