| Kings of Leon – Back Down South Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
In this song, Caleb is reminiscing on his younger days in Nashville (Down South). From the first verse, he's saying that in those years he spent down South you had to fight for survival. "How far you wanna go" Here, he's saying that him and the rest of the band had to fight a lot / work very hard to get were they are today. In the second verse, he goes into deeper detail of life down South. He shares us with one of his memories of him and the bands journey to get to the top, "underneath the stars, where we parked the cars 'aint showing signs of stopping. Pretty little girls, naked to their curls ready to lay in a coffin". When the band first started off they used to play in strip clubs in the night. We can pretty much tell were it goes from here with, "Naked to their curls ready to lay in a coffin". Then in the third verse he's going back to when they were forming the band. Caleb is telling everyone to trust him and that the band is going to be a big one. Then in the last verse, Caleb is looking at where he is now. He wants to go Back Down South and relive these beautiful happy memories he has. Once again he says "take my hand" as he wants everyone to trust him and Back Down South is a beautiful happy place. Back Down South is his home, he needs a break from the fame and he wants to go back to the much simpler things, home. |
