LAY DOWN
SUMif Lyrics

Oh lay down won't you take me down to the places inside your head
The singer metaphorically wants the listener to take them to the mind's eye and expose their innermost thoughts.

Oh lay down won't you take me down to the wildwood flower bed
The singer wants the listener to take them to a peaceful, natural setting to escape their problems.

l could write thousand words
The singer believes they have a lot to say about their emotions and experiences.

The master piece would make me hurt
The artist's creative expression may cause them emotional pain.

Singing to you with the birds
The artist expresses their emotions through song and nature.

You don't hear me
The singer feels ignored or unheard by the listener.

I'm the dreamer you're the dream
The singer sees themselves as an idealist and the listener as their desire.

But you keep me on my knees
The listener remains unattainable, putting the artist in a submissive position.

You and me stay in between
The relationship between the artist and listener is stagnant and undefined.

You don't see me
The listener is blind to the artist's emotions and desires.

Coldest stay in desert
The extreme loneliness and harshness of the singer's emotional state is compared to a desert.

Tee-Pee on the dark earth
The artist seeks refuge from their pain in a makeshift shelter symbolizing their isolation.

I've been thinking lately
The singer has been contemplative and reflective recently.

There must be someone out there, Out there
The singer believes there is someone else who understands them and their experiences.

Tell me that you don't hear me
The singer wants the listener to confirm that they are not being listened to or understood.

I'm running around, I'm running around and maybe I don't wanna be found
The artist is lost and confused, but may not actually want to be found or helped.

Lay down won't you take me down to the places inside your head
The artist repeats their desire for the listener to show them their inner thoughts and feelings.

I could sing for days about; Life and lost and love and doubt
The singer could express themselves through song about themes of life, loss, love, and uncertainty for an extended period of time.

Do your best to tune me out
The singer is aware that the listener is trying to ignore or distance themselves from their emotions.

Pretend like you can't hear me shout
The artist feels like they are screaming out their emotions but the listener is pretending not to hear them.

Stare up to the brightest stars, You won't see them
The listener cannot see the beauty or potential of the artist's thoughts and feelings.

(Your head)
The artist repeats their desire to see inside the listener's mind.
