[Songtext zu „Down“]

[Intro]
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down

[Verse 1]
I can't remember the last time I showed compassion
I pay more attention, but it doesn’t touch me anymore
Hey melancholy, you seem different from how it was, don't you?
You wanna just show me not to get pissed off at the people 'round me?
What would you do if I stop listenin’ right now? Hey
Would you then stop envisaging only dark sides?
I don't wanna be a part of your
Theory that the world is fucked
Belief is as simple as breathin'
As long as you're moving the boundaries

[Chorus]
Hey take a seat and rest
Watch your future pass
What would you do if only your world was going down?
Would you be the last?
Hold on to the past?
What would you do to save your world from going
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Horror stories all around
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
The future's on me now
[Verse 2]
There's no relief, looked helplessness, no saving passion
Just swallow a pill and pick up the bill in our bleeding bodies
Search for the cause, finding indifference as it was, I cannot
How can I just find the truth in lies and watch people agree?
What would you do if all the trouble leaves now and then?
Would you then also spend your life attaining assets?
I don't wanna be a character
In that self-righteous game we play
>ou cheat, it's as simple as breathing
’Cause you write all the rules yourself

[Bridge]
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down

[Chorus]
Hey take a seat and rest
Watch your future pass
What would you do if only your world was going down?
Would you be the last?
Hold on to the past?
What would you do to save your world from going
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Horror stories all around
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
The future’s on me now
[Bridge]
I know we carry burdens on our shoulders
We learn to overcome the darkness as we grow
We're risin’ up for all that we know

[Chorus]
Hey take a seat and rest
Watch your future pass
What would you do if only your world was going down?
Would you try to help?
Or would you turn your back?
What would you do to save your world from going
Down, down, down, down
(I know we carry burdens on our shoulders)
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
The future's on you now
(We learn to overcome the darkness as we grow)
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Oh yeah, the world is bad but far from being fucked up now
