Going under

(Edward McBride)

The lyrics describe a woman who is agonizingly in a deep downward depression. She relates her depression to that of someone who is drowning, it causes her further panic attacks, fear, and hopelessness. It is a spiral that may end in taking her own life.

I am going under
I am drowning
Forget all asunder
Please stop clowning
I am going deeper
sinking slowly
You thought I 
was a keeper

Chorus
Drowning in my tears
A hard days night
Feeling all my fears
but I cannot fight
Drowning in the water
sinking in the water
Going down, going down
going down, down, down

The water is deep
his hand on my head
where is the creep
as I go to the Ocean bed
It is depression
don't put me down
I attend psycho sessions
You know I will drown

Chorus
Drowning in my tears
A hard days night
Feeling all my fears
but I cannot fight
Drowning in the water
sinking in the water
Going down, going down
going down, down, down

It's a slippery slope
I am slipping fast
don't give me dope
the die is cast
I wear the anchor
your lack of love
it adds to my rancor
I will find above

Chorus
Drowning in my tears
A hard days night
Feeling all my fears
but I cannot fight
Drowning in the water
sinking in the water
Going down, going down
going down, down, down
