Never Let You Down
Woodkid feat. Lykke Li Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Will you come along 'cause I'm about to leave this town
In my eyes, a waterfall, all I can hear, a siren call
Could you be waiting by the shore, oh I could drown without you
Will you be holding out the line when I fall?

I'll never let you down, never let you down
Never let you down, never let you down
I'll never let you down, never let you down

Have you ever had to be the one who sail away
Have your heart torn apart, feel your love float astray
Do you remember all the sounds, when I found you by the lake
And how the water seemed to call your name

I'll never let you down, never let you down
Never let you down, never let you down
I'll never let you down, never let you down

Baby I will find you
Baby I can hear you call
Baby I can feel your heart

Baby I will find you
Just wait a little longer
Baby I can hear you call
I won't ever let you fall

I'll never let you down, never let you down
Never let you down, never let you down
I'll never let you down, never let you down




Never let you down, never let you down
I'll never let you down, never let you down

The singer asks if the other person will be waiting for them by the shore and holding out the line when they fall.


The chorus of the song, with the repeated refrain of "I'll never let you down," suggests that the singer is making a promise to the other person that they will always be there for them, no matter what. The lines "I can hear you call" and "I won't ever let you fall" reinforce this idea of the singer being a constant presence and source of support for the other person, even if they are physically apart.


Overall, the lyrics of "Never Let You Down" evoke a deeply emotional and personal experience, with poignant reflections on leaving, loss, and the enduring power of love and support.

Probably the best song out of the entire movie.. I expected better from the entire soundtrack, yet I guess not. Although, Woodkid didn't fail to impress. :P

@timothyhynes1018

It's impossible to be satisfied once you've heard Woodkid once.
please don't ever stop making music friend

@Sunny6C

Aucune déception, évidemment. La puissance de la voix de Woodkid et la douceur de celle de Lykke Li. Parfait mélange. La chanson me transporte totalement ! Chapeau les artistes.

@ApeironSound

Another great song by two amazing artists.
You never let us down!
