Down In Black
Mustasch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel afraid of life
You won't be needing me
Cause I'm so sick and tired
I just wanna die
I don't think that I'm alive
When you're down
It's a long way back
When you're down in black
Get down, take cover now
I'm gonna bring myself to live
I'll run, to get it on
Into a place I've never been
Blue sky and city lights
Yeah I'm coming in
Used to be so slow
I didn't know where I should go
It's a long way back
When you're down
It's a long way back
When you're down in black
The lyrics to Mustasch's song Down In Black speak to the feeling of being lost and alone. The opening lines, "Don't take me out tonight, I feel afraid of life," set the tone for the rest of the song. The singer feels overwhelmed and scared by the world around them, and they don't feel like they have a place in it.
The chorus further emphasizes this feeling of hopelessness, with the repeated refrain of "It's a long way back when you're down in black." The singer feels like they've hit rock bottom, and they don't know how to climb their way out of it.
However, the song ends on a note of hope. The final verses suggest that the singer is starting to see a way forward, as they declare "I'm gonna bring myself to live." They're determined to push through the darkness and find a way to thrive.
Line by Line Meaning
Don't take me out tonight
I have a fear of life and do not want to be exposed to any potential risks or threats by stepping out tonight
You won't be needing me
I feel disconnected and unimportant in your eyes, so you won't miss me even if I'm not around with you
Cause I'm so sick and tired
I'm so exhausted and fed up with life that I feel like giving up or dying at any moment
I just wanna die
I have lost my will to live and only wish for death to end my misery and suffering
I don't think that I'm alive
I feel so dead inside that I cannot tell if I'm still alive or not
It's a long way back
Recovering from my downfall is not easy and will take a lot of time, effort and patience
When you're down
Being in a depressed or defeated state is a lonely and difficult place to be in
When you're down in black
Being in a dark and negative mindset is a deeper and more challenging way of being down
Get down, take cover now
I need to lower my defenses and open up to hope and possibility without fear or resistance
I'm gonna bring myself to live
I'm committed to taking action and doing what it takes to turn my life around and thrive again
I'll run, to get it on
I'm willing to push myself out of my comfort zone and pursue new experiences and adventures
Into a place I've never been
I'm venturing into unknown and uncharted territories of my life and soul, exploring new aspects of myself
Blue sky and city lights
I'm looking for a sense of awe and wonder in the world around me, appreciating the beauty and diversity of life
Yeah I'm coming in
I'm embracing life with a renewed sense of purpose and passion, ready to live fully and unapologetically
Used to be so slow
I used to be stuck in a rut, lacking energy, motivation and drive
I didn't know where I should go
I felt lost and confused, uncertain about my true direction or purpose in life
