Down in Flames
Ella Vos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watchin' you pretend we're okay
Every weekend we hitchhike to hell
And you only think 'bout yourself
If we're going down
We're going down in flames
Don't speak
I'll try to save us from ourselves
If were going down
We're going down in flames
Going down in flames
Burning on your tongue every minute
We were too young couldn't see it
Every weekend we hitchhike to hell
And you only think 'bout yourself
If we're going down
We're going down in flames
Flyin' round the highway, tryna get away
Don't speak
I'll try to save us from ourselves
If were going down
We're going down in flames
Going down in flames
Do you dream about me looking to buy gold
Do you dream about me about me, about me
If we're going down
We're going down in flames
Flyin' round the highway, tryna get away
Don't speak
I'll try to save us from ourselves
If were going down
We're going down in flames
Going down in flames
If we're going down
We're going down in flames
Flyin' round the highway, tryna get away
Don't speak
I'll try to save us from ourselves
If were going down
We're going down in flames
Going down in flames
The song "Down in Flames" by Ella Vos paints a picture of a tumultuous and unstable relationship. The opening lines, "Slippin' off the edge out of phase, watchin' you pretend we're okay" are a clear indication that the singer is feeling disconnected from her partner who is putting on a façade of normalcy. The lines "every weekend we hitchhike to hell, and you only think 'bout yourself" suggest that the relationship is toxic and that the singer is consistently putting her own wellbeing second to that of her partner.
The chorus, "if we're going down, we're going down in flames, flyin' round the highway, tryna get away, don't speak, I'll try to save us from ourselves" is a desperate plea to salvage a relationship that’s already beyond repair. The singer recognizes that things are reaching a breaking point, and she's unwilling to let that happen. The lyrics are tinged with a sense of sadness and frustration at the realization that no matter what she does, the relationship is doomed to fail.
Overall, "Down in Flames" is an emotionally charged song that delves into the complexities of human relationships. It's a powerful reminder that sometimes the only thing left to do is to let go and move on.
