I wrote this after hearing the 2014 Afghan Whigs album "Do to the Beast".
I purposely auto-tuned the verses and used a laptop mic for the vocals to imitate a sound the Afghan Whigs had during one of their songs.
This song is about being in an unhealthy relationship, getting heartbroken, and medicating with codeine cough syrup aka "lean" to numb the pain.
*Also the drums are programmed, not acoustic
lyrics
Doubled Up, Going Down
When the questions and answers are the same
Those desires that you crave only breed suffering
Build your wall, hope it makes you feel safe
Baby you’re so brave are you afraid of being afraid?
I recall dancing with you in the dark
Now it hurts to sleep alone, I guess you done left your mark
Styrofoam cup
Doubled up
Tastes like I’m going down
While following lines of snow
When the blood hits it makes no sound
Because I was a slave to dancing on my grave
