Brandyn commented on the song’s background and meaning on his official Facebook page:
“Down” is a song for the fans, it is a song for my girl, it is a song to my friends, peers & collaborators. But more importantly & if I’m being completely honest, it’s a song to myself.
I was going throug...
[Verse 1]
I'm angry sometimes
My heart's on the line
These problems are mine to hold
I push and you pull
But I'm just too confused
So I'm crawling into a hole
[Chorus]
Are you gonna hold me down?
I'm high when I come back down
I fall 'til I hit the ground
So tell me now
Are you gonna hold me down?
King with a tainted crown
I fall 'til I hit the ground
So tell me now
Are you gonna hold me down?
[Verse 2]
You're angry sometimes
I'm fueling a fire
To watch it go up in flames
You push and you pull
We're just too confused
Don't tell me that I can change
[Chorus]
Are you gonna hold me down?
I'm high when I come back down
I fall 'til I hit the ground
So tell me now
Are you gonna hold me down?
King with a tainted crown
I fall 'til I hit the ground
So tell me now
Are you gonna hold me down?
[Bridge]
I keep on slipping but I know it's not my fault
I just need closure
I know it's on the way, I know it's on the way
But I keep running to my problems
To the same place where I got 'em
I know it's not the way
[Chorus]
Are you gonna hold me down?
I'm high when I come back down
I fall 'til I hit the ground
So tell me now
Are you gonna hold me down?
King with a tainted crown
I fall 'til I hit the ground
So tell me now
Are you gonna hold me down?
