Losing Ground
Aubrie Sellers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dirt falling under me
I've got nowhere to go
Guess I'll just stand right here
Watch myself disappear again
Slow and low
Guess you could say I'm getting used to it
But I'm not crazy
I'm just losing ground
Doc called some new pills in
I won't pick them up again
Cause I know that stuff's a joke
You can't just dope me up
When I'm down on my luck
I don't need mirrors and smoke
Guess you could say I'm getting used to it
One day I'm fine the next I'm in a ditch
But I'm not crazy
I'm just losing ground
Guess you could say I'm getting used to it
One day I'm fine the next I'm in a ditch
But I'm not crazy
I'm just losing ground
The lyrics of Aubrie Seller's song, "Losing Ground," convey the feeling of being trapped and helpless. In the first verse, the singer describes feeling like a landslide is happening beneath her feet, making her feel like she's sinking in dirt. She has nowhere to go and is resigned to watching herself disappear. The metaphorical language used conveys a sense of being out of control and helpless, as if the character is being swallowed up by the earth itself.
In the chorus, the character repeats the phrase "guess you could say I'm getting used to it" twice before adding, "but I'm not crazy, I'm just losing ground." This repetition reinforces the sense of helplessness and resignation conveyed in the first verse. The character is acknowledging that things aren't going her way, but that she's coming to terms with it.
In the second verse, the character mentions a doctor who has prescribed new pills for her. The implication is that they are antidepressants or other mood-altering drugs, as she refuses to pick them up. She insists that she doesn't need "mirrors and smoke," suggesting that she knows the drugs won't help her escape her problems. The song ends with a simple repetition of the chorus, driving home the idea that the character is stuck in a rut.
Overall, "Losing Ground" is a powerful song that captures the feeling of being trapped and helpless. The use of metaphorical language paints a vivid picture of someone who is sinking into the earth, unable to escape their problems. Despite the bleak subject matter, the song is beautiful and well-crafted, with a catchy melody that remains in the listener's head long after it's over.

She does sound like her mom, but what immediately comes to mind for me is Alison Krauss. She doesn't have Krauss' range of course, but I can see Alison singing any one of the songs on this album and they'd sound similar. They all have that bluesy/bluegrass twang.
