The Avener Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
well show yourself won’t you come out I’m here to play another round
I see you stand in the shadow
you call yourself a better man
well show yourself won’t you come out I’m here to play another round
I see you stand in the shadow
fear
you holding me down I’m falling apart
you’re keeping me under It’s coming ahead
it’s something you said I’m in a lonely feeling
you walk the steps now through the years well take a chance on the inside
don’t be afraid you won’t regret
allow the truth let it come out
you call yourself a better man
well show yourself won’t you come out I’m here to play another round
I see you stand in the shadow
fear
you holding me down I’m falling apart
you’re keeping me under It’s coming ahead
it’s something you said I’m in a lonely feeling
The Avener's song, "The Avener," seems to be exploring the theme of fear and a sense of loneliness associated with it. The lyrics suggest that there is someone who calls themselves "a better man," but they are hiding in the shadows instead of coming forward. The singer is inviting this person to "come out" and face them in a "round." There is a sense that this is a challenge or a confrontation of some sort, but the language is also playful and perhaps even flirtatious.
As the song continues, the theme of fear becomes more central. The singer suggests that they are "falling apart" and being "kept under" by someone or something. This could be interpreted in a few different ways - the person in the shadows could be the one doing this to the singer, or it could be that the singer is speaking to their own fears and anxieties. The line "it's something you said" adds to the ambiguity here - is this a specific thing that the other person said, or is it more general?
The second verse shifts slightly, suggesting that the person in the shadows is now walking "the steps now through the years," perhaps suggesting that they are older or more experienced than the singer. The language here is also more encouraging - "take a chance on the inside" and "allow the truth let it come out" both suggest that there is a need to be vulnerable in order to overcome fear. The final repetition of the chorus, with its haunting melody and sparse instrumentation, underscores the sense of loneliness and isolation that can come with fear.

Lyrics
(Deeper down)
It's every where I look
From Las Vegas to right here
Under your dresser
Right by you ear
It's creeping in sweetly
It's definitely here
There's nothing more deadly
Than slow growing fear
Life was full and fruitful
And you could a take a real bite
The juice pouring well over
You skins delight
But the shadow it grows
And takes the depth away
Leaving broken down pieces
To this priceless ballet
The shallower it grows
The shallower it grows
The fainter we go
Until the fade out line
The shallower it grows
The shallower it grows
The fainter we go
Until the deeper down
Did we build all those bridges
To watch them thin down to dust
Or blow them voluntarily
Out of constant trust
The clock is ticking, it's last couple of tocks
And there won't be a party with weathering frocks
The shallower it grows
The shallower it grows
The fainter we go
Until the fade out line
The shallower it grows
The shallower it grows
The fainter we go
Until the fade out line
Heading deep down
We're sliding without noticing
Our own decline
Heading deep down
We're hanging onto
Sweet nothings left behind
Deeper down
Deeper down
Deeper down
Deeper down
Down, deeper down, yeah
Did we build all those bridges
To watch them thin down to dust
Or blow them voluntarily
Out of constant trust
The clock is ticking, it's last couple of tocks
And there won't be a party with weathering frocks
Did we build all those bridges
To watch them thin down to dust
Or blow them voluntarily
Out of constant trust
The clock is ticking, it's last couple of tocks
And there won't be a party with weathering frocks
The shallower it grows
The shallower it grows
The fainter we go
Until the fade out line
The shallower it grows
The shallower it grows
The fainter we go
Until the fade out line
We are all plunging straight towards our own decline
Without noticing we slide down
Deeper down
The shadow grows without ever slowing down
We are heading straight
Into the fade out line
(Deeper down)

Everything exists with its opposite, we must remember death so that we can understand the value of life, seek to live life correctly and beautifully and prepare for death in the best way. Sometimes we must remember.
Transitory life..
