Bring Down Lyrics
All the earthly aims were formed
From the earliest pass that climbs
In my mind
Now the joy has burned out and its gone
When the amber skies are filled
Seems the days around are ripe for conquering
Now the joy has burned out and its gone
But I don't know where
Bring down, bring down
All thoughts
Of greatness
And leave all to be
Sound and nothing more
Pray for all to end
And silence be all
Now the joy has burned out and its gone
But I don't know where
From the earliest pass that climbs
In my mind
Now the joy has burned out and its gone
When the amber skies are filled
Seems the days around are ripe for conquering
Now the joy has burned out and its gone
But I don't know where
All thoughts
Of greatness
And leave all to be
Sound and nothing more
Pray for all to end
And silence be all
Now the joy has burned out and its gone
But I don't know where

This song expresses exactly how it feels to be suffering from major depression, and feeling suicidal.
@musicnmeaning. I'm really sorry to hear that and I hope you're feeling better. My interpretation of this song is a different one. I'll post it below.

Great song. Great album, actually.
The theme of this song (and of the whole album, for that matter), in my opinion, is the simple life. It's about the desires the world puts into our minds and souls and how we must strive to see life with simpler eyes. It's about getting rid of all the noise saying what's basic and what's the benchmark for a successful life. It's about praying for these voices to be silenced and be left with only simpler thoughts and plans.
Bring down all thoughts of greatness.
