Down Past the Bottom
Sinking Beyond Redemption: Lucinda's Descent into Despair
Lyrics
WELL Down past The bottom, falling harder than a stone
Experiencing a profound low, descending beyond the lowest point, akin to the rapid fall of a stone.
I CAN'T REMEMBER ANY good times that I've known
Unable to recall any positive experiences or moments from the past.
I'M Sinking lower and lower
Sinking into deeper despair or hardship progressively.
Down past the bottom where the Devil won't go
Reaching a point of extreme despair, beyond even where the Devil would tread.
YEAH, Down past the bottom, nothing left to do but fAIL
Being in a situation where failure seems inevitable, with no apparent options or solutions.
No place to wAnder, nowhere left to sail
Feeling lost and having nowhere to go or explore.
I'M Sinking lower and lower
Continuing to sink into a state of despair or hopelessness.
Down past the bottom where the Devil don't HAIL
Falling to a level even below where the Devil offers any acknowledgment or recognition.
YEAH I got the feeling in your last letter
Expressing regret or remorse about the content of a recent letter, possibly recognizing a lack of kindness or proper treatment.
Could've been nicer, treated you better
Acknowledging a need for better treatment in the past.
Just to have a WHOLE LOT OF time for thinking
Having ample time for introspection and contemplation.
A lot of time for walkin', a lot of time for DRinkin'
Alluding to having time for various activities, including walking and drinking.
Down past the bottom
Reiterating the state of being well below the bottom, where even the Devil avoids.
Down past the bottom where the Devil won't go
Emphasizing the depth of despair and desolation.
YEAH, I got the feeling in your last letter
Repeating the regret or remorse expressed in the letter.
Could've been nicer, treated you better
Reiterating the need for better treatment in the past.
Just to have a WHOLE LOT of time for thinking
Reemphasizing the abundance of time for reflection and contemplation.
A lot of time for walkin', a lot of time for DRinkin'
Reiterating the availability of time for various activities, including walking and drinking.
Down past the bottom
Restating the condition of being well below the bottom.
Down past the bottom where the Devil won't go
Reiterating the extremity of the situation, where even the Devil avoids.
YEAH, Down past The bottom, falling harder than a stone, I'M FALLING
Reexperiencing a severe descent, emphasizing the intensity of the fall.
I CAN'T REMEMBER ANY good times that I've known
Recalling the absence of any positive experiences or memories.
I'M Sinking lower and lower
Continuing to sink into a state of despair or hopelessness.
Down past the bottom where the Devil won't go
Reaching a point of extreme despair, beyond even where the Devil would tread.
YEAH DOWN PAST THE BOTTOM, FALLING HARDER THAN A STONE
Reiterating a profound descent, emphasizing the intensity of the fall.
I CAN'T REMEMBER ANY GOOD TIMES THAT I'VE KNOWN
Reemphasizing the inability to recall any positive experiences from the past.
I'M SINKING LOWER AND LOWER
Continuing to sink into a state of despair or hopelessness.
DOWN PAST THE BOTTOM WHERE THE DEVIL WON'T GO
Reaching a point of extreme despair, beyond even where the Devil would tread.
