Urban Sound Collective Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Crashing, hit a wall
Right now I need a miracle
Hurry up now, I need a miracle
Stranded, reaching out
I call your name but you're not around
I say your name but you're not around

I need ya, I need ya, I need you right now
Yeah, I need you right now
So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
I think I'm losing my mind now
It's in my head, darling, I hope
That you'll be here, when I need you the most
So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
D-don't let me down

Don't let me down
Don't let me down, down, down
Don't let me down, don't let me down, down, down

Running out of time
I really thought you were on my side
But now there's nobody by my side

I need ya, I need ya, I need you right now
Yeah, I need you right now
So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
I think I'm losing my mind now
It's in my head, darling, I hope
That you'll be here, when I need you the most
So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
D-don't let me down

Don't let me down
Don't let me down, down, down
Don't let me down, down, down
Don't let me down, down, down
Don't let me down, don't let me down, down, down

Ooh, I think I'm losing my mind now, yeah
Ooh, I think I'm losing my mind now, yeah

I need ya, I need ya, I need you right now
Yeah, I need you right now
So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
I think I'm losing my mind now
It's in my head, darling, I hope
That you'll be here, when I need you the most
So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
Don't let me down

Yeah, don't let me down
Yeah, don't let me down
Don't let me down, oh, no
Said don't let me down
Don't let me down





Don't let me down
Don't let me down, down, down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Urban Sound Collective's song "Don't Let Me Down" is about the desperation that comes with feeling alone and helpless. The song describes someone who has hit a wall and needs a miracle to come through for them. The person is stranded and feels all alone, calling out a name repeatedly but getting no answer. They need this person to come through for them and not abandon them in their time of need. The chorus repeats the phrase "don't let me down" three times and emphasizes the importance of needing someone to be there for you in your darkest moments. The song is written with a sense of urgency and the repetition of the phrase "I need you right now" is a plea for help.


The song represents the fear of being alone and the vulnerability that comes with needing someone. The lyrics are open to interpretation, as they could be about a romantic relationship, a friendship, or even a family member. The desperate tone of the song highlights the importance of having people to rely on and lean on, and that sometimes, being vulnerable and asking for help is necessary.
