Created for Zane Lowe’s re-score of Drive, “Don’t Look Down” was released on the band’s SoundCloud on October 29th, 2014.
The song’s overall message is that drugs take control of your life. The devil that the song frequently talks about is a metaphor for “drug.”
The song was created in partnership...
[Intro: Oli Sykes & Orifice Vulgatron]
(Don't look down, down)
(Down, down) Let's go!
[Verse 1: Oli Sykes]
You'll never take me, you'll never win
If I'm going down, you're coming with me
I'll never shut down, I'll never sleep
If I'm going down, I'm taking the world with me
[Verse 2: Orifice Vulgatron, Oli Sykes & Both]
Yo, the Devil's at your door
You sold your soul, now he's coming back for more
Don't fight it, it'll only make it worse
You signed the line, you said the words
Get ready for the end of everything (Don't look down), yo
Get ready for the end of everything (Don't look down)
The Devil's at your door (The Devil's at your door)
You sold your soul, now he's coming back for more
Don't fight, it'll only make it worse
You signed the line, you said the words
Get ready for the end of everything (Get, get, get)
Get ready for the end of everything
[Pre-Chorus: Oli Sykes]
What have you done? You've opened it now
And I'm not sure there's anyway 'round
Why do you run? It's tripping me out
And I don't know if I can keep up with you now
[Chorus: Oli Sykes]
The sky is falling, the sun is burning a hole into our eyes
The ground will open like an ocean and swallow us alive
You say you swear to God, now swear to me
You say you swear to God, now swear to me
[Verse 2: Orifice Vulgatron, Oli Sykes & Both]
(Yeah) Yo, the Devil's at your door
You sold your soul, now he's coming back for more
Don't fight, it'll only make it worse
You signed the line, you said the words
Get ready for the end of everything
You'll never take me, you'll never win
Get ready for the end of everything
If I'm going down, I'm taking the world with me
[Pre-Chorus: Oli Sykes]
What have you done? You've opened it now
And I'm not sure there's anyway 'round
Why do you run? It's tripping me out
And I don't know if I can keep up with you now
[Chorus: Oli Sykes]
The sky is falling, the sun is burning a hole into our eyes
The ground will open like an ocean and swallow us alive
You say you swear to God, now swear to me
You say you swear to God, now swear to me
The sky is falling, the sun is burning a hole into our eyes
The ground will open like an ocean and swallow us alive
You say you swear to God, now swear to me
You say you swear to God, now swear to me
[Outro: Oli Sykes]
Now swear to me, now swear to me

The band stated:
We were approached by [BBC] Radio 1 to score a piece of music for a re-score of the movie Drive. Now if you’ve seen Drive, I’m sure you will agree neither anything from our previous albums, nor “Drown,” would [have] fit very well with the vibe of that particular movie, so we decide...
It was originally released via SoundCloud for free just eight days after the release of the band’s previous single, Drown, enhancing the confusion and disappointment among the band’s old fans caused by a sudden change of the genre, up to the point where the band was compelled to publish a statement...
