Down
Unraveling Emotional Turmoil: Papercut Massacre's "Down" Meaning
Lyrics
I wanna know just how you feel
I am curious about your emotions
When I'm breaking you, breaking you down
When I am causing your emotional breakdown
I wanna know just how it feels
I want to understand the sensation
When I'm breaking you, breaking you down
Of breaking you down emotionally
Take apart the things that you don't like
Disassemble things you dislike
Put 'em back the way that you feel is right
Reassemble them according to your feelings
I'm always under construction
Constantly evolving and changing
Never good enough to satisfy
Never satisfactory enough
Take away what pride I've left inside
Remove any remaining pride
You've cut me down to almost nothing
You've reduced me to almost nothing
So let's see if you like it now
Let's see if you enjoy it now
Now let's see if you act so proud
See if you remain proud
Now the tables have turned
Now the situation is reversed
Will you act all concerned?
Will you show concern?
I wanna know just how you feel
I want to know your emotions
When I'm breaking you, breaking you down
When I'm causing your emotional breakdown
I wanna know just how it feels
I want to understand the sensation
When I'm breaking you, breaking you down
Of breaking you down emotionally
Take back the things you said in spite
Retract hurtful words spoken in anger
Nothing you can say will set this right
No words can rectify the situation
You're the cause of my destruction
You are the cause of my downfall
Live and learn, excuses pacify
Learn and grow, excuses soothe
No mistakes, the problems are all mine
No errors, all problems are mine
I've left myself completely open
I've exposed myself completely
So let's see if you like it now
Let's see if you enjoy it now
Now let's see if you act so proud
See if you remain proud
Now the tables have turned
Now the situation is reversed
Will you act so concerned?
Will you show concern?
I wanna know just how you feel
I want to know your emotions
When I'm breaking you, breaking you down
When I'm causing your emotional breakdown
I wanna know just how it feels
I want to understand the sensation
When I'm breaking you, breaking you down
Of breaking you down emotionally
Wake me from my slumber
Awaken me from my inactivity
Dream to hold
A dream to grasp onto
Pinch me, I'm still not sure
Uncertain about where I belong
Where I belong
Pinch me, still uncertain
And I wanna know just how you feel
I want to know your emotions
When I'm breaking you, breaking you down
When I'm causing your emotional breakdown
I wanna know just how it feels
I want to understand the sensation
When I'm breaking you, breaking you down
Of breaking you down emotionally
I wanna know, I wanna know
I want to know
I wanna know, I wanna know
-I wanna know just how it feels
I want to know your emotions
I wanna know, I wanna know
I want to know
I wanna know, I wanna know
-I wanna know just how it feels
I want to know your emotions
