Cage The Elephant - Shake Me Down Lyrics

[viddyish]

Great song. Love playing this on my guitar

[Shengch1]

Not a lot of "people" left around. it is bittersweet

[idanie1]

sometimes when im home alone i like to light my head on fire and pretend im a candel

[iheartsyoshii]

@idanie1 never reproduce

[jadejailbreak]

i like how ppl are calling MrTooflyforawhiteguy nuts instead of cursing at him. its way nicer

[APerfectTOOL9999]

Lol they played this song at the BFD. They were awesome, thumbs up if you there?

[brunsara]

this is my theme song for December 21st 2012.

[ShreddedChickens]

Java sucks.

[MrTooflyforawhiteguy]

the lead singer's voice is such a turn-off. I'd probably like Cage The Elephant if they had a different singer

[BIGxBOSSxx1]

@MrTooflyforawhiteguy You have no taste in real vocalists.

[justin7560]

@MrTooflyforawhiteguy Are you nuts? His voice is the best part, it's new and different, very cool sound. I'm tired of all the same generic boring sound, this dudes voice is cool.

[ahoysari]

@MrTooflyforawhiteguy You're nuts! Cage the Elephant has amazing vocal and instrumental parts. It's unique sounding.

[azz75sl]

i get the impression this band was influenced by the early 90s grunge era....

[imaterminator]

Cheap Sex.

[Frodaddy09]

your lyrics are slow. fix it.

[superhotglue]

@Frodaddy09 Shut up and enjoy the music, they're in the description if you care that much.

[XxPuNkJeWeLzxX]

Lol It's Funny How Some Comments Are Not Really Relative To The Video. Just Plain Weird. As The "Heroic Peanut" Said. Lol. xD

[pacguy19]

@theapocilip Alright, “your mom” does not even fit into what I said.

[MrBANANAHEAD68]

the dislike bar is like lady gaga's penis, you know its there but you just cant see it.

[pacguy19]

@MrBANANAHEAD68 I can see a little bit of red. Therefore, your comment is invalid.

[theapocilip]

@pacguy19 that's what your mom said

[Rockinrolllover]

This song is my drug, and i feel a buzz when i listen to the lyrics

[Iamsochill]

This is the unicorn anthem ^_^

They should of ran faster to the ark....

[TOSHandHALZ]

i sent this song to my friend who was going to kill herself. i told her that I've been thru a lot too and sometimes it will be hard. but i keep my eyes fixed on the sun :) i hope this song helps...

3 days later she talked to me and said shes going to get help and find a way out... shes doing fine now :) this song helped a lot. I am glad that I knew this song.. or my friend wouldn't be here.

[ArchaicJester]

@TOSHandHALZ Gone through that before. Lol. It can be harsh. I was 12, and helping people through their problems, including handling my own. It's scarred me a bit, but it rarely comes back, now. Well, kinda, lol. Anyway, just know you did a good deed.

[Arodeyroidz]

@TOSHandHALZ I like how you say it was this song... Thats honestly makes me laugh, you area joke nice story bro but i dont believe it, you probably have no life and just sit here on youtube all day thinking of storys to get you the top like of videos, and that is pathetic... so save your sob stories for someone else...

[Fablefiend]

@TOSHandHALZ It's spelled 'through'. Sorry, it's just one of my pet peeves.

[Diana77641]

@TOSHandHALZ amen to that!

[Endercrew]

This is the song I play when playing minecraft and nobody is around cuz it fits the setting,in fact I should a minecraft music video of this song :D

[blackjayzful]

Im gonna sing this song when all you people are zombies

[syther721]

@blackjayzful that'll be the cure, trust me, cage the elephant can cure anything.

[jakelikesvids]

i like this song i was going to see u at leesds

[Skipe247]

Ehh, fuck you all.

[Jumbobrain67]

Good apocalypse song.

[princeishot09]

Hey. I'm 19 and I'm hooked on heroin... along with thousands of other kids our age.. So quit crying..

[masterplayer1231]

@princeishot09 not sayin its hard but iv had to quite drugs but the heroin state is onnly in ur mind bro not saying get on other drugs but smoke alot of weed

ull move to weed.. or xanex XD

[thechris12211]

Today, I found out that the girl that I really cared about had a boyfriend.

The whole day I was pissed until I searched for this song. It made me feel a lot better.

[hellokitty4me]

:O I thought this was by The Band of Horses, am I the only one who that that?

[XGCScrappy]

That was nice, thank you Sir/Mam

[bigman1009ify]

i listen to this when i'm high, makes me wanna jump to my faith

[mothercarder]

i used to take arrows to the nee............ until i took a lazer to the butthole

[jdub86yc]

im 86 hooked on meth and still listening to this in 2012!

[93joeanthony]

@jdub86yc

Im 18 and hooked on heroin. good deal

[93joeanthony]

@EmptyPictureFrames

Your art teacher is dying of cancer and you want to feel better??

[EmptyPictureFrames]

@93joeanthony Are you saying I should want to feel horrible for him forever? 

[93joeanthony]

@EmptyPictureFrames

No what I'm saying is in this current time he is alive, dying of cancer and You wanted to feel better. Your feeling sad and depressed but he's the one dying. And what about his family. Idk man I just don't like people who only think of themselves. Maybe you should go visit him, try to collect money so maybe his kids could go to college idk get a fucking fruit basket or something.

[philsphan1313]

i listen to this song when i feel sad and depresed

[Muffinmixable]

@HeroicPeanut I don't get it

[SMARTCUTEFUNNYXD]

@Muffinmixable not much to get :/

[XxWicklexrX]

@HeroicPeanut I do the same thing! Except sometimes I put a laundry basket on my back and pretend to be a Snail instead.

[drrednek]

@HeroicPeanut You're such a plagiator

[ImChungalungas]

@HeroicPeanut That joke is older than the internet, you faggot.

[matokaz]

@HeroicPeanut no you don't.

[Tylerisuber]

@HeroicPeanut That's pretty indie.

[imacrazynut321]

@HeroicPeanut wait ca nu explain that to me i dont get it....?

[SlinkierFugur]

@HeroicPeanut o.O

[mermaidsarekewl]

@HeroicPeanut The fuck?

[shiznickers]

@HeroicPeanut phew o.o'' atleast im not alone

[KatieBeeCharlie]

@HeroicPeanut dude......that sounds so freakin fun O_O

[philsphan1313]

@KatieBeeCharlie ikr tht is fun

[funkinthefresh]

@HeroicPeanut Awww now I wanna cover myself in Vaseline and pretend I'm a slug!!

[jock4fun]

excellent beat and energy !

[Danaluvesunicorns]

And to think I was hesitant to listen to this... -slaps self-

[lanicornification]

i think if u follow this song, u will get cataracts SOON!

[Trollderpful]

These lyrics are wrong. Its "I keep my eyes fixed on the son." not sun.

[isalovewierdo]

@Trollderpful They ara right. LOL

[vc3137]

lok how long it is. 333...... 33 is a weird number thought shows up in a lot of places like.. newspaper .. videos.. or in many other places...11 is also a suspisious number

[p00pasauras]

went to this vidd and for some reason i had it disliked. wft? i love this song and am pretty sure i liked it.

[kakakakatafy]

also working on a cover of this :) it's so good <3

[MsRoxy6969]

loove it

[2crazygurls100]

We love this song and did a cover if interested type in Shake me Down cover by the chords

[themidairclash]

Cage The Elephant brought me here themselves. Saw them live and this song absolutely rocked my world! :D

[lopoman100]

whoah! im way to high,someone please "shake me down"... hmmm.. "not a lot of people left around" in hollywood...

[LaurenOgden13]

Shake me down, not a lot of people left around.

Lyrics to live by.

[ZombieEatsUnicorn]

I listen to this song when I feel lonely and it always makes me feel better c:

[thefury171]

@ZombieEatsUnicorn its the opposite for me....

[ZombieEatsUnicorn]

@thefury171 Awwh :c

[blossomingflawer]

Am I the only one who is here because they can't watch the music video because they cry?

[Atwafe]

@blossomingflawer nope, me too.

[djba3]

i disliked this but only because the lyrics are not sinked with the song

[baron1324]

@djba3 I voted this but only because you don't know how to spell.

[oneinamillion55]

@sihplak

We want more albums, but not for a couple years. If they put too much out they'll get bad and cheap. This album isn't bad, but I liked their first one better.

[MyPatriot101]

Dislike Bar is as Long as Kim Kardashian's Marriage

[ItsShorty793]

this song is still beautiful in 2012 <3

[AllEndsWell4]

im happy that there are only 95 tone deaf people who have watched this video :)

[mattamani1616]

This is probably the best song ever:)



[bigman1009ify]

i keep my eyes fix on the sun...

[sihplak]

WE NEED MORE ALBUMS! Come on Cage The Elephant, you're great! Please us all with another album!

[Soluble100]

i like it

[LOLforLIFE123]

heard this on KROQ an hour ago, spent this whole time tracking down this song. finally found it... so worth it. this is the best song.

[ollyoxinme]

dont park in they're parking lot :)

[BigToyMacheingun]

This song is amazing! i totally forgot about cage till like a week ago when i saw this on my sidebar and now i cant stop listening to them!

[blueguy105]

this is really my hole life

[ATLfanatic96]

This song reminds me of after my Dad died. Everyone was there for us but after about a couple of months, they disappeared like that. And there was no one. I had to be strong on my own, and face things I didn't know how to. This song takes me back to that time - a place I don't really want to go - but hey, it's good to heal. Thank you <3

[Oneday7Th]

95 people....wait i just figured something out

!!! i dont care about 95 people and their opinions!

[Decktothedome]

95 people listen to rap.... just saying.

[XAzzuroX]

95 people have a plugged up nose and the rest of us are doing lines off a caged elephants ass

[CaraAsoleada]

absolute love

[SPINNOFFSPIFFY]

Mmmmmmmmmm This is my sex life right here. I listen to Cage The Elephant and I write. Yup, that's my sex life.

[Prayforthewolf]

@SPINNOFFSPIFFY That's awesome! xD You just made my day!

[SPINNOFFSPIFFY]

@Prayforthewolf Haha, Glad I could do someone do someone the favor!!!!

[marceLavigne14]

i was at a tacobell and it was on and i liked it

[GeneralCheesecake]

seeing them live was the most amazing thing ever. right on the barrier

[BeAsTBoI1322]

Bigday out. You reminded me of why I loved them :) thank you :)



[MrCool3000ful]

KROQ 106.7 brought me here

[cutesugarbunny]

They played this at my school today and my boyfriend were like "Oh my god!" at the same time. xD

[TonyaMarieC]

The Lyrics should be faster! I truly love this song...But I was singing to the song and I had to wait about 1min or less for the lyrics would catch up and half the lyrics already!!!

[tnfishing1]

102.9 brought me here

[TooBigToHide]

some times I tickle myself with a feather for no apparent reason

[graffitinoah]

i'm crying

[graffitinoah]

:') so f****ing beautiful

[peaceamind86]

love it!! <3

[foreveryoung1200]

my life sims 2

[hippygroovster]

[TheApple4TheWin]

I was looking for cat daddy but this will do!

[crimsonjunk]

These guys should be the next big thing in rock n roll

[Riddle562]

[MrEmiliah]

I brought myself here :')

[jlj555]

@MrEmiliah

You're* a champ (:

[Guardlove98]

beautiful(:



[bloodybagal]

Music like this seems to be the only thing keeping my going.

[thefury171]

@bloodybagal ikr? this band is one of the few new bands i actually like from the past 5 years.

[giantmarshmellow]

I brokee a Tear...

But Because im Sick. :'/

[supaskater44]

my big dick brought me here.

[TanjaGot1Dinfection]

@moodymarex1 hahaha same reason! 

[myyomil]

my favorite line is (lamp shade turned around into a light post)

[7CamoSnake7]

The divider bar could beat up the dislike bar. :DDD

[zomgseriosuly]

Something about that one line "Turn back now it's time for me to let go" at 1:38 reminds me of like 6 million memories at once

[tstegez35]

someone tell me why the hell "im sexy and i know it" is anywhere near this masterpiece

[wolftek]

@tstegez35 you might feel sexy and not even know it if your listening to this. Even on a cludy day

[wolftek]

@wolftek an o somewhere. OHHHH

[MiRandomLovee]

Why is Mac Miller and Lmfao one of the suggested videos ?

[NINJAMUFFINHARTSU]

I'm crying. Both because of the pure beauty in the song and the thought of losing this band. That almost happened, I almost forgot who Cage the Elephant was. Listening is one thing, but loving and being an actual fan is another. I used to love this music, I still do, but I've gone without it for a while. Now, hearing Shake Me Down again after so long, is just moving. Never thought a song could trigger so much emotion, or so many memories. (:

[zomgseriosuly]

@NINJAMUFFINHARTSU Yessss I forgot about this song for months. So many memories. It's amazing

[SKSowner1]

@NINJAMUFFINHARTSU love this music, but that is possibly the wimpiest thing ive ever heard.

[NINJAMUFFINHARTSU]

@SKSowner1 k cool

[shapesandcoleurs10]

@SKSowner1 agree.

[gottogolate]

@NINJAMUFFINHARTSU does trigger alot of memories...

[secretagentYTer]

@NINJAMUFFINHARTSU they relesed this song like a week ago... but I feel ya, totally agree

[NINJAMUFFINHARTSU]

@secretagentYTer Lol any chance you live in .. well not America ? Because this song was released there like , a year ago :3 haha but thanks (:

[secretagentYTer]

@NINJAMUFFINHARTSU oh shit my bad hahaha yeah big difference, I meant year :)

[NINJAMUFFINHARTSU]

@secretagentYTer Lol i gotchya (: and I'm only 13, so I guess in a way, 1 year is a while to go without a song for me haha .. especially one by this awesome of a band !

[secretagentYTer]

@NINJAMUFFINHARTSU actually I'm 14, so this is making a lot more sense. I guess I just assumed you were older for some reason. I guess I just looked at it as one of those comments were people are like "yeah I remember I listening to this way back in college when me and my friends did blah blah blah. I have a tendency to comment on somethings and when I get a reply I realize how I was kinda really stupid. but yeah, I do the same thing :)

[NINJAMUFFINHARTSU]

@secretagentYTer Lol it's ok, I assumed the same thing about you, sorry :3 and I hope I'll still be listening to this song in college, but I won't turn into one of those douchebags with comments like that . Hahaa I would've done the exact same thing, we all have our blonde moments (:

[NINJAMUFFINHARTSU]

@secretagentYTer And btw, just realizing now, but in my last response to you, sorry if I offended you if you really are blonde haha :3 metaphors -_-

[secretagentYTer]

@NINJAMUFFINHARTSU lol its all good i have brown hair :) yeah like I said, I do the exact same thing though, songs bring back memories, especially the ones you forget about for a while. I moved from florida to michigan when I was little and sometimes I still go back there and its a different kind of home from michigan. Now I listen to bob marley music and all the great memories come back from my last visit to florida :). just one example of many. So yes, I had a blonde moment indeed haha

[NINJAMUFFINHARTSU]

@secretagentYTer Haha okay slight confusion before but I got it now (: I moved from Virginia to Ohio when I was four, I was young, but I still remember my old home and neighborhood well. Whenever I hear Lee Ann Womack or Faith Hill (the music I grew up with before I discovered such awesome bands as Cage), I immediately picture my old life when I was four. I miss it, but I learned to make a new life in Ohio by listening to this kind of music. (: haha you seem cool .

[secretagentYTer]

@NINJAMUFFINHARTSU haha you seem like a pretty cool person too :). I dont have music connected to memories that long ago cause I just got into music a few years ago. Id say the earliest was some green day when I was like 7 though. My dad always played Cream, Hendrix, Nirvana and things when I was growing up but it never really stuck till now and now I live for music like that. Its kinda interesting because songs like In Bloom(Nirvana) were just white noise for years and now I play them in a band

[NINJAMUFFINHARTSU]

@secretagentYTer Oh cool ! In Bloom is my absolute favorite Nirvana song ! And I wish I had a band ): lol I'm learning guitar by ear, and so far I can play this song (: Is your band on youtube ?

[secretagentYTer]

@NINJAMUFFINHARTSU naw, maybe soon though :). like february soon. I take lessons at this place called the Detroit School of Rock and Pop, and they have a band program where they put students together in a band and we play at different gigs. our last gig was at the Hard Rock Cafe. And they have summer camps and last year was we went to Nashville and Memphis. but were gonna be on a local tv show in february and that will probably be on Youtube.

[secretagentYTer]

@NINJAMUFFINHARTSU but our band is also planning on doing things outside the Detroit School of Rock and Pop. It's cool that you're learning by ear that develops really good habits. It'll really come in handy I try to work things out by ear as much as possible :) and you're a Nirvana fan too? thats so cool!

[NINJAMUFFINHARTSU]

@secretagentYTer Haha that sounds like my kinda school (; I wish you guys luck with your music and I hope you can come to Cleveland in the future ! Thanks yeah I'm a huge Nirvana fan, and if you could let me know if that gig does make it on here, I'd like to see it, maybe get you some fans in northern Ohio (: good luck dude and keep listening to Nirvana and Cage the Elephant .(:

[secretagentYTer]

@NINJAMUFFINHARTSU haha you too!

[HAHAOMGLOLKIT1000]

No more top comment :(

[MrSandwichBiznich]

@CokenOpi Hey, I know were all getting a little tired of arrow to the knee jokes but that's no reason to call the guy a cigarette.

[yourxinnerxchild]

where have i heard this???

[woahITZscyan]

i hate memes lol

[Atwafe]

This song is just beautiful, everything about it. The reason I'm not watching the music video is because it's just to depressing. Beautiful is the perfect word for it. :'D

[zomgseriosuly]

@Atwafe Perfect is a beautiful word for it :D

[xxxShadoe3xxx]

This is some sick music. Listen to it <3 Quit trying so hard to make skyrim references. It's ridiculous. JUST LISTEN and enjoy. Comment on the MUSIC

[samtrix08]

@EP1KCAMPER Yet Carmine stayed alive this time around...

[Abarfio]

rack lines of coca even on a cloudy day! 

[dragonlord901]

I used to like this song but then I took an ar....Wait, I always liked this song

Arrow to the knee :? *Break the arrow in half* fuck the arrow -.-
