Coming Down Lyrics

Cover art for Coming Down lyrics by David Gray

I like to think the line: "I got a sword to stem the rivers And cut the moon in half" refers to the feeling of power her love gives him.

First of all, anyone who has ever "done cocaine" would know that the LAST thing you'd do would be to sleep... So that idea is null & void. Here's what I see...

This is someone recovering..or TRYING to recover from a love. When he was with her, he felt power, he danced, felt alive...now, he may be 'indulging' in something narcotic to numb himself because he is in LOVE, but he doesn't want to be..he's scared. He just desparately wants to be with this woman, but he is still too scared to admit it completely...he still thinks he's...
