Down To Earth
Incognito Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In this game of chance
But you can't take for granted
That you've got it all worked out
Fool if you think there's nothing left to learn
You got to get down, get down, get down
Back down to earth
How could you not know?
There's quite a way to go
The wheels won't stop from turning
The chapters ever changing
We can't allow ourselves to be blinded by pride
We are so small in the plan of creation
Gravitate, gravitate, gravitate
Elevate, elevate, elevate
Your mind
So, you think there's nothing left to learn
You got to get down, get down, get down
Back down to earth
There's a story of a man
Who bragged he knew it all
Arrogance outspoken
He died alone and broken
Fool if you think there's nothing left to learn
You got to get down, get down, get down
Back down to earth
The lyrics of Incognito's "Down To Earth" warn against the dangers of arrogance and the belief that one knows everything. It urges listeners to recognize that life is a game of chance and that they cannot take anything for granted. The first verse juxtaposes the smile life has cast with the unpredictable nature of the world. The chorus emphasizes the importance of getting down to earth and recognizing that there is always more to learn.
The second verse continues to build on the idea that one cannot know everything, no matter how much they think they do. The wheels won't stop from turning, and life continually changes. Therefore, we cannot allow ourselves to be blinded by pride. We must gravitate and elevate our minds to learn and grow continuously. The final verse tells the story of a man whose arrogance caused him to die alone and broken, emphasizing the dangers of thinking there is nothing left to learn.
The song encourages listeners to stay open-minded, humble, and continuously seeking knowledge. It shows that we can always learn more and that our understanding is finite. The use of the metaphor of getting down to earth and elevating one's mind portrays the importance of balance and perspective.

Life has cast a smile
Life has been good to you
In this game of chance
Life is unpredictable
But you can't take for granted
You should not assume
That you've got it all worked out
You have everything figured out
How could you not know?
How could you be unaware?
There's quite a way to go
There is still a lot to learn
The wheels won't stop from turning
Life keeps moving forward
The chapters ever changing
Life is full of unexpected events
We can't allow ourselves to be blinded by pride
We should not be arrogant
We are so small in the plan of creation
We are insignificant in the grand scheme of things
Gravitate, gravitate, gravitate
Focus on what's important
Elevate, elevate, elevate
Strive for self-improvement
Your mind
Your thoughts and beliefs
There's a story of a man
An example of a man
Who bragged he knew it all
Who was overly confident
Arrogance outspoken
His arrogance was evident
He died alone and broken
He suffered the consequences of his actions
Fool if you think there's nothing left to learn
It's foolish to believe that you know everything
You got to get down, get down, get down
You need to acknowledge your limitations and weaknesses
Back down to earth
Be humble and realistic
