Lay Down
Of a Revolution (O.A.R) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There was a time now it's far away
I didn't know you, but I knew your name
We would talk, I got nothing to say
But hear me now
You're like an angel that is just for me
Bless your heart, let your mind go free
And it's too loud on the Earth today
So let's go home and lay down

And rest here in my arms
Now lay down
Lay down
The universe is ours, lay down
Lay down, lay down

Catch a teardrop, bleed the heart
Masquerade in a world apart
From a mass I got more to lose
I'm making a run
So blessed angel that is just for me
Catch a dream, there's a lot to see
But it's too loud on the Earth today
So let's go home and lay down

And rest here in my arms
Now lay down
Lay down
The universe is ours, lay down
Lay down, lay down

I never seen nobody move the way you do
Rocking steady and you know it too
You had to come down from heaven above
And tease the world
So listen good, cause I'm telling it straight
I don't got no more time to waste
I got a trip planned past the sun
Taking you home

Yeah, oh

To lay down
And rest here in my arms
Now lay down
Lay down, the universe is ours
Lay down, lay down, lay down

Oh, now I see
I bought a planet for you
I planned it for you my dear
There's no one above you
I purchased a room with a view
So we could fly away to outer space
We'll be alone just us two
And you know it's all for you
It's all for you
It's all for you
It's all for you
It's all for you

Oh, lay down
Mmm, lay down
Oh, lay down




Lay down
Oh, lay down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Lay Down" by O.A.R. describe a relationship with someone that was initially distant, but has now become closer over time. The singer sings about how this person has become like an angel just for them, and they want to escape the chaos of the world together and lay down in each other's arms. The universe is theirs to explore, and they have even purchased a planet for their love to share. The lyrics convey a sense of romantic love and the desire to escape the world and all its troubles with someone special.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the theme of laying down and being close to someone. The singer urges their love interest to lay down in their arms and rest. The universe is a big and chaotic place, but when they are together, they can find peace and happiness.

The second verse of the song includes references to catch a tear drop and bleeding heart, and masquerading in a world apart.

However, they have found solace in this new relationship, and they want to share their happiness with their love.


Line by Line Meaning

There was a time now it's far away
In the past, there was a moment that is now long gone


I didn't know you, but I knew your name
Despite not having met before, I was familiar with your name


We would talk, I got nothing to say
Despite conversations, I struggled to come up with anything worthwhile to say


But hear me now
Pay attention to me in this moment


You're like an angel that is just for me
You are a special and divine presence meant solely for me


Bless your heart, let your mind go free
May your heart be pure, and your thoughts unencumbered


And it's too loud on the Earth today
The noise and chaos of the world is overwhelming


So let's go home and lay down
Let's retreat to a quiet, peaceful place where we can rest


And rest here in my arms
Find comfort and safety in my embrace


Catch a teardrop, bleed the heart
Feel emotions deeply and without reservation


Masquerade in a world apart
Put on a façade and pretend to be someone else in a different world


From a mass I got more to lose
As an individual, I have much more to lose than as part of a group


I'm making a run
I'm making a break from the norm


Catch a dream, there's a lot to see
Pursue your aspirations and explore life's possibilities


I never seen nobody move the way you do
I've never witnessed someone move in the manner that you do


Rocking steady and you know it too
You maintain a strong, stable presence and are aware of it


You had to come down from heaven above
You are so special and otherworldly that you must have descended from heaven itself


And tease the world
You delight in teasing and taunting the world


So listen good, cause I'm telling it straight
Pay close attention, as I speak the truth plainly


I don't got no more time to waste
I don't have any more time to squander


I got a trip planned past the sun
I have a journey planned that will take us beyond the sun


Taking you home
Taking you to a place that feels like home


Oh, now I see
I have gained new insight and understanding


I bought a planet for you
I have purchased a planet for you as a gift


I planned it for you my dear
I tailored this planet just for you, my love


There's no one above you
You are incomparable and beyond compare


I purchased a room with a view
I have procured a room with a gorgeous view as part of your gift


So we could fly away to outer space
We can escape to the vastness of outer space


We'll be alone just us two
We'll have each other's company and no one else's


And you know it's all for you
All of it is for your sake and happiness


Lay down
Relax and let go


The universe is ours
We own and control the universe

Christopher Grisib

It was exclusive to the MLB 2006 soundtrack on Playstation 2. I had to hook up my PS2 to my computer and use a sound recording program to create an MP3 of it. As far as I know there is no other posted file of it on any peer to peer network, let alone anywhere else.
