Rock Bottom is the 5th song of the a modern tragedy vol. 3 album. The song speaks about reaching the very rock bottom of society, at the lowest level possible, while also antagonizing the idea of a ‘'normal life’‘. This becomes apparent when he sings about having kids and a white picket fence.
[Chorus]
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)
[Verse 1]
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, step in line, everything'll be just fine
Then I looked up, found they must've left me behind
Sent shivers down my spine
[Chorus]
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)
[Verse 2]
My next-door neighbor said I better get a 9 to 5
Just to stay alive
Talkin' 'bout change, boy, that's nothin' 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
[Chorus]
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)
[Bridge]
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-trol)
'Cause look who's in control
[Chorus]
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)
