About This Track

'Going Under' by Wallows is a 2024 alternative track from the album 'Model'. The lyrics find the narrator scared of going under, convinced that it might be over, as their head “hits the pavement”. They sing about a partner isolating and slowing things down, with the narrator hoping it might be better this year even as they ask for reassurance and the words they want to hear. There is a plea for someone to hold things steady when they cannot speak, and to wake them up when it is over. The mood is anxious and dependent, set against the language of isolation and brinkmanship.

"Going Under" is a track by Wallows, from the album Model, released 23rd April 2024. The track is 2:52 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about Wallows.

Lyrics

Going Under

Oh, I'm scared of goin' under
Thinkin' that it's over
With you
Now my head has hit the pavement
You've been isolating
Slowing down

I hope it's better this year
Tell me what I wanna hear
You hold it down when I can't speak
You hold it down
Just wake me up when it's over
My headache shows when it's sober
My heart, it races
Can barely face it

Oh, I'm scared of goin' under
If it's almost over
With you
Now my head has hit the pavement
I've been oscillating
Spinning 'round

Now I don't know where I'm turnin'
Every step's a new end, no way out

I sense it every night
This feeling that I'll disregard
All that we are and say goodbye
But you know I will never leave
Just give me time to think, ooh
And figure out how I let it get this far
Now you're screaming that you'll lose it all, ooh
I'm so sure that we'll make it out once more
And prove to you, ooh
That you are more than I could ever need

Oh, I'm scared of goin' under
If it's ever over
With you
Now my head has hit the pavement
Just got to be patient
Take our time

    What Wallows meant by ‘first idea, best idea’ on ‘Model’

    Wallows’ instinct-led approach to ‘Model’ meant working quickly enough to avoid overthinking, while trusting their growing studio experience.

    Why ‘As It Was’ sounded like an alternative-pop crossover before it became Harry Styles’ US chart record

    Dork’s April 2022 response to Harry Styles’ ‘As It Was’ put it alongside The Strokes, Wallows and Alfie Templeman. It was a description of the song’s place in pop at the time, not a claim about confirmed influences.

    When Wallows began writing for bigger rooms, their older songs were ready

    Wallows made 2024’s ‘Model’ with their largest shows in mind, but Alexandra Palace showed that the older songs had always contained the same live-ready foundations.

    Why Wallows released ‘More’ as an EP instead of a ‘Model’ deluxe

    Wallows’ seven-track ‘More’ came from the same recording period as ‘Model’, but the band felt the songs had become a distinct collection rather than bonus material.

    What Wallows’ ‘Nothing Happens’ offers beyond ‘Are You Bored Yet?’

    Wallows’ 2019 debut was built from a decade of friendship, self-doubt, jokes and songs that have remained central to their biggest live shows.
