Lay Down This Curse
Unveiling Love's Turmoil: Lay Down This Curse by Peter Bruntnell
Lyrics
Drowning away regrets the play still lies up ahead
Drowning away regrets, anticipating the unfolding drama in the future.
Darling you couldn't move me less but take these words away and give me a rest
Expressing indifference to emotional impact; seeking relief from burdensome words.
Lay down this curse
Repeated plea to be freed from a metaphorical curse being laid upon the speaker.
Lay down this curse
-Lay down this curse on me
-Clouds may drift and cover up the sun
Metaphor for challenges; attributing blame to a specific person.
But how come you're the one I blame
Questioning the connection between blame and the influence of the person.
Your stealing love from everyone you meet
Accusing the person of taking love from others.
And when I see you on the street it's not enough
Expressing dissatisfaction with the person's presence on the street.
Lay down this curse
Repetition of the plea to be released from the perceived curse.
Lay down this curse
-Lay down this curse on me
-Lay down this curse
Continued repetition of the plea for liberation from the curse.
Lay down this curse
-Lay down this curse on me
-Caught in the rain but I could stay we should go inside and cover up
Desire to seek shelter from external challenges, using rain as a metaphor.
A drunken promise is easier to keep as long as we don't ever sober up
Highlighting the ease of keeping promises under the influence of alcohol.
Lay down this curse
Restating the request to be relieved from the curse.
Lay down this curse
-Lay down this curse on me
-Lay down this curse
Final repetition of the plea to lay down the curse.
Lay down this curse
-Lay down this curse on me
