Way Down We Go Lyrics
Oh, Father tell me
Do we get what we deserve?
Oh, we get what we deserve
And way down we go
Oh way down we go
Say way down we go, oh-oh
Way down we go
Oh, you let your feet run wild
The time has come as we all fall on down
Yeah, before the fall
Do you dare to look them right in the eyes?
Oh, 'cause they will run you down
Down to the dark
Yes and they will run you down
Down til you fall, oh
And they will run you down
Down to your core,
Yes, you can go no more,
And way down we go
Oh way down we go,
Say way down we go,
Oh, cause they will run you down
Down to your core
Oh, way down we go
Oh,
Oh baby
Oh baby, yeah
Baby
Way down we go
Way down we go,
Oh way down we go,
Say way down we go
Way down we go
Do we get what we deserve?
Oh, we get what we deserve
Oh way down we go
Say way down we go, oh-oh
Way down we go
The time has come as we all fall on down
Yeah, before the fall
Do you dare to look them right in the eyes?
Down to the dark
Yes and they will run you down
Down til you fall, oh
And they will run you down
Down to your core,
Yes, you can go no more,
Oh way down we go,
Say way down we go,
Oh, cause they will run you down
Down to your core
Oh, way down we go
Oh baby
Oh baby, yeah
Baby
Way down we go
Oh way down we go,
Say way down we go
Way down we go

While we're all traversing life's slippery slope up to higher stable ground, and avoiding obstacles, we're one misstep away from a great slide, and many will go down in our wake?
@stacy10496 yup this is how it goes, we must not take life for granted, gravity of life always there to pull us down unconditionally even when we keep a third eye watching behind us :)

Very clear about the meaning in the first line and in the second verse: "Oh Father tell me, do we get what we deserve?" and "You let your feet run wild, Time has come as we oh, all go down. yeah, but for the fall, ooooh, my, do you dare to look me right in the eyes?" To me, this very clearly says you have to be careful how you live because you have to answer to God eventually. There is a measure of guilt in this song, and I think the lines: "'Cause they will run you down, down til the dark Yes and they will run you down, down til you fall And they will run you down, down til you go Yeah so you can't crawl no more" are about your actions that will follow you.
