Down Down
Journey of Tears: Embracing Vulnerability in Jordan Elias' 'Down Down'
Lyrics
I have to fight to pretend I know how to let go
I struggle to act like I know how to release emotions
But I can't open the seal, to let the tears flow Please give me the key to that door of the deep
I can't bring myself to express my feelings; please help me unlock my emotions
I long for You to show me how to weep
I yearn for guidance on how to cry and experience deep emotions
Down down, to the ground
Descending emotionally, feeling low
Bring me down to my knees
Bring me to a humble state, to my knees
Down down, to the ground
Further emphasizing the emotional descent
Break me down, teach me to weep
Bring me low, help me learn to express sorrow
Cry with me Father, take me to that place
Plead for emotional connection with a higher power (Father), seeking guidance
Show me how to love someone and feel their pain Teach me so that I can feed Your sheep
Request to learn empathy and love by experiencing others' pain, linking it to spiritual nourishment
You told me to weep with those who weep, yeah
Recalling a divine directive to share in the sorrows of others
Down down, to the ground
Reiteration of emotional descent
Bring me down to my knees
Emphasis on humility and vulnerability, returning to one's knees
Down down, to the ground
Continuation of emotional descent
Break me down, teach me to weep
Repeated plea for emotional breakdown and the ability to weep
Dance with me Abba, now I'm free to weep
Invitation to a spiritual connection, expressing freedom to experience deep emotions
Sing with me Father, this freedom I will keep, yeah
Inviting a divine presence to join in the freedom of emotional expression
Down down, to the ground
Reiteration of emotional descent
Bring me down to my knees
Repeating the desire for humility and vulnerability
Down down, to the ground
Continuation of emotional descent
Break me down and teach me to weep
Repeated plea for emotional breakdown and the ability to weep
