In grandson's powerful anthem, the lyrics delve into the disillusionment and frustration of modern life. The protagonist reflects on societal expectations—such as pursuing a conventional career and lifestyle—that promise stability but ultimately lead to unfulfillment. The imagery of "floating through the atmosphere" suggests initial optimism and potential, which starkly contrasts with the harsh reality of hitting "rock bottom." This descent symbolizes a broader sense of collective disenchantment, exacerbated by systemic failures and misguided leadership. The repetitive questioning, "how did we get here?" underscores a yearning for understanding and direction amidst chaos. Ultimately, the song serves as a poignant critique of the societal pressures that stifle individuality and progress, urging listeners to question the status quo.
Rock Bottom
Lyrics
Tell me how did we get here?
And where the fuck do we go now?
First I was floating through the atmosphere
But now I'm looking up at rock bottom, bottom (bottom, bottom)
Everybody told me ever since I was young
I should bite my tongue
Couple kids, picket fence
Maybe earn a nice income
It'll get you some peace of mind
Stepping on everything'll be just fine
Then I look up, found they must've left me behind
Send shivers down my spine
Tell me how did we get here?
And where the fuck do we go now?
First I was floating through the atmosphere
But now I'm looking up at rock bottom, bottom (bottom, bottom)
Next door neighbor said I better get a 9:00 to 5:00
Just to stay alive
Talking 'bout change, boy, that's nothing but a waste of time
Now I, now I wish that I read the signs better 'cause the writing was on the wall
And now we got front row seats, watch the system fall
'Cause look who's in control
Tell me how did we get here?
And where the fuck do we go now?
First I was floating through the atmosphere
But now I'm looking up at rock bottom, bottom (bottom, bottom)
Dam-dam, badada-dam, badada-bam-bam, badada-bam-bam
Badada-dam, badada-dam, badada-bam-bam, badada-bam-bam
Badada-dam, badada-dam, badada-bam-bam, badada-bam-bam
Badada-dam, badada-dam, la-la la la la la la la la
Badada-dam, badada-dam, badada-bam-bam, badada-bam-bam
Badada-dam, badada-dam, la-la la la la la la la la
Badada-dam, badada-dam, badada-bam-bam, badada-bam-bam
Badada-dam, badada-dam, ('cause look who's in control)
'Cause look who's in control
Tell me how did we get here?
And where the fuck do we go now?
First I was floating through the atmosphere
But now I'm looking up at rock bottom, bottom
Tell me how did we get here?
And where the fuck do we go now?
First I was floating through the atmosphere
But now I'm looking up at rock bottom, bottom (bottom, bottom)
