It's Going Down
eddie 9v Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shoot up my veins where'd the good times go
My face is blue my heart is cold
Gambled on life but it's already been sold
It's goin down
I always lose what i had
It's goin down
Three days I'm up and movin down the line
Called for my baby but she said not this time
I'm drinkin heavy three bottles of wine
If my mama saw me she'd break down and cry
It's goin down
I get the blues so bad
Its goin down
I see the devils he's back
Call up some old friends they got what I need
All sorts of powders to last a few weeks
I know im guilty but at least im free
They may be bad people but there good to me.
In Eddie 9v's song "It's Goin Down," the lyrics depict a sense of desperation, addiction, and a downward spiral in the singer's life. The opening lines, "Oh my lord you don't want my soul, Shoot up my veins where'd the good times go," convey a feeling of hopelessness and the loss of joy in life. The reference to shooting up veins suggests drug addiction.
The following lines, "My face is blue my heart is cold, Gambled on life but it's already been sold," further emphasize the despair and a sense of vulnerability. The singer feels emotionally drained and disconnected, having taken risks but ultimately feeling that life has let him down.
The chorus, "It's goin down, I always lose what I had, It's goin down, I see the devils he's back," emphasizes the ongoing pattern of losing and encountering personal demons. The repetition of "goin down" suggests a destructive cycle or a downward spiral that the singer cannot escape. The mention of seeing the devils returning indicates the constant battle or struggle he faces against his inner demons.
In the second verse, the lyrics continue to depict the singer's downward spiral. "Three days I'm up and movin down the line, Called for my baby but she said not this time," suggests a continued struggle with addiction and failed attempts to mend relationships. The reference to drinking heavily and the potential disappointment of his mother further reinforce his self-destructive behavior and the toll it takes on his personal life.
The final lines introduce a sense of moral ambiguity; "Call up some old friends they got what I need, All sorts of powders to last a few weeks, I know I'm guilty but at least I'm free, They may be bad people but they're good to me." These lines illustrate the singer's reliance on substances to cope, rationalizing it as a way to escape reality. He recognizes the wrongdoing but finds solace in the support offered by his friends, even if they may not be the best influences.
Overall, "It's Goin Down" portrays a story of addiction, despair, and a continuous struggle with personal demons. It sheds light on the detrimental effects of substance abuse and the constant battle between seeking temporary relief and the consequences it brings.
