Deep Down Low
Embrace the Depths: Finding Strength in Life's Low Moments
Lyrics
Everybody says don't lose your head
Emphasizes advice to maintain composure despite challenges.
You gotta keep that pretty smile upon your face
Societal expectation to keep a positive facade.
Well I did that for awhile but it just was not my style
Choosing authenticity over conforming to societal norms.
I kept endin' up in that forbidden place
Repeatedly finding oneself in a challenging or forbidden situation.
I'm a happy woman but when I get knocked to the ground
Expressing resilience in the face of adversity.
I invite the blues to come around
Willingness to confront and experience sadness.
So don't be afraid to cry get down as far as you can go
Encouragement to embrace vulnerability and release emotions.
Let the river rage on by and the wind blow
Metaphorically allowing natural forces to take their course.
If you pay your dues in darkness
Enduring difficult times as a prerequisite for appreciating better moments.
You'll appreciate the light
Recognizing the value of light after going through dark times.
Cause a deep down low makes level feel so high
Experiencing a profound low enhances the appreciation of highs.
I put on the saddest song ignore the telephone
Seeking solace in sad music and intentionally disconnecting from others.
I go ahead and cry the make-up from my eyes
Allowing oneself to express and release emotions through crying.
I let my mind play tricks and then
Recognizing the deceptive nature of one's thoughts.
I let it fool me once again
Falling victim to self-deception repeatedly.
Into thinkin' that I'll never be alright
Temporary belief that things will never improve.
Then when I'm no longer crazy and I'm back to my old self
Recovery from a difficult period and rediscovering one's well-being.
I realize how good I've always felt
Realizing the inherent goodness in oneself.
So don't be afraid to cry get down as far as you can go
Reiterating the importance of embracing vulnerability and emotions.
Let the river rage on by and the wind blow
Allowing external forces to flow freely, symbolizing acceptance.
If you pay your dues in darkness
Echoing the theme of enduring hardship to value brighter moments.
You'll appreciate the light
Highlighting the contrast between darkness and light.
Cause a deep down low makes level feel so high
Reiteration of the transformative power of experiencing deep lows.
Let yourself go under
Encouraging a deeper emotional experience, possibly related to sadness.
Touch the bottom of the pool
Metaphorically exploring the depths of one's emotions.
Ain't it strange and don't you wonder
Reflecting on the mysterious nature of life's challenges and recovery.
How you always come back up and it's so cool
Acknowledging the cyclical nature of overcoming challenges.
So don't be afraid to cry get down as far as you can go
Emphasizing the importance of embracing vulnerability and emotions.
Let the river rage on by and the wind blow
Letting life's challenges unfold while maintaining resilience.
If you pay your dues in darkness
Reiterating the contrast between darkness and appreciating the light.
You'll appreciate the light
Highlighting the transformative effect of enduring hardships.
Cause a deep down low makes level feel so high
Stressing the uplifting feeling that follows profound lows.
