Downhill
lund Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Are we near the end, love?
Was this just pretend love?
I guess it's all downhill from here
'Cause every word I speak, girl, you don't hear
Truth between the lies, gotta face our fears
Kerosene love 'til our souls burn clear, yeah
I guess it's all downhill from here
And it's all from your words
On my lips, feel it burn
Just another lesson learned
Time will heal what I heard

Concrete love, how you weigh me down
With your two-tone words, fuck this two-face down
Throw my links, make a move, feel I'm stuck in place
Trip and fall for you down this round staircase
When my veins don't bleed and my tears run dry
Would you fight for me or just let me die?
Can you hold me close, let our worlds collide?
Push your body on me and I'll be alright

Are we near the end, love?
Was this just pretend love?
I guess it's all downhill from here
'Cause every word I speak, girl, you don't hear
Truth between the lies, gotta face our fears
Kerosene love 'til our souls burn clear, yeah
I guess it's all downhill from here

I feel used, I feel weak, love is cheap, what a lie
Broken heart, wasted time, scars are thick, still I try
All this hate that you breed, all alone I feed
I can feel your disease in my lungs when I breathe

Are we near the end, love?
Was this just pretend love?
I guess it's all downhill from here
'Cause every word I speak, girl, you don't hear
Truth between the lies, gotta face our fears
Kerosene love 'til our souls burn clear, yeah
I guess it's all downhill from here

And it's all from your words
On my lips, feel it burn




Just another lesson learned
Time will heal what I heard

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lund's song Downhill revolve around a complicated relationship that is on the verge of ending. The song talks about the uphill battles in the relationship, the lies and deceit, and the feeling of being used and taken advantage of. The first stanza of the song asks the question, "Are we near the end, love? Was this just pretend love?" suggesting that the relationship was not real, and it was just a sham.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "I guess it's all downhill from here," which can be interpreted as the relationship taking a turn for the worst. The lines "Every word I speak, girl, you don't hear" and "Truth between the lies, got to face our fears" indicate that there is a lack of communication in the relationship, and both partners are not being truthful. The metaphor "Kerosene love 'til our souls burn clear" implies that the relationship is volatile and it will eventually end in flames.


The second stanza of the song talks about how the relationship is constricting and how the singer feels trapped. The lines "Concrete love, how you weigh me down" and "Throw my links, make a move, feel I'm stuck in place" are examples of this. The use of the metaphor "Trip and fall for you down this round staircase" can be interpreted as how the singer is falling deeper and deeper in love, but it is ultimately leading to a downfall.


Overall, Lund's song Downhill is a powerful ballad that talks about the ups and downs of a relationship ending in a downhill spiral.

Estamos perto do fim, amor?
Isso foi apenas fingir amor?
Eu acho que é tudo em declive a partir daqui
Porque cada palavra que eu falo, garota, você não ouve
A verdade entre as mentiras, temos que enfrentar nossos medos
Amor de querosene até nossas almas queimarem, sim
Eu acho que tudo é ladeira a baixo daqui
E é tudo a partir de suas palavras
Em meus lábios, sinta queimar
Apenas mais uma lição aprendida
O tempo vai curar o que ouvi
Amor concreto, como você me pesa
Com suas palavras de dois tons, foda-se essa dupla face para baixo
Jogue meus links, faça um movimento, sinta que estou preso no lugar
Tropeçar e cair por você nesta escada redonda
Quando minhas veias não sangram e minhas lágrimas secam
Você lutaria por mim ou apenas me deixaria morrer?
Você pode me segurar perto, deixar nossos mundos colidirem?
Empurre seu corpo em mim e eu ficarei bem
Estamos perto do fim, amor?
Isso era apenas fingir amor?
Eu acho que é tudo em declive a partir daqui
Porque cada palavra que eu falo, garota, você não ouve
A verdade entre as mentiras, temos que enfrentar nossos medos
Amor de querosene até nossas almas queimarem, sim
Eu acho que é tudo em declive a partir daqui
Me sinto usado, me sinto fraco, o amor é barato, que mentira
Coração partido, tempo perdido, cicatrizes são grossas, ainda tento
Todo esse ódio que você cria, sozinho eu alimento
Eu posso sentir sua doença em meus pulmões quando eu respiro
Estamos perto do fim, amor?
Isso era apenas fingir amor?
Eu acho que é tudo em declive a partir daqui
Porque cada palavra que eu falo, garota, você não ouve
Verdade entre as mentiras, temos que enfrentar nossos medos
Amor de querosene até nossas almas queimarem, sim
Eu acho que é tudo em declive a partir daqui
E é tudo a partir de suas palavras
Em meus lábios, sinta queimar
Apenas mais uma lição aprendida
O tempo vai curar o que ouvi

I want to die but it would make me entire life worth living if I got to sit in the room while he made a song.

Every track is pure perfection and I don't think things are perfect.

The lyrical talent. The darkness but calmness of his phenomenal voice and way with words. The flow. The production. The quality of these tracks. Every little piece of the song blends together and fills my brain with more dopamine than heroin does.

Every time I hear a song I mini scream with my jaw dropped the entire time for the first 5 listen because they are so impressive to me.

The songs about suicide make me somehow feel better. I feel not alone.

I know I don't know you but I feel like i'm supposed to know you.

Just keep up the incredible work. You are helping people and changing things and getting us through the darkest shit in life. Making so many people feel valid and not alone. Anyone who has the talent to do what you do should be cherished and I hope you find happiness.

Thank you so much lund.
