Are You Down
Jackson Breit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bad girl, but I doubt it, cuz she neva seemed real ok
Got a little faded, then I asked her friends to stick around
They a lil jaded, I could tell right away they from this town
(Hook)
But are you down? (Are you down?) Are you down?
But are you down? (Are you down?) Are you down?
(2)
I know you know she can get it
But she tryna play cool right now
She know that she gon' come with it
Get it, get it, no more lay it down, ok
Take it, I take it, you right from the minute
I saw that you proving me wrong
Gave you the intimate, peeling you into it
Get it, I get it you on
You talk that shit if you think it like me, girl
To walk that shit is a whole 'notha thing, girl
Like usually I don't do this but with you it wouldn't count
Excuse me if I'm foolish but I'd do this shit right now
(Hook)
But are you down? (Are you down?) Are you down?
But are you down? (Are you down?) Are you down?
In the song "Are You Down" by Jackson Breit, the singer seems to be expressing his confusion regarding a woman he is interested in. He begins by saying that she claims to be "about it," but he cannot tell if she truly is. He describes her as a "bad girl," but then doubts this assessment because she doesn't seem "real okay." The singer then gets "a little faded" and asks the woman's friends to stick around. He notices that they seem "a little jaded" and "from this town."
The chorus asks the woman directly, "Are you down?" The singer seems to be questioning the level of her interest, commitment, and authenticity. In the second verse, the singer acknowledges the woman's attractiveness and how she is trying to play it cool. He implies that he is eager to hook up with her but acknowledges that sometimes words and actions can be different. He expresses his willingness to be vulnerable with her, saying that he is "peeling" himself into the situation. The singer is clear that he is willing to put himself out there, but he needs to know if she is down as well.
Overall, the song seems to be about the confusing dance that two people go through when they are trying to gauge the level of their mutual attraction. The lyrics suggest that the singer is willing to be vulnerable and honest about his feelings, but he needs the woman's reciprocation. The song is driven by a chill melody with a soulful beat that underscores the theme of taking things slow and being patient in a new relationship.
