All The Way Down
Markéta Irglová and Glen Hansard Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You have broken me all the way down
Down upon my knees
And you have broken me all the way now
You'll be the last you'll see

And some fight you gave
When I pushed you away from me
And in the morning when you're turning

I'll be far to sea

And you have broken me all the way down
You'll be the last you'll see

And what chance had we got
When you missed every shot for me

And in the morning when you're turning
I'll be out of reach
And in the darkness when you find this
I'll be far to sea

And you have broken me all the way down
You'll be the last you see

Line by Line Meaning

You have broken me all the way down
You have completely shattered me emotionally and mentally

Down upon my knees
I am completely defeated and vulnerable

And you have broken me all the way now
You have now caused irreparable damage to me

You'll be the last you'll see
You will not see me again after this

And some fight you gave
You resisted my attempt to distance myself from you

When I pushed you away from me
When I tried to end the relationship with you

And in the morning when you're turning
When you awake in the morning and try to find me

I'll be far to sea
I will have already departed and be out of your reach

And what chance had we got
What were our odds of success

When you missed every shot for me
When you ultimately failed to make things work for us

And in the darkness when you find this
When you discover this message in the middle of the night

I'll be far to sea
I will be long gone and impossible to find

And you have broken me all the way down
You have completely destroyed me

You'll be the last you see
You will not see me again after this

One of my most favourite and memorable films of all time..the final scene where Marketa is playing her new Piano, thinking of Glen ..as the view zooms out from the apartment
