Sundown
L.I.F.E. Long & Oktober Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I look outside of my window
To see what I can see
I won't be going nowhere
Whenever I get you next to me
The sun's going down
I got to be there soon
Cus I'm coming down
With the five o' clock blues

I look outside of my window
I can't see anything
I'm thinking about going somewhere
But I'm stuck inside 'til spring
The sun's going down
I got to be there soon
Cus I'm coming down
With the five o' clock blues
I can't see through my window
I think I'm a little insane
I'm feeling a little heavy
Out of touch with the common plain
The sun's going down
I got to be there soon

Cus I'm coming down
With the five o' clock blues

Line by Line Meaning

I look outside of my window
I observe the world outside my personal bubble

To see what I can see
To gain insight into the world

I won't be going nowhere
I am content in my current situation

Whenever I get you next to me
When I am with my loved one

The sun's going down
The day is ending

I got to be there soon
I have a responsibility to fulfill shortly

Cus I'm coming down
Because I am experiencing a low

With the five o' clock blues
With the sadness of the end of the day

I look outside of my window
I continue to seek understanding of the world

I can't see anything
I am struggling to find clarity

I'm thinking about going somewhere
I have a desire for change
