Took me down to the river
So I could drown drown drown
Looking up through the water
I kept sinking down down down
I feel like I’m dying
I’ve got one foot in the ground
Never knew what the love was
Until you came around

You’re going down!
You’re going down down
You walk all over me
You never thought I’d be
The one who’s laughing now
Now that you’re going down

Take you down to the basement
You look around round round
As you sit there in silence
I watch you go down down down
I feel like I’m flying
I’ve got my head in the clouds
Never thought I was crazy
Until you came around

You’re going down!
You’re going down down
You walk all over me
You never thought I’d be
The one who’s laughing now
Now that you’re going down

You’re going down down…

You walk all over me
You never thought I’d be
The one who’s laughing now
Now that you’re going down

Took me down to the river
So I could drown drown drown

You’re going down!
You’re going down down
You walk all over me
You never thought I’d be
The one who’s laughing now
Now that you’re going down

    General Comment:To me, this is BY FAR the best on the album. It seems most like their old music, like the songs off Three Days Grace and One-X.

    General Comment:I think a lot of it is metaphorical. For example, he talks about being drowned in a river, and he kept sinking down. This can easily be a metaphor for a point in his life when he felt his life was just out of control and spiraling down. At the end of the first verse he says he never knew what love was until you came around. This leads me to think that it is a woman who has screwed his live up. The chorus talks about him finally standing up and getting back at her for fucking his life up. The second verse is basically the same thing, except he is the one screwing her live up now. we see that it also pains him to do this to her, as he says it makes him feel like he is dieing, and he says that she has made him crazy. The song sounds like it is about a murder because he is relating his life being destroyed to being murdered. all and all it is about a woman screwing his life up, and him getting back at her in the end.

    General Comment:My first though " Wait, is this about sex?" then" No, no, no can't be, can it?"
    I'm so confused now. is it murder or a big dirty metaphor?
