Come Down
Slovo feat. Kirsty Hawkshaw Lyrics

Come Down
This is the title of the song.

It's raining and it's morning
The singer is describing the weather outside.

My tinnitus is singing
The singer has tinnitus, which is causing ringing in their ears.

And my beat body's yawning
The singer is tired and feeling run down.

Night Bus
This is the start of a new verse.

Is nowhere to be seen
The night bus has not arrived yet.

And a grinning man strolls up wearing his street cleaning green
A man in a street cleaning uniform walks by with a smile on his face.

Sister
The man addresses the singer as 'sister'.

My name is Malcolm
The man introduces himself as 'Malcolm'.

I came from a place near Inverness to seek my fortune and some wisdom
Malcolm has traveled to seek his fortune and gain knowledge.

I found them once over a moonlit sea
Malcolm found fortune and wisdom in the past, perhaps through travel.

And I found them again in the eyes of people like me
Malcolm has also found wisdom in the connections he's made with others.

I believe in me
This line is repeated throughout the song, meaning the singer has faith in themselves.

I believe in you
The singer is expressing faith in their listener and in people in general.

Look at all of us
The singer is urging everyone to pay attention to the potential collective power of humanity.

Think of all that we could do
The singer is encouraging listeners to consider the positive changes they could make together.

Fares Please
This is another verse.

Steamed up windows on the bus
The singer is describing the environment on the bus as foggy or rainy.

A man with a can takes years of anger out on all of us
Someone on the bus is lashing out, possibly due to long-brewing stress or frustration.

See Him
This is another verse, possibly spoken by someone else on the bus.

Says a woman next to me
The artist is recounting the words of another passenger.

He's hurting in his heart so much he's blind to all that I can see
The woman thinks that the angry man is not able to see the world in a positive light due to emotional pain.

Front door, now the self-righteous birds decide to sing
The singer is describing the world outside their house as the morning starts.

Hazy head thumping neighbours bumping morning traffic din
The singer is describing the noises of traffic and neighbors causing a headache or distress.

Claim me, you who know me best
The singer is inviting someone else to claim them or understand them deeply.

Save me from the same tomorrow
The singer is pleading to be saved from a predictable or negative future.

Put the brakes on this room
The singer is asking to slow down the world around them.

Make the birds sing in tune
The singer is asking for the world to become more harmonious and peaceful.

With my dreams that I am truly blessed…
The singer feels lucky to have optimistic dreams about the future.

I am truly blessed.
The song ends on this note, possibly indicating gratitude or hopefulness.
