Lay me Down
Renee Lyrics

I was born on the other side
I always felt different or disconnected from others.

Just always looking to you
I've been searching for guidance or support, possibly from a specific person.

I made it over the great divide
I overcame a significant obstacle or challenge.

Now I'm coming for you
I'm ready to face and overcome whatever is holding me back.

Your forces lined up in battle
There are obstacles or opposition to be faced.

Your soldiers and your machines
These obstacles are formidable and threatening.

The sun been blacked out by shadows
It's a dark and difficult time.

The darkest hour now you've ever seen
It's the lowest point or most challenging situation yet.

And I'm easy and I'm serious
I may seem carefree or casual, but I'm also determined and focused.

They try and tear me down
Others try to hold me back or bring me down.

You want me baby I dare you
My confidence and determination challenge others to stand in my way.

I rose up on the doctor's slab
I overcame a significant health issue or near-death experience.

Like Lazarus from the pit
I experienced a miraculous recovery or rebirth.

And everyone wants to take a stab
Others try to attack or criticize me.

Decorate me with blood, graffiti and spit
The attacks or criticism are harsh and disrespectful.

I've been held up on money
Financial issues may have held me back at times.

I've been beaten out of spite
I've faced adversity or opposition from others out of sheer malice or envy.

You want a piece of me honey?
I challenge anyone who thinks they can bring me down.

Lose or win
I'm willing to take risks and face potential failure to achieve my goals.

You know you've been in a fight
The challenges or opposition have been rough and taxing.

On March 6th, 1836 the walls of the Alamo fell
A historical reference to a significant battle or victory.

To the Mexican army.
Continuation of the historical reference.

Everything from Texas is big
Another historical reference to the size and reputation of Texas.

So big his daddy called him Meat Loaf
A reference to the musician Meat Loaf, known for his larger-than-life voice and persona.

Now there ain't much difference
There's a thin line or similarity between seemingly opposing things.

Between a bridge and a wall
Even things that seem different or opposite can be interconnected or similar.

Without me right in the middle baby
I'm essential to the situation or problem at hand.

You'll be nothing at all
Without me or my contributions, everything will falter.

Try and tear me down
Reiterated challenge to anyone standing in my way.
