Keep Me Down
Struggling Against Gravity: Guided by Voices' 'Keep Me Down'
Lyrics
I have tried to read every page now
I have attempted to understand every aspect now.
But the wind just blew it away now
But external forces have disrupted my understanding.
Yank bravely-happened to choose you
Bravely, I happened to choose you, indicating a significant decision or commitment.
To keep you every night
To keep you every night, expressing a desire for a continuous connection.
But you keep me down
Despite my efforts, you bring me down.
Why do you keep me down?
Questioning the reason for being brought down or restrained.
I'm trying to keep all of my strength now
Struggling to maintain my strength.
But my knees just blew it
My efforts are hindered, possibly by external challenges.
I found you insanely
Discovering you in an intense or overwhelming manner.
Now I can't lose you
Expressing a reluctance to lose the discovered entity.
And I try to every night
Despite attempts, there is a persistent struggle every night.
But you keep me down
Continuing to feel restrained or held back.
Why do you keep me down?
Persistently questioning the reason behind being kept down.
I'm driven to you

I'm driven to drink

God make it your heart

Your art
Referring to the other person's art or creativity as a significant factor.
I reputiate thee
Rejecting or disowning someone or something.
Thou venomous harpie

I'll plead every day now
