When I was in high school, I discovered this upbeat and extremely underrated song by means of Itunes’s free song of the week.
Come on all your good friends are here waiting this one out
You’ve gotta come back down
You’ve gotta come back down
Look around you you’re the only one dragging this outYou’ve gotta come back down
You’ve gotta come back downAll of your wallowing is unbecoming
All of your wallowing is unbecomingYou’ve gotta take it on your own from here
It’s getting pathetic and I’m almost done here
You’ve gotta take it on your own from here
It’s getting pathetic and I’m almost done hereWhat you set out to kill off has been gone some time now
You’ve gotta come back down
You’ve gotta come back down
Head out any further and you might just forget howYou’ve gotta come back down
You’ve gotta come back downAll of your wallowing is unbecoming
All of your wallowing is unbecomingYou gotta take it on your own from here
It’s getting pathetic and I’m almost done here
You’ve gotta take it on your own from here
It’s getting pathetic and I’m almost done hereAll of your wallowing is unbecoming
All of your wallowing is unbecoming
You’ve gotta take it on your own from here
It’s getting pathetic and I’m almost done hereYou’ve gotta take it on your own from here
It’s getting pathetic and I’m almost done here
You’ve gotta take it on your own from hereYou’ve gotta come back down
You’ve gotta come back down
You’ve gotta come back down
You’ve gotta come back downYou’ve gotta come back down
You’ve gotta come back down
My favorite verse from this song is hands down “What you set out to kill off has been gone sometime now”. When your goal becomes a dead horse that you won’t stop beating, the ensuing wallowing truly is unbecoming.
At its core, “Come Back Down” is an advisory song against holding grudges and losing your original wholesome goals.
In short:
DON’T: Be like Darth Vader and immerse yourself in the Dark Side because of ill obsessions.
DO: Be like Anakin Skywalker and return to the Light after remembering your true self.
