Lyrics for Song: Down In The Depths
Lyrics for Album: Biography [2003]
With a million neon rainbows burning below me,
And a million blazing taxis raising a roar,
Here I sit, above the town,
In my pet-palliated gown,
Down in the depths
On the ninetieth floor
While the crowds in all the nightclubs punish the parquet,
And the bars are packed with couples calling for more,
I'm deserted and depressed
In my regal-eagle mess,
Down in the depths
On the ninetieth floor
When the only one you wanted wants another,
What's the use of swank and cash in a bank galore?
Why, even the janitor's wife
Has a perfectly good love life,
And here am I, facing tomorrow,
Alone in my sorrow,
Down in the depths
On the ninetieth floor
Down in the depth
On the ninetieth floor
With a million neon rainbows burning below me

Down In The Depths
Released on Lisa Stansfield's 2003 album Biography, 'Down In The Depths' stands as a poignant reflection on emotional vulnerability and the complexities of long-term relationships. The track exemplifies Stansfield's mature songwriting, blending her signature soulful vocal delivery with a polished production style that marked her evolution from her late 1980s pop hits. While the song does not rely on chart-topping radio appeal, it resonates deeply within her discography as a sophisticated exploration of heartbreak and introspection. Its inclusion on Biography highlights her continued ability to craft emotionally resonant music that balances personal narrative with universal themes of longing and resilience. |
