Rock Bottom
Hailee Steinfeld Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What are we fighting for?
Seems like we do it just for fun
In this, this stupid war
We play hard with our plastic guns

Breathe deep, bottle it up
So deep until it's all we got
Don't speak, just use your touch
Don't speak before we say too much

You hate me now and I feel the same way
You love me now and I feel the same way
We scream and we shout
And make up the same day, same day

Oh, we're on the right side of rock bottom
And I hope that we keep falling
We're on the good side of bad karma
'Cause we keep on coming back for more
We're on the right side of rock bottom
Into you, I just keep crawling
You're the best kind of bad something
'Cause we keep on coming back for more

You get under my skin
More than anyone's ever been
But when we lay in bed
You hold me hard 'til I forget

That you hate me now and I feel the same way
You love me now and I feel the same way
We scream and we shout
And make up the same day, same day

Oh, we're on the right side of rock bottom
And I hope that we keep falling
We're on the good side of bad karma
'Cause we keep on coming back for more
We're on the right side of rock bottom
Into you, I just keep crawling
You're the best kind of bad something
'Cause we keep on coming back for more

Keep on coming back for more
'Cause we keep on coming back for more

What are we fighting for?
Seems like we do it just for fun
In this, this just stupid war
We play hard with our plastic guns

Oh, we're on the right side of rock bottom
And I hope that we keep falling
We're on the good side of bad karma
'Cause we keep on coming back for more
We're on the right side of rock bottom
Into you, I just keep crawling
You're the best kind of bad something
'Cause we keep on coming back for more

Keep on coming back for more
'Cause we keep on coming back for more




Keep on coming back for more
'Cause we keep on coming back for more

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hailee Steinfeld's song Rock Bottom is a story of a relationship where the two people involved have reached their lowest point, or rock bottom. The lyrics are about two people who fight with each other for fun, with plastic guns as a metaphor for their play-fighting. The couple keeps everything inside until the point where they can't hold it anymore, leading them to scream and shout, but eventually, they make up on the same day. The song tells the story of the couple's relationship, and how they seem to be stuck in a cycle of love and hate.


The chorus of the song, "Oh, we're on the right side of rock bottom, and I hope that we keep falling," suggests that the couple is addicted to their toxic relationship and are somehow satisfied with it. They keep coming back for more because they are on the good side of bad karma, and the singer is crawling back into the relationship even though she knows it's not the best for her. The song is a reflection of how in some relationships, even when the two people know it's not good for them, they keep fighting for the relationship to survive.


In general, the song has a rather upbeat and catchy rhythm that strongly contrasts with the darker tones of the lyrics. This contrast provides a unique viewing experience to listeners, as the lyrics may be interpreted differently depending on personal experiences, even though the beat remains highly attractive.

I was listening to this song a few days ago and my mother commented how she likes these kinds of songs. Songs which are happy and joyful and have energy, but are not the kind which are sung powerfully. Like, you know how usually happy songs are either very soft are either very loud? This is neither. This is just light. When she said that, I realised that I don't have any other song with the same kind of feel as this song. My playlist mostly defines happy songs as either very loud and powerful or very soft and calm. I was wondering why I did not have any of those kinds of songs in my playlist. That was when I realised that these days people do not release such kinds of songs anymore. I would love it if they start again, because this kind of feeling is a completely different one. Happy, but light yet energetic. The kinds of songs which make you want to half close your eyes, smile and either run or raise your hands high. But I did find a few, which I have arranged in the order of most "half close your eyes, smile and either run or raise your hands high" to least. But none of them had the exact kind of emotion I was looking for.
