Bring Down Like I
Anna Ternheim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From early march till late in may
Then I pulled out in a day
To catch my breath some place far away
All to say farewell for now
No one brings you down like I
All to say farewell for now
Tomorrow morning set me free
For many nights you'll never sleep
When I'm far from reaching out of sight
Enough to get me on my high tonight
All to say farewell for now
No one brings you down like I
All to say farewell for now
No one brings you down like I
Forever lost in 90 days
From early march till late in may
Farewell for now, farewell for now, farewellâ?¦
All to say no one brings you down like I
All to say farewell for now
No one brings you down like I do
The lyrics to Anna Ternheim's song Bring Down Like I seem to be about a relationship that has ended, or is about to end. The phrase "Forever lost in 90 days" suggests that the relationship was brief, but intense. The singer then describes leaving suddenly, perhaps to get some space or to try to move on from the relationship. The repeated refrain "No one brings you down like I" suggests that the relationship was tumultuous, and that the singer may have been the source of a lot of emotional difficulty for the other person.
The second verse further explores the idea of leaving, with the singer saying "Tomorrow morning set me free." This could be interpreted as the singer wanting to move on and put the relationship behind them, while the other person will be left struggling to come to terms with the breakup. The final lines repeat the refrain, emphasizing that the singer sees themselves as the source of the other person's pain.
Overall, the song seems to be a reflection on the end of a relationship, with the singer acknowledging that they may have caused a lot of pain, but ultimately feeling like they need to move on from the situation in order to take care of themselves. The lyrics are cryptic enough that they could be interpreted in a few different ways, but the repeated refrain and the sense of finality in the last lines suggest that the relationship is truly over.
