about
Life Down Here was the third track written for Blackened Sea. The song was first played at a 2011 show at Burger Records in Fullerton. It was written before the decision to make Blackened Sea a concept album but the lyrics remained unchanged as they fit the overall theme.
The drum break was added because the band felt that complex drum beat used throughout the song was strong enough to have its own section.
lyrics
I'm standing on my own
There's nothing you can show
It's you that's killing me
I'm the one thing you can't be
Stuck in this place again
Stuck in this place
There's nothing I can send
Stuck in this place again
Stuck in this place
This will never end
Standing in a cell
You can only sit and dwell
The lock's so fucking tight
Let's break it and take flight
Stuck in this place again
Stuck in this place
There's nothing I can send
Stuck in this place again
Stuck in this place
This will never end
