Ed E.T & D.T.R Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just before you go
So I don't need to see
When you're leaving me
Turn the lights down low
Just before you go
'Cause I can't take the pain
Turn off the lights
Don't wake me up
Before you go
Turn off the lights
Let me dream a little more
Leave me in the dark so I don't know
Turn the lights down low
Turn the lights down low
Just before you go
So I don't need to see
When you leaving me
Turn the lights down low
Just before you go
'Cause I can't take the pain
When you walk away
Turn off the lights
Don't wake me up
Before you go
Turn off the lights
Let me dream a little more
Leave me in the dark so I don't know
Turn the lights down low
Turn the lights down low
Just before you go
So I don't need to see
When you're leaving me
Turn the lights down low
Just before you go
'Cause I can't take the pain
When you walk away
Turn off the lights
Don't wake me up
Before you go
Turn off the lights
Let me dream a little more
Leave me in the dark so I don't know
Turn the lights down low
Turn the lights down low
Just before you go
So I don't need to see
When you leaving me
Turn the lights down low
Just before you go
'Cause I can't take the pain
When you walk away
Turn off the lights
Don't wake me up
Before you go
Turn off the lights
Let me dream a little more
Leave me in the dark so I don't know
Turn the lights down low
The lyrics to Ed E.T & D.T.R's song Down Low describe the pain of a breakup and the desire to avoid facing reality. The singer requests his partner to turn off the lights and leave quietly, so he doesn't have to witness the pain of their departure. He can't bear to see them go and asks to be left in the dark to prolong his dream a little more. The repetition of the phrase, "Turn the lights down low, just before you go," emphasizes the singer's desperation to cling to whatever illusion of love he has left. Our protagonist wants to be left alone with his thoughts, in the darkness, where he can continue to ignore the inevitable pain of loss.
The song's chorus "Turn off the lights, let me dream a little more, leave me in the dark so I don't know, Turn the lights down low," speaks to the song's overall theme of avoidance. The singer wants to stay in the bliss of ignorance for as long as possible, not wanting to face reality. The lyrics express the desperation and pain of a broken heart, illuminating the human experience of holding on when we know we should let go. The song's message is universal, communicating the difficulty of letting go and the lengths people will go to avoid the pain of loss.
Line by Line Meaning
Turn the lights down low
Create a dim environment by reducing the light intensity in this room
Just before you go
Before you leave this place
So I don't need to see
I don't want to see the moment you're leaving
When you're leaving me
When you depart from my life
'Cause I can't take the pain
Because I'm not strong enough to bear the agony
When you walk away
When you leave me behind and go your own way
Turn off the lights
Please switch off the light bulbs
Don't wake me up
Do not disturb me from my sleep
Before you go
Prior to your departure
Let me dream a little more
Give me some time to continue dreaming
Leave me in the dark so I don't know
Let me remain in the darkness, so I am unaware of what's happening
