Eyesdown Featuring Andreya Triana
bonobo - Lyrics

In this song, Bonobo gives voice to the feeling of vulnerability and emotional intensity that can overcome a person when they are experiencing deep emotional pain. The song is called "Eyesdown," and the lyrics describe the act of lowering one's gaze and looking inward, as tears fall slowly down. The repetition of the phrase "hands up," suggests a gesture of surrender or submission to the overwhelming emotions being felt. The repeated phrase "so slow down" also seems to refer to the slow and steady descent of the tears down the face.

The words emphasize the physicality of grief and sadness, particularly through the use of the second person pronoun, "I'll show you where my tears come down." The imagery of tears falling down the face is also repeated throughout the song, as the singer struggles to keep their head up and confront the world. The song conveys a sense of personal struggle and the feeling of being overwhelmed by emotion, while maintaining a strong sense of internal focus and introspection.
