All the Way Down: Chapter 2 Lyrics
it sat beside his bed as near as it could go
he read it every night just before he'd go
asleep for the night with his dreams in a fight, god save his soul
his mama'd say to him, don't be afraid son. there's no way you'll go
all the way down
all the way down
all the way down
all the way down
his mama tells him, read it and you'll be alright
he took its every word and made it his life
all the way down
all the way down
all the way down
all the way down
he never stood a chance with his coughing at night
he never thought we'd ever make it out of the light now
he read it every night just before he'd go
asleep for the night with his dreams in a fight, god save his soul
his mama'd say to him, don't be afraid son. there's no way you'll go
all the way down
all the way down
all the way down
he took its every word and made it his life
all the way down
all the way down
all the way down
he never thought we'd ever make it out of the light now

Face value idea: "it" is the bible? "all the way down" meaning hell? I don't think it's right for one minute. I really believe that there's something deeper in this, but I'm not quite sure what it is.
There are two versions of All The Way Down Chapter 2 Here are the new versions lyrics;
Don't trust her, she'll break your heart Would you change? Would you? Hold tears you wont forget Would you change? All the way down x4 Lie back, close your eyes Would you change? Would you? Think of anything Would you change? All the way down x4
All the way down
didnt know bout the new version, the old one seems to be about religion. this song sounds as if it was written before chapter 1 and i wondered if they always had aspirations of writing a prolouge.
i prefer the vinyl version
i think it is definately about religion, the second verse "his mama tells him, read it and you'll be alright he took its every word and made it his life" makes it sound like his 'mama' has pushed him towards religion by making him read the bible to avouid goin 'all the way down' which i think in this term means hell
the newer version of JDI cd is a lot better! this song still rocks though :D
I've only heard the version posted by Burns and to be honest its one of, if not my favorite biffy song.
