Follow You Down
The Twilight Singers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Follow you down
Get the wheel, let's go for a ride
If you're trouble then I'll follow
You down
Last night, I saw the strangest light
I want to see it again

I'm wide awake
Somebody put a gun in my face
Go ahead I said- erase.

Get the wheel, let's go for a ride
If you're trouble, then I'll follow you
Down




Last night, last night was alright
I want to see you again.

Overall Meaning

In the Twilight Singers' song "Follow You Down," the singer sings to an unknown person that they will relentlessly follow them even if they're trouble. The lyrics suggest that the singer is deeply enamored with this person, so much so that they don't care if it causes them harm, as long as they get to be with them. The song's opening lines, "get the wheel, let's go for a ride" and "if you're trouble then I'll follow you down" illustrate this well. The singer is in the passenger seat, putting their trust in this person to steer them in the right direction, even if it's the wrong one.


The second verse of the song suggests that the singer has seen or experienced something bizarre and wants to repeat the experience. They sing, "last night, I saw the strangest light, I want to see it again." This line's meaning is ambiguous, but it's possible that the experience was so recklessly exhilarating that the singer is willing to risk anything to repeat it with the person they're singing to.


The pre-chorus sounds like a statement of defiance, with the singer claiming that they're "wide awake" and ready to face whatever comes their way. They sing, "somebody put a gun in my face, go ahead, I said- erase," indicating that they are unfazed and willing to take whatever comes their way.


Overall, the lyrics express a thrilling but dangerous relationship, one in which the singer is willing to risk everything to be with the object of their affection.
