No Regrets
Down for the Count Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

This year, i fear that i'll be swept away, gone from here
You see my plea for this sunken diplomacy
I miss those talks and fights that kept us up all those nights
Just as the rains have started now
I'll look into my past
And she said if i'm not enough to keep you here
Then go with no regrets
Then go with no regrets

It's unfortunate that this closure will be a little less than perfect to me
This can't be the end of an era well spent
The crowns that we wore were made of gold
And kept us warm in the cold
Just as the rains have started now
I'll look into my past
And she said if i'm not enough to keep you here

Then go with no regrets
Then go with no regrets

Overall Meaning

The first few lines of Down for the Count's song "No Regrets" signify a sense of unease and anxiety as the singer fears being swept away, possibly indicating a feeling of losing control over their life. The sentiment of "sunken diplomacy" suggests an unsuccessful attempt at resolving conflicts, perhaps with a loved one. The following lines express nostalgia for the past, where talks and fights kept them up all night long. The imagery of rain represents the emotions of sadness and loss that accompany the realization that the past cannot be regained.

The lyrics express a conversation where one person tells the singer that if they are not enough to keep them around, they should leave with no regrets. This suggests that the relationship is coming to an end or that the singer is considering leaving for reasons that are not entirely clear. The line "this closure will be a little less than perfect to me" indicates that the ending is not how the singer would like it to be. The reference to "crown" depicts a time where things were better, reinforcing the sense of nostalgia in the previous lines. The song ends with the repetition of the phrase "go with no regrets," portraying a message of acceptance that one must move forward even in the face of uncertainty.

I want us to communicate better and improve our relationship

I miss those talks and fights that kept us up all those nights
I miss the conversations and arguments we had that made us stay up late

Just as the rains have started now
The rain has started at this moment
