Down
Jason Walker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm standing at the back
And I'm tired of waiting
Waiting here in line
Hoping that I'll find what I've been chasing
I shot for the sky
I'm stuck on the ground
I thought I could fly, so why did I drown?
Never know why it's coming down, down, down
Not ready to let go
'Cause then I'd never know
What I could be missing
But I'm missing way too much
So when do I give up what I've been wishing for?
I shot for the sky
I'm stuck on the ground
So why do I try, I know I'm gonna to fall down
I thought I could fly, so why did I drown?
Never know why it's coming down, down, down
Oh I am going down, down, down
Can't find another way around
And I don't want to hear the sound
Of losing what I never found
I shot for the sky
I'm stuck on the ground
So why do I try, I know I'm gonna to fall down
I thought I could fly, so why did I drown?
I never know why it's coming down, down, down
I shot for the sky
I'm stuck on the ground
So why do I try, I know I'm gonna to fall down
I thought I could fly, so why did I drown?
Oh it's coming down, down, down
The song "Down" by Jason Walker is a representation of the struggle that people face when they are trying to achieve their dreams, but they find themselves stuck in a rut instead of soaring. In the song, the singer is questioning why things never seem to work out despite his best efforts. He feels like he has been waiting patiently and trying everything possible to make his dreams a reality, but things just seem to be going in the opposite direction. The lyrics express deep frustration and confusion about why things haven't gone as planned.
The song's chorus repeates the lines, "I shot for the sky, I'm stuck on the ground, so why do I try, I know I'm gonna fall down," which represents the quagal between trying to achieve something greater and the reality of life's limitation. The singer is trying to find answers to why his efforts feel futile when he is trying so hard to succeed. He is holding onto hopes and dreams because he doesn't want to miss out on opportunities, but at the same time, he is missing out on the present because he is so focused on the future.
The message of the song serves as a reminder of the importance of enjoying the process of the journey, living in the moment, and not solely focusing on the end goal. It reminds us that setbacks and failures are inevitable but the will to move forward should never be lost. The song's theme resonates with individuals who feel stuck in life but have their eyes set high.
Line by Line Meaning
I don't know where I'm at
Feeling lost and unsure of his surroundings
I'm standing at the back
Feeling like he's not in the forefront of his own life
And I'm tired of waiting
Growing restless from waiting for something to happen
Waiting here in line
Life feels like a long wait for something to come
Hoping that I'll find what I've been chasing
Hopeful that he'll eventually achieve what he's been striving for
I shot for the sky
Set his sights high
I'm stuck on the ground
Feels held back by his limitations
So why do I try, I know I'm gonna to fall down
Doubt in himself and his ability to achieve great things
I thought I could fly, so why did I drown?
Reflecting on past failures and questioning his own decisions
Never know why it's coming down, down, down
Uncertain of the reasons behind his downfalls
Not ready to let go
Holding onto hope and the possibility of success
'Cause then I'd never know
Fear of regretting not continuing on the same path
What I could be missing
Aware of potential missed opportunities
But I'm missing way too much
Realizing the cost of continuing down a fruitless path
So when do I give up what I've been wishing for?
Questions whether to give up on his goal or continue chasing it
Can't find another way around
Unable to find an alternative solution
And I don't want to hear the sound
Refusing to entertain the thought of failure
Of losing what I never found
Fear of losing out on his dream forever
