Down Hill
Drake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, I think it might be too late, we're too far gone
Chemistry's frozen, we feel disconnected and exposed
I can't remember, when last did we feel familiar?
Tell me you're ready, tell me you're ready to walk away

Overnight, overnight, we're done overnight
Overnight, overnight, we're done overnight
We tri-tri-tried, tried, tried
We tri-tri-tried
We tri-tri-tried, tried, tried
We tri-tri-tried
We tri-tri-tried, tried, tried, tried, tried, tried
Tri-tri-tried

I used to wonder how you could swear it's for life?
Constant confusion, nearing conclusion, going downhill
We spent last summer, we spent last summer so differently
I can't pretend, I can't pretend it was final

Overnight, overnight, we're done overnight
Overnight, overnight, we're done overnight

We tri-tri-tried, tried, tried
We tri-tri-tried
We tri-tri-tried, tried, tried
We tri-tri-tried
We tri-tri-tried, tried, tried, tried, tried, tried
Tri-tri-tried

We don't connect anymore, far, far far gone
We don't connect anymore, far, far far gone
We don't connect anymore, far, far far gone
We spent last summer, we spent last summer so differently
Tell me you're ready, tell me you're ready to walk away

We're goin' down, we're goin' downhill
Oh, we're goin' downhill
We're goin' down, we're goin' downhill
Oh, we're goin' downhill
We're goin' down, we're goin' downhill
Oh, we're goin' downhill




We're goin' down, we're goin' downhill
Oh, we're goin' downhill

Overall Meaning

In Down Hill, Drake sings about a relationship that has reached a breaking point. The chemistry between him and his partner has frozen, and they feel disconnected and exposed. They have tried to make things work, but nothing seems to be getting better. The singer reminisces about how they used to feel familiar and inseparable, but they now feel like strangers. He questions if it might be too late to fix things and if they are too far gone. The chorus suggests that the relationship has suddenly come to an end, and it feels like it happened overnight. Drake repeats the words "we tri-tri-tried" to emphasize that they have made an effort to make things work.


Drake wonders how they could have promised to be together forever, but now they are nearing the conclusion of the relationship. He continues to reminisce about the previous summer, which they spent together differently. Drake can't pretend that the relationship is getting better; it feels like it's going steeply downhill. The singer urges his partner to tell him if they are ready to walk away from the relationship. The song's title seems to be ironic as it discusses how the relationship is going downhill.
