Love Come Down
Shea Shea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I mix with wine
I keep drinking from your cup
Thinking I'll feel fine
I don't know if I'll run out of words
For you, anytime soon
I don't know if I want to
Yours is a battered coat
Still I button up
Despite what I've been told
I don't know if I'll last 'till June
I don't know if I want to
Don't keep me warm
Don't keep me sober
Don't let me in
It will be over
Yours is a papier-mache mask
I use to cover up my eyes
It was never made to last
But still it keeps me blind
So all I see through working eyes
Is black and blue
And I don't know
If I want to
Don't keep me warm
Don't keep me sober
Don't let me in
It will be over
Yours is a night filled with stars
I never could count
And while I was looking up
I got knocked to the ground
I don't know if I'll climb back up soon
I don't know if I want to
I don't know if I'll run out of words
For you, anytime soon
I don't know if I want to
In Shea Shea's song "Love Come Down," the lyrics depict a complex and tumultuous relationship. The opening line, "Yours is a watered down love I mix with wine," suggests that the love being received from the subject of the song is diluted and lacking depth. The singer continues to consume this love, hoping it will provide some sort of satisfaction, but remains uncertain if their feelings for the other person will dissipate any time soon.
The second verse uses metaphors to further illustrate the strained nature of the relationship. The mention of a "battered coat" that fails to protect from the cold represents the singer's vulnerability and the disregard of warnings from others. Despite the questionable future of the relationship, they still choose to hold on, unsure if they will endure until June, indicating a sense of uncertainty and internal conflict.
The chorus emphasizes the negative effects of staying in this love, as the singer pleads not to be kept warm or sober, and not to be let in, implying that being involved in this relationship will ultimately lead to its end.
The third verse introduces the idea of a "papier-mache mask" that the singer uses to cover up their eyes. This suggests that the singer is intentionally blinding themselves to the true state of the relationship, choosing ignorance over facing the painful reality. The lyrics convey a sense of resignation, acknowledging that this temporary façade keeps them unaware of the truth, but also questioning whether they truly want to continue living in this state of blindness.
The final verse compares the situation to a night filled with stars. The inability to count the stars symbolizes the overwhelming nature of the relationship, and while the singer was looking up at the stars, they were unexpectedly knocked down. They express uncertainty about whether they will be able to rise again, unsure if they even want to.
Overall, "Love Come Down" portrays a complex relationship characterized by doubts, vulnerability, and a struggle to maintain emotional clarity.

Yours is a papier-mache mask
Your love is like a fragile facade
I use to cover up my eyes

It was never made to last
It was never meant to endure or provide genuine happiness
But still it keeps me blind
Yet, it continues to deceive and prevent me from seeing reality
So all I see through working eyes
The only things I perceive with clarity
Is black and blue
Are bruises and pain
And I don't know
I'm uncertain
If I want to
If I truly desire to continue in this situation
Yours is a night filled with stars
Your love is full of dazzling and captivating moments
I never could count
That I could never fully comprehend or appreciate
And while I was looking up
While I was mesmerized and preoccupied with these moments
I got knocked to the ground
I was unexpectedly brought back to reality and hurt
I don't know if I'll climb back up soon
I'm unsure if I'll be able to regain my emotional strength and optimism
I don't know if I want to
I don't know if I have the desire to do so
I don't know if I'll run out of words
I don't know if I'll reach a point where I can no longer express my feelings for you
For you, anytime soon
In the foreseeable future
I don't know if I want to
I'm uncertain about my desire to continue this relationship
