Lullaby Lyrics

Cover art for Lullaby lyrics by Low

I know not every song is about relationships, but at the point in my life when this song resonated with me most, that's exactly how I felt this one.

The first verse was like settling/acceptance for the situation I was in... Mourning a relationship I wasn't ready to lose.

(Cross over and turn) Accepting that life has to go on to the next chapter.

(Feel the spot, don't let it burn) Allow the feelings that come with this to happen, but don't let it destroy you.

(We all want, we all yearn) Precisely that...

(Lullaby was not supposed to make you cry) This line kills me every time. I hear it as an unspoken understanding from the person I lost. The 'lullaby' is all the good moments/memories. While the moments played out, they were sincerely well-intentioned. They were never meant to become painful memories.

(I sang the words I meant...I sang...) A reaffirmation of the previous sentiment.
