Let Me Down
S Jay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lord, I try to face up
Try to make some sense out of misery
I just keep rollin'
Gotta keep rollin'
Somewhere out there, there's a life for me
Cause, love keeps dragging me down
Love keeps dragging me down
Twisting my head, pushing me round
Alone I can't face it
Lord, I try to fake it
Gotta get my ass back in gear
I just keep rollin'
Gotta keep rollin'
Rollin' my way outta here
Cause, love keeps dragging me down
Twisting my head, pushing me round
Love keeps dragging me down
Twisting my head, pushing me round
I swear
I hold my head up
I hold my head up
I was happy, with my head in the clouds
I felt so strong and I felt so proud
Cause I believed in everlasting love
The love of God and the Heavens above
Cause, I just keep rollin'
Gotta keep rollin'
I just keep rollin'
Cause, love keeps dragging me down
Twisting my head, pushing me round
Love keeps dragging me down
Twisting my head, pushing me round
Everyday I wake up
Lord, I try to face up
Try to make some sense out of misery
I'll just keep rollin'
Gotta keep rollin'
Rollin' to the praise of the Lord
I swear, love keeps dragging me down
Twisting my head, pushing me round
Cause love keeps dragging me down
Twisting my head, pushing me round
The lyrics to S Jay’s song “Let Me Down” illustrate the pain and despair one can feel when love continually brings them down. The singer wakes up each day to face the challenge of making sense out of their misery, as they feel trapped and pushed around by love. They acknowledge that they cannot face the pain alone and need to get their life back on track. The repeated phrase “gotta keep rollin’” is a mantra that the singer uses to move forward and find a life that brings them happiness.
The singer admits that they were once happy with their head in the clouds, feeling strong and proud because they believed in everlasting love. However, that belief has been shattered, and they are left feeling lost and alone. They hold their head up, trying to stay positive and find the strength to keep going. The final line “rollin’ to the praise of the Lord” suggests that the singer finds comfort in their faith and turns to it to guide them through their struggles.
