Tear It Down
SOiL Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Picture this
You're going down
I cannot stop the fall

Descending fast
And you hit the ground
Is this the end for us all?

No more will I feel this
It’s not impossible
Too bad to those
Who missed out on the miracle

Down, down
And we're tearing
Change the structure
We have been tearing it down
Tearing it down
Tear it down

And the fear has come
You felt for so long
You must get up
Take another hit
It only makes you strong

No more will I feel this
It’s not impossible
Too bad to those who missed
Out on the miracle

Down, down
And we're tearing
Change the structure
We have been tearing it down, down
And we're tearing
Change the structure
We have been tearing it down
Tearing it down
Tearing it down
Tearing it down
Tear it down

Now picture this
You’re going down
Is this the end for us all?
No more will I feel this
It’s not impossible

Down, down
And we're tearing
Change the structure
We have been tearing it down, down
And we're tearing
Change the structure
We have been tearing it down
We're tearing
Change the structure

We have been tearing it down
Tearing it down

Overall Meaning

In the lyrics to SOiL's song Tear It Down, the singer seems to be addressing someone who is falling, perhaps metaphorically, and cannot be helped. They state that "we" have been tearing down the structure, which could be interpreted as a reference to a societal or personal structure that is being dismantled. The line "too bad to those who missed out on the miracle" hints at a belief that what is being torn down is necessary for something better to arise.

As the song progresses, there is a suggestion that the fear and pain caused by this tearing down process is ultimately beneficial, as it makes the person stronger. The repetition of the chorus, "tearing it down" emphasizes the active dismantling of something, as well as a conviction that this is the right thing to do.

Overall, the lyrics to Tear It Down seem to express a sense of urgency and determination to upend an existing situation and make room for something new to emerge, despite the difficulty and pain that may be involved. It is a call to action, and a reminder that sometimes the only way to move forward is to tear it all down.

Line by Line Meaning

Picture this
Imagine a scenario

You're going down
You are losing control

I cannot stop the fall
I am powerless in this situation

Descending fast
Falling quickly

And you hit the ground
Reaching the end with a bump

Is this the end for us all?
Is this the end for everyone?

No more will I feel this
I'll never feel again

It's not impossible
It's not unachievable

Too bad to those
Unfortunate for those

Who missed out on the miracle
Those who failed to experience the wonders

Down, down
Descending rapidly
