Don't Look Down
Alex Bleeker And The Freaks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't look back on the way we met
Don't look back at me now
Don't look, try all the things you said
don't back at on me now.

Don't look down on me
Don't look down on me
Don't look down on me now.
Don't look down on me
Don't look down on me
Don't look down on me now.

Strangers on this train
can explain the way we feel.
Don't look back at me now.
Strangers on this train
rearrange for something real
don't look down for me now.

Don't look back on the way we met,
Don't look back at me now
Don't look, try all the things you said
Don't look back on me now.

Don't look down on me
Don't look down on me
Don't look down on me now.
Don't look down on me
Don't look down on me
Don't look down on me now.

Strangers on this train
can explain the way we feel.
Don't look back at me now.
Strangers on this train




rearrange for something real
don't look down for me now.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Alex Bleeker And The Freaks’ song “Don’t Look Down” seem to address someone who is acting aloof or distant, perhaps looking down on the singer in some way. The first verse, which repeats later in the song, urges the person not to “look back” on how they met or at the singer now, and tells them not to go back on the things they’ve said. The repetition of “don’t look back at me now” suggests a sense of urgency or even desperation from the singer.


The chorus, which repeats three times, has a slightly different message—urging the person not to “look down” on the singer, with the same sense of urgency. It’s unclear exactly what the singer means by “look down,” as the phrase can have multiple interpretations—it could mean the person is literally looking down on them, or it could be a metaphorical way of saying that they’re being condescending or dismissive. Either way, the singer is asking the person to reconsider their actions.


The second verse introduces the idea of “strangers on this train” who can “explain the way we feel” and “rearrange for something real.” This suggests that the singer and the person they’re addressing may have some kind of unique or complicated dynamic, but that ultimately it’s something that can be understood by outsiders. The repeated refrain of “don’t look down for me now” implies that the singer wants the person to stick with them or stay on the same level, instead of acting as if they’re above or beyond them.
