Bottom Of The Well
James & Brian Eno Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you really wanna go on like this
Do you really wanna go on like this
Get to the bottom of the well
Do you really wanna go on like this
Do you really wanna go on like this
Do you really wanna go on like this
Get to the bottom of the well
The repeated lyrics in James & Brian Eno's song "Bottom Of The Well" convey a sense of exhaustion and frustration with the current state of things. The repetition of the phrase "Do you really wanna go on like this" implies a feeling of being stuck, both personally and collectively, with no clear way forward. The imagery of the well suggests a deep, dark, and possibly dangerous unknown - a place where one can potentially find answers, but also risks getting lost or trapped.
The phrase "Get to the bottom of the well" could be interpreted as a call to action, a challenge to face one's fears and explore the unknown, in order to find a way out of the current situation. It could also be seen as a warning, a reminder that delving too deep can have negative consequences. The song's sparse, atmospheric instrumentation adds to its sense of unease and ambiguity, creating a haunting backdrop for the cryptic lyrics.
