Don't Look Down
Virgil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't lick this strange disease
I happened on this circumstance
Would it be rude if I asked you to dance?
Maybe we were younger then
So pay me with a compliment
But don't expect a thing
Don't look down
I'm part of you now
Don't give up or make a sound
Maybe we were younger then
So pay me with a compliment
And if you don't look down
You won't feel a thing
It's father's time on the grandfather clock
And grandmother is ripping his face off
And mama's got a cold again
She started smoking cigarettes
Maybe we were younger then
We hated men, but loved the things that made us precious
Repeat Chorus
Crawling on my hands and knees
Can't lick this strange disease
I happened on this circumstance
Would it be rude if I asked you to dance?
Maybe we were younger then
So pay me with a compliment
And do it over, over, over, over, over and over again
Repeat Chorus
Don't look down
I'm part of you now
Don't give up or make a sound
Maybe we were younger then
So pay me with a compliment
Yeah, oh...
The lyrics of Virgil's song "Don't Look Down" convey a sense of vulnerability and helplessness. The opening lines, "Crawling on my hands and knees, can't lick this strange disease," suggest that the singer is in a state of physical or emotional distress. The following line, "I happened on this circumstance, would it be rude if I asked you to dance?" implies a desire for connection or intimacy, perhaps as a means of escape from their current situation.
The chorus, "Don't look down, I'm part of you now, don't give up or make a sound," emphasizes the theme of seeking comfort and support from another person. The repetition of "maybe we were younger then, so pay me with a compliment" further underscores the yearning for validation and approval.
The second verse introduces additional characters - the singer's grandmother and mother - who also seem to be struggling in some way. The line "We hated men, but loved the things that made us precious" hints at a past of abuse or trauma that has affected the women in the singer's life.
Overall, the song conveys a sense of emotional turmoil and a desperate search for connection and validation in the face of difficult circumstances.
