In this poignant track, Priestess explores themes of loss and the finality of death through a mournful narrative. The repeated directive to "Lay down" symbolizes both surrender and acceptance as the speaker addresses a departed loved one. The imagery of a coffin reinforces the permanence of death, highlighting the emotional turmoil faced by those left behind. The refrain "I know I won't go" suggests a struggle with moving on and an acknowledgment of the inevitability that everyone must face their own end. Ultimately, the song delves into the depths of grief, loneliness, and the human condition's confrontation with mortality.
Lay Down
Lyrics
Lay down, sleep my little darling
I'll be nothing when you're gone
Lay down just like in a coffin
Then I'll have nothing but a song
Could I leave you in a coffin for real
And just leave you in a church
Lay down
Leave you'll be lonely
I know I won't go
Lay down
Sleep you'll be lonely
I know I won't go
It's not my turn
Lay down, this pain will be long gone
With the absence of your breath
I know that you loved me
But I can't love you when you're dead
So I'll leave you in that coffin for God
And I'll leave you in the dirt
Lay down
Leave you'll be lonely
I know I won't go
Lay down
Sleep you'll be lonely
I know I won't go
Lay down before me
I know I won't go
It's not my turn
