Pulling together the biblical sound and isolation of the bygone days of revelation with an atmosphere filled with hope and salvation, King Dude has woven his own brand of American music. He brandishes many varied influences in his songwriting. Everything from British Folk, Americana, Country and Blues can be heard in his songs. Even the heavier sounds of Heavy Metal tend to sneak and slither it's way into the King Dude canon. The resulting songs are much more of a modern day hymn then average pop song.
Lay Down in Bedlam
King Dude Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gave myself a hell of a fright
Couldn't stand the way that she held me tight
Didn't get no sleep at all
Moon had me up against the wall
Couldn't hear nothin' but her sirens call
The Moon will love me all night long
And now I understand the Lord's Almighty plan
Cause aint nothing on earth could make a man fall in love with the Moon
Since the day I turned 21
Didn't know what I would become
Until I turned my back on the sun
Then the night cast down her shroud
And when no one else was around
I felt her love come shining down
The Moon will love me all night long
Oh yeah that Moon will love me all night long
And now I understand the Lord's Almighty plan
Cause aint nothing on earth could make a man fall in love with the Moon
Every night I raise my head
As she lay down in my bed
Until the day that I am dead
And now I know where I can go
She picks me up when I am low
Aint no woman in the world could love me more
The Moon will love me all night long
Oh yeah that Moon will love me all night long
And now I understand the Lord's Almighty plan
Cause aint nothing on earth could make a man
Aint nothing on earth could make a man
Aint nothing on earth could make a man fall in love with the Moon

The song suggests a transcendental connection with nature and the divine. The singer's love for the Moon seems to symbolize a search for deeper meaning and understanding in life. The singer mentions turning his back on the sun and finding solace in the night, perhaps indicating a rejection of conventional religious beliefs in favor of a more personal spiritual journey.
