Let Down

One of the greatest and most underrated songs by Radiohead, found on their OK Computer album.
You know where,
You know where you are with,
You know where you are with,
Floor collapsing, floating, Bouncing back
And one day, I’m gonna grow wings,
A chemical reaction,
Hysterical and useless,
Hysterical and
Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

don't let down

Although "Don't let down (me)" sounds like the opposite to "Don't leave hanging(me)" the two phrases are synonymous Both phrases are about support or more precisely about losing needed support. If you ask another not to let you down you're asking that person not to take away their support. On the other hand if you ask a person not to leave you hanging, again you are asking them not to take away their support and leave you "hanging"
I need your help, please don't let down (me). I'm depending on your help, don't leave hanging (me).
