Going Under
Rockers Hi-Fi Lyrics

Pit patter little raindrops keep falling on my window pane
Small raindrops are creating a tapping sound as they hit my window

the city calling me out into the night
The allure of the city at night is beckoning me to leave my house

with promises of pleasures and sweet delight
The city is offering tempting and enjoyable experiences

it's wrong
The decision to indulge in these experiences is morally questionable

it's oh so wrong
The action is extremely and undeniably immoral

but I want it
Despite the immorality, I have a desire to partake in these experiences

to be right
I am hoping that my questionable actions will somehow seem justified

now you got me walking on the sidewalk
I am now walking on the pavement

talking, moving, looking
I am interacting with my surroundings

stopping
I am halting my movement

farting like a dog
I am passing flatulence in a manner similar to a dog

barking
I am vocalizing a bark-like sound

now the raindrops keep on landing on my face like spelter
The raindrops are heavily and incessantly hitting my face

each one branding me
Each raindrop is leaving a mark and influencing my identity

showing me who I am
The raindrops are revealing deeper aspects of my identity that I may not have been aware of

...don't give a damn...
I am apathetic towards the implications that the marks on my face may have on my identity

now you got me walking through the clubland again
I am now moving through an area known for its nightlife

looking through the smiles
I am examining the expressions of those around me

each one a friend
The people in this environment are behaving as if they are my friends

none a dem none a dem
In reality, none of these individuals are my genuine friends

and this is
The following statement is true of my current situation

oh so
To a very high degree

demanding
My current environment and lifestyle is placing a significant amount of pressure on me

cause at night I have a million dreams and then I wake
When I dream, I have numerous and diverse aspirations for my life

I pray the lord my soul to take
I am asking for divine intervention in my life

me away from this vanity
I want freedom from my narcissistic behavior

from this e-fuelled
I want to avoid the influence of electronic technology and stimulation

love and insanity
I want to escape from the obsession and craziness that accompany romantic love

now the day is coming
Morning is approaching

and the party people start their running home
The individuals who were out all night are now returning to their homes

and if they'll miss
If these individuals miss

being all alone
The freedom of being entirely independent and unburdened

leave me out to dry
Abandon me to face the consequences of my actions on my own

hang me on for a line and I'll tell you no lie
If someone attempts to hold me accountable for my actions, I will not deceive them

too much pressure is sending me
The high amount of environmental and personal pressure is overwhelming me

can't you see can't you see can't you see can't you see ?
I am pleading for someone to acknowledge the distress that I am feeling

I'm going under
I am gradually losing my sense of self and control

and I can't turn round
I feel as though I cannot escape the situation that has taken hold of me

each flake of life
Every facet of my life

flowing through mi vein
Actively influencing my thoughts and actions

mashing up mi brain
Distracting and confusing my thoughts and actions

too much cocaine
I have consumed an excessive amount of cocaine, leading to severe impairment and damage

the morning calling me back to bed
The day is beginning and I feel mentally and physically exhausted

hear wha him said
I am hearing the voice of my conscience, warning me of my foolish behavior

"You're going under and you can't turn round"
I am beyond the point of no return and must accept the consequences of my actions

the night time calling me out into the city lights
I feel drawn to the allure of the city's nightlife

to wrong my rights
I am making choices that contradict my moral principles

a million lights across the city burn bright
The various entertainment options are appealing and almost impossible to resist

is it any wonder
It's unsurprising

I'm going under
I am on a downward spiral

and I can't turn round
I am unable to reverse or exit my current situation
