Quiet Houses Lyrics
Lay me down
Lay me down
Lay me down
Lay me down

Don't give in
Don't give in
Don't give in
Don't give in

Don't give in
Don't give in
Don't give in
Don't give in

Come to me
Come to me
Come to me
Come to me

Lay me down
Lay me down
Lay me down
Lay me down

Lay me down
Lay me down
Lay me down
Lay me down

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

My favorite song by them - absolutely beautiful. Amazingly simple lyrics but still very powerful. There's not much to work with as of meaning, but I can imagine it has something to do with someone special. "Lay me down" could be that he wants her to give him up, yet he still wants her by saying come to me, secretly wanting her to follow her own path ("Don't give in") despite what he wants. He is struggling with the sacrifice of letting her go. At least that's what I get out of these three lines.

Perhaps this song is about intimacy in abstinence? 'Lay me down' vs. 'Don't give in'? I don't know.

I don't know what this song means, but the harmonies just slay me every time! So beautiful! They sound like an angel choir! Does anyone else think the musical break at the end sounds like something from the Beach Boys (maybe Pet Sounds era)?

It's actually "darkening", not "don't give in". Skye confirmed it after their Cambridge gig in November. Is this going to blow peoples' minds regarding their translation, or just make it easier to decide on said translation?

Haha cdn42, it was actually someone questioning if "donkey man" was the lyric that prompted Skye to confirm it was "darkening". So nope - not the only one! :)

I kept hearing "Donkey Land", that's what brought me here. "Darkening" is much cooler. *lol*
