So low

Shiloh Dynasty's song 'So low' delves into the themes of loneliness, internal struggle, and the search for forgiveness. The lyrics pose introspective questions about loyalty and trust, asking who one would die or lie for, suggesting a deep contemplation of personal relationships and the value placed on them. The mention of the Bible juxtaposed with having a rifle indicates a conflict between morality and the need for self-protection, hinting at a troubled environment where trust is scarce.

The chorus, 'Cause I've been so low for so long,' is a raw expression of enduring sadness and a sense of being emotionally drained. The repetition emphasizes the prolonged nature of this feeling, conveying a sense of hopelessness. The artist's request for forgiveness from a higher power, coupled with the admission of sinning and unhealthy coping mechanisms like alcohol, paints a picture of someone grappling with guilt and seeking redemption. The language used is unfiltered, reflecting the authenticity of the emotions and the severity of the artist's mental state.

The song also touches on the theme of self-sabotage and the difficulty of maintaining relationships. The lines 'I tried my best, yeah / Only to fuck up / Goin' in and out of love' suggest a pattern of failed attempts at connection, possibly due to the artist's own actions or mental barriers. The plea for clarity on what is expected from them, 'Tell me what you really want from me, is that too much?' indicates a desire for direction and understanding from others, highlighting the complexity of human interaction and the struggle to meet expectations, both self-imposed and from others.
