Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Right now I need a miracle
Hurry up now, I need a miracle
Stranded, reaching out
I call your name but you're not around
I say your name but you're not around
I need you, I need you, I need you right now
Yeah, I need you right now
I think I'm losing my mind now
It's in my head, darling I hope
That you'll be here, when I need you the most
So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
D-Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down, down, down
Don't let me down, don't let me down, down, down
R-r-running out of time
I really thought you were on my side
But now there's nobody by my side
I need you, I need you, I need you right now
Yeah, I need you right now
So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
I think I'm losing my mind now
It's in my head, darling I hope
That you'll be here, when I need you the most
So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
D-Don't let me down

The lyrics of DJ Mogens’s “Don’t Let Me Down” depicts the feeling of being lost and hopeless while seeking a savior to rescue the singer from their predicament. The opening lines of the song, “Crashing, hit a wall Right now I need a miracle,” paints the picture of a desperate and helpless person who needs assistance to overcome an obstacle. The singer repeatedly pleads with the person they are calling out to, to come to their aid “I need you, I need you, I need you right now … Don't let me down, don't let me down, don't let me down.” The lyricist explained how the person they are reaching out to is essential to their well-being and that their absence is worsening their mental state “… I think I'm losing my mind now, It's in my head, darling I hope, That you'll be here when I need you the most.”
The central idea of the song is a person crying out for help and feeling stranded without the aid of someone they deem crucial to their survival. It is an expression of vulnerability that calls upon people to offer a helping hand to those in distress.
