Go Down
Hensley Ken Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
At the window by the door
Wondering if she'll
Ever smile again
Her eyes filled with memories
And her life in sad array
Unaware of the colours of the day
She dare not cry for fear
But if she cared to try
I know it all could be so clear
But she's living in the past
She didn't know it wouldn't last
And it's a long, long, lonely road
Oh, to go down
The treasured names
You call each other just for fun
And as you woke
She kissed your eyes
You killed it all when it had
Only just begun
What's it take to make you realise
Love isn't easy though
Many like to think it is
But you must learn
To give and take or know
What you will miss
But she's living in the past
She didn't know it wouldn't last
And it's a long, long, lonely road
Oh, to go down
The lyrics to Hensley Ken's song "Go Down" are about a woman who is filled with memories and is struggling to move on from a past relationship. She sits by the window, wondering if she'll ever be able to smile again as her eyes are filled with sadness. She is so consumed by her past that she is unaware of the colors of the day, and she is afraid to cry because she fears that her hope might disappear. The singer believes that if she cared to try, things could be clearer for her. However, she is living in the past and didn't expect that the relationship wouldn't last. The song describes how it is a long and lonely road for her to go down.
The song suggests that the relationship ended because the couple was unable to give and take. Love isn't easy, though many may think it is, and the woman only realizes this after the relationship is over. She holds onto the treasured names that they used to call each other, but it seems like the man is no longer interested in the relationship. The woman is struggling to move on, and the singer suggests that she needs to learn how to give and take if she wants to find love again.

She sits so quietly
The woman is sitting at the window silently, lost in thought
At the window by the door
She is seated near the door, looking out the window
Wondering if she'll
She is unsure whether she will
Ever smile again
Be able to smile again
Her eyes filled with memories
Her eyes are full of memories
And her life in sad array
Her past is filled with sadness
Unaware of the colours of the day
She is unaware of what is happening around her
She dare not cry for fear
She is hesitant to cry because she is afraid
Her hope might disappear
Her hope may vanish
But if she cared to try
If she makes an effort
I know it all could be so clear
She could find clarity
But she's living in the past
She is still dwelling on the past
She didn't know it wouldn't last
She didn't realize that her past wouldn't last forever
And it's a long, long, lonely road
It's a difficult and solitary journey
Oh, to go down
Although it will be difficult, she must go forward
The treasured names
The loving nicknames
You call each other just for fun
The couple called each other loving names for fun
And as you woke
As the couple woke up
She kissed your eyes
The woman kissed the man's eyes
You killed it all when it had
The man ruined it when they had something good going
Only just begun
They had only started their relationship
What's it take to make you realise
What will it take to make you understand
Love isn't easy though
Love is not an easy thing
Many like to think it is
Many people tend to think that love is simple
But you must learn
But you have to figure out
To give and take or know
The importance of give and take
What you will miss
Otherwise you will miss out on the best parts of love
