Sugar We're Goin Down
Over Arm Throw Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I′ve been dying to tell you anything you want to hear
Cause that's just who I am this week
Lie in the grass, next to the mausoleum
I′m just a notch in your bedpost
But you're just a line in a song
(A notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song)
We′re always sleeping in, and sleeping for the wrong team
We′re going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I′ll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it
We're going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we′re going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it
Is this more than you bargained for yet
Oh don′t mind me I'm watching you two from the closet
Wishing to be the friction in your jeans
Isn't it messed up how I′m just dying to be him
I′m just a notch in your bedpost
But you're just a line in a song
(Notch in your bedpost, but you′re just a line in a song)
Drop a heart, break a name
We're always sleeping in, and sleeping for the wrong team
We′re going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I′ll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it
Down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it
We′re going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we′re going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it
We′re going down, down (down, down)
Down, down (down, down)
We're going down, down (down, down)
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it
We′re going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I′ll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it
The lyrics of "Sugar We're Goin Down" by Fall Out Boy touch on themes of unrequited love, jealousy, and a feeling of insignificance. The song is narrated from the perspective of someone who is in love with another person, but that person is interested in someone else. The singer acknowledges that they are just a notch in the person's bedpost, while the other person is just a line in a song. This suggests that the love interest is someone who is not memorable and that they are not important enough for the singer to create a whole song about.
The chorus repeats the line, "We're going down, down in an earlier round," which can be interpreted as a reference to the couple's relationship that is not going well and is possibly coming to an end. The singer also declares that they will be the love interest's "number one with a bullet," which means they will do anything to win their attention, even if it involves extreme measures.
In the bridge, the singer reveals that they are watching the love interest and their current partner from a closet, wishing to be the source of friction in their jeans. This line is risqué and suggests that the singer wants to have sexual relations with the love interest. The song finishes with a repetition of the chorus, signifying that the relationship is coming to an end and the singer is still in love.
Line by Line Meaning
Am I more than you bargained for yet
Have I exceeded your initial expectations yet?
I've been dying to tell you anything you want to hear
I am eager to tell you what you want to hear, regardless of its truthfulness
Cause that's just who I am this week
I change my personality often to fit the current situation
Lie in the grass, next to the mausoleum
We are laying in the grass by a tomb of the dead
I'm just a notch in your bedpost
I am just another conquest for you
But you're just a line in a song
But to me, you are nothing more than inspiration for a song
Drop a heart, break a name
Love someone intensely one moment, then drag their name through the dirt the next
We're always sleeping in, and sleeping for the wrong team
We are constantly making bad decisions and being in the wrong place at the wrong time
We're going down, down in an earlier round
Our efforts are failing sooner than we anticipated
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
But we refuse to give up and will continue to fight until the end
I'll be your number one with a bullet
I will be your favorite and most significant person in your life
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it
I am overly self-confident and possess a dangerous unpredictability
Oh don't mind me I'm watching you two from the closet
I am secretly observing the two of you from a hiding place
Wishing to be the friction in your jeans
Desiring to be in a physical, intimate relationship with you
Isn't it messed up how I'm just dying to be him
Isn't it strange how I am so envious of his position in your life
Down, down in an earlier round
Our downfall is occurring sooner than we expected
We're going down, down (down, down)
We are descending into failure
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it
I possess an excessive sense of superiority and am ready to unleash it
