I'm Coming Down
D Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Turn the lights out,
The party is over and the wines all gone,
Your good friends are headed home,
Wish I could be there,
I'm floating,
Was happy to hear you turned thirty-three,
You look good, you're so carefree,
Wish I could be there

But I thought you should know,
That inside I've grown cold,
And I fight every day to lose control,
It's a Saturday,
I'm coming down

Frustrated,
Got caught in the rain going to work today,
Soaked through for the job I hate,
I wish you could be here,
I'm choking,
Swallowed to much of my pride today,
The words that I just won't say,
I wish you could be here

But I thought you should know,
That inside I've grown cold,
And I fight every day to lose control,
It's a Saturday,
I'm coming down

For the first time, I've seen stars at night,
For the first time, I'm on fire

But I thought you should know,
That inside I've grown cold,
And I fight every day to lose control,
It's a Saturday,
I am coming down,




It's a Saturday,
I'm coming down.

Overall Meaning

The song "I'm Coming Down" by D is a melancholic reflection on loneliness and a struggle with self-control. The opening verse describes the end of a party where the singer had to leave early and misses being present for his friend's birthday celebration. However, he confesses that he is actually relieved to be away from the noise and that he is "floating" in his isolation. He admits to growing "cold" inside and fighting against his desire to lose control, which he associates with Saturdays, the day of the week the song takes place.


The second verse continues the theme of loneliness and dissatisfaction with life. The singer is frustrated with his job and getting drenched in the rain while going to work. He longs for companionship but cannot bring himself to express it, instead, he is "choking" on his unspoken thoughts. The repetition of the phrase "I wish you could be here" adds to the sense of yearning for someone who is absent. The chorus repeats the idea of fighting against self-control and adds a new line about seeing stars at night for the first time.


Overall, "I'm Coming Down" portrays a sense of detachment and disconnection from the world. The singer is struggling with life but cannot communicate his feelings to others. The use of imagery such as floating, choking, and seeing stars creates a dream-like atmosphere that reinforces the idea of being adrift and unsure.
