Down to Hell Lyrics

[Intro]
Let's go

[Verse 1]
I don't know what you've heard, but I'm a cannon, I'm loose, I'm a wildfire
I don't care what you think about where I choose to draw my line
Sociopath, self-absorbed, egotistical asshole
Don't waste your breath, it's not a secret, believe it

[Chorus]
Move aside, make a hole for a waste of potential
Move along, nothing to see here, don't pay too much attention
I'm coming up, I'm going down to hell

[Verse 2]
You can say what you want about me, I stay cool, talking ice cold
You can want what I'm not or what I was, I can't hear you through the new sound
Insufferable, emotional graveyard, pretentious dick
Don't waste your time, it's not a secret, believe it

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm going down, I'm going down, I'm going down
I'm going down, I'm going down, way down

[Chorus]
Move aside, make a hole for a waste of potential
Move along, nothing to see here, don't pay too much attention
I'm coming up, I'm going down to hell
[Breakdown]
I wanna find somewhere to lose my mind
Dig around inside and go a little crazy!
I wanna find somewhere to lose my mind
Dig around inside and go a little crazy!

[Chorus]
Move aside, make a hole for a waste of potential
Move along, nothing to see here, don't pay too much attention
I'm coming up, I'm going down to hell
I'm going down to hell

About

Genius Annotation

“Down to Hell” is 2020’s Like a House on Fire fourth single and it talks about self-belief and self-determination, directing to anyone that pushes one’s to be something they don’t want, a common theme on the album. As Ben Bruce told Kerrang!:

“Down to Hell” is just a really fun one. There are a lot of different levels to that song. On one level, it’s Danny [Worsnop, vocalist] acknowledging his erratic tendencies and his willingness to lean into the crazy. But there’s another level where people who’ve been involved in our careers have tried to push us in directions that we didn’t necessarily want. There are numerous instances, some of the most infamous things like Danny’s drunk episode in Seattle, which was the result of people pushing us in that way. When Danny rejoined the band we made the joint decision that it would be a cold day in hell before we allowed anyone else to push us to be something we don’t want to be. It all ties into that theme of self-belief and self-determination.

What did Asking Alexandria say about "Down to Hell"?
Genius Answer

“Down To Hell,” that I listen to and I’m like, “Man, this is what I wish I could have written on [2013’s] From Death To Destiny, but I just wasn’t in the right mindset—none of us were.” It’s better that it’s coming out now, because we’re going to remember this record, and there’s going to be nothing but happy memories associated with it.

Ben Bruce, Kerrang!
