Coming Down
Escaping Shadows: Teen Idols' Embrace of Desperation in 'Coming Down'
Lyrics
I just had to get away this morning
To avoid thinking about you
To keep you off my mind
Your memory troubles me unexpectedly
Your memory haunts me without warning
I require a refuge to escape from it
And I need a place to hide
I seek a place to conceal my emotions
And a little help to just unwind
And assistance to relax and let go
I want it, 'cause I'm comin' down
I desire it because I'm experiencing a low point
I was touchin' a place where I wanna stay
I was reaching a state where I wanted to remain
I need it, 'cause I'm comin' down
I need it because I'm going through a difficult time
Can't face the fact that you've gone away
I can't accept the reality that you're no longer here
Gotta have it, 'cause I'm comin' down
I must have it because I'm facing a downturn
I can't lose the way that I feel inside
I can't shake off the emotions I have inside
I'll just pretend that you're still with me
I'll pretend that you're still a part of my life
To help me ease the pain
To help alleviate the emotional distress
I'll still deny it until I'm fifty
I'll deny the reality until a later age
Or until I go insane
Or until I reach a point of mental instability
From a drug contorted brain
Attributing the struggles to a distorted state of mind
