Let You Down
Three Days Grace Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Trust me
There's no need to fear
Everyone's here
Waiting for you to finally be one of us

Calm down
You may be full of fear
But you'll be safe here
When you finally trust me
Finally believe in me

I will let you down
I'll let you down I'll
When you finally trust me
Finally believe in me

Trust me
I'll be there when you need me
You'll be safe here
And when you finally trust me
Finally believe in me

I will let you down
I'll let you down I'll
When you finally trust me
Finally believe in me





Never want to come down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Three Days Grace's Let You Down reflect an eerie overtone of manipulation, power struggles, and false promises. The song presents a scenario where someone is being urged to comply with another's wishes through means of a cult-like, oppressive charm. The opening lines of the song, "Trust me, There's no need to fear, Everyone's here, Waiting for you to finally be one of us," seems to suggest that the singer is being coaxed into joining some sort of group. The lyrics make it evident that the singer is hesitant as they're "full of fear" but the other person continues to reassure them that they're "safe" and should "finally trust" and "believe" them.


The hook "I will let you down" is where the song takes a dark and distorted turn. It seems as though the lyrics are an admission from the manipulator that they will ultimately fail the singer once they trust and believe them. At this point, the lyrics have an ominous feel, as the floating voice strangely becomes something to be feared instead of trusted. The line "Never want to come down" suggests that the singer is becoming entranced like the promises and performance of the manipulator, and would rather not accept the reality of being let down.
