Don't Look Down
Bring Me The Horizon feat. Foreign Beggars Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oli
Don't look down

(Let's go)

You'll never take me, you'll never win
If I'm going down, you're coming with me
I'll never shut down, I'll never sleep
If I'm going down, I'll take the world with me

Orifice Vulgatron
Yo, the Devil's at your door
You sold your soul, now he's coming back for more
No fighting it, it will only make it worse
You signed the line, you said the words
Get ready for the end of everything (Don't look down)
Get ready for the end of everything (Don't look down)

Yo, the Devil's at your door (The Devil's at your door)
You sold your soul, now he's coming back for more

Both
Don't fight it, it will only make it worse
You signed the line, you said the words
Get ready for the end of everything
Get ready for the end of everything

Oli
What have you done? You've opened it now
And I'm not sure there's anyway round
Why do you run? It's tripping me out
And I don't know if I can keep up with you now

The sky is falling, the sun is burning; a hallway to our eyes
The ground will open like an ocean and swallow us alive
You say you swear to God, now swear to me
You say you swear to God, now swear to me

Orifice Vulgatron
Yo, the Devil's at your door
You sold your soul, now he's coming back for more

Both
Don't fight it, it will only make it worse
You signed the line, you said the words
Get ready for the end of everything (You'll never take me, you’ll never win!)
Get ready for the end of everything

Oli
If I'm going down, I'll take the world with me

What have you done? You've opened it now
And I'm not sure there's anyway round
Why do you run? It's tripping me out
And I don't know if I can keep up with you now

The sky is falling, the sun is burning; a hallway to our eyes
The ground will open like an ocean and swallow us alive
You say you swear to God, now swear to me
You say you swear to God, now swear to me

The sky is falling, the sun is burning; a hallway to our eyes
The ground will open like an ocean and swallow us alive
You say you swear to God, now swear to me




You say you swear to God, now swear to me
Now swear to me, now swear to me

Overall Meaning

The song "Don't Look Down" by Bring Me the Horizon [2014] is an intense and dramatic track that explores the theme of dealing with the devil. The song appears to be narrated from the perspective of two characters, Oli and Orifice Vulgatron, who seem to be battling against the devil. The opening lines, "Don't look down, you'll never take me, you'll never win," suggest a sense of defiance towards eternal damnation.


The track’s verses hear Orifice Vulgatron delivering sharp and aggressive lyrics, warning about the devil’s return and the inevitability of the end of everything. The chorus is a foreboding reminder about the consequences of the character's actions and how they have unknowingly opened the doors to the end of the world. The bridge appears to be a final plea from Oli to convince the other character to face reality and accept what they have done.

Love this song, wish it was at least on spotify

@gntmattos98

I just love every music they make. But still, I miss this one on spotify, at the concerts, at everywhere. Most people dont even know this song exists. Probably it wouldnt make much success like another songs they have, but man, I like it so much that I feel people need to listen to it
