Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm counting on you
We're all in this together
So don't let me down
Everything I do, I do for you
For you, so I'll be around
I'll be around, I'll be around
So don't let me down, don't let me down
She run away
But I don't care
She won't come
Cause she already there
I love to hate her
I hate to love her
I stand behind
I rise above her
Yeah, chase em all away
We chase em all away
Chase em all away
We chase em all away
Love to hate her
I hate to love her
I stand behind
I rise above her
Remember, remember
We're all in this together
So don't let me down
Everything I do, I do for you
For you, so I'll be around
She walk away
But I don't care
She do her nails
And she dye her hair
I love to hate her
I hate to love her
I stand beside
I rise above her
Yea, chase 'em all away
We chase 'em all away
Chase 'em all away
We chase 'em all away
I love to hate her
I hate to love her
I stand beside
I rise above her
Remember, remember
We're all in this together
So don't let me down
Everything I do, I do for you
For you, so I'll be around
Come on baby take a chance on me
Come on baby have a dance with me tonight
The lyrics to L.I.D.E.'s song, "Don't Let Me Down" are about the importance of relying on one another and the pain that can come from unrequited love. The lyrics open with the singer addressing someone, perhaps a friend or partner, and asking them not to let them down. The singer then declares that everything they do, they do for this person, and that they will always be there for them. The next verse is about a woman who has left, but the singer does not care because she is already where she wants to be. The chorus then repeats the message of relying on one another before the song dives into another verse about the woman who left. The singer loves to hate her and hates to love her, but ultimately stands beside her and rises above her. The chorus repeats again before the song ends with an invitation to dance.
The song's message is about the importance of depending on others and the pain that can come with unreciprocated feelings. The opening line, "Hey man, I'm counting on you," sets the tone for the song's themes of trust and mutual support. The lyrics that follow detail the ways in which the singer is willing to support this person and asks for the same in return. The repeated lines, "Remember, remember, we're all in this together," emphasize the importance of community and how we all need each other to thrive.
The verses about the woman who has left are a deeper exploration of the pain that can come from unrequited love. The lines, "I love to hate her, I hate to love her," speak to the contradictory emotions that can exist when you love someone who does not love you back. The repeated lines, "Chase 'em all away, we chase 'em all away," could also be read as a desire to distance oneself from those who create emotional pain. The invitation to dance at the end of the song could be seen as an attempt to push past heartache and connect with others.
