It's Going Down
T.r.u-L.i.f.e Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look at my body
I push it to the limit
I wanna party
But I don't know my limit
It starts off as a party
And ends up on the ground
I wanna live forever
But we're all going down
We're all going down
We're all going down
We're all going down
We're all going
We like to say sorry
But we don't ever mean it
But I might make a promise
And hope that you believe it
I look just like a liar
You look just look like a clown
But nothing really matters
Cuz we're all going down
We're all going down
We're all going down
We're all going down
We're all going
You started as a loner
Happy to have a mission
We just follow orders
And hope to be forgiven
There's bodies in the water
There's bodies in the ground
There's bodies in the river
We're all going down
We're all going down
We're all going down
We're all going down
There's bodies in the river and we're all going down
We're all going down




We're all going down
We're all going

Overall Meaning

In T.r.u-L.i.f.e's song "It's Going Down," the artist laments about the inevitability of eventual death for all of us, emphasizing the self-destructive tendencies of humans. The first stanza speaks of partying and taking one's body to the limit, without really knowing what the limit is. At first, the party is all fun and games, but it eventually leads to a tragic end, as everyone heads toward their inevitable mortality. The chorus repeats that we are all going down, a statement that feels like a foregone conclusion.


In the second stanza, T.r.u-L.i.f.e. speaks about the insincerity of apologies, how we are often unwilling to admit our mistakes, and the ease of lying to others. Everyone is trying to put on a facade, trying to look good in front of others, but it is all for naught. They speak of following orders and hoping for forgiveness, but the reality is that there will be no forgiveness in the end. The final stanza speaks of bodies in the water, on the ground, and in the river, hinting at the widespread havoc that humans have caused in their destructive tendencies.


Overall, T.r.u-L.i.f.e. seems to be trying to convey a message of acceptance that death is inevitable, but in the process, they're also shedding light on the grim realities of human existence. The song paints a melancholic picture of the human condition and how our actions often lead to our eventual downfall.
