Gravity
Suburban Tribe Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bind me but you can't hold me down
Bind me my face to the ground
Bind me but you can't hold me down
I won't make a sound

Your best is never enough for me
Your best is never enough for me
Your best is never enough for me

Don't have what i need

To me you're nothing but
Dead weight

Gravity
Pull yourself away from me
Pull yourself away
Gravity
Pull yourself away from me
Pull yourself away

Bind me but you can't make me come
Rape me but still i feel numb
Bind me but you can't make me come
Can't make me succumb

With you I'm always so alone
With you I'm always so alone

With you I'm always so alone
Never let you close

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Suburban Tribe's song "Gravity" are about resisting and rebelling against someone or something that seems to hold power over the singer. The repeated line "Bind me but you can't hold me down" signifies the singer's refusal to be physically or emotionally restrained. The following line "I won't make a sound" suggests that the singer is conscious of not giving in to the captor's efforts to overpower them. The second verse highlights the singer's feelings of detachment and dissatisfaction with the captor, "Your best is never enough for me, Don't have what I need". These lyrics could either reference a toxic romantic relationship or a general feeling of dissatisfaction with societal structures.

The chorus of the song, "Gravity, Pull yourself away from me, Pull yourself away", reinforces the theme of the singer's resistance against the captor. Gravity is used as a metaphor for the stronghold that the captor has over them, causing them to feel trapped and suffocated. The line "With you I'm always so alone, Never let you close" reveals that despite the captor constantly trying to control the singer, they feel isolated and unsupported, further emphasizing the singer's desire to break free.
