Down Lyrics

Chill
Light on my side as my ego becomes
A funky child with some words on my tongue
Be like intake of breath and my mouth gets loose
So while I scatter my spit, I dream of juice
Have you ever made out in dark hallways?
Displayed a kiss that made your day?
Or, say, play a track from your record collection
It's your mix, congratulations

We changed a lot and then some, some
Know that we have always been down, down
If I ever didn't thank you, you
Then just let me do it now (come back in)

I bet you light up when we start the show
Follow me now, very close because I told you so
You know we glow because we throw sun rays
Yeah, we be freaky and we wanna stay, uh

We changed a lot and then some, some
Know that we have always been down, down
If I ever didn't thank you, you
Then just let me do it now

Lightning strikes, yo, we be in that violent force of light
Guaranteed to turn it out as bad as Dolemite
Because we're dope, kid, change like a chameleon
And the channel whenever the whack show "Real World" is on
You know we dazzle like ghetto box boomin' battles
Rattle inside your head, feel redeemed like cola bottles
Fall in love with your teachers, on the wax we are self made
Check the technique, 311 in L.A.

Changed a lot and then some, some
Know that we have always been down, down
If I ever didn't thank you, you
Then just let me do it now

Keep my feet on the ground
Keep my head in the clouds
Electrified by the sound
It comes from the down, and

We changed a lot and then some, some
Know that we have always been down, down
If I ever didn't thank you, you
Then just let me do it now

What is the Meaning of Down?

This is a shoutout to all the groovy, music-loving souls out there! "Down" is a funky, feel-good anthem that pays homage to 311's journey and their steadfast fans. The lyrics are an energetic mix of gratitude, self-awareness, and a dash of ego - because hey, they're rockstars! They've changed and grown but never lost sight of their roots or their appreciation for those who've stuck with them through it all. So whether you're making out in dark hallways or jamming to your favorite record, remember to stay grounded but keep dreaming big. And if 311 hasn't thanked you yet for being part of their wild ride - well, they're doing it now!
