Get Down
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I got this great idea
About why I got stuck in reverse
I was so out of control
It just got worse
I hope you have more sense than I
Side step the curse
I don't know just which came first
In the spiral
Threatening my survival
It's come time to get down...
It's time to get down, boots to the ground
No, I won't stop 'til I hear the bell sound
Keep your head up 'cuz the truth just cut
No quick fix when your caught in a rut
What I gotta do to get right sized
Think I'm despised when I look through the eyes of another
Not mine to discover
What the next man thinks is none of my fucking buisness
I then I think what is this?
Illusion that I can fix
You name it. Hey
The story stays the same
Any trouble you can name
Just go straight into accept it
You name it. Hey
It's time to get down
To the ground
So simple yet profound
In the now, that's why we're here
Inspiration I've been waiting all my life
I'm set free, it happened
I won't look back and think twice
How it's meant to be
Something's happened
A sudden slap in the right place
In my face, I thank you
You always came through for me
It's how it's meant to be
I'm gonna get down
Because I can't stay high
All of the time
I know the time is right
And I realize
In the depth of my mind
It's so immense, but not intense and
I delight every day and way
Feel fine in the game we play
I won't make haste
And I won't make waste
I just unwind
And take my time
I then I think what is this?
Illusion that I can fix
You name it. Hey
The story stays the same
Any trouble you can name
Just go straight into accept it
You name it. Hey
It's time to get down
To the ground
So simple yet profound
In the now, that's why we're here
Inspiration I've been waiting all my life
I'm set free, it happened
I won't look back and think twice
How it's meant to be
Something's happened
A sudden slap in the right place
In my face, I thank you
You always came through for me
It's how it's meant to be
