Sir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah
When the sun comes up
That's when the light comes out
When the light comes out
Out
Out
Yeah yeah
When the light comes out
That's when my guard goes up
My world is crashing down
So can you pick me up
Can you lift me up
Cuz when I hit the ground
My world is crashing down
I let it all fall apart
I thought I'd never feel the same
I knew it all would play a part
I fell in love with all the pain
I stay vacant in the dark
I stay patient through the night
I stay focused on what's wrong
I can never see what's right
When it hit the crash of dawn
I get a taste of better life
No more fog, no more fog
Got some clarity in life
(uh ohhhhh)
It's like a roller coaster ride
Through ups and downs
What's it like to live a steady lie
Do you see just what I'm seeing
Do you breathe the air I'm breathing
Put your hands up on my chest
Just to see my heart is beating
(just to see my heart is beating)
Just to see my heart is beating
You'll think I'll fall, think I'll fall
But it's just a change of season
(just to see my heart is beating)
(just to see my heart is beating)
When the sun come up
When the light comes out
That's when my guard goes up
My world is crashing down
So can you pick me up
Can you lift me up
Cuz when I hit the ground
My world is crashing down
In Sir's song "Crashing Down," it seems like he is reflecting on a time when he felt everything in his world was falling apart. He repeats the phrase "When the sun comes up, that's when the light comes out" suggesting that he is trying to find the light in the darkness. However, as soon as the light comes out, he puts his guard up because he knows what is coming-- his world crashing down.
He then asks for someone to pick him up and lift him up when he hits the ground, implying that he can't do it alone. He also talks about falling in love with the pain, indicating that he may have a pattern of self-sabotage. However, he also recognizes that he needs to focus on what's wrong in order to make things better. The chorus repeats again, expressing the same sentiment of feeling like his world is crashing down and needing someone to help him back up.
Overall, the song seems to be about the struggle of maintaining hope when everything seems to be going wrong. Sir recognizes that he needs help from others in order to pick himself back up and find the light in the darkness.
