This was originally written by the late, brilliant Warren Zevon of "Werewolves of London" and "Lawyers, Guns and Money" fame. It's about that feeling of wanting to be left alone. I believe Zevon went through a depression at one point in his life, and actually holed up in his room for a long time, eventually writing this about the experience. We've all felt that way at some point in our lives...just wanting to "lie down in the dark to dream".
