Play Dead
Tom Walker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause darlin' you're the only one
Can you and I go somewhere?
Go somewhere we can be alone
Lying like John and Yoko
Or fake our deaths and leave
Am I tripping, are you with me?
'Cause darlin' you're the only one
The world is going mad
You and I can hide away
I can't stand the TV screen
Turn it off, pull the plug
They can try, they won't find us
Slow down your heartbeat
Close your eyes and don't speak
Lay with my body
Play dead, play dead with me
No need to escape
We can find our own way
You got me hiding in cupboards
Play dead, play dead with me
We'll stuck up in some rashes
So we don't have to leave this room
I'm dead, don't care what happens
As long as I'm in here with you
'Cause the world is going mad
You and I should hide away
I can't stand the TV screen
Turn it off, pull the plug
They can try, they won't find us
Slow down your heartbeat
Close your eyes and don't speak
Lay with my body
Play dead, play dead with me
No need to escape
We can find our own way
You got me hiding in cupboards
Play dead, play dead with me
You know that I was quiet
We'll walk outside into the show
We'll run a light in thousands
'Cause everybody else is growing old
So slow down your heartbeat
Close your eyes and don't speak
Lay with my body
Play dead
Slow down your heartbeat
Close your eyes and don't speak
Lay with my body
Play dead, play dead with me
No need to escape
We can find our own way
You got me hiding in cupboards
Play dead, play dead with me
Play dead with me
Play dead, play dead with me
The song "Play Dead" by Tom Walker is about escaping the chaos of the world with a loved one. The lyrics open with the singer addressing the person he is in love with, acknowledging how well they know each other. The singer then suggests they go somewhere to be alone, such as lying in bed together like John and Yoko or even faking their deaths. They want to hide away from the world and all its madness, turning off the TV and pulling the plug. The singer emphasizes that no matter what they do, they won't be found.
The tone of the song is haunting and desperate, as if the situation they are in is dire. However, the chorus brings a sense of intimacy and tenderness to the relationship. The singer encourages his partner to slow down their heartbeat, close their eyes, and play dead with him. They don't need to escape; they can find their own way. They are hiding from the rest of the world but they are happy just being together.
The lyrics of the song suggest a fear of growing old or becoming stale, as the singer mentions running a light in thousands because everybody else is growing old. The song is about treasuring the moments shared with a loved one and finding refuge in each other's company. It's a song about wanting to escape from the craziness of the world and just be with someone special.

You know the way my blood runs
You know me so well, my love
'Cause darlin' you're the only one
Because you are the only one I love
Can you and I go somewhere?
Can we escape the chaos of the world?
Go somewhere we can be alone
Go somewhere where it's just us
Lying like John and Yoko
Spending quality time together like John Lennon and Yoko Ono
Or fake our deaths and leave
Or disappear from the rest of the world
Am I tripping, are you with me?
Am I the only one feeling this way or are you feeling it too?
'Cause darlin' you're the only one
Because you are the only one I love
The world is going mad
The world is getting crazier by the day
You and I can hide away
We should hide from the world
I can't stand the TV screen
I am tired of watching the news
Turn it off, pull the plug
Let's turn it off completely
They can try, they won't find us
We will find a place where nobody can find us
Slow down your heartbeat
Relax and breathe slowly
Close your eyes and don't speak
Let's have some silence from the noise of the world
Lay with my body
Let's be close to each other
Play dead, play dead with me
Let's pretend like we're dead and forget the world
No need to escape
We don't have to escape to find peace
We can find our own way
We will make our own way to find happiness
You got me hiding in cupboards
You make me feel like we should hide from the rest of the world
You know that I was quiet
You know that I am not a talkative person
We'll walk outside into the show
We will go outside and see the world, but from a distance
We'll run a light in thousands
We will shine like stars in the darkness
'Cause everybody else is growing old
Because everyone else is getting old and has forgotten how to enjoy their life
Play dead with me
Be with me and forget the world
Play dead, play dead with me
Let's pretend like we're dead and forget the world
