Dodie Clark - Down Lyrics






I woke up as heavy as lead
An ocean of worry weighs me down in bed

But there's things to do, there's a life to live
Must ignore my stupid head

Friends float above in the wind
Bright balloons pulling them up as they grin

But there's things to do, there's a life to live
Must ignore the things I think

OooOOOoooOOoh

It's like walking around with a stone for a heart
People swimming in honey as your life falls apart
It's cold and it's dark and there's no way out
I felt like you once, I wish I could shout

It's like walking around with a stone for a heart
People swimming in honey as your life falls apart
It's cold and it's dark and there's no way out
I felt like you once, I wish I could shout

You never can undo the brain
Now it knows of the holes, it will fall as it's trained

Cause there's things to do
There's a life to live
Watch them laugh
While you stay in, the rain

    downs lyrics are kinda rlly rlly important to me, i’ve been feeling so so so strange lately and all i can really do is isolate myself then wonder why i have no friends and i’m so sad, i’ve really been struggling to get myself out of bed or really do anything and i’ve been actively trying to avoid school but there’s only so much school i can miss. i’m starting year 11 next week, my friend that i’m closest to is leaving the school and i haven’t even been a good friend because i spend all of my lunchtimes in the bathroom hiding because i’ve just been so exhausted??? and i absolutely HATE myself right now because i know i’m being so draining and i wish i could spend more time with her before she leaves but i cant seem to stop how i’m feeling :( i’m so nervous for school without her, it will be my second last year of schooling and i just feel so stupid sometimes because i try but i can’t get the grades i want, and i just do terrible :( or like i’ll get straight A’s (95-100%) in english for example, but when it comes time for exams my brain just stops and i get like 60-70% and i just get so frustrated, i cant deal with that again and aah i just really needed to rant sorry :(

    j.... i....

  10. M.... O....

    Years later, this song remains one of the most relatable songs I've ever heard. Thank you, it really helps to hear sometimes.

  11. M.... /....

    Yay depression! It's a b***h init?

  12. L.... W....

    I keep hoping she'll put an updated version of this on an album

  13. J.... B....

    I always watch this video... It’s a real song unlike any other song ever made. And it so happened to be posted on my birthday.

  14. L.... ....

  18. A.... ....

    I started my first day of middle school just a few days ago, and this song hit me hard just like everyone else says because i made this friend. I got into a fight because of a dumb thing, but i should've not been mad at her, more of my "toxic friend". She thinks shes funny, smart, amazing, cool. So many times in situations she called me things like "your never gonna be up to his standards" and " why is she still your friend" me thinking shes right i ask her why and she doesnt rolls her eyes at me. This time she asked " You never made friends with her, yall she was my first friend" From that day on the girl i made friends with and the toxic friends replaced me in my friend group. I was no longer welcomed in my group of friends. We share p.e and band and i see all my old friends laugh with her and i can just feel me crying as i remember how fun it was to laugh with them. Feeling like the guy i liked doesnt even know i exsist, and as my other friends i talk to about this i feel like im just a burden of my problems to them. Sometimes i just wish the pain would go away

  19. C.... B....

For isntance im way to liud and i swar they probably talk about me constantly behind my back and i dont know what to do because im not even in hjghschool yet and i cant imagine how i would be in highschool. Id probably lose all my friends and be lonely

  39. S.... B....

    please release this <3 i love this song so much xx

  40. A.... S....

    I have bad derealization and it’s so hard for others to understand when they don’t have it so this hit me hard

  41. W.... B....

    You did an amazing job of explaining just how it sometimes feels. I haven't seen very many happy days since my boyfriend of almost 5 years left me last year. It will be a year July 21st and it hasn't gotten much better for me. It seems from the comments that you have touched many lives and I hope you will continue what you're doing because you do make a difference. ♥

  42. L.... P....

    L.... P....

    Leah Piper SHEHASABOOK?!

    L.... P....

    Books,Broadway And BTS YES YES. it’s called “Secrets for the Mad - Obsessions, Confessions, And Life Lessons” you can get it at target for like $15 but it’s worth it. She writes so well.

  44. R.... G....

    This song perfectly describes what my depression is like and how hard it is to just get things done. It’s nice to have something to relate to.

  45. R.... ....

    AHH! Cute singing sprite in coveralls! The cute! It's over 9000!

  46. r.... s....

  53. P.... G....

    Oh wow. You're the only artist that's songs ever manage to bring me tears this is beautiful.

  54. S.... F....

    I failing everything I do, I’m losing my friends, my best friend abandoned me and kicked me out of her life when I needed her the most. I’m trying to keep myself up but I can’t, I’m seeing a therapist for months now, and I can’t get through this depression. I’m only 16, I’m supposed to decide of my future this weekend but I’m so lost, I feel so alone and I don’t know what to do. I’m constantly trying to cheer the others but nobody can see how much I’m in pain, not even my mom.
    I just want to be normal, to be okay.
    In France it’s late now I’m supposed to sleep cause I have school tomorrow but I’m just crying in bed, i can’t sleep, and sometime I have to get up to breath cause I’m sobbing
    I thought I would listen to some music to calm down but now I feel even sadder
    I know everyone has problem and I feel bad for complaining about mine but I’m so scared right now and this place is the only one I found to meet people like me....
    I’m so sorry for wasting your time, good night and have a nice day...

  55. c.... s....

    i’m not sure if “people swimming in honey as your life falls apart” is meant to be interpreted as “wow everyone else has a gr8 life, life’s sweet for them” but i see it as a depersonalisation line? because that’s how it kinda feels (for me at least), as if everyone else is moving through thick honey and time’s all weird and different and hard to move through?? idk man it’s a really good song either way :)

  56. �.... ....

    This might be strange, but i really like it when you mess your hair and you keep on going with the messy hair. It feels relaxing? I dunno.

  57. K.... ....

    I love this song so much because it's so relatable for me my friends ask me if I'm okay I tell them I'm fine when I just feel so... just it's hard to explain but it's nice to know other people go through the same thing and I'm not alone.

  58. K.... H....

    Dodie,
    I just wrote a very emotional comment on Golden Slumbers and I'm still not done with this. I've been watching your videos for a very long time. And every single thing you've uploaded gave me a sense of hope and had evoked so many emotions for me. Crying to this song at three in the morning is so much better than sleeping sometimes.
    I've been rewatching the videos that has gotten me through all of my bad days and remembering that I've gotten through them all.
    Thank you so much Dodie,
    -Keilani

  59. R.... V....

    OH MAH LORD this sums up a lot of my days, like jeEz!
    Curse you social anxiety, karma will come for you one day.
    my comment is way more light-hearted than the truth tho..:/

  60. S.... ....

    Djeez, that song pulled at my heartstrings.. It made me crumble behind the keyboard. :')

  64. h.... m....

  65. B.... P....

  87. c.... ....

    I'm down to clown

  88. S.... T....

    dangerous to listen to when youre coming out of the dark...

  89. B.... A....

    Honestly I listen to this nearly everyday... It makes me feel so good. It makes me feel so incredibly normal... People always trying to fix me, or cheer me up... when all I really need is someone to validate my feelings. This song makes me feel normal and heard. I cannot express to you how much it has done for me. Ever since it has come out! Thank you.

    I know this sounds super idiotic and unrealistic, but one of my biggest dreams/goals/wishes in life is to somehow someway i don't know, meet dodie somehow

    Dodie is just one of the most amazing people i've ever seen/heard/obsessed over for a tiny bit

    c.... ....
