Juliet Lyrics

Cover art for Juliet lyrics by Royal Wood

Royal Woods did a beautiful job of saying something beautiful in a simple way.

The meaning is so similar to "I will follow you into the dark" by death cab for cutie. He's saying to the woman he loves that she can follow him to the grave yard where his heart lies. And there no one can hurt them. If she wants, she'll be his one and they will drift asleep in a lovers pose.

In the second verse he says:

Follow me down to the kingdom around The edge of now where the tracks are Swallowed in weeds in the throws of those trees The throws of the trees where my soul lies

They're dead, but his soul is alive in the throws of the trees.

You can be my one if you wanna go You can be my Juliet then And we can drift asleep in a lover's pose But never close our eyes

They'll be together forever if she wants. They'll drift asleep in a lovers pose but never close their eyes.
