Overall Meaning

The lyrics of A.P.M.'s song Back Down are quite difficult to interpret but seem to be about a mix of different things happening in the artist's mind. The song starts with the artist making a shoutout to the people in their mind, followed by nonsensical sounds, and a nostalgic mention of DJ Rap. The lyrics follow with mentions of a white truck bringing sound to the people, hitting a tree stump, and ending up in a dirt lot. There is also a mention of Anna Hand, who we do not know who it might refer to but it seems to be important to the artist. The chorus seems to talk about never coming back down from a high or a certain state, wanting to pay someone on an hourly rate, and probably dealing with unsavory characters on a subway. The song ends with a series of nonsensical phrases and names.


Interestingly, there is a mix of elements in the song, from the use of Spanish phrases in the beginning (Donde esta los digits), to references to real-life people (DJ Rap and Anna Hand), to made-up names (Charisse), and to a mix of musical styles, from rap to electronic beats. The song seems to be a collage of different themes, ideas, and styles, making it difficult to fully grasp its meaning.

Doubt'll be the fire of your delight, but you're never gonna come back down A half The pop song on the five, but you're never gonna come back down To grab The t-shirt off the line, but you're never gonna come back down I think she's murderously sly, but you're never gonna come back down But you're never gonna come back down, But you're never gonna come back down, But you're never gonna come back down, But you're never gonna come back down,
Skepticism will help you overcome your enjoyment, but you'll never look back, not even halfway through, one example being not getting that t-shirt you saw hanging on the line, and exciting women you're afraid of.

Oh when I woke up and got on the BMT I saw the boom shuddap and that's fresh to me.. And they were scrawling on the window with wise-ass keys, And they were driving out the lots in their Mercurys.
After waking up and getting on BMT (Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit), I saw the slang disappear, and that was refreshing. Meanwhile, others were using profane graffiti and speeding away in a Mercury.


He's the doom slinger, the dope beat stinger, sucka DJ's they get stopped by a single finger...
He's the one who can guarantee nobody can match his skills in creating an eerie atmosphere, and putting all others to shame.


Could you bring it up? Could you bring it up just a little more than that? Could you bring it up? Could you bring it up? Could you bring it up just...could you bring it up? Could you bring it up? Could you bring it up? Could you bring it up?

Fucking blonde English girls with ghetto names you know what I'm saying? I love that shit.
Greetings to all of you out there on the front, at the back, to the bartender, waitresses, DJ, but especially the woman with the beer and the ladies named Charisse from England. It's fantastic when a blonde English lady has an exotic name, isn't it? I love that stuff.


And the seven udders uttered, The seven unders thundered, The seven thunders uttered, The seven utters thuddered, thuddered, thuddered, under, thuddered under The seven thunders uttered.
The seven udders uttered, the seven thunders clapped, the seven thunders spoke even louder than before.


Charisse-ah.
Charisse.


BT: Fucking excellent man. DOUGHTY: That's what I do for a living..
BT: Amazing, man. DOUGHTY: Yes, that's my profession.
