Low
The Boxer Rebellion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your voice is weary
So disconnected
With nothing more to give
Than all you’ve got

You’ve every reason
But no reasoning
To feel so far behind
At a loss

So don’t be loved
Don’t be loved

When we’re moving
The same direction
You take the longer way
To find the end

I’d love to lift you
Out of your sorrow




Help you leave behind
Your heartache

Overall Meaning

The Boxer Rebellion's song 'Low' is about feeling isolated, disconnected, and without any reasoning or direction. The lyrics convey a sense of weariness and lost hope, as though the singer is alone in their struggles, and everything seems pointless. The opening lines make it clear that the singer's voice is weary and disconnected, and they have nothing more to give. Despite their every reason, they're unable to find reasoning for their melancholia, feeling like they're lagging behind and are stuck in a rut.


The lyrics' chorus, "So, don't be loved," is a plea to the singer to give up on love and not accept it. The repetition creates an emphasis on the singer's message that love is not the solution. The following verse mentions that despite moving in the same direction, the singer takes the longer way to reach the end. They're lost, and they need someone to lift them out of their sorrow and help them leave behind their heartache.


Overall, 'Low' is a poignant portrayal of the feeling of being trapped and hopeless, providing a window into the mind of someone struggling with depression and isolation.
