Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel weak, things get tough
Sometimes my knees can barely hold me up
I'm no fool, but it's said
You gotta walk a mile 'til you're outta my head

Come within, taste it up
Take a little bit and baby don't you give up
Cast your light, give a damn
You gotta make a move and show me where we can stand

Lay me down in darkness
Tell me what you see
Love is where the heart is
Show me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Avicii ft Adam Lambert's song "Lay Me Down" appear to be a plea to a loved one to show their affection and commitment. The first verse reveals the singer's vulnerability and struggles, admitting that they sometimes feel weak and have trouble standing on their own. However, they are also aware that they cannot let their feelings control them, and they must keep moving forward until they can escape the memories of their loved one.


The chorus is a call to the loved one to take action and show their dedication. The phrase "lay me down in darkness" could represent the singer's desire to be vulnerable with their partner, to be able to let go and trust them completely. They want to be shown that they are the one that their partner loves and needs, thus providing them with the stability and security they need. This repeated plea is enhanced by the upbeat instrumentation, creating a sense of urgency and passion.


The second verse continues the theme of taking risks and embracing the chaos of life. The lyrics suggest that it is better to try and fail than to never try at all. Through all the ups and downs of life, the singer wants their loved one to stand by their side and face everything together. All of this culminates in the final chorus, which is an emphatic plea to be shown that they are the one. The line "show me baby baby tell me that's me" is a clear statement of the singer's desire for love and acceptance, expressed in a raw and honest manner.
