Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll be here 'till the end
Everyone leaves in the end

And most likely
I will let you down
Oh, I will let you down

I will let you down

Oh, I will let you down
I will let you down

I know you want me to die
Oh, I know you'll want me to die
I know you hope ill die

So I won't let you down
Just put your faith in me
And I won't let you down

I know I'll let you down

I know I'll let you down
I know I'll let you down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Basslovers United feat. D.A.D's song "Never Let You Down" depict a person's realization of their inevitable failure in relationships. The singer acknowledges that everyone eventually leaves in the end, but promises to stay until the end for the person they are addressing in the song. However, they express their own concern that they will ultimately let the other person down. The repetition of the line "I will let you down" reinforces the singer's doubts about their ability to provide the other person with what they need from a relationship.

The second half of the song takes a dark turn, as the singer acknowledges that the other person wants them to die and hopes for their demise. Despite this, the singer still promises not to let the other person down - "just put your faith in me, and I won't let you down" - and repeats their admission that they know they will inevitably disappoint the other person. The lyrics offer a complex portrayal of a relationship fraught with doubt and insecurity, ultimately complicated by the distressing idea that one person wishes harm upon the other.
