Lay Me Down
Tiësto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been combing every street.
I've been searching for the reason within reasons,
Been searching for the higher ground in me.
And I've been trying to surrender,
To trust in every word.
All my days of misery,
Someone could have taken them from me.
So tell me where you are,
Tell me how you feel.
Tell me what you need,
Just tell me how you feel.
And let it all just rain on me,
Let it all just rain on me,
Let it all just rain on me....
Rain down on me.
If only for a day,
Oh if only for one night,
I could tell you this is everything that i have ever lived for,
But I'd be giving it all away.
So look into these eyes,
And tell me how you feel.
All my days of misery, someone could have taken them from me.
So tell me where you are,
Tell me how you feel.
Tell me what you need,
Just tell me how you feel.
And let it all just rain on me,
Let it all just rain on me,
Let it all just rain on me...
Rain down on me
So tell me where you are,
Tell me how you feel.
Tell me what you need,
Just tell me how you feel.
And let it all just rain on me,
Let it all just rain on me,
Let it all just rain on me...
Rain down on me
Let it all just rain on me
So tell me where you are,
Tell me how you feel.
Tell me what you need,
Just tell me how you feel.
And let it all just rain on me,
Let it all just rain on me,
Let it all just rain on me...
Rain down on me
The lyrics of Tiesto feat Kane's song "Rain Down on Me" express an individual's search for inner truth through the journey of self-discovery. The persona in the lyrics portrays a sense of unease and restlessness, represented in the first verse's lines, "I've been running through this town, I've been combing every street." The lyrics illustrate the inner conflict that an individual faces and their insatiable hunger to understand themselves better. The persona seeks a higher ground within themselves, a place of peace, and a sense of belonging in their world of chaos.
The song's chorus, "So tell me where you are, Tell me how you feel, tell me what you need, just tell me how you feel. And let it all just rain on me," indicates the persona's willingness to submit and seek solace in the hands of another, someone they can trust. The song lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and desire to be understood, "All my days of misery, someone could have taken them from me."
The song's message encourages individuals to surrender their insecurities, fears, and doubts, and trust that there is someone who will understand and provide the guidance they need. Tiesto feat Kane's "Rain Down on Me" invokes a sense of catharsis and healing that accompanies the journey of self-discovery.
