The Comedown
Ocean Alley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Couldn't get up
I think I'm off my head again
I know you're pretty fed up
'Cause I wanna come down
Put my feet on the ground, the ground, the ground, again
'Cause I wanna come down
I'm so, I'm so faded
Think I'm gonna disappear
I'm so, I'm so wasted
Do you think so
Kicking off my day again
Should I get up
I'm rolling off the bed again
Been feeling pretty fed up
'Cause I wanna come down
Put my feet on the ground, the ground, the ground, again
'Cause I wanna come down
I guess I'll see you around, around, around, around, around
I'm so, I'm so faded
Think I'm gonna disappear
I'm so, I'm so wasted
Do you think so
I'm so, I'm so faded
Think I'm gonna disappear
'Cause I'm so, well, I'm so wasted
The lyrics to Ocean Alley's song The Comedown seem to describe the emotions and feelings of someone who is struggling with addiction or substance abuse. The singer of the song is laying on their back and unable to get up, indicating that they might be feeling helpless and defeated. They admit to being "off their head again" and acknowledge that their loved ones are "pretty fed up" with their behavior.
The chorus of the song is where the singer expresses their desire to "come down" and put their feet on the ground again. Coming down can refer to the physical act of sobering up, but it can also imply a mental and emotional desire to break free from the effects of addiction. The repetition of the lyrics "I'm so, I'm so faded/Think I'm gonna disappear/I'm so, I'm so wasted/ Do you think so" highlights the confusion and desperation that the singer is feeling. The song ends with the singer admitting that they might be beyond help, saying "Think I'm gonna disappear/ 'Cause I'm so, well, I'm so wasted."
Overall, The Comedown is a poignant and honest portrayal of the struggles of addiction and the desire to break free from its grip. The haunting melody and the somber lyrics make the song feel like a plea for help, and it is a reminder of the importance of supporting and being there for loved ones who might be dealing with addiction.

you can take a look at Sticky Fingers which is a little bit more rock or reggae depending on what album you listen to, i reckon if you love these guys then you love Sticky Fingers, but also take a listen to DMAs and Ball Park Music cause they've got some good shit too
