Lay It Down
Unveiling Betrayal: Lay It Down by Peter Bjorn and John
Lyrics
Hey, shut the fuck up boy
Expressing frustration with a male individual
You are starting to piss me off
Emphasizing irritation and annoyance
Take your hands off that girl
Warning someone to stop touching a girl
You have already had enough
Indicating that the person has exceeded acceptable behavior
Hey, shut the fuck up boy
Reiteration of frustration towards the same individual
You are starting to piss me off
Reemphasizing growing irritation
Take your hands off that girl
Repeating the warning to stop touching the girl
You have already had enough
Reiterating that the person has had enough
You sure can get it up
Suggesting the person's ability in a sexual context
At least that's what you say
Questioning the person's credibility or honesty
You don't know how to stop
Implying a lack of self-control
You just can't walk away
Highlighting difficulty in walking away from a situation
And when we saw her face
Referring to a shared experience of seeing a girl
You said she's something else
Attributing a special quality to the girl
I know you just can't wait
Expressing impatience or anticipation
It's more than I can take
Feeling overwhelmed by the situation
You just can't play it down [Repeat: x2]
Stating the difficulty of downplaying a situation
You just gotta lay it down
Advocating for honesty or transparency
Hey, shut the fuck up boy
Repetition of frustration towards the same individual
You are starting to piss me off
Reiterating irritation and annoyance
Take your hands off that girl
Repeating the warning to stop touching the girl
You have already had enough
Emphasizing that the person has exceeded acceptable behavior
Hey, shut the fuck up boy
Reiteration of frustration towards the same individual
You are starting to piss me off
Reemphasizing growing irritation
Take your hands off that girl
Repeating the warning to stop touching the girl
You have already had enough
Reiterating that the person has had enough
It's getting hard to see
Describing a challenging situation or relationship
Through all our history
Reflecting on the difficulties in understanding their shared history
I guess it's in your blood
Speculating that certain behaviors are inherent
On that we can agree
Finding common ground or agreement on a particular trait
And when we saw her face
Referring to a shared experience of seeing a girl
I said she's something else
Attributing a special quality to the girl
She was your only hope
Indicating that the girl was someone's last hope
And still you let her down
Expressing disappointment in letting the girl down
You just can't play it down [Repeat: x2]
Stating the difficulty of downplaying a situation
You're just gonna let her down
Anticipating that the person will disappoint or let down the girl
Hey, shut the fuck up boy
Repetition of frustration towards the same individual
You are starting to piss me off
Reiterating irritation and annoyance
Take your hands off that girl
Repeating the warning to stop touching the girl
You have already had enough
Emphasizing that the person has exceeded acceptable behavior
Hey, shut the fuck up boy
Reiteration of frustration towards the same individual
You are starting to piss me off
Reemphasizing growing irritation
Take your hands off that girl
Repeating the warning to stop touching the girl
You have already had enough
Reiterating that the person has had enough
Hey, shut the fuck up boy
Repetition of frustration towards the same individual
You are starting to piss me off
Reiterating irritation and annoyance
Take your hands off that girl
Repeating the warning to stop touching the girl
You have already had enough
Emphasizing that the person has exceeded acceptable behavior
