The Turn Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't look so sad
I know it's over
But life goes on
And this old world will keep on turning
Let's just be glad
We had some time to spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges
That were burning

Lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body
Close to mine
Hear the whisper of the rain drops
Blowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me
One more time
For the good times

I'll get along
You'll find another
And I'll be here
If you should find you ever need me
Don't say a word about tomorrow
Or forever
There'll be time enough for sadness
When you leave me

Lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body
Close to mine
Hear the whisper of the rain drops
Blowing soft against the window

And make believe you love me
One more time

Overall Meaning

The Turn's song "Alright" speaks about two people who are coming to terms with the end of their relationship. While one may be feeling sad and overwhelmed by the situation, the other attempts to comfort them and assure them that life goes on. In the midst of these emotions, the chorus suggests that both parties should take comfort in the memories they shared and appreciate the time they had together.

The second verse acknowledges that, even though the relationship is over, it can be difficult to let go of the physical and emotional connection to the other person. The imagery of the raindrops against the window creates a somber atmosphere, but also suggests that it's okay to indulge in the moment and "make believe" that their love is still present.

The final verse is a gentle reminder that they will both move on and find happiness again, but that it's important to not dwell on the future or the past. Instead, they should appreciate each day for what it is and not worry about the bridge that has already been burned. Ultimately, the song conveys a message of acceptance and finding peace in the midst of heartbreak.

Don't look so sad
Please don't express your sadness

I know it's over
I understand that our time together has come to an end

But life goes on
However, life continues regardless of our situation

And this old world will keep on turning
The world will keep spinning and time will keep moving forward

Let's just be glad
Let's cherish the good times we shared

We had some time to spend together
We were fortunate to have spent some time together

There's no need to watch the bridges
There isn't any point in dwelling on things that cannot be changed

That were burning
That have already been destroyed

Lay your head upon my pillow
Rest your head on my pillow

Hold your warm and tender body
Embrace your soft and gentle body
