Down Here
Southern Secrets Unveiled: Down Here's Hidden Truths
Lyrics
I love you like I'm not thinking 'bout it
I express love without overthinking
It's a natural thing
Love is a natural, instinctive emotion
Even in my dark Dixie closet
Even in my private and concealed thoughts
It's easy to see
My emotions are evident or transparent
School bus bumpin' over the creek
A school bus moves over a creek
Does everybody know the secret I keep
Wondering if everyone knows my hidden secret
But I know God and he knows me
Despite secrecy, I have a connection with God
Down here
Referencing a location or state of being
Down here
Reiteration of the location or state of being
Big church steeples piercing the sunset
Church steeples are prominent against the evening sky
And busted bicycle chains
Symbolizing brokenness through bicycle chains
Seeing how my eyes open for me
Being aware as life unfolds
Rivers of pain
A metaphorical reference to emotional suffering
Oh lightning strike away the pain
Asking for relief from emotional pain
Thunder clap away the shame
Requesting liberation from shame
Truth is a masquerade
Acknowledging that truth can be concealed
Down here
Reiteration of the location or state of being
Down here
Reiteration emphasizing the setting's significance
Down in the country
Referring to a rural setting
Out in the hills
Emphasizing a location in the hills
Out in the country
Reiteration of a rural location
3 dollar bills
Symbolic reference to something deceptive
Down in the country
Repetition of the rural setting
Out in the hills
Reiteration of the hills as a significant location
Out in the country
Repetition of the rural setting
3 dollar bills
Symbolic reference to something deceptive
Down in the country
Reiteration of the rural setting
Out in the hills
Reiteration of the hills as a significant location
Out in the country
Repetition of the rural setting
Out in the hills
Repetition of the hills as a significant location
3 dollar bills
Symbolic reference to something deceptive
