“Bringing it Down”, the eleventh song on the album “Vessels”, is about a destructive relationship the narrator has which is very detrimental to himself but which he can’t seem to stop since the person which he shares this relationship with has lured him to them and is not letting him go, evident by the lines “You opened up your cage, pathetic insect, drawn to flame”.

The reason for them mistreating the narrator is probably something bad that happened to them before in a relationship which they now let out on the narrator as stated by the lines “There’s something that you have lost, and you’re bringing it down on top of us.”

This song is also arguably the most heavy one on the album which complements the themes in this song well.

The song received a remastering in the album’s expanded edition, Vessels 2.0.
