Eyesdown
Bonobo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got my eyes facing down
I'll show you where my tears come down
Slowly down
Hands up
I got my eyes facing down
I shudder when my tears come down
So slow down
So slow down
Suddenly my tears come down
Slowly down
Hands up I got my eyes facing down
I'll show you where my tears come down
Slowly down
So slowly down
Hands up I got my eyes facing down
I 'll show you where my tears come down
Slowly down
Hands up I got my eyes facing down
I shudder when my tears come down
So slowly down
So slow down
The lyrics of Andreya Triana's song "Eyesdown" speak to the feeling of being overwhelmed with difficult emotions and the subsequent isolation that can come with hiding those feelings from others. The repeated phrase "Hands up" could be interpreted as a type of surrender or acknowledgement of vulnerability. The line "I got my eyes facing down" describes a physical posture of shame or avoidance, with the intentions of keeping the tears from being seen by others. The repetition of "Slowly down" implies a sense of struggle or resistance, as if the singer is trying to control or delay the expression of their emotions.
The second verse continues with the same themes, with an added sense of urgency as the singer describes their tears coming down "suddenly". The line "I shudder when my tears come down" suggests a deep emotional pain that is difficult to bear. Despite this, the singer continues to keep their eyes down and hide their tears from others.

I'll show you where my tears come down
I'm willing to be vulnerable and reveal where I'm hurting
Slowly down
My tears are falling gradually and with a heaviness
I shudder when my tears come down

So slow down
I wish my tears and emotions would ease up and slow down

Kudos I swear I found Bonobo by accident when I heard days to come and was hooked with the first sonic wave my body received. This song brought me to tears and for no reason I was not sad I just instantly thought of seeing my loved ones I miss who are no longer with is life. I thought about the day my eyes come down and I escape to the scary but beautiful world we all must enter!!! I want to know what frequency he records in? I love you all
