Low
Royal Thunder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"You oughta kiss me, tell me what you want".
(I dont know, but I wanna slip away with you.)
And that girl said to the other girl,
"I think I finally see just what you are".
(Like a venom I will poison your identity.)
I see them when your eyes are watering.
You know you got demons, baby.
We'll see them on the wayside.
I could follow you down that road,
but I would break down, loose my head, I know. (I know, I know.)
The worst part is that you are the best,
I gotta let go, got me feeling low. (Got me low, got me low.)
(Come on,) leave your life and your family,
we dont need them, come with me.
(Girl, your) head is spinning the wrong way, oh.
You gotta do this 'cause you're low.
The fires on fire, I'll fight you now.
You dont believe me? Try me out.
Girl, my head ain't spinning in that way, no.
You always do this 'cause you're low.
The end is in the air.
The part that we all fear.
It's you or me, I swear.
No, I won't meet you there.
No!
I know you got secrets, tell me.
I see them when your eyes are watering.
You know you got demons, baby.
We'll see them on the wayside.
The song "Low" by Royal Thunder seems to tell the story of two girls who are engaging in a toxic relationship. The first girl suggests they kiss and run away together, but the second girl acknowledges that the relationship is poisonous and will ultimately lead to her identity being destroyed. The first girl tries to convince the second to leave everything behind and come with her, but the second girl knows that it will only lead to her feeling even more low than she already does.
Throughout the song, there is a suggestion of hidden secrets and demons that the second girl is carrying with her. The first girl seems to be urging her to reveal these secrets and just leave everything behind, but the second girl is cautious and understands that it's not that simple. In the end, the two girls seem to be at a crossroads where they have to choose between going down a path that will ultimately lead to their destruction or breaking away from the toxic relationship altogether.
Overall, the lyrics to "Low" seem to be a powerful commentary on the dangers of toxic relationships and the importance of being true to oneself. The song encourages listeners to be cautious about who they allow into their lives and to be mindful of the toxic dynamics that can develop between people.
