Dominó
Brian/Brian Joo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's the same old thing when we go out
A new place to hang with the same crowd
I looked up when you came and sat down
Now I'm here with you and I'm admiring the view
I hope you never (ever) never (ever) cut me loose
And I don't know what to do because
I'm falling into something real and I can't stop me
From start to finish I promise I'm in this
Just wanna let you know, yo I'm falling like a domino
Falling, falling, falling
Just like a domino
Falling, falling, falling
Just like a domino
From start to finish I promise I'll mend this
Just wanna let you know, yo I'm falling like a domino
Always said true love never happens
A little push caused this chain reaction
I never thought you'd be my distraction
I admit girl you got me crashing
Now I'm here with you and I'm admiring the view
I hope you never (ever) never (ever) cut me loose
And I don't know what to do because
I'm falling into something real and I can't stop me
I'm knocking over everything and you just caught me
From start to finish I promise I'm in this
Just wanna let you know, yo I'm falling like a domino
Falling, falling, falling
Just like a domino
Falling, falling, falling
Just like a domino
From start to finish I promise I'll mend this
Just wanna let you know, yo I'm falling like a domino
When it all comes down you gon' have my back
When the last one falls baby we got that
You're saying ooh ooh hot hot ooh ooh hot hot
Keep saying hot hot ooh ooh hot hot
When it all comes down you gon' have my back
When the last one falls baby we got that
Keep saying ooh ooh keep saying ooh ooh
Keeping saying ooh ooh keep saying
I'm falling like a domino
I'm falling into something real and I can't stop me
I'm knocking over everything and you just caught me
From start to finish I promise I'm in this
Just wanna let you know, yo I'm falling like a domino
Falling, falling, falling
Just like a domino
Falling, falling, falling
Just like a domino
From start to finish I promise I'll mend this
Just wanna let you know, yo I'm falling like a domino
I'm falling into something real and I can't stop me
I'm knocking over everything and you just caught me
From start to finish I promise I'm in this
Just wanna let you know, yo I'm falling like a domino
Falling, falling, falling
Just like a domino
Falling, falling, falling
Just like a domino
From start to finish I promise I'll mend this
Just wanna let you know, yo I'm falling like a domino
The lyrics to Brian/Brian Joo's song "Domino" appear to be about falling in love unexpectedly and being unable to resist the feeling. The opening lines suggest a boredom with the familiar routine of going out in the same old town with the same old crowd until the singer locks eyes with someone new. The chorus repeats the refrain "I'm falling like a domino" to emphasize that this love is causing a chain reaction that is difficult to stop.
In the second verse, the singer acknowledges some initial skepticism about whether true love ever happens, but sees that a small push (perhaps from the person they are now falling for) can trigger a huge change. The bridge suggests that the singer and their new love interest will have each other's backs, even when things get tough or other people fall away.
Overall, "Domino" is a catchy, upbeat love song that celebrates the power of sudden, unexpected connections to make us feel alive and full of energy. The song's lyrics are relatively simple and repetitive, but the use of the domino metaphor helps to create a sense of inevitability and momentum that propels the listener along.

* "Domino" has been praised for its catchy melody and uplifting message, with many listeners noting that it's a great song to dance to.
