Comin' Down
The View Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm comin' down, comin' down,
It took so long for me to come around,
They tell you, it smashes brain,
Drain you of all the blood you've left in your veins.

If you spare me a brew and a double bed,
You might give me the time to clear my head tonight,
With these stones you cast so fast,
Makes me think that we will never last.

I hear it, do you hear that sound,
Hear that now aloud, it's comin' down.
I'm not eager to be mean, I'm eager to be anyone I want to be.

If you spare me a brew and a double bed,
You might give me time to clear my head tonight,




With these stones you cast so fast,
It makes me think that we never last.

Overall Meaning

The View's song "Comin' Down" is a reflective tune about the aftermath of drug use and partying. The lyrics speak of a person who has finally come down from their high and realized the negative impact it has had on their life. The repetition of the phrase "comin' down" in the chorus drives home the idea that the high is over and it's time to face the consequences.


The first verse speaks of the warnings given by others about the dangers of drug use, but the singer is too caught up in the lifestyle to heed them. This is evidenced by the line "it took so long for me to come around." The second verse speaks of the desire to clear their head and figure things out, but the constant barrage of criticism from others makes it difficult.


The bridge of the song comes across as a plea for understanding. The singer is not trying to be mean, but rather trying to figure out who they really are. The repetition of the phrase "anyone I want to be" suggests that the person is struggling to find their true identity.


Overall, "Comin' Down" is a powerful song about the consequences of drug use and the desire for redemption.

I like it and I like the View but I still have the feeling that this is kind of a generic punk/rock song.
