Imagine being boxed into a metaphysical corner—a victim of too many drugs and too much booze. Imagine transporting your mind and body to the magical hills of Frisco, Colorado, looking for answers “ not found in liquids or pills”.
Imagine climbing up the mountain, simultaneously getting closer to God and further away from your painful reality. You see yourself, on one hand, bombarded by floating pills and alcohol bottles, and on the other, blanketed by snow-capped hills and running brooks.
The heroine, in IT’S A LONG WAY DOWN, has many decisions to be made before it’s too late. She is like many troubled addicts—afraid and unknowing how to deal with her weaknesses.
The song and video provide a message of hope at its critical end. The young lady has made a life-affirming decision . She will choose life over destruction.
She hesitantly opens the door to a rehab center, not knowing where this will end by knowing she will not leap off the Cliff cause “IT’S A LONG WAY DOWN .”
