Down Lyrics
Let's get drunk
You can drive us to the harbor Wish upon a star but Do you know what stars are? Balls of fire, burning up the black space Falling from the landscape Exploding in the face of God Let's get crazy, Talk about our big plans Places that you're going Places that I haven't been Build my walls up Concrete castle Keep this kingdom free of hassle, yeah Yeah Yeah I hear sound echo in the emptiness All around but you can't change this loneliness Look what you've found, I've fallen down Taste the saline rolling down your cheekbone Tell me that you're alone, tell me on the telephone Feel your heart it breaks within your chest now Try to get some rest now, Sleep's not coming easy for a while, child Child, yeah I hear sound echo in the emptiness All around but you can't change this loneliness Look what you've found, I've fallen down Down, down Down, down I hear sound echo in the emptiness All around but you can't change this loneliness Look what you've found, I've fallen down Look at what you've found, I'm falling down Look at what you've found, I'm falling down

Wish upon a star but
Do you know what stars are?
Balls of fire, burning up the black space
Falling from the landscape
Exploding in the face of God
kind of indicate the idea of not only your dreams being shattered, but when they are shattered the world falls down around you. like everything that was beautiful is now heinously ugly. does that make sense?

"Wish upon a star but
Do you know what stars are?
Balls of fire, burning up the black space
Falling from the landscape
Exploding in the face of God"
His wish came true, but now he's starting to believe that his wish was actually a curse. His wish is blowing up in his face just as a star blows up in the face of God.
"Let's get crazy,
Talk about our big plans
Places that you're going
Places that I haven't been "
Perhaps his girlfriend is going to college and he won't be able to? Perhap this is from the girlfriend's perspective and is describing the tour?
"Build my walls up
Concrete castle
Keep this kingdom free of hassle, yeah "
Obviously this is the someone building up their walls and shutting everyone else out.
"Taste the saline rolling down your cheekbone
Tell me that you're alone, tell me on the telephone
Feel your heart it breaks within your chest now
Try to get some rest now,
Sleep's not coming easy for a while, child "
Very obviously pointing out that the distance between them and the fact that they rarely see each other anymore is hurting them both.
SIDE NOTE: I just recently discovered SoCo and purchased their North and Leaving Through The Window discs (the latter was hard to find in stores). Maybe it's because I'm late to the scene, but I definitely prefer North because, in my opinion, the music is better and the lyrics are deeper.

Tell me that you're alone, tell me on the telephone
Feel your heart it breaks within your chest now
Try to get some rest now,
Sleep's not coming easy for a while
By far, some of the greatest break up lyrics... I'm a big guy, and I don't cry, but these are some great break-up lyrics.

Let's geeet drunk you can drive us to the harbor
Wish upon a star but do you know that stars are?
That like alone, the 2nd line, really says it's about shattered dreams to me. But it's not just about shattered dreams, cause then later in the song, you hear some great break up lyrics...good good song.

i love how so many something corporate lyrics are about long-distance relationships... my boyfriend lives a country away from me, and he is constantly quoting this song (among others). i don't think this song is about breaking up, but about how hard it is to be far away from the one you love

To me it's always been about being in a relationship with someone you really love that isn't necessarily close to you. It's the process of debating whether or not it's worth all the difficulties. It's that circle that you go through in your brain over and over again ..to stay and slowly torture yourself but still have someone that loves you or to leave and have everything fall down on you but have the chance to get over it much sooner.
No one really pointed out the lines in the chorus:
"I need some echo in the emptiness
All around but you can't change this loneliness"
It's about needing something solid there that you don't really get in a long distance relationship, the person is still all around you but you're lonely and they can't do anything about it, and neither can you. (Hence why you go back to the to leave or not to leave inner debate)

Secondly.. I'm with the whole shattered dreams thing, but there's so much more to it then that, you know?
"Let's get crazy,
Talk about our big plans
Places that you're going
Places that I haven't been
Build my walls up
Concrete castle
Keep this kingdom free of hassle, yeah"
I don't think that's referring to his girl going anywhere, but more like.. There's so much going on in her life, and she's dealing through it all without him, and he's just completely losing sight of her.. Meanwhile, he's staying outside of it all. And to deal with it, he's pushing himself out of it slowly by building up his own walls, yeah?
Taste the saline rolling down your cheekbone
Tell me that you're alone, tell me on the telephone
Feel your heart it breaks within your chest now
Try to get some rest now,
Sleep's not coming easy for a while, child
I think that verse is about them talking for the first time in a while, and she's telling josh (the liner) all about what's going on.. and there's nothing he can do about it. and when they hang up, he can't sleep, because he's thinking about her non-stop.
Anyway, love SoCo, awesome song.

I think its all about lost love, personally...maybe due to long distance relationship, but i'm not so sure on that tho
"Let's get drunk
You can drive us to the harbor
Wish upon a star but
Do you know what stars are?
Balls of fire, burning up the black space
Falling from the landscape
Exploding in the face of God"
*I think this just sets the mood of where him and his gf are, as they look at the stars.
"Let's get crazy,
Talk about our big plans
Places that you're going
Places that I haven't been
Build my walls up
Concrete castle
Keep this kingdom free of hassle, yeah"
*They both talk about where they are going in life, and she says where she is going, and it is not where he thought or intended. So, he starts "building up his walls" or getting offended or keeps things back from where he thinks he is going.
"I hear sound echo in the emptiness
All around but you can't change this loneliness
Look what you've found, I've fallen down"
*He hears what his girlfriend is saying, but its almost like he doesnt comprehend it as she is saying it. He then realizes that it is over, and he is giving up.
"Taste the saline rolling down your cheekbone
Tell me that you're alone, tell me on the telephone
Feel your heart it breaks within your chest now
Try to get some rest now,
Sleep's not coming easy for a while, child"
*Now this is where he has just broken up with her, she is crying as he has just dumped her over the phone. I kind of get the feeling that she didnt see it coming, and she had hope for an on-going relationship.
Again I Love This Song!

Cause HE is crying... yes but if you really care about someone and you know you are going to break their heart.. that's what happens.. right?
he is telling her that her heart is going to break and she isnt going to be sleeping for awhile..
