Downtown
D.Core Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pushed me far over the edge
It's second nature
That will lead me to the end
Passenger of old glory
A prisoner in steel
And I will close my eyes tight
To pretend that it's not real
Awaiting recovery
From a downtown hurricane
A downtown hurricane
So far from a mystery
If that's the way it has to be
And I won't die in vain
And I'll fight through the pain
Of this downtown hurricane
Don't know where we are going
Who cares where we have been
Ended the story long before
It could begin
And if I turn away
Would you be waiting for me
Those two-faced lies
Will pass you by
In a coma fantasy
In a first degree memory
Long past recovery
In a downtown hurricane
In a downtown hurricane
So far from a mystery
If that's the way it has to be
And I won't die in vain
And I'll fight through the pain
Of a downtown hurricane
The lyrics of D.Core's song "Downtown" depict a sense of being overwhelmed and trapped in a tumultuous and destructive situation. The phrase "instant persuasion" suggests that the singer was quickly convinced or influenced to push themselves to a breaking point. It becomes second nature for them to be led to the edge, as if it's an inherent part of who they are.
The mention of being a "passenger of old glory" and a "prisoner in steel" further emphasizes this feeling of being trapped and unable to escape their circumstances. The singer resorts to closing their eyes tightly, trying to deny the reality of their situation and pretend that it is not real. However, deep down, they know they cannot stay in denial forever, as they acknowledge the need to "lock it up and lose the key," awaiting a recovery from this "downtown hurricane."
The repetition of the phrase "downtown hurricane" serves as a metaphor for the chaos and turmoil the singer is experiencing. They feel far from understanding or solving the mystery of their situation, but they refuse to let their struggles be in vain. They vow to fight through the pain and not die meaninglessly. The lyrics also hint at broken promises and deceit ("two-faced lies") that the singer has encountered, adding to the feeling of being betrayed and lost.
Overall, "Downtown" portrays a sense of being caught in a destructive cycle and trying to navigate through the storm of emotions and hardships, determined to find a way out and not let their struggles define them.
