The Current
Blue Man Group (feat. Gavin Rossdale) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Going down
Down where my breath is the only sound
Going down
Going down
Going down
Don't look for me now I'm not around
I've been thinking about the future
I've been waiting for the day
Let the current carry me... far away
Let the current carry me away
Color flows
But I don't know where it goes
I don't care
I just get it there
Took this job
'Cause I needed one
Now it's seven years since I've seen the sun
All day long I'm underground
I've been thinking about the future
I've been waiting for the day
Let the current carry me... far away
Let the current carry me away
And I've been thinking about the future
I hope someday that I'll get away
But the current keeps bringing me back around
Seems the only place for me is underground
So tomorrow when the sun comes out
I'll be going down
Going down
Going down

Descending into a lower place or state
Going down
Descending into a lower place or state
Down where my breath is the only sound
Reaching a location where complete silence surrounds me
Going down
Descending into a lower place or state
Going down
Descending into a lower place or state
Don't look for me now I'm not around
I'm not present and cannot be found if looked for
All day long I'm underground
I spend the entire day in a subterranean environment
I've been thinking about the future
I have been contemplating on what is yet to come
I've been waiting for the day
I have been eagerly anticipating a certain day
Let the current carry me... far away
Allowing myself to be transported to a distant place by a stream or tide
Let the current carry me away
Giving in to the flow and letting it take me away
Color flows
Tints and shades move in unison
But I don't know where it goes
I am unaware of the color's final destination
I don't care
I am indifferent to the color's fate
I just get it there
My responsibility is delivering the color to its intended location
Took this job
I accepted employment
'Cause I needed one
I was compelled by necessity to seek employment
Now it's seven years since I've seen the sun
It has been seven years since I have witnessed daylight
All day long I'm underground
I spend the entire day in a subterranean environment
And I've been thinking about the future
I have been contemplating on what is yet to come
I hope someday that I'll get away
I aspire to escape my current circumstance and surroundings
But the current keeps bringing me back around
I am forced to return to my present situation by the flow
Seems the only place for me is underground
It appears that the only suitable location for me is beneath the surface
So tomorrow when the sun comes out
The next day, when daylight returns
I'll be going down
I will be descending to an underground location once more
Going down
Descending into a lower place or state
Going down
Descending into a lower place or state

@DonDarkz
Same bro! Thanks for making me feel old, been listening to this since I was 10! Loved terminator haha
@craigbeasley3120
It was great for the movie, too. John Connor had basically gone off the grid and become a non-person, thinking his life now consisted of just needing to stay out of sight. The story of the song matches that, and the grind of the vocals and relentless tune was the waiting reality...
@HiroshiMizushima
Such an underrated song.
@mdmjr2468

@fafling
Fitting for an underrated movie.

This was such a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration. It could have only happened when it happened.
@koslisted9458
Pretty much one of the best live shows you'll ever see. Up there with NIN and Bare Naked Ladies in My opinion. Even Security rocks out in the aisle at Blue Man shows in Vegas.

Terminator 3 Ending credits. Beautiful song.
