Down
Heartbreak Echoes: Ismail Stewart's Struggle with Love's Liquor
Lyrics
We had a good thing going now you're gone
The relationship ended, and the person is reminiscing about the past.
I still feel your body on mine
Despite the separation, there's a lingering physical memory of intimacy.
Yea I got out every other night
The person goes out frequently, trying to distract themselves.
Just tryna have a good time
Just seeking enjoyment or a good experience.
I thought I was trying to have a good Time
Initially thought they were having fun, but it was a way to avoid thoughts of the ex.
But I was just tryna get you off my mind
Realization that the attempts at enjoyment were to cope with missing the ex.
Drinking to forget about the night
Using alcohol to try and forget about the past.
Maybe I could keep the liquor down this time (Down)
Repetition emphasizes the struggle to keep the alcohol down, indicating difficulty in coping.
Down this time (Down)
-Down this time yeah
-Maybe i could keep the liquor down this time (Down)
-Down this time (Down)
-Down this time yeah
-Maybe i could keep the liquor down this time
-Down this time (Down)
-Down this time yeah
-Maybe i could keep the liqour down this time (Down)
-Down this time (Down)
-Down this time yeah
-Maybe i could keep the liqour down this time
-You brightened up my skies
Highlighting the positive impact the ex had on their life.
Now Im sleeping alone at night
Feeling lonely after the ex's departure.
Why is it that every single time that I asked you why
Questioning why the ex entertained others despite being asked about it.
You be entertaining all them other guys
Realization that the ex might not have been sincere.
I Guess I was rolling with a fake
Repeatedly recognizing the facade of the ex's personality, lacking genuine emotions.
Pretty face, slim waist, no trace
-Of a heart
-She was down only for her from the start
-I Guess I was rolling with a fake
-Pretty face, slim waist, no trace
-Of a heart
-She was down only for her from the start
-We had a good thing going now you're gone
Repetition signifies the cyclical nature of memories and attempts to cope.
I still feel your body on mine
-Yea I got out every other night
-Just tryna have a good time
-I thought I was trying to have a good Time
-But I was tryna get you off my mind
-Drinking to forget about the night
-Maybe I could keep the liquor down this time (Down)
-Down this time (Down)
-Down this time yeah
-Maybe i could keep the liquor down this time (Down)
-Down this time (Down)
-Down this time yeah
-Maybe i could keep the liquor down this time
-Down this time (Down)
-Down this time yeah
-Maybe i could keep the liquor down this time (Down)
-Down this time (Down)
-Down this time yeah
-Maybe i could keep the liqour down this time
-You were my escape
The ex used to be a way to escape from difficulties.
Now from you I'm tryna run away
Feeling the need to distance oneself from the ex due to feeling mistreated and the lack of reciprocation.
The way you did me I was feeling like I had to get away
-But you weren't up for the chase
-I Guess I was rolling with a fake
-Pretty face, slim waist, no trace
-Of a heart
-She was down only for her from the start
-I Guess I was rolling with a fake
-Pretty face, slim waist, no trace
-Of a heart
Reiteration of the ex's superficiality and lack of genuine feelings from the beginning of the relationship.
She was down only for her from the start
