Downfall
DJ Antoine Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, once I was king
Yeah, and you were, you were my queen
And we ruled it all
Oh, didn’t we, didn’t we love
Now the memories and frames are just pictures hanging on the wall
And the house that was our home is just a monument to our fall

You think that this hurts

It only gets worse
My heart is so filled up with pain it could burst
How can I give up
I love you too much
The only thing I ever wanted was us
You, you, you were my downfall
You, you, you are my downfall

You moved out to the coast
I hear you’re seeing someone new
I am living with a ghost
I’m still haunted, haunted by you
But I’ll be around
If you’re ever, ever back in town
Doors always open
I could use some closure now

You think that this hurts
It only gets worse
My heart is so filled up with pain it could burst
How can I give up
I love you too much
The only thing I ever wanted was us
You, you, you were my downfall
You, you, you are my downfall

I thought we were set in stone
Thought you would never go
In my mind, yeah, I should have known
Memories won’t leave me alone
I’m stuck on pause cause of you
Man, I really don’t know what to do
I’ve been drinking and smoking a few
I hope I don’t end up on the news
Yeah, girl you know
Nothing compares
Feels like my life beyond repair
It’s so hard to sleep
When you’re not there, not there

You think that this hurts
It only gets worse
My heart is so filled up with pain it could burst
How can I give up
I love you too much
The only thing I ever wanted was us

You, you, you were my downfall
You, you, you are my downfall

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to DJ Antoine's song "Downfall" tell a story of a past relationship that has come to an end. The singer reflects on the time when they were together with their partner, feeling like royalty and ruling their world. However, now those memories seem distant and the once shared love has turned into pain. The memories and frames of their time together are merely pictures hanging on the wall, and the house that was once their home now serves only as a reminder of their downfall.

The singer expresses the intense heartache they are experiencing, emphasizing that the pain only gets worse. Their heart is filled with so much pain that it feels like it could burst. Despite the anguish, they cannot give up because they love their partner too much. All they ever wanted was to be together. The partner is seen as the cause of their downfall, hence the repetition of the line "You, you, you were my downfall, You, you, you are my downfall."

The second verse reveals that the partner has moved out to the coast and is rumored to be seeing someone new. The singer is left haunted and living with the ghost of their past love. They express their willingness to still be around and offer closure if the partner ever returns. The chorus repeats, with the singer expressing their inability to let go and their deep love for the partner.

Line by Line Meaning

Oh, once I was king
There was a time when I felt powerful and in control

Yeah, and you were, you were my queen
And you were the most important person in my life

And we ruled it all
Together, we had control over everything

Oh, didn’t we, didn’t we love
Our love for each other was undeniable

Now the memories and frames are just pictures hanging on the wall
But now, all that remains are mere photographs and memories

And the house that was our home is just a monument to our fall
And the place that used to be filled with love is now a symbol of our failure

You think that this hurts
You believe that this pain is unbearable

It only gets worse
But in reality, the pain will only intensify

My heart is so filled up with pain it could burst
My heart is overwhelmed by the agony, it feels like it might explode

How can I give up
How can I let go of this love

I love you too much
I still have an immense amount of love for you

The only thing I ever wanted was us
All I ever desired was our relationship

You, you, you were my downfall
You were the cause of my downfall

You, you, you are my downfall
You continue to be the reason for my downfall

You moved out to the coast
You relocated to the coast

I hear you’re seeing someone new
I have heard that you are involved with someone else now

I am living with a ghost
I am haunted by the memories of our past

I’m still haunted, haunted by you
I am still deeply affected by the thoughts of you

But I’ll be around
However, I will still be present

If you’re ever, ever back in town
In case you ever return to this place

Doors always open
My doors will always be open for you

I could use some closure now
I long for some sense of finality

I thought we were set in stone
I believed our relationship was permanent

Thought you would never go
I never expected you to leave

In my mind, yeah, I should have known
In retrospect, I should have been aware

Memories won’t leave me alone
The memories keep haunting me

I’m stuck on pause cause of you
Because of you, I feel trapped and unable to move forward

Man, I really don’t know what to do
Honestly, I am at a loss for what to do

I’ve been drinking and smoking a few
I have been consuming alcohol and cigarettes to cope

I hope I don’t end up on the news
I pray that my actions do not lead to a negative public portrayal

Yeah, girl you know
Yes, you understand

Nothing compares
Nothing else comes close

Feels like my life beyond repair
It seems like my life is irreparable

It’s so hard to sleep
I struggle to find peace and rest

When you’re not there, not there
When you are absent from my life
