Brownlow
Låpsley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is how I'm seeing us go
I′m higher than I was before
Higher than I was before
(This is how I'm seeing us go)
Higher than I was before
Higher than I was before
I set the deal straight
But 24/7 a person can′t wait
I will turn and walk away
If you want me to
If it′s best for you
If you want me to
I wouldn't say that I was known for doing the right thing
I wouldn′t say that I was always comfortable in my own skin
No I know
But I know
It's like I′m jumping into a pool that I don't know where the bottom end is
What′s the current and I don't know if I am sure of this
But I live for the moment
My life on the turn when it comes down to this
And when I am sure of this
And when it comes down to this
And when I am sure of this
And when it comes down to this
And when I am sure of this
And when it comes down to this
The lyrics to Låpsley's song Brownlow seem to be about someone who is taking a bit of a risk and putting their faith in the unknown. The repetition of the phrase "This is how I'm seeing us go" seems to indicate that the singer has a vision for their future with another person, and they are committed to making it a reality.
The lines "I'm higher than I was before" and "My life on the turn when it comes down to this" suggest that the singer is experiencing a sense of excitement and anticipation about what might happen next. They are willing to take a leap of faith, even though they don't know exactly what they're getting into.
However, there is also a sense of uncertainty and vulnerability in the lyrics. The lines "It's like I'm jumping into a pool that I don't know where the bottom end is / What's the current and I don't know if I am sure of this" convey a feeling of fear or hesitation. Despite this, the singer seems determined to go through with it, even if it means making some sacrifices along the way.
Overall, the lyrics to Brownlow seem to capture the conflicting emotions that come with taking a risk in a relationship. There is excitement and hope, but also fear and uncertainty. The repetition of certain phrases throughout the song gives it a dreamy, almost repetitive quality that emphasizes the singer's commitment to their vision.

Random story. On a three hour playlist, with only one Lapsley song (big mistake) I gave birth to my daughter with this song playing. It had been a song my partner always put on for me before baby was born because he knew it was my fave. So anyways, it was very special for my daughter to be born while it played! We played it after she was born while driving and both cried the first few times after her birth :) Pregnant again and there will be more than one on this next playlist! Thanks for the great music

That's so cool!
@julialaxer2508
"she's home when she is gone" that line gives me chills even thinking about it.
this song is brilliant in every way.
@tomassnaider7
chicken fingers I thought it said “this is how i’m seeing us go”
@GMR.24
@Tomás Snaider It definitely is.
@CapriciousI.N.F.A.N.T
It says because it’s hard when she is gone
@redboned2405
This song set on “repeat” driving long distances is literally highway therapy for me….
@leannaa6408
Same !
@lawrencemogatusi2629
Beautiful song.... She's so underrated and it's sad...
@circ131
I keep coming back to this. The aesthetic of the music video enhances the simple beauty of the song. She is a visionary.
