Something Heavy Going Down
Unveiling Shadows: The Complex Journey of Life's Heavy Burden
Lyrics
On the streets that go by number
Refers to streets identified by number
Still can't figure out how to get home
Unable to find a way back home
There is no life lines, only dead lines
No support or guidance, only deadlines
Sure picked a fine time to be born
Chose a challenging time to be born
First you taste it then you're wasted
Experience something before losing control
By the time you're almost 16 years old
Near the age of 16, nearing adulthood
Everything used to be so simple
Life used to be simpler in the past
Like the beating of a heart
Life was rhythmic and predictable
Dedicated to my little darling
Dedication to a loved one
Right until the day we'd part
Love until separation
There's a fist on the door
A sense of impending danger
I can hear it knocking
Audible knocking, suggesting urgency
Gotta check it out
Feeling the need to investigate
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
Confirmation beyond doubt
There's something heavy going down
Suspicion of a significant event occurring
And there's more to it than a pistol and a gun
Implies complexity beyond weapons
There's something going down
Indication of an event happening
On a midnight operation
Operation occurring at midnight
When the searchlights make your skin crawl
Feeling discomfort due to scrutiny
My reaction to the action is
Disliking involvement in the situation
I don't want to be doing this at all
Breaking established norms reluctantly
Breaking rules that are made in schools
Rules for achieving success being disregarded
That teach you how to be successful
Life used to be easier in the past
Used to be oh so simple
Life was rhythmic and predictable
Like the beating of a heart
Same dedication to the loved one
Dedicated to my little darling
Love until separation
Right until the day we'd part
Impending danger or urgency
There's fist on the doorI can hear it knocking
Continued urgency to investigate
Gotta check it out
Confirming the need to check
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
Confirmation of something significant happening
There's something heavy going down
Sense of urgency about a significant event
And there's more to it than a pistol and a gun
Implies complexity beyond weapons
There's something going down
Indication of an event happening
Something heavy going down
Significant event occurring
There's more to it than a pistol and a gun
Implies complexity beyond weapons
There's something going down,
Indication of an event happening
Something heavy going down
Significant event occurring
There's more to it than a rocket and a bomb
Implies complexity beyond weapons
There's something going down,
Indication of an event happening
Something heavy going downA
Significant event occurring
Nd there's more to it than a pistol and a gun
Implies complexity beyond weapons
There's something going down, down, down, down yeah
Indication of a significant, downward event
Something heavy going down
Significant downward event happening
