CHVRCHES - Down Side Of Me Lyrics






Maybe I
Tell you that it's no big deal
Maybe I can aim this high
Or maybe I could eat my words

You're not same, not the same, you're not the same
Not the same, you're not the same, not the same
You're not same, not the same

I believe, I believe
And tell myself to think forward
I will show I believe
And hold you up and know that you're all I see in the light
And never do what I used to

Maybe you
Could tell 'em that you stayed the course
Maybe I could tear my view
Or maybe I should eat my words

You're not same, not the same, you're not the same
Not the same, you're not the same, not the same
You're not same, not the same

I believe, I believe
And tell myself to think forward
I will show I believe
And hold you up and know that you're all I see in the light
And never do what I used to
And never do what I used to

Keep you away from the down side of me
You can keep me a drip of the light that you see
I believe that you're all that you said you would be
If I keep you away from the down side of me
(Only if you could see)
You can keep me a drip of the light that you see
(Only if I could see)
I believe that you're all that you said you would be
(Only if you could see)

If I keep you away from the down side of me
(Only if I could see)
You can keep me a drip of the light that you see
(Only if I could see)
I believe that you're all that you said you would be
(Only if I could see)
[x3]

You would be
You would be
You would be

I believe, I believe
And tell myself to think forward
I will show I believe
And hold you up and know that you're all I see in the light
All I see

I believe, I believe
And tell myself to think forward
I will show I believe
And hold you up and know that you're all I see in the light
And never do what I used to
And never do what I used to

  1. a.... k....

    Gran tema increíble voz

  2. C.... A....

    Temis así que ahora argumentan mucho que Ellos aman a sus parejas o más bien que eso siempre lo han hecho

  3. C.... A....

    1:48 Figura "aaay siiii... in lainnnns" ahi si que te pego o que te hago es lo que dice, después seguían las Figuras de las pequeñas conejos que van a casarse según van sonando las campanas

  4. C.... A....

    Temis y esto también es su canción de las Michelles, Temis mira que le han puesto una música morbosa y pornografica para que se hundan
    *que idiota la gente de no sospecharlo prevenirse o imaginarlo*

  5. t.... s....

    Beautiful

  6. K.... B....

    Damn ive been on a playlist today and have not come to a song i would skip

  7. S.... B....

    I adore this song. Just upped it to 1.5 speed and it opens intriguing potential for a dance remix. The original's fantastic though.

  8. D.... B....

    This song is pretty cool nothing like there first album tho if I do say so myself

  9. D.... T....

    After all these years this is still a beautifully crafted song 👍

  10. N.... i....

    i really wish one day they will perform this song 😞 i really love this and i think it’s so underrated

  11. k.... a....

    Pure ⛈

  12. m.... g....

    i'll keep you away from the dow nside of me ;)

  13. H.... ....

    Lauren ❤ Beautiful, intelligent and Scottish 😎

  14. D.... n....

    such a powerful song! this is a whole other experience in itself. we need this in 8D

  15. C.... f....

    Pop itself means nothing, when you swarm around something then it pops...

  16. D.... G....

    one great song after another, they were the best synthpop of the last decade

  17. s.... s....

    pure perfection

  18. N.... ....

    the bridge of this song is the finest chvrches moment, wowie

    N.... ....

    It's almost a separate track in itself.

  19. C.... O....

    This song reminds me of Gotham for some reason?

  20. s.... g....

    masterpiece

  21. R.... P....

    This song is hard to listen to, but I love it, because I share a similar experience to Lauren. Maybe I’m far off, but after hearing she had an emotionally abusive relationship, the meaning to this song, at least what I think is the meaning, is rather sad and so relatable.

    Basically, being emotionally abused, especially from someone like a narcissist is traumatizing, and makes you think you’re the problem. “Keep you away from the down side of me” means she has to fake it in hopes things will change how they use to be. Hence “I never do what I use to”. It makes her feel she has to be different to change the abusive lover back to how they were at the start. The song starts with “not the same. You’re not the same” repeated. Then “I believe and tell myself to think forward” is basically believing things will go back to how they use to.

    A very sad song, yet so beautifully written and performed.

    R.... P....

    Raven Paradox I really like this interpretation and I think it is the most accurate if its not the actual meaning. I was wondering what "down side of me" meant, and it seems to be her true self, the self that just isn't enough for her partner anymore. Really sad indeed & I'm sorry you had a similar experience

    R.... P....

    wow. I literally did not interpret this song until you mentioned it.

    R.... P....

    I saw it in a similar way too. i was in an abusive relationship. the words in the song I resonate with the most are, "I believe that you're all that you said you would be" because i still believe him when he smiled at me with the most care in a persons eyes I had ever seen and said, "Trust me, I'm not going anywhere." I kept those words when he became an alcoholic and drug addict. but realized I had to let go of the person that was now in front of me, in order to protect myself, as well as the memory of the person that once was. that's at least what I saw in the lyrics as well. I felt like she kept going back and forth saying that he is all that he said he was, and then her saying "You're not the same"




    but that's also the beauty of music. the words always interpret into what we are going through.

  22. m.... k....

    best song ever

  23. b.... ....

    This could be their best effort ever...

  24. s.... s....

    powerfull, beautifoul song

  25. R.... R....

    This song is music from heaven

  26. R.... H....

    This is a perfect synth pop record. What else is there to say?

  27. s.... s....

    To jest kosmiczne. Prawdziwa perełka. A wokal Lauren baśniowy.

  28. B.... K....

    Their best song ever!!

    Never paid this song it's dues before tonight. WOW. Would love to hear the 'liner notes' on this one.

  39. w.... h....

    another great one!

  40. J.... L....

    Way more than a song I find this to be an absolutely wonderful experience. The way it builds in the middle - hesitates and then almost throws you off a cliff into some wonderful safe world that few popular tunes can allow you to reach.. in a word Brilliant!!!

  41. L.... D....

    Then read the Holy Word. Then read the book of Genesis.

  42. S.... ....

    Reminds me of Lights.

  43. M.... ....

    like an electro harriet wheeler or nina perrson

    M.... ....

    Harriet!!!!!

  44. P.... ....

    Such an amazing song, almost haunting. I love their dance anthems, but this and her version of tightrope really show of her unique vocal skills. One of my favourite female singers right now.

  45. D.... T....

    My FAVORITE Chvrches song!

  46. N.... ....

    I believe, I believe, and tell myself to think forward~

  47. A.... M....

    m.... g....

    milton gabriel cazares igual Men

  51. M.... T....

    It might sound weird but instrumental kind of reminds me 00's Justin Timberlake songs. Not in bad way.

    M.... T....

    M.... T....

    music and video game obsessed dude depends who you ask. stop spouting opinions as fact.

    M.... T....

    Jeez i love this song so much ❤️

  58. M.... S....

    HEY GUYS Y'ALL HAVE GREAT TASTE OF MUSIC #CHVRCHES<3

  59. O.... ....

    This song deserves more hits

    O.... ....

    I read that as "tits." What the fuck is wrong with me?

  60. k.... ....

    Love this song! from my favourite album in years!

  61. R.... T....

    I wish all pop songs had this level of depth

    R.... T....

    This was a clear compliment. I roll my eyes at this first guy who seems to think his butt is hurt for some reason. People put so much weight on musical classifications, all they are is some dude's opinion that went mainstream. The very concept of pop has changed so much over 40 years, you could compare what was considered pop in the past with what people say is pop now and it wont even be similar. When I was young I used to always say "my favorite music is alternative rock" coz that sounded cool to say and while it's mostly true if I were to take my top 20 songs of all time it would be impossible to classify them into the same genre, or even the same 5 genres. LISTEN to whatever appeals to you, dont ever be pressured by anyone, find the music that makes you feel something and dont ever let anyone tell you that it belongs to some "type" of music that just isn't cool for whatever reason.

    Annonymous guy, you don't need classifications for music to hope to recreate it at all, if a band is good enough like these guys they will be remembered by name and by song and copied for decades to come. All good music has clones and they come in all shapes and sizes ranging from angelic to unbearable.

    R.... T....

    CHVRCHES is not a pop band, they are a punk band...

    R.... T....

    Y’all afraid of categorizing a song as pop like it’ll make it worse or something.

  62. V.... G....

    Almost perfect...love this song! Make me feel in love or something xD

  63. M.... A....

    I believe and tell myself to think forward...

  64. N.... B....

    My favourite song from their second album

  65. o.... ....

    Catchy... pop... Yet we will never hear on radio, another reason why not to listen to radio trash.

    o.... ....

    +oasisbeyond yes, in my country is the same

  66. W.... v....

    3:10 to 3:51 might be one of the best climax build-ups from the past ten years.

    W.... v....

    Willem van Beek
    Doesn't it start at 2:21 already? ;)

    W.... v....

    Gintoki Sama royksopp. specifically, Something in my Heart, it's like the male version of this song imo

    W.... v....

    You misspelled ever.

    W.... v....

    Check iamamiwhoami (Blue) and her later alias ionnalee (Everyone afraids to be forgotten). She's ethereal and makes superb synthpop.

  67. D.... H....

    This song is so gently powerful and beautiful 💖

  68. b.... d....

    Thaks for upload this !! its amazing! :D
