Do Something
Denali Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All I am now, fall for a way down
More than a handshake or a grin
More than a test for old friends
I'll wait til Monday for a step outside
You can pretend all you want to I don't mind
More than a handshake or a grin
More than a test for old friends
One more chance to, chance to do something
Pushed you down and out
Farther than I should
Wanted just enough
A rescue never could
It's only in the dark
Eyes can be open or shut




One more chance to, chance to do something
All I am now, fall for a way down

Overall Meaning

In Denali's "Do Something" lyrics, the artist talks about the complexity of friendship and relationships while acknowledging their own faults in pushing people away. The opening lines, "All I am now, fall for a way down," express vulnerability and a sense of feeling lost or broken. The repetition of the lines, "More than a handshake or a grin/More than a test for old friends," suggest that there is more to relationships than surface level interactions or history. The singer suggests that they are willing to take a risk or make a change by waiting until Monday for a "step outside," but acknowledges that others may pretend, showing a lack of trust.


"Pushed you down and out/Farther than I should/Wanted just enough/A rescue never could" paints a picture of a strained relationship in which the singer had unrealistic expectations and in turn, caused harm to the other person. The line, "It's only in the dark/Eyes can be open or shut," could be interpreted in a few ways. Perhaps it is a reference to emotional blindness or denial, or it could be taken at face value, noting that the darkness of a situation can bring out different reactions from people. The final lines, "One more chance to, chance to do something/All I am now, fall for a way down," express a desire for change and growth, while acknowledging that there is still a long road ahead.


Overall, "Do Something" is a song about grappling with the complexities of relationships and human interaction. It's a reminder that there is always room for growth and change, and that sometimes the biggest obstacle to achieving it can be ourselves.
