(7) Formed in 2010, LORD is a loud trio from Portland, Oregon, with a fondness for fret fingering. Inspired by instrumental works from groups like King Crimson, Krallice, and The Cancer Conspiracy, their sequentially titled 7 song debut "I" presents half an hour of cascading guitars, rattling bass lines, and anxious, algorithmic rhythms. Balancing their tendency toward heaviness with interludes that are occasionally curious, occasionally sentimental, and occasionally academic, the group creates complex music that is equal parts catharsis and exploratory étude. With a dose of DIY and some consequent rough edges, LORD sounds like what Robert Fripp might sound like if he was his own, angry younger brother.

Going Down
Lord Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't like me for what I'm not"
In every aspect of my life
Talk the talk and take the blame
Stand up for what I feel is right
And feel no shame
Take no shit from anyone
Speak my mind and do the time
For my views
[Chorus:]
Going down - I stand behind the choices I make
Going down - Be they wrong or right
Going down - I see fires of hell below me
Live and die an honest man
So take me away...
Every day another test
Run the gauntlet, walk the line
So live your life to be the best
Every time
Not a rebel or the devil
No false facade, I'm true to me
Stand up to the bastards
And know I'm free
[Solos: lt]
[Chorus x2]
The lyrics to Lord's song Going Down are those of an individual who values being true to themselves and taking responsibility for their actions. The opening lines, "Judge me for who I am, Don't like me for what I'm not," suggest that the singer believes that they should be evaluated based on their true character, rather than based on any false pretenses they may try to present. The following lines, "Talk the talk and take the blame, Stand up for what I feel is right, And feel no shame," indicate that they are willing to confront challenges and stand up for their beliefs, regardless of any negative consequences they may encounter. Even as a "sinner," the singer remains resolute in their principles and beliefs, making no apologies for their convictions.
The chorus of the song reinforces the singer's sense of conviction in their choices. They stand by their decisions, both right and wrong, and are prepared to face the consequences. The line "Going down - I see fires of hell below me" suggests that they are fully aware of the potential consequences of their actions, but are committed to living an honest and authentic life. The lyrics suggest that the singer is constantly being tested and challenged, but remains committed to living the best life they can, even if that means being labeled a "rebel" by others.
