Muddy Water
Shelly Fairchild Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know when I've been so down
The sky is dark,
The moon is blue
I don't know what I'm gonna do
It's like I'm falling down into muddy water
Well the National Anthem has come and gone,
And white noise,
A blue moon,
Sitting here waiting up on you,
It's like I'm falling down into muddy water
The clock on the wall keeps rollin' on,
2 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 4 o'clock, 5
Baby, you still ain't home
Well, I've fought some sleep, in a straight back chair
Morning comes and you still ain't here,
Roll on, I've had enough,
Holding on to faithless love,
It's like I'm falling down into muddy water.
The clock on the wall keeps rollin' on,
2 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 4 o'clock, 5
And Baby, you still ain't home,
Now you left me here and went out on the town,
I don't know when I've been so down,
The sky is dark,
The moon is blue,
I don't know what I'm gonna do,
It's like I'm falling down into muddy water
It's like I'm falling down into muddy water
I'm falling down into muddy water
I'm falling down into muddy water
I'm falling down into muddy water
I'm falling down into muddy water
I'm falling down into muddy water
The lyrics to Shelly Fairchild's song "Down Into Muddy Water" tell the story of a woman left alone at home while her partner goes out on the town. She's feeling down and helpless as she watches the clock tick by and her partner fails to return home. The mood of the song is one of sadness and desperation, as the woman tries to hold onto her faith in a love that seems to be failing her.
The repeated line "It's like I'm falling down into muddy water" is a metaphor for the woman's emotional state. She feels like she's sinking deeper and deeper into a dark, murky place where she can't see a way out. The use of imagery like the dark sky and the blue moon adds to the sense of hopelessness and despair.
The chorus of the song builds in intensity, with the clock ticking away and the woman's anxiety mounting. The lyrics suggest that she's been waiting for her partner all night, and as morning comes, she's still alone. The final repetition of "I'm falling down into muddy water" feels like a cathartic release of the woman's pent-up emotions.
Overall, "Down Into Muddy Water" is a poignant reminder of the pain of waiting for someone who may never return. It captures the feeling of being trapped in a hopeless situation and struggling to hold onto hope.
