Goin' Down
Jack The Ripper Lyrics

I hold my head in my hands
Feeling overwhelmed by emotions or thoughts.

And I don't know what to do
Being unsure of how to deal with the situation at hand.

I hold my head in my hands
Repeating the gesture to emphasize distress.

She falls down when I bend
The person causing harm or damage to someone weaker.

Don't understand
Puzzled by something that happened or was said.

Why in a zombie movie
Questioning the logic of horror movies.

All humans have to flee
Noticing horror movies often portray humans running away from zombies.

What we all wanna be ?
Asking about human's aspirations in life.

I had a strange dream
Remembering an unusual and puzzling dream.

And I don't know what it means
Feeling confused and uncertain about the dream's significance.

I fix my head at my feet, now
Bending down to focus on one's thoughts and issues.

I look headless in the street
Feeling disconnected and lost.

"Forgive me baby" she said
Hearing someone who wronged you apologizing.

"I can't stand you no more !
An admission of dislike or hatred for someone.

I feel so down today"
Feeling depressed or upset about something.

Then she fell off the floor...
Describing a person fainting or collapsing from shock or sickness.

"Mirror, mirror, tell me frankly
Seeking honest reflection and feedback.

Who's the funniest of all ?"
Inquiring about someone's humor or personality.

My blood is like wine, in my mind
Feeling intoxicated or delusional.

I'm so drunk, I'm a swine
Identifying oneself as being unclean, immoral, or foolish.

Just like you
Hinting at shared shame or guilt with another person.

Oh no, tell me no
Refusing to believe or acknowledge something unpleasant.

I'm not the man that I thought...
Realizing that one's self-image may not match reality.

So long ! So long ! So long... Bye ! Bye !
Saying farewell in an exaggerated, dramatic fashion.

So in the end, you have to speak to pigmen
Metaphor for talking to unpleasant or undesirable people.

You wonder what they mean
Contemplating the meaning behind interactions with difficult people.

- Piggy, do you love me ?
Asking for affection from someone disliked or rejected.

Are you from planet Mars ?
Insinuating that the other person is strange or not of this world.

- ...
The other person does not respond.

- Well, I guess that you are !
Asserting one's belief that the other person is indeed strange or abnormal.

Down so down I feel so down today
Repeating the feeling of sadness and depression.

I feel so down from my nose to my toes...
Expressing how pervasive the feeling of sadness and depression is.

So in the end, I knew I lost my mind
Acknowledging that one's mental faculties may be compromised.

I pulled my head, I pulled it off my hands
Removing oneself from one's thoughts or emotions.

Down in a box, upon a shelf
Metaphor for hiding one's troubles or pain.

So she won't have to face me once again
Avoiding interactions with someone who caused pain or harm.

Down in a box, upon a shelf...
Repeating the metaphor of hiding away from one's pain or issues.

All actors have for tasks
Recognizing that the duty of actors is to reveal the truth hidden beneath the mask.

To pull away the masks
To reveal the true self underneath pretense and deception.

For we all hide our faces
Acknowledging that most people are not transparent with their true feelings or intentions.

Beneath a false human grace
Describing the facade that people put up in order to fit in with societal expectations.

Piggy, do you love me ?
Repeating the request for affection from someone undesirable.

Tell me you love me !
Insisting on receiving the desired response from the other person.

Piggy, do you love me ?
Repeating the question of affection, hoping for a different response.

Tell me you do...
Desiring to hear positive expression of fondness or love from the other person.
