Don't Look Down
Spektrem Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm a lot like you Pictures in my room People I once knew And hearts I can't untangle from my own.
I go in my head Hanging by a thread Drifting through her hair Oh one day you will find.
That it's time to get your hopes up.
They try to kick me but I won't budge.
Whoa oh oh.
But there's nowhere left to hide long.

A masquerade with the lights on .
Oh oh oh.




It's a feeling that I can't explain Don't look down Everything'll be fine for you now x4 I'm a lot like you Things I wish to do Plannin out my move Alone but in the company of friends And I had a dream That wasn't just a dream Whoa oh oh It's a feeling I just can't contain Don't look down Everything'll be fine for you now x4
