Down
Criss Angel Lyrics

In Criss Angel's song "Down," the lyrics seem to be a commentary on human behavior and a criticism of the negative aspects of it. The opening lines, "You don't look hard to find, what's deep in your mind, it's easier to hate than see," suggest that people are quick to judge and hate instead of trying to see things from a different perspective. The stanza also seems to imply that some people have deeply ingrained beliefs that they will never change, hence the phrase "convictions of stone." The line "you kill off your own" could potentially refer to the idea that people sometimes hurt others in their own community, which could create a sense of chaos and destruction.

The pre-chorus takes a more critical tone, stating that the "masses" are "dead inside," and they need to open their eyes to see the truth about the world. The phrase "seeing your blindsight" seems to suggest that some people are not able to see what is happening around them because of their own biases or worldview. The chorus asks a poignant question, "Why's humankind going down?" and suggests that the world is not in a good place. The lyrics ponder whether the singer is the only one who can see and feel this decline, highlighting the idea that some people may not care about the state of the world or are blind to it.

In the second verse, the lyrics suggest that people wear "disguises" and "self-righteous lies" to cover up their own ignorance, leading to the destruction of things they do not understand. The final pre-chorus suggests that the person addressed in the song is "going down" and is a "sucka'" for not being able to see the truth. The final chorus repeats the idea that only the singer seems to be able to see the decline of human thought, questioning whether they are the only one who will not go down with the rest of the world.
