Lay Them Down
Embracing Redemption: Lay Them Down's Poignant Journey
Lyrics
Truth bent in a bottle with a glassy stare
Truth distorted within a bottle, accompanied by a vacant expression
Warping the picture of what was once there
Changing the perception of what once existed
The night floods thru my mind like ants defend their own
The night inundates my thoughts, analogous to ants fiercely protecting their nest
Eyes too tired to cry, cnd a heart that wonʼt let go
Eyes exhausted from tears, and a heart unwilling to release its grip
Chasing something you never find
Pursuing something elusive, a perpetual quest
Life can be troubled and love unkind
Life characterized by troubles, and love displaying unkindness
Our burdens our heavy yours and mind
Our individual burdens weigh heavily on both your and my shoulders
Let us lay them down, Let us lay them down
Let us collectively release and surrender them
Lay them down
A plea to lay down these burdens
Bittersweet elixir But I like the taste
An ambivalent potion, yet the taste is embraced
When I close my eyes, I see your face
In moments of closure, your visage materializes in my mind
Each piece of wood I threw on the flame
Each piece of wood added to the fire symbolizes a memory of you fading into the background
Was a memory of you turned to gray
Memories of you gradually losing vibrancy and becoming muted
Chasing something you never find
Continuing the pursuit of an unattainable something
Life can be troubled and love unkind
Life marked by challenges, and love displaying cruelty
Our burdens our heavy yours and mind
The burdens we bear are substantial, affecting both you and me
Let us lay them down, Let us lay them down
Advocating for a joint release and laying down of these burdens
Lay them down
An emphatic repetition of the plea to relinquish and lay down the burdens
