Down
Ashton Nyte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
like inevitable death of communication
like the ageing lines of an obsession
like your lover leaving with your cd collection
down
feeling down
like the self-doubt before a confession
like the plank in eye that leads to indecision
the wrong answer to a forgotten question
down
feeling down
down
everybody feels down
at times
this is deconstruction
this is deconstruction
like the heavy limbs of deterioration
like the stupid whim of mutilation
don't think this is just your condition
everyone has a day of low submission
down
feeling down
down
everyone feels down
at times
this is deconstruction
this is deconstruction
this is deconstruction
this is deconstruction
The lyrics to Ashton Nyte's song "Down" describes the feeling of being down or depressed through various scenarios that can lead one to feel that way. The first stanza uses metaphors such as "like a story of abuse on a television" and "inevitable death of communication" to convey the idea that feeling down can be like witnessing someone else's pain from afar or feeling like your communication with others is dying out. The mention of "your lover leaving with your cd collection" could imply a feeling of betrayal and loss, which can further contribute to one's low mood.
The second stanza continues with more metaphors, such as "like a broken key stuck in the ignition" to describe feeling stuck and unable to progress. The line "the plank in eye that leads to indecision" suggests that feeling down can cause one to be overly critical of themselves, leading to indecisiveness. The bridge of the song repeats the idea that feeling down is not unique to any individual, and everyone experiences it at some point in their life.
Overall, the song "Down" is a poignant reflection on the universal experience of feeling low and the ways in which it can manifest in our lives.

"From those who have given the garden Less than the peace she deserves"
.....thought I would wait as I'm in the middle of a project,...
waiting waiting
oh well
what harm can come from a sample of a few verses....
after several listens
and left arm unbeknownst to me being attacked
by mosquitoes,...
...small price to pay for such a beautiful song....
the cinematography it waits it's patient
the anticipation builds
captures that feeling
Ashton
Bravo
....looking forward to hearing the rest
I'll be it under shelter
this time
as I nurse my arm...
