across the sky
Rag N Bone Man Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What's in this weed I'm so high
Write my name across the sky
I can't see your face at all
Smoke looks like a waterfall,
Spirit brings me songs of love
Makes my heart heavy so
And I can't feel my face at all
Better hold me otherwise I fall
Better hold me brother

Struggle just to hold it down
Codeine got me waking out
I can't feel you touch my skin
Cold sweat just wet the clothes I'm in
3oml just numbed my pain
Makes my palms sweaty so
And cant feel my teeth at all
Mouth looks like a waterfall

Hands are shaking double time
White lines got me bugging out
Freakin' just to leave my home
My heart beating like a metronome
Should've bagged the ...
The calm before the powder storm




And I can't fell my face at all
Better hold me otherwise I fall

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Rag N Bone Man's song Across the Sky talks about the effects of drugs to a person's physical and emotional condition. The first verse describes the singer's high state after smoking weed, feeling his heart heavy, and the smoke resembling a waterfall. The second verse talks about the struggle of the singer in holding it down after taking codeine, making him numb and sweaty, and his mouth looks like a waterfall. The chorus suggests the singer needs someone to hold him in fear of falling, and his hands are shaking double time. The last verse refers to the calm before the storm, where the singer could not feel his face anymore, and he needs someone to hold him; otherwise, he would fall.


The song portrays the struggles of drug addiction, making it hard for the singer to cope with his situation. The waterfall used in the lyrics represents the loss of control, moving and flowing continuously towards its destination. It depicts that once an individual starts using drugs, the addiction takes control and leads the person to the inevitable course of destruction.

Struggle just to hold it down
Codeine got me waking out
