THE COMEDOWN
THE COMEDOWN is about realising you’ve been led on by someone who only knows how to want you in altered moments. It’s the ache of being desired when they’re drunk, and dismissed when they’re 'clear minded'.
The song lives in that painful contradiction — understanding the truth, and still desperately needing them anyway.
GOT YOU QUESTIONING WHAT KIND OF MAN YOU ARE
LYRICS
And I can’t seem to take it when you
Say I’m the one you need
But only on ecstasy
I like it when you lean
And start to scream don’t walk out on me
Coz I can’t seem to to take it when you leave
(Ah)
(You’re killing me)
(You’re killing me)
(You’re killing me)
The comedown starts
Got you questioning what kind of man you are
You waste the sun
And hide in air conditioned apartments
Told you on the way home
You're a waste of your potential
Showed me how your father thinks
By getting too judgmental on yourself
And my god
I wish that I could help
I touch you in my sleep
Even though you’re cruel to me
I show you better things
A way to live
Don’t walk out on me
And I can’t seem to take it when you
Say I’m the one you need
But only on ecstasy
I like it when you lean
And start to scream don’t walk out on me
Coz I can’t seem to to take it when you leave
The comedown starts
And the judgment in the mirror finds my heart
I feel like I’m the joker
And the crowd around me’s laughing
Maybe nothing’s real
It’s just connection I imagined
On my own
But the city doesn’t know
Do you light your tongue
With magnets made for me
With honour on your sleeve
But you feel so young standing when next to me
Got years ahead of me
(Oh)
I touch you in my sleep
Even though you’re cruel to me
I show you better things
A way to live
Don’t walk out on me
