Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hands up
I got my eyes facing down 

I'll show you where my tears come down
Slowly down

Hands up
I got my eyes facing down
I shudder when my tears come down 

So slow down
So slow down

Suddenly my tears come down

Slowly down

Hands up 
I got my eyes facing down
I'll show you where my tears come down 

Slowly down
So slowly down

Hands up 
I got my eyes facing down
I
'll show you where my tears come down
Slowly down

Hands up 
I got my eyes facing down 

I shudder when my tears come down 





So slowly down

So slow down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bonobo's "Eyesdown" featuring Andreya Triana and DELS describe a person who is feeling overwhelmed and emotional, and has their head down in sadness. They raise their hands up in surrender or as a sign of defeat. The person is crying, and the tears are slowly falling down their face. This is likely a situation where the person is trying to hide their vulnerability and emotions, but they are apparent in their body language and the tears they shed.


The repetition of "slowly down" emphasizes the slow-moving and painful nature of the tears. The use of the word "shudder" in one line adds another layer to the emotional state of the person crying. This word suggests an involuntary reaction to the tears, perhaps indicating that they are feeling overwhelmed with their emotions.


Overall, the lyrics create a picture of someone who is in pain and struggling with their emotions. Through the use of repetition and the specific word choices, the song captures the rawness and depth of the person's feelings.

Kudos I swear I found Bonobo by accident when I heard days to come and was hooked with the first sonic wave my body received. This song brought me to tears and for no reason I was not sad I just instantly thought of seeing my loved ones I miss who are no longer with is life. I thought about the day my eyes come down and I escape to the scary but beautiful world we all must enter!!! I want to know what frequency he records in? I love you all
