Domino
Varsity Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nothing ever happens in this town
Its the same old thing when we go out
A new place to hang with the same crowd
I looked up when you came and sat down

Now im here with you,
and I'm admiring the view
I hope you never ever never ever cut me loose

And I don’t know what to do because

I’m falling into something really can’t stop me
I’m knocking over everything and you just caught me
From start to finish I promise I'm in this
just wanna let you know yo
I’m falling like a domino

Falling falling falling just like a domino
Falling falling falling just like a domino
From start to finish i promise i’ll mend this
just wanna let you know yo
I’m falling like a domino

Always said true love never happens
a little push a just caused this chain reaction.
I never thought you’d be my distraction
I admit boy you got me crashing
Now I'm here with you and I’m admiring the view
I hope you never ever never ever cut me loose
And i don’t know what to do because

I’m falling into something really can’t stop me
I’m knocking over everything and you just caught me
From start to finish I promise I'm in this
just wanna let you know yo
I’m falling like a domino

Falling falling falling just like a domino
Falling falling falling just like a domino
From start to finish i promise i’ll mend this
just wanna let you know yo
I’m falling like a domino

It all comes down you gon’ have my back
the last one falls baby we got that
you’re saying ooh ooh hot hot
Oooh oooh hot hot
Keep saying hot hot ooh ooh hot hot
When it all comes down you gon have my back
when the last one falls baby we got that
keep saying ooh ooh keep saying ooh ooh
Keeping saying ooh ooh
Falling like a domino

I’m falling into something really can’t stop me
I’m knocking over everything and you just caught me
From start to finish I promise I'm in this
Just wanna let you know yo
I’m falling like a domino

Falling falling falling just like a domino
Falling falling falling just like a domino
From start to finish i promise I'm in this

just wanna let you know yo
I’m falling like a domino

Overall Meaning

The song "Domino" by Varsity talks about how the singer's life was mundane and uneventful until they met someone that changed everything for them. The beginning of the song paints a picture of a dull town where nothing exciting happens, and the only way to make things different is to go out with the same crowd in a new place. However, this changes when the singer meets someone who captures their attention and makes them feel alive. The chorus is an admission of how deeply they have fallen for this person and how they cannot control being drawn toward them. The use of the metaphor of a domino symbolizes how the introduction of this new person has set off a chain reaction of emotions that the singer cannot stop.

The second verse of the song reveals that the singer believes in the idea of true love being a myth until they met this person. The bridge provides a sense of comfort as the singer believes that this newfound love will last because they have each other's back no matter the circumstance. The repetition of the words "ooh hot" in the bridge contributes to the playful and carefree nature of the song.
