about

Shackled Down is one of Stone Salad's famous '15 minute songs,' meaning it only took him 15 minutes to write. However, while the composition may have been solid, recording the song was an ordeal. It was recorded too slow, and there was not enough time left to fix it. If you are a saavy audiophile, you will notice that the track seems choppy at spots. This is because the song is sped up 6% from the original speed. Other variations of this song were made were the pitch was altered with the speed, but it sounded too strange. Prior to calling this song Shackled Down, it was named 'Maroon 5 song,' due to its similarity to songs by that band.

lyrics

I've been waiting since you left
I've been praying you'll come back
My fever's high and it won't go down
I'm getting hotter just sitting, thinking, and waiting around

A long time, it has been
You were my baby back then
I feel my life deteriorate

Days gone by, and I have found
Nothing of value is around
Could this really be my fate?

Lonliness, I miss your kiss, I am bound
Can't escape this wretched state, I'm shackled down.
It used to be you and me, now you're with some guy
I'm getting colder just sitting, thinking, and asking why

A long time, it has been
You were my baby back then
I feel my life disintegrate

Years flown by, and I have found
Nothing of value is around
Could this really be my fate?
