Down for You
Cosmo's Midnight Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You said we'd just drop by
But I wasn't invited
You'd already decided
That I was coming too
I can't stand all these people
All trying to please you
They don't even see you
The way I do
Two AM, haven't left
No one cares, just me, I guess
But I can't leave you

I wasn't gonna say nothing
But I'm about to break something
How you gonna take all of my time

You know that I hate this place
But if you wanna stay, I do too
We'll let the night turn to day
Yeah, I'm down either way
'Cause I'm so down for you

And I can't find the patience
For all the conversations
And all of these blank faces
I should leave, I haven't yet
But when you smile, I just forget
But I can stay a while, I guess

I wasn't gonna say nothing
But I'm about to break something
How you gonna take all of my time

You know that I hate this place
But if you wanna stay, I do too
We'll let the night turn to day
Yeah, I'm down either way
'Cause I'm so down for you

You know that I hate this place
But if you wanna stay, I do too
We'll let the night turn to day
Yeah, I'm down either way
'Cause I'm so down for you

You know that I hate this place
But if you wanna stay, I do too
We'll let the night turn to day
Yeah, I'm down either way
'Cause I'm so down for you

I'm so down for you
So down for you
For you
I'm so down for you




For you
For you

Overall Meaning

The song "Down for You" by Cosmo's Midnight Ruel talks about the struggles of being in a relationship where one person doesn't particularly enjoy the social scene, but is still willing to endure it for the sake of their partner. The lyrics begin with the persona feeling hesitant about going to an event that they weren't particularly invited to. While at the event, the persona feels uncomfortable around the people trying to please their partner, who they see in a different light. Despite this, the persona remains for their partner, forgetting their discontentment whenever they smile. The song concludes with the persona stating that they are "down for" their partner regardless of the circumstances.


The song portrays the persona's struggle of whether to prioritize their own needs or those of their partner. It explores themes of sacrifice, compromise, and selflessness. The lyrics convey that love comes with compromises: it requires individuals to put their own preferences aside to prioritize their loved ones. The song's tempo complements the lyrical content, with its dreamy and serene tones complementing the sense of turmoil and tension conveyed in the persona's situation.

You said we'd just drop by but

You'd already decided
That I was coming too
I can't stand all these people
All trying to please you
They don't even see you
The way I do
2am, haven't left
No one cares
Just me I guess
But I can't leave you

[Pre-Chorus: Ruel]
I wasn't gonna say nothing
But I'm about to break something
How you gonna take all of my time?

[Chorus: Ruel]

We'll let the night turn to day
Yeah, I'm down either way
'Cause I'm so down for you

[Verse 2: Ruel]
Yeah, I can't find the patience
For all the conversations

I wasn't gonna say nothing
But I'm about to break something
How you gonna take all of my time?

You know that I hate this place
But if you wanna stay I do too
We'll let the night turn to day
Yeah, I'm down either way
'Cause I'm so down for you

[Outro: Ruel]
I'm so down for you
So down for you
For you
I'm so down for you
So down for you (For you)
