Flume George Maple Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tread lightly, get ready to explode
Hush now, those eyes cannot harm you
Keep your wits about, don't let it bring you down
Don't let it bring you down x7
How can we disguise this awful truth?
I've seen it all before
Your eyes are wet
Your head is on the floor
And it's only a matter of time
Before we hit the ground running, running...
Don't let it bring you down x6
How can we disguise this awful truth?
Hush now, you're standing on a land mine
Tread lightly, get ready to explode
Hush now, your eyes cannot harm you
Keep your wits about, don't let it bring you down
And never let go
And I'm afraid of being too wrong
And I'm afraid of being too wrong in this side, oh
Don't let it bring you down x6
How can we disguise this awful truth?
The lyrics of the song "Bring You Down" by Flume and George Maple seem to speak about the need to stay cautious and alert in difficult situations. The opening lines, "Hush now, you're standing on a land mine. Tread lightly, get ready to explode" convey a sense of imminent danger, cautioning the listener to stay aware and avoid any missteps that could trigger a potentially catastrophic event. The repeated line "Don't let it bring you down" could be interpreted as a mantra to stay positive in the face of adversity.
The second verse of the song speaks to a feeling of helplessness in the face of an impending crisis. The lines "I've seen it all before. Your eyes are wet. Your head is on the floor" could suggest a sense of deja vu or a lack of control when faced with an overwhelming situation. However, the song ends with a note of hope, urging the listener to "never let go" and stay strong in the face of whatever comes their way.
In summary, "Bring You Down" seems to be a song about resilience, urging the listener to stay alert and avoid getting bogged down in the face of challenging circumstances. The lyrics also acknowledge the difficulty of staying positive when faced with adversity, but ultimately emphasizes the importance of staying strong and not letting negativity "bring you down."

flume's songs are such slow burners. never an instant like but there's something about each track that makes me come back until I'm listening it over and over again. plus when there are lyrics, they're sooo good.
@RamMohammadJosephKaur
Absolutely!The first time you listen, you think OK, this is good. Something different .And then you listen to it again. You try to focus on the lyrics(if its there).You realise how perfect the beats are.And then you can't stop listening to it.

Just found this song as I'm sitting here crying my eyes out, thinking deep about life. I thank all the Gods and Flume for such soul-touching music. It's the little things like this amazing song that keep me going. I hope all is well for everyone else, although I know everyone still goes through tough times. I do not know any of you, but I love you all. Spread the love. Love conquers all. <3
