Comedown
Minuit Machine Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lay down, no, don't you close your eyes
Don't sleep, now it's time you think again
I'm at your feet, begging you to hold my hand
Struggling with your mind trying to forget
What you crave

Daylight, don't leave me hanging
I'm innocent, why don't you kill me now?

Sunrise, don't leave me yearning
I'm innocent, why don't you kill me now?

Fight back, no, don't you lose your game
Stand up now, it's time you feel again
You're on your knees, begging me to stop the pain
Fighting with your brain, trying to recall
What you hate

Daylight, don't leave me hanging
I'm innocent, why don't you kill me now?

Sunrise, don't leave me yearning
I'm innocent, why don't you kill me now?

Daylight, don't leave me hanging
I'm innocent, why don't you kill me now?

Why don't you kill me now?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Minuit Machine's song Comedown describe a person who is struggling with their own mind and trying to forget something they crave or recall something they hate. The first verse is a plea to the listener to not close their eyes and instead think about their current situation. The singer is described as being at the feet of the listener, begging for comfort and reassurance while the listener struggles with their own thoughts. The second verse seems to be the singer talking to themselves, urging them to fight back and feel again. The listener is now on their knees, seemingly begging the singer to stop the pain they are feeling. The chorus repeats twice, with the singer pleading for someone or something to kill them now.

The themes of the lyrics are ones of desperation and suffering, with the singer begging for relief from their own thoughts and pain. The repetition of the chorus further emphasizes this sense of desperation, as if the singer is willing to do anything for an end to their suffering. The choice of words like "innocent" and "kill me now" adds to this sense of hopelessness and despair.
