Put Me Down Lyrics
Let me take you by the hand
Away from here,
To another land.
Oh, this land in which we live
Where people love and are meant to forgive.
And you always put me wrong,
'Cause you're always putting me down.
I can't take this anymore,
I decided to leave,
Walked out through the door.
Oh, and why do you think I go?
Because you know it can never be so.
And you always put me wrong,
'Cause you're always putting me down.
So let me take you by the hand
Away from here,
To another land.
Oh, this land in which we live
Where people love and are meant to forgive.
And you always put me wrong,
'Cause you're always putting me down.
Simply incredible song! Haunting, breathy vocals just sends a chill up your spine. I think it's about two people in love, but the guy doesn't quite treat her right. She keeps trying to forgive him for the way he treats her, and they both still love each other, but they both know it could never work because they don't get along.
I think that the first section of this song really sets up the whole meaning,about how she wants to take him to another land where people love and are meant to forgive because she wishes she couldn't let him hurt her because he's always putting her down and she's sick of it and hopes she could forgive him in that land but she left because he never would stop and she gave up on him.This is a really pretty song and Dolores voice is nice as always.
this song is so beautiful.
Absolutely fantastic song - the wordless vocals are just stunning - right up there with "Dreams." It's much sadder than "Dreams," but that's not a bad thing. It's an excellent end for the album. In fact, all the albums other than "Wake up and smell the coffee" end with beautiful, sad songs. Not that I mind "Africa," but it doesn't follow the trend of being sad.
i agree. like their No Need to Argue album ends beautifully.

@didiercollard It's not Africa but Cape town. And isn't it some kind of a bonus track? Wich would mean that the actual end of the album is Chocolate Brown. Another beautiful sad song.

Ah these lyrics are wrong! It's "And you always prove me wrong" not "prove me wrong". Favorite song by them, it's breathtaking.
This song is the voices of person recently liberated from an unhealthy relationship. I think her voice sounds so free and triumphant in this song, especially during the non lyrical vocal parts. I think the first part is the ideal that both friends/lovers are striving for supposedly except its not working because the other person is manipulative and will be mean and cruel at times and loving and wonderful other times (the fantasy ideal described at the beginning of the first verse). The Jekyl and Hyde scenario. She finally realized she was done and walked away.
