Down
T. Tommy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Have you run out of things to say
Or you can't remember
Are you sweeping the bones away
Are you hell for leather
Do you know how this story ends
Or did you just pick up that pen
And put it down again
Are you chasing the tale you tell
Do you live in a circle
Are you sitting in an empty chair
Running lines 'til you've learned 'em
Have you found your foul weather friends
Of a feather to the end
'Til you put 'em down again
And I remember when you put me down
I remember when you put me down
I remember when you put me down
When you put me down
You put it down again
Is the fox at your door tonight
Barking up the wrong bin now
Can you see by the neighbours' light
Heat up, turn the wind down
Are you strong like the trees you tend
Will you break or can you bend
You're going down
And I remember when you put me down
Yeah I remember when you put me down
I remember when you put me down
When you put me down
I remember when you put me down
I remember when you put me down
I remember when you put me down
When you put me down
I remember when you put me down
I remember when you put me down




I remember when you put me down
When you put me down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to T. Tommy's song "Down" is a contemplative piece that questions the singers' motives and actions. The song opens up with the singer asking if the singer has run out of things to say or if they can't remember. The first line sets the tone for the rest of the song, which is an introspective look at the singer's life. The second line asks if they are sweeping the bones away or if they are hell for leather, meaning are they trying to cover up their past or are they rushing through life.


The song talks about whether the singer knows how the story ends or if they are just picking up the pen without knowing what they are writing. It questions whether they are chasing the tale they tell or if they live in a cycle. The line "Do you live in a circle" has multiple meanings - it could be a reference to reincarnation or could mean that the singer is stuck in the same routine.


The chorus of the song repeats the line "And I remember when you put me down" three times before adding the line "When you put me down, you put it down again." This line suggests that the singer's actions have consequences, and they might repeat the same mistakes.


Overall, the song's theme is about self-reflection, questioning one's past, and learning from one's mistakes. The song encourages the listener to pause and reflect on their life and the choices they have made.
