The Bottom
Navigating the Abyss: Judd Smith's Reflection on Life's Depths
Lyrics
Long ago when
Reflecting on the past, reminiscing about childhood
I was just a boy
At a younger age
I learned quickly
Learned early on
Life ain't always joy
Life is not always filled with happiness
They gon' build you up now
People will elevate you only to bring you down
Just to tear you down
They will destroy what they've built
They gon' spit you out
Reject or discard you in an insignificant place
In a no-name town
Disregard you in an unknown, unimportant location
Never thought it'd ever get this low
Surprised at how bad things have gotten
Thought I'd seen the bottom
Believed to have reached the worst, but more hardships await
But there's, way more to go
There's a long way to fall
I'm on the edge now
At a critical point
Far as I can see
As far as the eyes can see
One wrong move
A single mistake could lead to disaster
Could surely be
A wrong move could be catastrophic
The end of me
Potentially facing an end
Down the road I'm goin'
Heading towards an unfamiliar destination
To a place unknown
Unknown territory
I can feel the chill in the air now
Sensing a cold, foreboding atmosphere
Cut into my soul
Penetrating deeply into the core
We're gonna need a wildfire
A metaphorical call for drastic change
Scorch the earth like my bones
Desiring a transformation akin to burning everything down
Let the rotted timber turn to ashes
Letting the decayed parts fade away
Let the embers guide me home
Letting the remaining spark guide back to safety
Never thought it'd ever get this low
Surprised at how bad things have gotten (repeated)
Thought I'd seen the bottom
Believed to have reached the worst (repeated)
But there's, way more to go
There's a long way to fall (repeated)
I'm on the edge now
At a critical point (repeated)
Far as I can see
As far as the eyes can see (repeated)
One wrong move
A single mistake could lead to disaster (repeated)
Could surely be
A wrong move could be catastrophic (repeated)
The end of me
Potentially facing an end (repeated)
Every night I look up to the sky
Reflecting on the night sky and its connection
I see the moon and it sees me
Seeing the moon, a mutual acknowledgment
With a glimmer in my eye
A glimmer in the eye, a shared understanding
It knows the things I've done
The moon bearing witness to past actions
It's seen the things I've seen
The moon observing experiences
But it's only from a distance
A distant observer, unable to intervene
It'll never come to me
The moon's detachment from direct involvement
Never thought it'd ever get this low
Surprised at how bad things have gotten (repeated)
Thought I'd seen the bottom
Believed to have reached the worst (repeated)
But there's, way more to go
There's a long way to fall (repeated)
I'm on the edge now
At a critical point (repeated)
Far as I can see
As far as the eyes can see (repeated)
One wrong move
A single mistake could lead to disaster (repeated)
Could surely be
A wrong move could be catastrophic (repeated)
The end of me
Potentially facing an end (repeated)
