Don't Let Me Down
Dots Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been let down many times before
I know it gets easier
I can't help but feel insecure
When I realise I just wanted to please yer

Wasting time's something I can't afford
It all goes too fast
There's nothing worse simply being bored
I'm sore sinking deeper

Tell me who are you
Tell me what to do
And I'll comply
Oh why am I content
To hold my heart
I'll walk the other way

Don't be my voice
Give me a choice
So I can sing from way up high
Don't wait for me to come down

I feel I never know what I want
There are too many options
But to find that bliss
Turning bitter into sweet

Don't tell me which way
That I should turn
But also did I miss the right turn?
Must I turn back?
Got the wrong path

Tell me who are you
Tell me what to do
And I'll comply
Oh why am I content
To hold my heart
I'll walk the other way

Don't be my voice
Give me a choice
So I can sing from way up high
Don't wait for me to come down

Don't let me come down
But don't let me down
Don't let me down

Don't let me come down




But don't let me down
Don't let me down

Overall Meaning

In these lyrics, the artist Dots reflects on their past experiences of feeling let down and how it has shaped their current mindset. They acknowledge that being let down is a common occurrence in life, but also realize that it becomes easier to handle over time. However, they can't help but feel insecure when they realize that their desire to please others has contributed to their own sense of disappointment.


The artist emphasizes the value of time and the fear of wasting it. They feel that life moves too fast and being bored is the worst thing that can happen. They express a sense of sinking deeper into this feeling, suggesting that it becomes more difficult to escape or find purpose.


Dots then addresses someone, asking who they are and seeking guidance on what to do. They express a willingness to comply with their advice, but also question why they are content with holding back their own desires and choices, indicating a desire for independence and self-expression. They proclaim their determination to walk their own path, suggesting a desire to break free from external influences.


The artist pleads for freedom of choice and a voice of their own. They want to sing from a position of empowerment and perspective, rather than being constrained or influenced by others. They urge the other person not to wait for them to conform or come down to their level, emphasizing their desire for self-determination and personal growth.


In the concluding lines, Dots expresses a yearning to not be brought down by negative experiences or circumstances. They want to be lifted up and supported, while also not wanting to depend on others for their own happiness. The repetition of "Don't let me down" serves as a plea to both themselves and those around them to not let their optimism and aspirations be dismantled.
