Sundown
MC Mario Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You walk away
I should have known
To stay away
From you
Lights down
You fade to gray
Your heart would stray away
Ai-ai-ai
Watching the sun go down [x2]
Without you
[x2]
Dumb man
You walk away
I should have known
To stay away
From you, you
Ghost town
With faith you play
You should have known
I'd walk away
From you
Ai-ai-ai
Watching the sun go down [x2]
Without you
[x2]
The lyrics of MC Mario's song 'Sundown' seems to paint a picture of a person who has been in a relationship that has met its end, and the pain that comes with it. The song opens with the singer recognizing his mistake of not staying away from his former partner. The feeling is all but too familiar, when you realize that you are better off without a particular someone but under the influence of emotions, you tend to neglect that fact. The singer finds out later that the former partner had strayed away, and maybe that was what led to the botched relationship.
The second verse of the song shifts focus from the singer's mistake to the former partner's mistake. The singer recognizes the former partner's inability to keep faith in the relationship leading to ghost town-like emptiness. Similarly, the former partner should have known that the singer was going to walk away. This segment of the song seems to connote that the relationship that defined these two characters must have been a toxic one.
In conclusion, the song 'Sundown' by MC Mario is an emotional one that highlights the excruciating pain comes with ending a toxic relationship.

Line by Line Meaning
You walk away
You left me alone
I should have known
I regret not realizing earlier that this would happen
To stay away
I should have avoided you to begin with
From you
From your presence and influence
Lights down
The atmosphere is somber and subdued
You fade to gray
Your energy and spark have diminished
Your heart would stray away
You were always going to lose interest and move on
Ai-ai-ai
Expressing both frustration and sadness
Watching the sun go down [x2]
Observing the end of the day, which symbolizes the end of a relationship
Without you [x2]
Acknowledging the absence of their partner
Dumb man
Self-deprecating insult, implying the singer was foolish to fall for their partner
Ghost town
Metaphor for how they feel after their partner left – empty and deserted
With faith you play
You were reckless with my feelings, hoping I would stick around despite your behavior
I'd walk away
Eventually, I would have had enough of your manipulations and ended things myself
