When Everything Went Ground
Lennex Lyrics

is swept under the door
you whore don't ignore
flashing signs of disconnect
train wreck disrespect
my father's moral views
don't you misuse
your powers as a bitch
chorus
that's when everything went ground
a tremor in the town
you've never seen this side of me before
although you dragged me down
I never made a sound
until I found that letter in your drawer
and every photograph faked laugh
I'll give precision faith neglect
what the heck did I say heck
I meant to say Fuck You
I'm feeling kind of blue
but watch me turn to red warhead
I am fed up and I want to let you
[chorus]
that's when everything went ground
a tremor in the town
you've never seen this side of me before
although you dragged me down
I never made a sound
until I found that letter in your drawer
that's when I found out that you were a whore
knees on the floor
I checked your middle drawer and not it's time to
settle the score
I've got to be a man and take a stand erase your nam-e
your guilty fashion is a waste of time
because I'm innocent
that's when I found out that you were a whore
knees on the floor
I checked your middle drawer and not it's time to
settle the score
I've got to be a man and take a stand erase your nam-e
your guilty fashion is a waste of time
because I'm innocent
that's what I said
that's what I said
that's what I said
I'm innocent
that's what I said
that's what I said
that's what I said
I'm innocent
that's what I said
that's what I said
that's what I said
that's what I said
that's what I said
that's what I said
that's what I said
that's what I said
that's what I said
that's what I said
The lyrics of Lennex's song "When Everything Went Ground" seem to be a furious retort of a man who has discovered his partner's infidelity. He is angry as everything he has done for her has been treated with disrespect and ungratefulness. The first verse of the song makes it abundantly clear that he has been keeping up with her infidelity for a long time but "everything he does for her is swept under the door". The second line of the verse shows how displeased he is with regards to the disconnect between them. The man believes that his partner's moral views have been compromised as she has been taking advantage of the relationship to fool around. The word 'bitch' in the last line is an insult he uses to describe his partner, projecting his hatred.
The chorus of the song talks about the turning point for their relationship when he discovered a letter in her drawer, most likely from the person she was seeing other than him. The stanza repeats the phrase 'that's when everything went ground', suggesting that this was the moment that changed everything. The phrase 'tremor in the town' could suggest that he is trying to connect his pain to the pain of natural disasters, which could show how detrimental the fallout has been for him.
The second verse reiterates the pain that the man feels as he discovers more deceit through faked photographs and neglect from his partner's side. He is feeling blue and wants to turn to Red Warhead, indicating that he is now uncontrollably angry. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the discovery of the letter as the turning point, and the overall lyrics portray a sense of empowerment over leaving his partner who is guilty of breaking his heart.
