Lay me Down
Adele Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every part of me, all my words to hold
And hold against me, why won't you let it be?
Don't you ever say my love opened up your heart
No I'm not gonna do it standing up
The words don't come out right when you're right in front of me
Help me baby, won't you turn off the lights
Lay me down ('til the morning)
Lay me down (through the night)
Lay me down (I can fall in)
Lay me down (Won’t you)
Lay me down (I can baby)
Lay me down (Someone believe me)
I would never break the rules unless you tell me to
You can read my mind, be it truth or lies
Lie down beside me, why won't you let it be?
Don't you ever say my love opened up your heart
No I'm not gonna do it standing up
The words don't come out right when you're right in front of me
Help me baby, won't you turn off the lights
Lay me down ('til the morning)
Lay me down (through the night)
Lay me down (I can fall in)
Lay me down (Won’t you)
Lay me down (I can baby)
Lay me down (Someone believe me)
Lay down with me
Lay down with me
Lay down with me
Lay down with me
Words don't come out right when you're right in front of me
Help me baby, won't you turn off the lights
Lay me down ('til the morning)
Lay me down (through the night)
Lay me down (I can fall in)
Lay me down (Won’t you)
Lay me down (I can baby)
Lay me down (Someone believe me)
Adele's song "Lay Me Down" presents an intimate and vulnerable conversation between two people. The first verse suggests that the singer is willing to be honest with their lover but only if they give them permission to do so. The following lines reveal the fear of being judged or held accountable for their words. The singer pleads for the other person to trust them and not to hold their words against them.
The chorus is a simple plea for the other person to lay them down and let them be vulnerable. The repeated phrase "lay me down" becomes a sort of mantra throughout the song. The second verse presents the same pattern as the first. The singer is willing to go against their instincts and break the rules if it means gaining the trust and intimacy of the other person. They ask for the other person to lie beside them and once again plead with them not to judge them for their thoughts or actions.
The song's overall message is about surrendering oneself to the vulnerability and intimacy that comes with truly knowing someone else. The repeated refrain of "lay me down" is not just a physical request but also an emotional one. It is an invitation to trust, to open up, and to surrender oneself to another person.
