Lay You Down
Nina Kraljic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'd be out somewhere and I'm right here
All this time waiting for chance
When there's nothing to gain
Oh, all of my hopes were in vain
Oh, I'm on my own
When I lay us down, lay us down
When I lay us down to sleep
I should have known better my love
Save our hearts or what's left thereof
From this dark endeavor or chose
What's worth to lose
Ah, all of your games
All the ruse
Oh, I'm on my own
When I lay us down, lay us down
Oh I'm on my own
When I lay us down to sleep
Oh, I'm on my own
When I lay us down, lay us down
Oh I'm on my own
When I lay us down to sleep
You only seem stronger than me
I'm figthing for this love for many years
And I love you even more than before
Tell me how could that be when you act so cold
Oh, I'm on my own
When I lay us down, lay us down
Oh I'm on my own
When I lay us down to sleep
You lay us down, you lay us down
You lay us down to sleep
You lay us down, you lay us down
You lay us down to sleep.
The song "Lay You Down" by Nina Kraljic appears to be about a love that is coming to an end. The lyrics describe the singer's disappointment and feeling of being alone in the relationship. The singer knows she should have realized her partner was never going to change but held onto hope anyway. She's now left with nothing to gain except for her realization of the situation. The lyrics suggest a final sleep, as if the singer is ready to let go of the love they shared, saying "when I lay us down to sleep." There seems to be a sense of resignation mixed with melancholy, as the singer feels like they are on their own in this journey.
The song's chorus, "Oh, I'm on my own when I lay us down, lay us down" is a powerful message, as it conveys the sense that the singer has come to terms with the reality of her situation. The lyrics indicate that love is not meant to be and that it is time to say goodbye. The singer sounds like she is ready to move on and find happiness on her own.
