Don't Look Down
Side Dish Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got a million questions why
You came into my life
All I know is that you changed my heart, yeah
I saw you in my head,
Thoughts chased me every day
Now your face is etched in mind

Come with me
And then you'll see that

[chorus]
I am falling
To you reaching
For your hands to hold onto
I look down and
See you smiling
Knowing we will never hit the ground

Even after all this time
We've made it to this point
I know that the best is coming
So many reasons I fell in love with you
And I'm so proud to call you mine

Look at me
Can you see
My heart's in your hands

She said don't look down and you'll be all right
Just look around and breathe the air tonight
When you hear my call, you know you'll see it all
Take a chance on me, we'll both be free

Now we're falling
Spinning downward
Don't let go or I'll hit the ground





I know we will never hit the ground

Overall Meaning

The song "Don't Look Down" by Side Dish is an emotional ballad about falling in love and the trust it takes to let go and allow oneself to be vulnerable. The song opens with the singer expressing their curiosity about why their love interest entered their life, but ultimately acknowledges that this person has transformed their heart. The mention of this person's face being etched in the singer's mind conveys the depth of the connection they feel. The chorus is the most memorable part of the song and it tells a story of two people falling together but never hitting the ground because they trust each other enough to face the unknown together.


One of the interesting features of the song is the contrast between the initial uncertainty and doubt expressed in the opening verse and the confidence and certainty expressed in the chorus. This contrast effectively conveys the emotional transformation that the singer undergoes as their relationship with the love interest deepens.


Another interesting aspect of the song is the use of the imagery associated with falling to convey the emotion of falling in love. This imagery is used throughout the song and culminates in the final lines of the chorus where the fear of hitting the ground is replaced with the trust that they will never reach it because of their relationship.
