Down
Rising Above: Unveiling Emotional Depths in 'Down' by Pitchshifter
Lyrics
You can't touch this dream, you can't make this scene
You cannot achieve or influence this aspiration; you cannot participate in this situation
"You can't change a thing?" watch me, watch me, watch me
The speaker challenges the notion that change is impossible, asserting that they can indeed make a difference
Turn things round, you can't make this sound
Turning things around is beyond your capability; you cannot create this particular sound or outcome
"We can't change a thing?" watch me, watch me, watch me
The speaker rejects the idea that change is unattainable, emphasizing their ability to bring about change
And I'd like to rise above you
The speaker expresses a desire to surpass or transcend those around them
And I'd like to see you falling
The speaker expresses a wish to witness the decline or downfall of someone
Down, feeling nothing
A state of descending or falling, accompanied by a lack of sensation or emotion
Down, your feeling is nothing
The descent continues, emphasizing the absence or insignificance of emotions
You can't light this fuse, we're not safe to choose
It is impossible to ignite this process; making a safe choice is not within our reach
"You can't make a stand?" watch me, watch me, watch me
The speaker challenges the idea that taking a stand is unattainable, asserting their ability to do so
Can't burn the pages, it's not sent in stages
The pages cannot be set on fire, and the process is not unfolding gradually or in stages
"You can't change a thing?" watch me, watch me, watch me
The speaker rejects the notion that change is unachievable, emphasizing their capacity to bring about change
And I'd like to rise above you
Reiteration of the desire to surpass or rise above those around
And I'd like to see you falling
Reiteration of the desire to witness the decline or downfall of someone
Down, feeling nothing
Repetition of the descending state, accompanied by a lack of feeling or significance
Down, your feeling is nothing
Continuation of the descent, emphasizing the absence or insignificance of emotions
And I'd like to see you falling
Reiteration of the wish to see someone falling
Down, feeling nothing
Repetition of the descending state, accompanied by a lack of sensation or emotion
Down, your feeling is nothing
Continuation of the descent, emphasizing the absence or insignificance of emotions
