Let You Down
Shake Shake Go Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Passed by under the rain
I think of you
One drop lost in the boundless blue
You left like summer sun
Felt like you only just had come
I dream that you
And shine on through
Oh, you my love
And oh, you know
It's you I love
I don't wanna see you down
I don't wanna see you drown
I swore I'd always be around
And I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna let you down
Push back the shutter doors
This world is here and it can be yours
Reach out to me
I'll break the fall, just take the leap
Time's not a problem hey
Your hands will still fit mine the same way
I'm here for you
Come back, let's be the special two
Oh, you my love
And oh, you know
It's you I love
I don't wanna see you down
I don't wanna see you drown
I swore I'd always be around
And I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna let you down
And these days I think of you
One drop lost in the boundless blue
Shake Shake Go's song Let You Down is a beautiful track that talks about love, hope, and never wanting to let someone down. The first verse describes a rainy September day, which serves as a metaphor for the singer's sadness and the absence of the loved one. The singer thinks of the person he loves and likens their absence to a single drop in the vast and boundless blue sky. The second verse talks about the person leaving like summer sun, and how their departure felt like they had only just come. The singer dreams of them coming back and shining through the clouds, signifying hope and optimism.
The chorus of the song is a plea to the person not to let the singer or themselves down. The singer swore to always be around and never let the person down, and he doesn't want to see them drowning in sadness. He asks them to take a leap of faith and reach out to him, promising to be there to support and catch them. The singer reminds the person that time is not a problem, and they can always come back to the singer, and they will still fit together the same way. The song ends with the singer thinking of the person, still a single drop lost in the vastness of the blue sky.
Overall, the song is a beautiful tribute to the power of love and the importance of being there for someone when they need you. It's about holding on to hope even when things seem bleak, and not wanting to let love slip away.
