Lyrics

Don't look down

Advising against looking down, possibly metaphorical

They're making sorta crazy sounds

Strange or unsettling noises are being heard

Don't look down no

Reiteration of advice against looking down

Don't know who else came to kneel

Uncertain about others who joined in a difficult situation

On this empty battlefield

Being on an empty battlefield, feeling isolated

But when I hear that crazy sound

Reacting to the unsettling sound by avoiding looking down

I don't look down

Continuing to avoid looking down due to the sound

From Central Park to shanty town

From a popular place like Central Park to a poor area like a shanty town, the unsettling sound is heard

I always hear that crazy sound

Consistently hearing the disturbing sound

From New York to Shanty Town

Reiterating the pervasiveness of the unsettling sound in different locations

There's always something else

Sense of perpetual uncertainty or unrest

Don't look down...no

Repeated advice against looking down


I went this morning to the cemetery

Visiting a cemetery to pay respects to Rudy Valentino

To see old Rudy Valentino buried

Seeing remnants of affection (lipstick traces) at the burial site

Lipstick traces on his name

Rudy Valentino didn't succumb to the unsettling sound and didn't look down

He never looked down

Continuing the description of Rudy Valentino's reaction to the sounds

'Cause they were making crazy sounds

Referencing the persistent unsettling sounds in different areas

From Central Park to Shanty Town

Rudy Valentino consistently heard the disturbing sound

He always heard that crazy sound

Reiteration of the pervasiveness of the unsettling sound

There's always something else

Continued theme of perpetual uncertainty

Don't look down...no

Repeated advice against looking down


When I see you standing there

Inability to focus on appearance due to the unsettling sound

I can't see the clothes you wear

Inability to visually perceive due to the influence of the sound

I just hear that crazy sound

Reacting to the unsettling sound, affecting perception

And I can't look down

Avoidance of looking down due to the impact of the sound

I've always heard that crazy sound

Consistent experience of the unsettling sound in different areas

From New York to Shanty Town

Continuation of experiencing the disturbing sound

There's always something else

Reiteration of the unsettling sound across locations

Don't look down...no

Repeated advice against looking down

Don't look down

Reiteration of advice against looking down

Don't look...don't look down

Further emphasis on avoiding looking down


No I won't be bored I won't be there

Refusal to be bored or affected by the unsettling sound

Look at life it's no piece of cake

Life is challenging and not easy


When I hear that crazy sound

Response to the unsettling sound by avoiding looking down

I don't look down

Consistent experience of the unsettling sound

From Central Park to Shanty town

Presence of the disturbing sound in different areas

I always hear that crazy sound

Continued experience of the unsettling sound

From New York to Shanty Town

Reiteration of the unsettling sound in various locations

There's always something else

Continued theme of perpetual uncertainty


There's always something else

Continued existence of other matters beyond looking down

Don't look down...no

Reiterated advice against looking down

Don't look down

Reiteration of advice against looking down

Don't look...don't look down

Further emphasis on avoiding looking down
