Low Lyrics
Mercy me and mercy you
I've stained your dress and bruised you too
I pledged a million sorry eyes
Stumbling, undignified
All the cards came crashing down
Spin the wheels to leave the crown
Mercy you and mercy me
You're still in love in spite of me
There's comfort in the rushing wind
The silence, God, is deafening
But I've forgotten how to feel
It's easier to fake it
So calling all the born agains
I need your tears and sweet amends
Mercy out and mercy in
I hope that I can make it
Low, low, carry me low
Low, low, carry me low
So flicker through like radio
You never know, you never know
My promises are paper thin
Swallow up your joy
So calling all the born agains
I need your tears and sweet amends
Mercy out and mercy in
I hope that I can make it
Low, low, carry me low
Low, low, carry me low
Low, low, carry me low
Low, low, carry me low
I've stained your dress and bruised you too
I pledged a million sorry eyes
Stumbling, undignified
Spin the wheels to leave the crown
Mercy you and mercy me
You're still in love in spite of me
The silence, God, is deafening
But I've forgotten how to feel
It's easier to fake it
I need your tears and sweet amends
Mercy out and mercy in
I hope that I can make it
Low, low, carry me low
You never know, you never know
My promises are paper thin
Swallow up your joy
I need your tears and sweet amends
Mercy out and mercy in
I hope that I can make it
Low, low, carry me low
Low, low, carry me low
Low, low, carry me low

Hey hey I got this songs comment virginity lol! I love this song so much, probably one of my fav Duke songs. Its just that accent makes my tummy go funny every single time lol! Anyway, the meaning. I kinda get from it, that its a sort of self depreciating song. Personally, I fell that he has done wrong to the one he loves, possible domestic violence???
Stained your dress, and bruised you too?
But he has done this while drunk:
Stumbling undignified
He is trying to make amends but he knows he will just get drunk again and do it all again tomorrow:
My promises are paper thin Swallow up your joy
So hes saying to carry him low cos thats all he's worth cos this person loves him no matter what he does to them. And maybe he feels like hes exploiting them?? I dont know. Sorry such a waffle monster when i get going :)
