In the dictionary, the definition of “Down the line” states “a further, later, or unspecified point”. I think that Dustin (the lead singer) is talking to a friend telling them that “down the line” he’ll be there for them, and together they’ll have each other’s backs through the foggy and unknown future. - via LeoKellogg on Genius Annotations "It’s a lot about myself, I guess. It’s about me facing depression head-on. I was trying to work on music and I was feeling so fucking low. Just like, in the dirt. I couldn’t get anything to happen. My creativity was completely zapped. I was kind of breaking down. I hadn’t really been sleeping. I started working on this song, and I really liked how it was feeling. I put lyrics down. I did the whole song really fast. It was one of the only songs on the record that I did in one or two sittings. I realized if I just kind of faced how I was feeling, I could use it to my advantage. I could let it out." – Dustin Payseur, The FADER
Lyrics:
[Verse 1] I don't want your Wall Street Don't got no degree Written on the concrete A-C-A-B Couldn't really tell you What I'm trying to find Everyone's so boring Makes me wanna to lose my mind [Chorus] So call me up tonight If you need somewhere to get out of the light These days I feel like I do nothing right So come with me and we'll go down the line [Verse 2] I'm thinking of you fondly When I'm on the train I really hate your poetry You hate mine the same [Chorus] So call me up tonight If you need somewhere to get out of the light These days I feel like I do nothing right So come with me and we'll go down the line [Outro] These days I feel like I do nothing right So come with me and we'll go down the line
