Lyrics
Am I a ghost? Or do you enjoy pretending you're not listening?
Questioning whether the speaker is unnoticed or if the listener is intentionally ignoring.
You rather see me fall, but don't you know you're going down with me?
Accusing the listener of wanting the speaker to fail, warning them of shared consequences.
Can't you realize? We're both buried in the same hole
Highlighting a shared struggle or downfall, emphasizing a mutual situation.
Can't you fucking see? There is no escape
Expressing a feeling of being trapped with no way out.
It's every day in the air I breathe
Stating that the oppressive situation is pervasive and part of everyday life.
It's in the water that I much need
Extending the metaphor to emphasize the inescapability of the situation.
Despite the fact that this is so obvious
Acknowledging the obviousness of the situation or problem.
We insist to fake a smile
Describing a tendency to fake happiness despite the evident challenges.
Until there's no denial
Committing to maintaining a facade until the truth is undeniable.
I thought that we could do better than this
Expressing disappointment in the current state, believing there is room for improvement.
I ignore the signals and warnings presaged
Admitting to ignoring signs and warnings, possibly contributing to the current predicament.
I never cease to keep the faith within
Remaining faithful and optimistic despite challenges.
You should have known
Suggesting that the listener should have anticipated the consequences.
You couldn't get away
Asserting that escape was impossible, predicting an inescapable outcome.
So arrogant of you
Criticizing the listener for arrogance and overconfidence.
Am I a ghost? Or do you enjoy pretending you're not listening?
Reiterating the feeling of being ignored or unnoticed.
You rather see me fall, but don't you know you're going down with me?
Warning again about shared consequences, reinforcing the idea of mutual downfall.
Down!
Emphasizing a descent or failure, possibly echoing the title "Down."
It's every day in the air I breathe
Repeating the idea of the oppressive situation being part of everyday life.
It's in the water that I much need
Reiterating the inescapability of the situation through the water metaphor.
Despite the fact that this is so obvious
Acknowledging the obviousness of the ongoing issue.
We insist to fake a smile
Repeating the tendency to fake happiness despite challenges.
Until there's no denial
Continuing the commitment to maintaining a facade until the undeniable truth surfaces.
You should have known
Reiterating that the listener should have anticipated the consequences.
You can't lock this away
Declaring that the situation cannot be hidden or locked away.
It follows you everywhere
Indicating that the consequences follow the listener everywhere.
It's every day in the air I breathe
Repeating the idea of the oppressive situation being part of everyday life.
It's in the water that I much need
Reiterating the inescapability of the situation through the water metaphor.
Despite the fact that this is so obvious
Acknowledging the obviousness of the ongoing issue.
We insist to fake a smile
Repeating the tendency to fake happiness despite challenges.
Until there's no denial
Continuing the commitment to maintaining a facade until the undeniable truth surfaces.
