Downtown
GiiRL Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Follow me downtown, I've been sipping on it
(Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me)
And I can still recall all the places we've ever been too,
Still loving it, through and through
(Follow me, follow me)

Let's go down there
Here the call
Follow me
Downtown for more

Take me downtownn
Do it all
For I still feel it
And I still want it all

Light will tear us apart, so
Let's rather light up the dark
(Follow me, follow me)
The edge has been burnin', the dark was too cold,
And here i've been sleeping with eyes shut just waiting for you
(Follow me, follow me)

I can still taste it,
Can you, too?
Headed downtown,
Pushes through

Let's go downtown
Do it all
For I still feel it
And I still want it all
Get high on it
All night long
Take me downtown
For I still want it all

Let's go down there
Here the call
Follow me
Downtown for more

Let's go downtown
Do it all
For I still feel it
And I still want it all
Get high on it
All night long




Take me downtown
For I still want it all

Overall Meaning

The song "Downtown" by GiiRL is a nostalgic and wistful recollection of memories with someone special. The lyrics metaphorically urge the listener to follow the singer downtown, where they can reminisce about the places they've been and the things they've done together. The line "I've been sipping on it" suggests that the singer is drinking to numb the pain of missing her lover. However, she can still recall their experiences with fondness and love.


The chorus repeats the phrase "Let's go downtown" as a call to action. The singer wants to relive those memories and rekindle the passion with her partner. The line "Light will tear us apart, so let's rather light up the dark" implies that they must create their own light and happiness, rather than letting the world tear them apart. The verse "The edge has been burnin', the dark was too cold, and here I've been sleeping with eyes shut just waiting for you" conveys the idea that the singer has been waiting for her lover to come back and make her feel alive again.


Overall, the song portrays the longing and desire for human connection, which is amplified by the chaotic nature of the world we live in. The idea of going downtown represents a sanctuary where the singer can escape the mundane and relive the happy memories with her loved one.

Thx so much! There you go :)

Follow me downtown, I’ve been sipping on it
And I can still recall all the places we’ve ever been too, still loving it, through and trough
nothing’s been a waste, when it still leaves a taste
Look in my eyes and you see all the lights that are reflecting the bones of our old city

Let’s go down there
Here the call
Follow me, follow me
downtown for more

Take me downtownn
do it all
For I still feel it
And i want it all
get high on it
all night long
Let’s go downtown
For i still want it all

Light will tear us apart, so let’s us rather light up the dark
The edge has been burnin’, the dark was too cold, and here i’ve been sleeping with eyes shut just waiting for you
fall right through it, I’m walking on air
All of those days i was locked in a haze but i can still recall and remember you

i can still taste it,
can you, too?
it’s still right here, pushes through

Take me downtownn
do it all
For I still feel it
And i want it all
get high on it
all night long
Let’s go downtown
For i still want it all
