Tear It Down
The Aston Shuffle feat. Will Heard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There are scars that I know you bare
But you hide them well
They're not always clear in the light
Oh baby, don't hide

I can feel all the fire in you
Though your eyes are cold
They still burn right through your disguise
And all of your lies, yeah

I scaled the wall
That you built inside
And now I'm gonna tear it down
Tear it down
I'm gonna tear it down tonight

I scaled the wall
That you built inside
And now I'm gonna tear it down
Tear it down
I'm gonna tear it down tonight

There are scars that I know you bare
But you hide them well
They're not always clear in the light
Oh baby, don't hide, no

I can feel all the fire in you
Though your eyes are cold
They still burn right through your disguise
And all of your lies, yeah

I scaled the wall
That you built inside
And now I'm gonna tear it down
Tear it down
I'm gonna tear it down tonight

I scaled the wall

Tear it down, tear it down
I'm gonna tear it down, tear it down
I'm gonna tear it down, tear it down
I'm gonna tear it down tonight

Tear it down, tear it down
I'm gonna tear it down, tear it down




I'm gonna tear it down, tear it down
I'm gonna tear it down tonight

Overall Meaning

The song Tear It Down by The Aston Shuffle featuring Will Heard is a powerful expression of love and support for someone who has been hurt in the past. The opening lines of the song, "There are scars that I know you bear, but you hide them well," suggest that the person the singer is addressing has been through some traumatic experiences, but is putting on a brave face for the world. However, the singer can see through this façade, and recognizes the emotion boiling beneath the surface. He urges his loved one not to hide their pain any longer, and to allow themselves to be vulnerable.


The chorus of the song takes on a more assertive tone, with the singer declaring that he has "scaled the wall that [the loved one] built inside," and is now determined to "tear it down." This metaphorical wall represents the loved one's emotional barriers and defenses, and the singer is expressing his desire to help his loved one break down these walls and move past their pain. In this way, the song is both a declaration of love and a call to action, urging the loved one to open up and allow themselves to be vulnerable with the singer.


Overall, Tear It Down is a powerful and emotionally charged song that speaks to the challenges of navigating love and pain in a world that can be cruel and unforgiving. Through its passionate lyrics and soaring melodies, the song encourages listeners to embrace their emotions and be open to the possibilities of love and connection.
