Don't Look Down
Rise Above: Embracing Life's Rollercoaster in Finger Eleven's 'Don't Look Down'
Lyrics
It doesn't matter that the rain is gone
Regardless of past difficulties, the present moment is not affected by them.
You know it's coming back (coming back)
Awareness that challenges or hardships will return.
Just as sure as the sun burns through
Expressing the inevitability of challenges, akin to the certainty of the sun shining.
Until it burns out black (burns out black)
Despite the certainty, challenges will persist until they become overwhelming or exhausting.
Don't let anything faze you know
Stay unfazed by external factors now that you've found your rhythm or stability.
That you've found your stride
Confidence in having discovered a comfortable and confident way of living.
Just when everything feels OK
Amidst a positive phase, suddenly encountering a setback or unease.
Just suddenly not quite
An abrupt shift from feeling okay to a state of discomfort or dissatisfaction.
Don't look down
Advice not to dwell on potential pitfalls or challenges.
Just close your eyes and keep your head in the clouds
Suggesting to ignore problems and maintain a positive outlook.
'Cause it's only a matter of time before you hit the ground
Forewarning that challenges are inevitable, encouraging resilience.
But until you fall you're gonna have to live this out
Until facing adversity, one must continue living life to its fullest.
I wouldn't focus on the negative there's no point in that (point in that)
Discouragement from focusing on negativity as it serves no purpose.
Nothing says you can't enjoy the ride
Encouragement to enjoy life, even if it deviates from conventional paths.
Even if you are off the tracks
Persisting in one's journey, even when straying off the expected path.
Don't let anything bring you down
Advising against succumbing to negativity, emphasizing resilience.
Keep on burning bright
Urging to maintain a positive and vibrant spirit.
Just when everything feels OK
Similar to line 8, experiencing sudden shifts from comfort to discomfort.
Just as suddenly not quite
Unexpected transitions from satisfaction to dissatisfaction.
Don't look down
Reiteration of the advice to avoid focusing on potential pitfalls.
Just close your eyes and keep your head in the clouds
Emphasizing the need to maintain a positive perspective and ignore challenges.
'Cause it's only a matter of time before you hit the ground
Reiterating the inevitability of challenges but urging to persevere.
But until you fall you're gonna have to live this out
Until facing adversity, continue living life fully.
Don't look down
Final repetition of advice to avoid dwelling on potential problems.
Close your eyes and keep your head in the clouds
Reemphasizing the importance of maintaining a positive outlook.
'Cause it's only a matter of time before you hit the ground
Reiterating the certainty of facing challenges but advocating resilience.
But until you fall you're gonna have to live this out
Until encountering adversity, one should continue living life to the fullest.
