Gravity
Days Away Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where he sits and wonders of
Why he never bothers with these little things
That really do matter
Like being alone for a little while
This time it feels alright
Hey you, over there
Hey you, on the other side
Is gravity getting you down
That's why we're here, we understand
{Chorus}:
That's why we're here
That's why we're standing
That's why we're here
Because we understand
Understand
Hey you, over there
Is gravity getting you down
Hey you, on the other side
Is gravity getting you down
'Cause this time it feels alright
{Chorus}
Understand
The lyrics to Days Away's song Gravity describe a person who is sitting alone in a corner, contemplating why they don't bother with the small things in life that really matter. They are content with their solitude and for the first time, they feel alright being alone. The chorus of the song addresses the idea that gravity, which is a force that pulls everything towards the center of the earth, could be a metaphor for the weight of the world's problems and struggles that can bring people down. The lyrics suggest that this person may be feeling the weight of the world's problems and struggles but that there are people around him who understand what he's going through and are there to lift him up.
The song's lyrics speak to the universal experience of feeling weighed down by the pressures of life and turning to others for support. It suggests that sometimes being alone can be an opportunity to reflect and find solace, but ultimately we are all connected and need each other to get through the struggles we face. The song's melody is upbeat and catchy, adding to the message that while life may be challenging at times, there are those around us who understand and are there to help us through.
