Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh lay down your arms and love me peacefully. Yea.
Use your arms for squezing and please I'm the one that loves you so.
Oh there ain't no reason for you to declare war on the one who loves you so.
So forget the other boys because my love is real.
Come off
Yeah lay down your arms and love me peacefully. Yeah.
Use your arms to squeze and please cause that's the way it has to be.
The weapons you're using are hurting me bad.
But someday you're going to retreat.
Cause my love baby is the truest you've ever had.
I'm a soldier of love that's hard to beat.
Lay down your arms and surrender to me.
Lay down your arms and love me peacefully. Yea.
Use your arms to hold me tight. Baby I don't wanna fight no more.
Use your arms to hold me tight. Baby I don't wanna fight no more.
Oh baby, lay down your arms.
Oh baby, lay down your arms.
Oh baby, lay down your arms.
Oh baby, lay down your arms.
Oh baby, lay down your arms.
Oh baby, lay down your arms.
Oh baby, lay down your arms.
Please baby lay down your arms.
The lyrics of Pearl Jam's song "Soldier of Love" seem to be a plea for peace and a call for surrender. The singer asks their lover to lay down their arms and love them peacefully, rather than continue to fight and hurt them. They declare that their love is real and true, and there is no reason for war between them. Instead, they ask their lover to use their arms to hold and squeeze them, emphasizing the physical intimacy that can be found in surrendering to love.
The repeated refrain of "lay down your arms" reinforces the theme of surrender, both in a literal sense of putting down weapons, and in a metaphorical sense of letting go of anger or defensiveness. The singer acknowledges that the weapons their lover is using are hurting them, but they remain steadfast in their love and belief that their lover will eventually retreat from their aggressive stance. The final lines "please baby lay down your arms" sound like a desperate plea, hoping that their lover will finally listen and choose love over war.
Overall, the song seems to be using war and soldier metaphors to illustrate the struggle of relationships, and the importance of choosing love over pride or aggression. It is a powerful message of vulnerability and hope, urging listeners to consider how they can lay down their own arms and make peace in their own lives.
