Autre Ne Veut Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you know that there were some times when I could care of
You promised me, yea sir
I gave you (down, down, down…)
It’s the last, last, last…
Oh it’s the last I break that’ll ever have to with us
But you promised me, yea sir
I gave you (down, down, down…)
Now it’s the last I break that’ll ever have to with us
And you know that there were some times when I could care of
You promised me, yea sir
I gave you
The song "Promises" by Autre Ne Veut seems to be about a relationship that has come to an end. The singer is expressing that this is the last time he will break up with his significant other, meaning they will no longer be together after this point. He acknowledges that there were times when he didn't care enough and that his partner promised him something, but it's unclear what was promised. The repetition of "down, down, down" in the lyrics potentially suggests that someone is descending or falling, but there's not enough context to know for sure.
The first half of the song seems to be about the singer making a final decision to end a relationship that may have had its ups and downs. He emphasizes that this is the last time he'll have to deal with any issues related to the relationship. The second half of the song is more reflective, with the singer acknowledging that there were times when he may have not cared enough. However, he is still holding on to something that was promised to him.
Overall, the lyrics to "Promises" are somewhat ambiguous and open to interpretation. It's difficult to know exactly what the singer is referring to when he mentions a promise or the repetition of "down, down, down." However, the emotions in the song are clear - there is a sense of finality and closure, as well as some regret about the past.
