Down Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Anderson Council 

Cover art for Down lyrics by Dave Gahan

one of my favorites on the hourglass album

"down on the ground, its where i'm bound"

i think the lyrics are about a person who is on the verge of death, it conjures up an imagery of lying in a field with a person, could be a loved one or a soul mate, just counting down the inevitable.

"and the world keeps turning..."
