Atlas Bound Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Darling
Not gonna brainstorm vein wrong ways to hurt him
Cos I don't believe in retribution darling
Mmmmmmmmmm
Oh you don't want, you don't want, this voice of attraction working
Working against you somewhere down in the future
Oh surely we go on the plausible thing to do here
Mmmmmmmmmm
Hold on you feel cos I'm here I'm gonna stop you crying.

Crying
Mmmmmm
Girl I'm only trying
Hold on you feel cos I'm here I'm gonna stop you crying.
I'm gonna stop you crying Your losing her
Why cant you help me provide what you know is good for her
But I think your hiding the truth cos you know it hurts
Mmmmmmmm
Pains me to say it, it hurts cos you're never working
working will get you somewhere down in the future
you're not helping anyone possibly changing our lives here
mmmmmmmm
Hold on you feel cos I'm here I'm gonna stop you crying.

Crying
Mmmmmm
Girl I'm only trying




Hold on you feel cos I'm here I'm gonna stop you crying.
I'm gonna stop you crying

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Atlas Bound's song "Lullaby" are about a person who is trying to comfort and support a loved one who is going through a difficult time. The singer addresses the listener as "darling" and reassures them that they won't try to hurt the person who is causing them pain, as they don't believe in retribution. The lyrics then express concern about a potential future in which the listener's "voice of attraction" may work against them, and urges them to consider the most plausible thing to do in the moment.


The chorus repeats the phrase "hold on you feel" and reassures the listener that the singer is there for them and will "stop [them] crying". The second verse continues the theme of the singer trying to help the listener by pointing out that they are losing someone (presumably the person causing them pain), and that the singer thinks the truth is being hidden because it hurts to face it. The verse ends with a reference to future potential ("working will get you somewhere down in the future") and a plea to consider the impact their actions are having on others.


Overall, the lyrics of "Lullaby" are about being there for someone who needs help and support, and encouraging them to make choices that will lead to a better future. The gentle melody and soothing vocals of the song reinforce this message of comfort and reassurance.
