FKA twigs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh, yeah, ooh, ooh, yeah
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, yeah, ooh, ooh, yeah
Great minds of men will fall down
Without nature's peace or a woman's profound
Love and death is compound
Intertwine be wisdom bound
Brave eyes, how we flow
Weave with my body, bathe in my sea
Easy, come on in slow
Crown you with my love
Lay down the weak
Down, ooh, down, troubles
Lay your troubles down and your heavy crown
Take your troubles off, I'ma love you soft
Let's make amends with minds of men
When he's inside
A man's a boy, he's all alone
You will know when he's inside
Give him your love and don't deny
Be the shoulder where he cries
Love and death is compound
I am yours tonight
For human kind
Sacred is the body, baby
Brave eyes, how we flow
Weave with my body, bathe in my sea
Easy, come on in slow
Crown you with my love
Lay down the weak
Down, ooh, down, troubles
Lay your troubles down and your heavy crown
Take your troubles off, I'ma love you soft
Well, let's make amends with minds of men
Mmh, minds of men
Lay your troubles down and your heavy crown
Take your troubles off, I'ma love you soft
Well, let's make amends with minds of men (troubles)
Down, ooh, down, troubles
(Just lay troubles down, oh)
(And troubles down)
(Just let go)
(Lay your worries down)
Many minds of men
Do best they can
We don't want to fight
Let me take your hand
Just lay your worries down
Now it's a woman's world
