Story Behind The Song

Redemption, saving your life

Lyrics

Down

It began one fateful evening, the beginning of the end
Short on cash and lonely, you meet all the wrong friends
He went out late that night, high on some shit he bought
A blind and poor decision, hoping he won't get caught
They broke into the store, his homies left him there
He's running for his life, your dreams vanish into thin air

Chorus
You're going down down down
Lost in the dark
Tearing your world apart
You're going down down down
Deep in the hole
That's where you'll find your soul
Save yourself while you can
Cause nobody gives a damn
You're going down down down

The lights and sirens sounding, the cops are on your tail
The dude right on the corner, says you're gonna go to jail
You jump over a fence, as the flashing lights go by
Your heart is really pounding, it's the middle of the night
You swear this time you'll change, if you only get a break
You better think of something, cause you're writing your own fate

Repeat Chorus

Your wishes were all granted, a painful lesson learned
You live to fight again, some bridges should be burned
The judge cleared all the charges, and saved your sorry ass
You better make it count, it's all within your grasp
You should clean up your act, or you'll end up in a cell
Only fools don't learn, so watch your step or else

Repeat Chorus
