Down Past the Bottom
Descent Beyond Redemption: A Tale of Reflection
Lyrics
Down past he bottom, falling harder than a stone
Experiencing a significant decline, falling with intensity.
Get to handlin the good times that I’ve known
Coping with and managing the positive experiences from the past.
Sinking lower and lower
Descending to a lower state or condition progressively.
Down past the bottom where the devil won’t go
Reaching a point so low that even the devil avoids it.
Down past the bottom, nothing left to do but fade
Facing a situation where there are no options but to diminish.
No place to wonder, nowhere left to sail
Being in a state with no room for curiosity or exploration.
Sinking lower and lower
Continuing to sink to deeper depths.
Down past the bottom where the devil don’t dwell
Reaching a level so low that even the devil avoids residing there.
I got the feeling in your last letter
Expressing disappointment from the tone of the last received letter.
Could’ve been a little nicer, treated you better
Acknowledging the possibility of better treatment in the past.
Just to have a hold of the time for thinking
Desiring more time for reflection and consideration.
A lot of time for walking, a lot of time for thinking
Having ample time for both walking and contemplation.
Down past the bottom
Reiterating the state of being at a rock bottom level.
Down past the bottom where the devil won’t go
Emphasizing the extremity of the low point, beyond where even the devil goes.
I got the feeling in your last letter
Repeating the sense of disappointment from the last received letter.
Could’ve been a little nicer, treated you better
Reiterating the recognition that better treatment was possible.
Just to have a hold of the time for thinking
Expressing the need for more thoughtful consideration of time.
A lot of time for walking, a lot of time for thinking
Highlighting the availability of time for both walking and contemplation.
Down past the bottom
Repeating the notion of being at a rock bottom level.
Down past the bottom where the devil won’t go
Reiterating the extremity of the low point, beyond where even the devil goes.
Down past he bottom, falling harder than a stone
Experiencing a significant decline, falling with intensity (repeated).
Get to handlin the good times that I’ve known
Coping with and managing the positive experiences from the past (repeated).
Sinking lower and lower
Descending to a lower state or condition progressively (repeated).
Down past the bottom where the devil won’t go
Reaching a level so low that even the devil avoids residing there (repeated).
