Melody

Lyrics

Meet this town,
A dump where I found
All my inspiration.
Just take a look around,
This ground so brown,
I feel so down to even walk around.

This is the
place where I left a piece of my heart,
And it has
taken all of my soul,
Ohhh I should’ve
Gone but I made a promise to you
That we will never be apart.

But you’re so
Down - du - down - du - down
I can’t see your face with this expression,
Oh why are you so
Down - du - down - du - down
I won’t leave you facing this depression,
I’ll always be with you.

Down with the clowns.
Everyone has a
sign begging for compassion.
It’s found all over
Town, this town so brown.
I’m looking for an
Ounce of fine medication.

I seek to
Find myself all happy and gay
And forget all about my life,
Ohhhh
Watch those birds sit above the skyscrapers,
Crapping all over my face all the time.

But you’re so
Down - du - down - du - down,
I can’t see your face with this expression,
Oh why are you so
Down - du - down - du - down - down,
We only have each other in this world,
Don’t bring me down

This is the town I
Gave the best years of my life
Which I have torn apart into pieces
Ohh oh
All those voices inside my brain
They’re telling
Me that I am insane

Down with the frown.
I found myself all
drown in desperation
Wishing the town would
burn down to the ground
Now pouting by myself,
In tears, frowning like a clown

Keep telling
Myself: “You’ll be fine…”
But all of this time,
I was so blind

To realize how much
I love you
You know my mind is
Not sound without you
Don’t leave me behind

About the song

There was a part of the melody I really liked, which is the refrain. I kinda thought I could make a whole song out of it, but I think it got a bit repetitive. Towards the end, I added a bunch of variation.

As for the lyrics, I think I just wanted some "unusual" lyrics. Most of the rhymes end with "-own" sound, like "town", "ground", "brown".

I can't say this song is very high on my list. Back them it's one of the first song where I tried to have sang lyrics, but I think they turned out a bit weird even for me.

📅 But hey, let's see the result!
