Going Down
Lauri Mikkola Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanna fix this broken soul
I'll try to put these pieces together
Time keeps slipping away
You can be hiding forever
You
Don't have to shed your tears alone
And you
Need to come back to me
Please set me free
So come and save me
I'm going down going down
Come and save me
I'm going down going down
I'm sinking now
To the bottom of the ocean where the light is gone
So come and save me
I'm going down going down
This pain is taking over me
Didn't know how hard it would break me
I'm living like in prison
Give me just one reason to leave
Ooh
Time erases memories
Ooh
This grief is ripping me apart
Just follow your heart
So come and save me
I'm going down going down
Come and save me
I'm going down going down
I'm sinking now
To the bottom of the ocean where the light is gone
So come and save me
I'm going down going down
O-o-o-ooh o-o-ooh o-o-ooh
O-o-o-ooh o-o-ooh o-o-ooh
O-o-o-ooh o-o-ooh o-o-ooh




O-o-o-ooh o-o-ooh o-o-ooh
O-o-o-ooh o-o-ooh o-o-ooh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lauri Mikkola's Going Down express a plea for help from a person whose broken soul is on the verge of sinking into the dark depths of depression. They seek the comfort of another person and believe that by putting the pieces of their broken soul together, they can be saved. They are struggling to cope with their pain and grief as they slip away with time.


The lines "Don't have to shed your tears alone" show that they feel isolated and unable to deal with their feelings on their own. They need someone to come back to them and set them free, to save them from drowning in their misery. The imagery of sinking to the bottom of the ocean where the light is gone is symbolic of the bottomless pit of despair that they are spiraling towards.


The chorus emphasizes their need for help as they repeat the line "Come and save me, I'm going down" multiple times. They acknowledge that the pain is consuming them, and they need just one reason to leave this prison-like existence. They plead with the person to follow their heart and help them out of the darkness.


Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of desperation and a need for human connection and support. The person recognizes that they cannot do this on their own and is asking for someone to help them through this difficult time.
