LAY DOWN
Machiavel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I work everyday, I share all my nights
I'm gonna tell you, tell you something
I've thought that true love would change my life
Don't ask me why
Don't ask me why
There's no love left in my eyes
Don't ask me why
There's only one thing on my mind
Lay down
Let me tell you, tell you something
I care 'bout your dreams, but I can't help mine
It's hard to leave, leave you alone
Love me one more time, goodbye
Don't ask me why
Don't ask me why
There's no love left in my eyes
Don't ask me why
Don't ask me why
There's only one thing on my mind
The lyrics to Machiavel's song Lay Down depict a person who is struggling with their emotions. They are working hard every day and sharing all their nights, but despite this, they feel like they have lost the ability to love. The person had previously believed that true love would change their life, but they are now unsure of what has caused them to feel this way. They urge the listener not to ask why there is no love left in their eyes, as there is only one thing on their mind - to "lay down". The person cares about the dreams of others, but they cannot help their own, and it is hard for them to leave their loved ones behind. They ask for one more chance to be loved before saying goodbye.
The song Lay Down is a reflection on how difficult it can be to navigate the emotions that come with love and relationships. The lyrics are open to interpretation, and they can be seen as a plea for help or a statement of surrender. The songwriters of Machiavel have done a great job of using simple words to convey complex emotions. This song is comforting to those who have been through difficult relationships and have struggled to make sense of their feelings.
