Down Low
Spine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gathered tense on this locus
You could not penetrate
To soothe or calm me
Down low here, pain won't find her way
Down low here, she won't find her way
Opposition on this flex
Drawn out through some method
I protect myself
Down low here, pain won't find her way
Down low here, she won't find her way
Send a message to my unborn child
No lies can pretend I've not failed you before time
I so much want it to work this time
But I back away before it starts to die.
And you work a little closer move by my side
And take the liberty of control over a weak heart
Generate confusion and dischord
Cause these threads to unravel and fray
Could you ask for more?
Down low here.
In "Down Low," Spine explores the feeling of being lost and alone in the darkness while simultaneously attempting to protect oneself from the pain that could come with vulnerability. The first verse describes the sense of isolation and tension that the singer is experiencing, likening it to a physical location. The singer feels closed off from others and unable to be soothed or calmed. However, the chorus presents a solution to this pain, encouraging the listener to go "down low" where the pain cannot reach them. The repetition of this phrase emphasizes the desire to escape the hurt and find some measure of safety.
The second verse introduces the theme of protection, as the singer describes clutching their own fingers in opposition. Through some undescribed method, the singer has drawn out their defenses and put up a guard against further pain. Yet, even in this guarded state, the singer expresses a desire to connect with others. The bridge introduces a new level of vulnerability by addressing an unborn child. The singer acknowledges past failures and the fear of making the wrong choice again. The final lines suggest that the pain may become even greater with the introduction of someone new, as the threads that are currently holding the singer together begin to fray.
Overall, "Down Low" touches on universal themes of isolation, protection, and vulnerability. The imagery of darkness and tension create a palpable sense of discomfort, while the repeated chorus offers a glimmer of hope for escape from that pain.

My mother had an MRI in Jan this year.Its been reported that the effective canal diameter at L3-4 and L5-S1 levels is 20mm and 14.5mm respectively where a mild bulge is seen which it says is causing mild bilateral neural recess narrowing with compression over traversing nerve roots at these levels.It further concludes: changes of lumbar spondylosis and grade II anterolisthesis at L5-S1.Is this situation serious enough for a surgery and will this be TLIFF.I wonder how much it will cost in INDIA

14 years and I'm still suffering. had an accident on the job November 2003, haven't been the same since. now for the last 2 months I've been suffering leg weakness and buckling when I walk. MRI isn't until February. this pain and weakness are impossible.

I have to do lower back stretches immediately upon getting out of bed every morning, and it helps for that day only until I sleep again. I'm like a cripple when I first get up, after the stretches I'm fine, although I can tell there's a problem there, it doesn't prevent me from whatever I have to do that day. Bending over stiffens my back again, but it goes away if I'm not doing it too long. I've been doing this now for several years. I don't think there is a way my back will heal itself, and I guess if it keeps getting worse I'll need some sort of intervention; I will try to avoid medications though.

@RITAb Hi Rita, sorry to hear of your back problems, I know how bad they can be. I have refused previa and other such drugs as I know they build brittle bone and do not help with mortality. They can also cause very bad side effects, so I just take vitamins D3, K2, magnesium, also B complex, folic acid, and also, calcium caps (3x a week only), and only after dinner separately as calcium interferes with magnesium. Mag is the element that helps with bone strengthening. With me it is hips and back, and I can say that if you do stretches, which are very hard at first, they get easier with time, and you might see a lessening of bone loss, and perhaps reversal. Some weight resistance is recommended, but only do as you feel you can. Also the stretches are for herniations to free up the spinal nerves. Good luck to you, don't give up.

I have the same symptoms as you, when I get up in the morning I can't even dress myself or wash my face as the pain is so bad , I force myself to stay on my feet with leaning on something & massage my lower back till I can stand without help ,after 10 to 15 minutes I can get ready & start to feel better as the morning goes on ,I'm waiting for x-ray results next week

i'm 18, I've had back pain for about 10 years after i had an injury to my spine. i see a MSK specialist and an MRI.. results was a lump on the lower part of my spine, i was referred to a physiotherapist and now have been discharged as my movements reduced. I've been told the next step is injections containing a high dosage of pain relief and in the meantime if i do vigorous movements i will have to have a emergency operation.. can you tell me if this is necessary?
