Help??? What does this mean?? (Sway Analysis)

(1/3) > >>

maira:
I'm doing an analysis on one of vanessa's songs. Sway. I need help explainig what these lines mean.  

"Come down heavy, try and steady
Precious ladies, love you, love me"

"Hold my head up to the lies that you feed me
I'll fall under the spell you cast as you let me down"

I have no idea what the first one means but for the second one i am thinking that she keeps falling into the false promises of the guy but i am not sure if that's what it really means.

feishien:
The first one always confuses me, but for the second one, I'm pretty sure it's how she always believes the lies that the guy tells her, and doesn't realise until it's too late, and he always lets her down.

PianoGirl4444:
That first line has always bothered me 'cause I wish I knew what it meant too...but one day I thought I figured it out - think of it like this:

Precious ladies love you.  Love ME!!

(Love me, instead of those other girls!)

I don't know, that is my best guess.

As for "Come down heavy," I'd say that's like "coming down from that cloud."  Unfortunately, she can't keep dreaming about this guy...

NoelleNC:
^ I think that interpretation is right. I always liked that line, clever =D

portions.for.foxes:
When I first heard "Precious ladies, love you, love me." I was like, "Huh? What? VANESSA'S SINGING ABOUT GIRLS LOVING HER." But then I came to my senses and came to understand it the way PianoGirl4444 does.
