På ”Forces of Nature” tar Comet Kid opp igjen tråden der de slapp den med ”Roots”-skiva, og byr på mer skjeggete, rootsy rock og sjelfull pop, denne gangen elegant innpakket i Athletic Sound i Halden. Skiva er produsert av Comet Kid og Kai Andersen, og dessuten mikset og mastret i Abbey Road Studios, høsten 2014.
30. januar slapp Comet Kid første singel fra albumet, nemlig ”Sweet Love”, og Oslo Sessions har gjort en liveinnspilling som kan sees her: http://www.oslosessions.com/
Konsertattraksjonen Comet Kid fylte John Dee i Oslo ved forrige plateslipp og tar denne gangen steget opp til Rockefeller hvor de feirer albumslipp 20. Februar. Deretter legger bandet ut på Norgesturné, og det ryktes allerede om utsolgte konserter!
Lay me Down
Comet Kid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll see you again
When the dawn is breaking
We'll see the sun is shaking
Life in all of us
Let me get you a drink
This night we'll be out
See how free our mind gets
I'll bring you back to my place
Now you're screaming out loud
I'll say I'm not proud
Cause I've been fucking crazy
I said you were my baby
I took you for a fool
Lay down your sword
Hold off your tears
Lay it down
Lay me down
You said you don't like my mess
But I must confess
I'm way over "love you"
It's more like I need you
To save me from this hell
You looked at me with those bright blue eyes
Said you couldn't save me
I never sailed the calm sea
In this storm I'll always be
Lay down your sword
Hold off your tears
Lay it down
Lay me down
And I know
that all my life I've been chasing this
this feeling you couldn't give to me
I need it to survive
And I feel
this empty hole that I have inside
is filling slowly up
with stuff that makes me die
And I feel
that all my love is so obvious
before I see it, it's all too late
to get me on your mind
The first verse of "Lay Me Down" by Comet Kid highlights the memories and strong bonding between two friends who share a deep connection. The singer describes how they have been each other's best friend and how they would meet again at the break of dawn. The lyrics suggest that they have spent the night partying and dancing, enjoying each other's company without a care in the world. The lines "We'll see the sun is shaking/Life in all of us" could mean that they are experiencing a moment of pure joy and living life to the fullest.
The second verse of the song takes a somber turn, with the singer confessing to their friend that they have been acting impulsively and recklessly. The lines "Cause I've been fucking crazy/I said you were my baby" suggest that the singer has been putting their friend in a difficult situation, taking advantage of their kindness and trust. The line "I took you for a fool" implies that the singer has been manipulating and lying to their friend. However, despite all that, the singer asks their friend to hold back tears and lay down their sword.
The chorus of the song repeats the lines "Lay down your sword/Hold off your tears/Lay it down/Lay me down," which could be interpreted in various ways. It could mean that the singer wants their friend to forgive them and let go of their anger or disappointment. It could also mean that the singer wants their friend to lay down their burdens and let themselves rest. The singer appears to be searching for salvation from their own demons and feels that their friend is the only one who can help.
