Down at the Ground at the Bottom of the Sea

Story Behind The Song

My first rock band, Human Resource Foundation, was playing a gig and we just started to jam, then the words just started to come as we were playing the chorus parts. The intro was in response to a girl leaving and me saying "carpe diem nonetheless". The verse parts came out of my self examination, recognizing that old sins got passed right onto me from the father and probably from his father. The apple falls close to the tree.

Song Description

Don't bring old habits or generational habits with you as you age...rather fight them head on and know that even if you screw up, there is still forgiveness and the ability to separate from the error, which in this song, can be cast to the bottom of the sea.

Lyrics

its a brand new day
our time to unwind in the sunshine
lift your chin towards the sky
throw out your broken valentines
out time to unwind, to unmind

she can't protect you
from the thoughts inside your head
the ghosts under your bed
you won't confront the source that breeds them or put a stop to the way you breed them
there is a hardline
you should have drawn when you were younger
to let go of this dangerous hunger
now its not just you
you both have fought to keep it together
your faces growing long as the war grows stronger

down at the ground at the bottom of the sea
down at the ground at the bottom of the sea
he said he'd take them sins
no condemnation
down at the ground at the bottom of the sea
you put me back together

the common shame
a father's vice beneath his son's disguise
then comes the lie
that the blood beneath veins
is your curse to bear and to never change

down at the ground at the bottom of the sea
down at the ground at the bottom of the sea
he said he'd take them sins
no condemnation
down at the ground at the bottom of the sea
you put me back together
