Let Down
Paris Jackson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Head hanging down
Shredded evening gown
Eyes painted black
A tragic paperback

You were my all
And now, I fall to the ground
You hit the wall
And now, I crawl underground

Let me down again
Break me, flush me down the drain
Let me down again

You were all I had
We fell fast and hard
How did it get this bad?
Ins and outs so scarred

You were my all
And now, I fall to the ground
You hit the wall
And now, I crawl underground

Let me down again
Break me, flush me down the drain
Let me down again
Break me, flush me down the drain

Let me down again
Break me, flush me down the drain
Let me down again




Ooh
Ooh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Let Down" by Paris Jackson describe a brokenhearted lover who has been betrayed and let down by the person they trusted the most. The imagery painted in the lyrics of this song is vivid; the head hanging down, the shredded evening gown, and the painted black eyes are symbols of pain, sorrow, and grief. The singer of the song speaks of how they fell fast and hard for someone who was their everything, but now, they have hit a wall and have been left crawling underground.


The repeated line, "Let me down again," illustrates the cycle of emotional abuse that the singer is experiencing, and they appear to have become numb to the pain. They long to be broken, to be flushed down the drain, as though they no longer deserve to be loved or treated with kindness. The song's haunting melody and Paris Jackson's emotive vocals add to the melancholic atmosphere and emphasize the raw, heartfelt emotion behind the lyrics.

LET ME DOWN AGAIN...
Lyrics...
Head hanging down
Shredded evening gown
Eyes painted black
A tragic paperback

You were my all
and now
I fall to the ground
You hit the wall
and now
I crawl underground

Let me down again
Break me...
Flush me down the drain

Let me down again

You were all I had
We fell fast and hard

How did it get this bad
Ins and Outs so scarred

You were my all
and now
I fall to the ground
You hit the wall
and now
I crawl underground

Let me down again
Break me...
Flush me down the drain

Let me down again
Break me...
Flush me down the drain

Let me down again
Break me...
Flush me down the drain
Let me down again
