Don't Look Down
Seeking Constellations in Descent
Lyrics
See her there
Observing a woman in a particular situation
She hangs from me
She depends or relies on the speaker
See her face
Notices her facial expression
She can't let go
She struggles to detach or move on
I can't look in here eyes
The speaker avoids making eye contact with her
She's holding on
She clings to something, possibly causing pain intentionally
She needed this to hurt me so
She wanted to cause emotional pain to the speaker
So it shot out of me
Something emotional is expressed abruptly
As though all of the love just got ripped out of me
Describes a sudden loss of love or affection
She said I'm such a sap, I'm such a jerk
She criticizes the speaker, questioning their character
How can I ever forget the way that we are
Reflecting on past memories and the nature of the relationship
Spend all your time with your eyes on the ground
Advises spending time looking down, avoiding disappointment or expectations
Looking for the stars
Searching for something positive in a low or ordinary place
Say this is it
Declaring a finality or conclusion
This is all there is
Suggesting a sense of limitation or completeness
You have to remember this
Encouraging the listener to remember the current state
This is all there is
Reiteration of the limited nature of the situation
So it shot out of me
Repetition of the sudden emotional expression
As though all of the love just got ripped out of me
Repeating the feeling of love being forcibly taken away
And just for that moment I saw in her eyes
The speaker perceives a glimpse of a potential positive future in her eyes
How it all could be
Implies a moment of realization or insight
It shot out of me
Reiteration of the abrupt emotional expression
Spend all your time with your eyes on the ground
Recommends focusing on the mundane, avoiding lofty aspirations
Looking for the stars
Searching for something positive in ordinary places
So it shot out of me
Repeating the sudden emotional expression
As though all of the love just got ripped out of me
Reiterating the feeling of love being forcibly taken away
