Not Coming Down
Ferry Corsten Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will I ever find my way?
Maybe that's the point of it
Learning that the road don't end
To look around
Enjoy the sound
And take the beauty in
On this high
I don't care what the world will say
'Cause I'm not coming down
'Cause I'm sure that the world
That I see in my mind is changed
And I'm not coming down today
Maybe there are no mistakes
Only what we have to face
So you don't have to feel regret
Join in for the ride instead
We're floating now
Above the ground
Hope this will never end
The song "Not Coming Down" by Ferry Corsten feat. Betsie Larkin is a beautiful track that talks about the experience of being in a place of happiness and joy and wanting to stay there forever. The opening lyrics, "Floating through the sky again, Will I ever find my way?" sets the tone of uncertainty and feeling lost, but it is quickly followed by "Maybe that's the point of it, Learning that the road don't end" which suggests that maybe being lost is not such a bad thing after all.
The second verse of the song, "Maybe there are no mistakes, Only what we have to face, So you don't have to feel regret, Join in for the ride instead" is a reminder to acknowledge and accept the things that have happened in the past, but to move on from them and to focus on the present, and to find joy and happiness in the present moment. The chorus, "On this flight, On this high, I don't care what the world will say, 'Cause I'm not coming down, 'Cause I'm sure that the world, That I see in my mind is changed, And I'm not coming down today" is a declaration of wanting to stay in that feeling of happiness and change the world for the better.
Overall, "Not Coming Down" talks about the importance of finding joy in the present moment, and not being weighed down by regrets or negativity from the past, and using that feeling of happiness to try to make a positive change in the world.
