Turn It Up We're Going Down
Crowned King Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's never as it seems
They're so absurd so old
T hey swear they won't do ya
Swear they won't do ya wrong
So are you with me
Are you with me
There's nowhere left for us to run, away
And while they keep us scared, so scared to make a sound
Let's turn it up we're going down
Let's break the silence
Let's not break the news
Cause breaking stories breaks the hearts of children
What's there left to do
So are you with me
Are you with me
The lyrics to Crowned King's song "Turn It Up We're Going Down" are about breaking away from the traditional ways of the world that the singers feel are suffocating them. The song urges the listener to reject the negativity and absurdities in the world and not to be afraid to be heard or stand up for what is right. The singers also stress the importance of unity, asking if the listener is with them in this mission to break free from the chains of conformity.
The song's lyrics also allude to the idea of impending doom or disaster, with lines like "Everything is coming down" and "There's nowhere left for us to run, away." The singers seem to suggest that instead of allowing fear to consume them, they should turn up the volume and face the problems head-on. The line "Let's break the silence, let's not break the news" implies that the singers want action rather than just talk, and they don't want to further distress those who are already struggling.
Overall, "Turn It Up We're Going Down" can be seen as a call to action, urging listeners to break free from the confines of the world's expectations and be unapologetically themselves.
