The song "Woman Down" by Beth Hart tells the story of a woman who has been the victim of a crime. She feels broken and helpless, as all that she had - her hopes and dreams - have been taken away from her by someone she loved. The lyrics describe a woman who is love sick and drunk on the pain inflicted by her lover. The repeated lines "1, 2, 3, 4, give me a million more ways to lay my lover down" reflect the woman's desire to take revenge on her perpetrator. She feels so low that she needs a rag around her neck to soak up the stench of the blood and sweat that remind her of her trauma. The lyrics of the song suggest that the woman has been physically abused by her partner, as she refers to "wounds" from his kisses. She also speaks of the man as a "fucker" and a "mother", indicating her anger and frustration towards him. Despite the pain and suffering that the woman has experienced, the song ends with a message of hope. The line "there's a woman down, please help me" suggests that the woman is reaching out for support. The song acknowledges that it is not just one woman who has been victimized, but many - and that it is important to work together to lift each other up and bring justice to those who have harmed them.
