Knock Me Down Lyrics
never too soon to be through
being cool too much too soon
too much for me too much for you
you're gonna loose in time
every turn looking to burn
some never learn live and learn
stop your searching for a curse
before you end up in a hearse
don't be afraid to show your friends
that you hurt inside inside
pain's part of life don't hide behind your false pride
it's a lie your lie
don't slip away and don't forget
i'll give you more than you can get
it's so lonely when you don't even know
yourself come to me
if you see me getting mighty
if you see me getting high
knock me down
i'm not bigger than life
i'm tired of being untouchable
i'm not above the love
i'm part of you and you're part of me
why did you go away
too late to tell you how i feel
i want you back but i get real
can you hear my falling tears
making rain where you lay
finding what you're looking for
can end up being such a bore
i pray for you most every day
my love's with you now fly away
if you see me getting mighty
if you see me getting high
knock me down
i'm not bigger than life
it's so lonely when you don't even know yourself
being cool too much too soon
too much for me too much for you
you're gonna loose in time
every turn looking to burn
some never learn live and learn
stop your searching for a curse
before you end up in a hearse
don't be afraid to show your friends
that you hurt inside inside
pain's part of life don't hide behind your false pride
it's a lie your lie
don't slip away and don't forget
i'll give you more than you can get
it's so lonely when you don't even know
yourself come to me
if you see me getting mighty
if you see me getting high
knock me down
i'm not bigger than life
i'm tired of being untouchable
i'm not above the love
i'm part of you and you're part of me
why did you go away
too late to tell you how i feel
i want you back but i get real
can you hear my falling tears
making rain where you lay
finding what you're looking for
can end up being such a bore
i pray for you most every day
my love's with you now fly away
if you see me getting mighty
if you see me getting high
knock me down
i'm not bigger than life
it's so lonely when you don't even know yourself

The song is actually about Hillel Slovak as far as I know...
What I think Anthony Keidis meant when he wrote this is when his problems with drugs got to be too much, his band members would help him out, or as he put it, when they see him getting high, knock him down.
This song is about Hillel and its also about not letting fame go to your head. Thats what he means by "getting high" its not a drug reference.
hey can somebody please tell me why when this song appears on "What Hits" it's missing a lot of these lyrics!?! i dunno, maybe its just my cd???
No no, its more that, Anthony first wrote this as a poem, but he had to make it into a song, but he didnt wanted to cut the poem short, 'caus it was after dedicated to his best friend, so he just didnt sing some lines.
I THINK, I havent read this anywhere, but makes sense to me.
anthony wrote this song to hillel slovak, his best friend. And he says that meaning its bout when somebody it's on top (drugs, success) that happened to hillel, and anthony says that somebody have to 'knock me down', i mean realize that sometimes you've to fall down.
no is not just your cd, that song appears on "Mothers Milk", great cd. And "What hits" as the name its just a compilation. or what do you mean?
please ask me again if a don't understand!!!
haha ok what im asking is the lyrics, every turn looking to burn some never learn live and learn stop your searching for a curse before you end up in a hearse AND
too late to tell you how i feel i want you back but i get real can you hear my falling tears making rain where you lay
are not in the song when anthony keidis sings it on my "What Hits" cd so please somebody explain why?!?
