Weigh Me Down
Embrace the Weight of Love: Tommy Ashby's Soulful Journey
Lyrics
Weigh me down my love
Expresses a desire to be burdened or anchored by love.
Just weigh me down my love
Reiterates the request to be emotionally weighed down by love.
Put rocks in my shoes,
Metaphorically suggests adding difficulties or challenges.
Give me something to lose,
Asks for something valuable to be at risk or in danger.
Just weigh me down my love.
Repeatedly asks for the emotional burden of love.
I'll grow my hair too long
Intends to mark the passing of time through physical appearance.
To count the days I'm gone
Uses hair growth as a measure of absence or separation.
Grow it down past my toes,
Describes an extreme length of hair as a symbol of longing.
'til it drags in the road,
Illustrates a willingness to endure hardship or struggle.
I'll grow my hair too long.
Reaffirms the connection between hair and absence.
Weigh me down my love
Repeats the desire for the emotional weight of love.
Just weigh me down my love
Reemphasizes the longing for emotional depth in love.
Put rocks in my shoes,
Reiterates the idea of introducing challenges or difficulties.
Give me something to lose,
Asks for something significant to risk or sacrifice.
Just weigh me down my love.
Insists on being deeply affected by love.
Talk to me real slow,
Requests for communication to be deliberate and deliberate.
Talk to me real low,
Asks for conversation at a slow and intimate level.
Then lead me on home
Uses imagery to depict guiding back to a place of belonging.
Like a dog with a bone,
Compares being guided home to a loyal and directed animal.
Talk to me real slow.
Reiterates the request for deliberate and careful communication.
Weigh me down my love
Repeats the desire for the emotional weight of love.
Just weigh me down my love
Reiterates the longing for deep emotional connection.
Put rocks in my shoes,
Symbolizes adding difficulty or hardship metaphorically.
Give me something to lose,
Wants something valuable to be at stake.
Just weigh me down my love.
Reiterates the desire to be emotionally impacted by love.
Weigh me down my love
Repeats the longing to be emotionally anchored by love.
Just weigh me down my love
Reiterates the plea for emotional depth in love.
Put rocks in my shoes,
Metaphorically asks for additional challenges or burdens.
Give me something to lose,
Asks for something valuable to be put at risk.
Just weigh me down my love.
Concludes the repetition of longing for deep emotional connection.
