When it was time for the first release Eskobar was still a band without a name. The names that came up were either bad or taken. After a while they gave up. The problem was later solved when a friend of the band met an American manager and asked for help. He suggested Escobar. The band was informed and they approved. After changing the C into a K instead everyone was satisfied. Eskobar was born.
Tumbling Down
Eskobar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mark that stone Who is she?
Leave this town On your own
Take this sound To where you roam
If this could ever make you free my love
Then that's the way that it should be above
the sky is telling you to stay inside
Watch these men on the ground
Feel this rain come tumbling down
All those dreams washed away
Change your ways let the children play
The opening lines suggest that hard times are inevitable, and rather than resisting them, it is important to face them head on. The line "mark that stone, who is she?" could refer to taking note of the obstacles or challenges that come our way and identifying what they represent. It could also be interpreted as a call to remember the people and experiences that have shaped us, both positively and negatively.
The following lines urge the listener to leave their comfort zone and explore new territories, taking their feelings and emotions with them. The lyric "if this could ever make you free my love" indicates that this journey is not just physical but also an emotional one. The singer is suggesting that freedom and liberation lie in embracing change and moving forward, rather than staying stuck in one place.
The second half of the song becomes more metaphorical, with references to the natural world. The line "watch these men on the ground, feel this rain come tumbling down" highlights the fragility of human existence and the power of nature to wash it all away. The chorus then reiterates the need for change and growth, in order to create a better world for future generations.
Overall, "Tumbling Down" can be seen as a call to action, urging the listener to face their challenges head on, embrace change, and work towards a better future.
