Downtown
Allie X Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love is a condition of the head
Wanna push a button and reset
But you're still up in my skirt
I thought if you had a piece of me
I could keep the other 2 or 3
But now that's not how it works

I shouldn't be here right now
But you got me figured out
Pushing my pieces round, I know this game
And I need a miracle
To break from this ritual
Till then I'll be saying the same thing

Take me downtown
Use my body all night
Make me feel like last time
Make it taste like love
Take me downtown
Yours until my heart dies
Give it up one last time
Give it up for love

Give it up, give it up
Give it up, give it up

Love is a condition of the head
There is no prescription to forget
So you're all over my brain
You're the blue fix that makes me run
I'll do anything to get me some
Stop me before it's too late

I shouldn't be here right now
But you got me figured out
Pushing my pieces round, I know this game
And I need a miracle
To break from this ritual
Till then I'll be saying the same thing

Take me downtown
Use my body all night
Make me feel like last time
Make it taste like love
Take me downtown
Yours until my heart dies
Give it up one last time
Give it up for love

Oh
Give it up, give it up
Oh
Give it up, give it up
Oh
Give it up, give it up
Oh
Give it up, give it up

Take me downtown
Use my body all night
Make me feel like last time
Make it taste like love
Take me downtown
Yours until my heart dies
Give it up one last time
Give it up for love

Oh
Give it up, give it up
Oh
Give it up, give it up
Oh
Give it up, give it up




Oh
Give it up, give it up

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Allie X's song Downtown emphasize the struggle of being trapped in the cycle of lust and love, with the singer both desperately craving and resenting her lover at the same time. The song starts off with the opening line, "Love is a condition of the head, wanna push a button and reset," which sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is consumed by thoughts of her lover, and can't seem to shake them off no matter how much she may try.


Throughout the song, the singer acknowledges the toxic nature of her relationship, yet she is unable to free herself from it, confessing, "I need a miracle to break from this ritual." She knows that she shouldn't be giving in to her lover's advances, yet she's unable to resist. The chorus, with the repetition of "Take me downtown, Use my body all night, Make me feel like last time," emphasizes her craving for physical pleasure and her need to be controlled and used by her lover.


Allie X's use of vivid imagery and powerful language paints a picture of the struggle between the heart and the head, ultimately leaving the listener with a sense of the singer's entrapment.
