Story Behind the Song
Long Way Down tells the tale of what happens after the end of a relationship. The lyricist cries, “Sympathy is a drug you feed on/when there’s no one left to blame.” The darkness falls at the end of the day when “it’s a long way back to wonderful/to love again/away from you.” Trust is destroyed, and the once-beloved is “as empty as the smile painted on.” Listen and feel the depth of love and hurt in the song Long Way Down.
