The band initially based themselves at The Bayview pub in the Menzieshill district of Dundee, not too far from their native Dryburgh. From this pub, the band took their name. Shortly after they moved to The Doghouse, a respected music venue in Dundee's city centre, where they came to the attention of local music promoters, management and ever-growing fan-base.

Comin' Down
The View Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It took so long for me to come around,
They tell you, it smashes brain,
Drain you of all the blood you've left in your veins.
If you spare me a brew and a double bed,
You might give me the time to clear my head tonight,
With these stones you cast so fast,
I hear it, do you hear that sound,
Hear that now aloud, it's comin' down.
I'm not eager to be mean, I'm eager to be anyone I want to be.
If you spare me a brew and a double bed,
You might give me time to clear my head tonight,
With these stones you cast so fast,
It makes me think that we never last.
The View's song "Comin' Down" is a reflective tune about the aftermath of drug use and partying. The lyrics speak of a person who has finally come down from their high and realized the negative impact it has had on their life. The repetition of the phrase "comin' down" in the chorus drives home the idea that the high is over and it's time to face the consequences.
The first verse speaks of the warnings given by others about the dangers of drug use, but the singer is too caught up in the lifestyle to heed them. This is evidenced by the line "it took so long for me to come around." The second verse speaks of the desire to clear their head and figure things out, but the constant barrage of criticism from others makes it difficult.
The bridge of the song comes across as a plea for understanding. The singer is not trying to be mean, but rather trying to figure out who they really are. The repetition of the phrase "anyone I want to be" suggests that the person is struggling to find their true identity.
Overall, "Comin' Down" is a powerful song about the consequences of drug use and the desire for redemption.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm comin' down, comin' down,
I am experiencing a sensation of coming down from a high or elevated state.
It took so long for me to come around,
It has taken me a long time to change my perspective or behavior.
They tell you, it smashes brain,
People warn you that drugs can harm your brain.
Drain you of all the blood you've left in your veins.
Drugs can have serious physical and emotional effects on a person, leaving them feeling drained and depleted.
If you spare me a brew and a double bed,
If you give me a beer and a comfortable place to rest, where I can be alone with my thoughts,
You might give me the time to clear my head tonight,
It may allow me the opportunity to sort out my thoughts and feelings.
With these stones you cast so fast,
The hurtful things you say and do to me so quickly,
Makes me think that we will never last.
Makes me question whether our relationship will endure.
I hear it, do you hear that sound,
I am aware of a sound and I wonder if you hear it too.
Hear that now aloud, it's comin' down.
The sound is becoming louder and signals that something is going wrong.
I'm not eager to be mean, I'm eager to be anyone I want to be.
I do not intend to be cruel, I just want the freedom to define myself.

I like it and I like the View but I still have the feeling that this is kind of a generic punk/rock song.Â
