Don't Bring Me Down
Wandering Hearts: Embracing Freedom in 'Don't Bring Me Down'
Lyrics
I'm on my own, nowhere to roam
I'm alone and have nowhere specific to go
I tell you baby, don't want no home
Expressing a desire to avoid settling into a traditional home
I wander round, feet off the ground
Wandering aimlessly, feeling light and carefree
I even go from town to town
Traveling from place to place without a fixed destination
I said I think this rock is grand
Expressing admiration for a particular rock or style of music
Say I'll be your man
Offering to be someone's partner
Don't bring me down, don't bring me down
Requesting not to bring down or dampen his spirits
I met this chick, the other day
Encountering a woman recently
And then to me, she said she'll stay
She expresses a willingness to stay with him
I get this pad, just like a cave
Planning to have a place together, likened to a cave
And then we'll have, our living made
Anticipating a shared life together
And then I'll lead her on the ground
Leading her to the ground, possibly a romantic gesture
My head is spinning round
Feeling dizzy or overwhelmed with emotions
Don't bring me down, don't bring me down
Reiterating the request not to bring down his mood
I, I, I, I, I need a lover 'cause someone new
Expressing a need for a new romantic partner
And then to her I will be true
Committing to be faithful to the new lover
I'll buy her furs and pretty things
Promising to buy luxurious items for the lover
I'll even buy a wedding ring
Even considering marriage with the new partner
But until then I'll settle down?
Questioning whether to settle down immediately
Say I'll be your man
Reiterating the offer to be a partner
Don't bring me down, don't bring me down
Asking again not to bring down his spirits
Until then I'll settle down?
Repeating the uncertainty about settling down
Say I'll be your man
Reiterating the offer to be a partner
Don't bring me down, don't bring me down
Requesting again not to bring down his mood
Don't bring me down
Final plea not to bring down his emotions
