DWNTWN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
in your eyes i will hide
if you were in the east i was in the west
we split slipt a cigeret but i dont know know
in your eyes i will cry
in your eyes i will lie
you cross the line at night
i really should have seen it
but were long gone gone we were over long before we were over
did you think we would stick together?
i dont want you, i dont want you like i used to
we were over long before we were over
Oh oh oh oh before we were over before we were over
did you ever love me?
i guess we will never know now
but i never did
we were so wrong wrong
and you were so wrong wrong
in your hands i will trust
in your hands i will rust
you crossed the line at night
i really shoud've seen it
It happend all the time
but were long long gone we were over long before we were over
what did you think we would always stay together
i dont want you i dont want you like i used to
we were over long before we were over
before we were over before we were over
what did you think we would always stay together
i dont want you i dont want you like i used to
we were over long before we were over
did you think we would always stay together
i dont want you i dont want you like i used to
we were over long before we were over
did you think we would always stay together
i dont want you i dont want you like i used to
we were over long before we were over
what did you think we would always stay together
i dont want you i dont want you like i used to
The lyrics of DWNTWN's song "Transition" depict the aftermath of a failed relationship. The singer of the song is addressing their former partner, with whom they shared an intense connection. In the first verse, the singer describes the depth of emotion they felt for their partner, but ultimately had to conceal it from the latter. The second verse implies a sense of betrayal, as the partner had crossed a line during the relationship, and the singer was too blinded by love to recognize it. The chorus repeats the phrase "we were over long before we were over," which suggests that the relationship had been doomed from the start and perhaps came to a natural end. The final verse again highlights the trust that the singer had in their partner, but this time it is tainted, as the partner only caused their trust to rust.
Throughout the song, the singer acknowledges the fact that they and their partner were not meant to be together, but at the same time, there is a sense of sadness and longing for what could have been. The lyrics are emotional and introspective, showcasing the ups and downs of a relationship that unfortunately did not work out.
