From The Highest Point
Down Below Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I live, I die
Yes, I will die like you
I rise and I fall
Yes, I will fall like you

I love and I hate
Yes, I will hate like you, like you
Yes, everything, everything like you

That's the feeling
Back down on my feet
From the highest point
I'm down, down on my knees

That's the feeling
I'm lost on my feet
And from the highest point
I'm falling down on my knees

I'm right, I'm wrong
I will be wrong like you
I promise, I lie
I will tell you lies like you

I create and I destroy
I will destroy like you, like you
Yes, everything, everything like you

I'm falling, I'm falling down
From the highest point on my knees
I'm falling, I'm falling down




That's the feeling
Like you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Down Below's song "From The Highest Point" reflect on the human condition and the similarities we share in our experiences of life. The opening lines, "I live, I die/Yes, I will die like you/I rise and I fall/Yes, I will fall like you" demonstrate that no matter who we are or where we come from, we all face the same inevitable fate of death and the highs and lows of life. The repetition of "like you" emphasizes this unity and vulnerability we share.


The next lines, "I love and I hate/Yes, I will hate like you, like you/Yes, everything, everything like you" express the complexity of human emotions and the fact that we are all capable of experiencing both love and hate. The repetition of "like you" further emphasizes this point that we are not alone in these experiences.


The chorus of the song, "That's the feeling/Back down on my feet/From the highest point/I'm down, down on my knees/That's the feeling/I'm lost on my feet/And from the highest point/I'm falling down on my knees" juxtaposes the emotions of being both on top of the world, and then falling to our lowest points. The idea of being on our knees represents humility and vulnerability, which is a recurring theme in the lyrics.
