Down
♫ Blink 182 Lyrics

The drops of rain they fall all over
The rain falling all around him sets a melancholic scene for the beginning of the song.

This awkward silence makes me crazy
The silence between him and the girl he likes is unbearable and agonizing.

The glow inside burns light upon her
He is attracted to her and feels a deep admiration for her inner light or beauty.

I'll try to kiss you if you let me, (this can't be the end)
He wants to make a move on her, but fears that any romantic gestures could potentially ruin their friendship or relationship.

Tidal waves they rip right through me
He is overcome with emotion or passion that feels as powerful and tumultuous as a tidal wave.

Tears from eyes worn cold and sad
He is feeling vulnerable and exposed, as if his eyes are betraying an inner sadness that he is struggling to keep hidden.

Pick me up now, I need you so bad
He is desperate for her attention and affection, and feels like he is falling apart without it.

Your vows of silence fall all over
Her silence towards him feels like a betrayal, as if she is deliberately trying to avoid him or push him away.

The look in your eyes makes me crazy
He is fixated on her and every little gesture or look she gives him, and it's driving him insane with desire and longing.

I feel the darkness break upon her
He sees her as a beacon of hope or light in his life, and her presence helps him overcome his inner darkness.

I'll take you over if you let me, (You did this)
He is willing to take a risk and make a move on her, but feels like she has somehow caused this situation or dynamic.

Down down down down
The repetition of this line emphasizes the feeling of being pulled down into an emotional abyss.

It gets me so
This repeated phrase reflects the overwhelming feelings of frustration, desperation, and sadness that he is experiencing throughout the song.
