It's Going Down
DJ D-Sharp Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was the toast of the town and she drunk it
I had a run of good luck and she ran it right into the ground
And now she's puttin' on a show and I get to play the clown
I had the wind in my sails and she took it
I had the world by the tail and she shook it
I reached out for a life line and she threw me a noose
[Chorus: ]
She's living it up,and I'm tryin' to live it down
Just when I got it all together , it's all about to come unwound
Everybody laughin' behind my back, baby sure is a sad old sound
She's out there livin it up and I'm trying to live it down
I had my ducks in a row and she shot 'em
I had my eggs in a basket she dropped 'em
I threw her outta the house but she was back like a boomarang
Sometimes you get the honey, sometime all you get is the stang
[Chorus: ]
She's living it up, and I'm tryin' to live it down
Just when I got it all together , it's all about to come unwound
Everybody laughin' behind my back, baby sure is a sad old sound
She's out there livin it up and I'm trying to live it down
She's a livin it up and I may never live it down

He had achieved success and prosperity, only to have it all taken away by someone close to him. The metaphorical "she" in the song represents a person who caused the singer's downfall. She is portrayed as someone who has turned her back on him and is living a life of luxury while he is struggling to regain his footing. The lyrics are replete with imagery of success and failure, highlighting the stark contrast between the two.
The repeated phrase "She's living it up, and I'm trying to live it down" underscores the sense of injustice felt by the singer. Despite his best efforts, he is unable to escape from the shadow of his past and the actions of his adversary. The lyrics are a poignant reminder of the fragility of success and the ease with which it can be taken away. The singer has been humbled by his experience, but he refuses to give up hope and continues to strive towards a better future.
In conclusion, DJ D-Sharp's "It's Going Down" is a powerful testament to the human spirit and the resilience of the human soul. Despite the setbacks and disappointments that life can throw in our way, we have the strength to overcome them and emerge stronger and more determined than ever before.
