Been Down So Long

Been Down So Long
Well, I've been down so goddamn long
That it looks like up to me
Well, I've been down so very damn long
That it looks like up to me
Yeah, why don't one of you people
A-come on and set me free?

I said, warden, warden, warden
Won't you break your lock and key?
I said, warden, warden, warden
Won't ya break your lock and key?
Yeah, come along here, mister
Come on and a-let the poor boy be
Baby, baby, baby
Won't you get down on your knees?
Baby, baby, baby
Won't you get down on your knees?
Come on, little darlin'
Come on and give your love to me, oh yeah
Well, I've been down so goddamn long
That it looks like up to me
Well, I've been down so very damn long
That it looks like up to me
Yeah, why don't one you people
Come on
Come on
Come on and set me free?
La canción 'Been Down So Long' de The Doors describe la sensación de estar en un lugar oscuro y abrumador durante tanto tiempo que cualquier cosa positiva parece inalcanzable, como estar tan abajo que incluso lo que está arriba empieza a verse como una ilusión...
