Nuances

Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize

I really like the way the use of “down” shifts meaning with each lyric, it adds a subtle nuance. I tried something similar here:

How much is the trust of a girl worth?
How much is the worth of this girl to you?
Why do I still ask these questions
I’ve stopped expecting answers to
To questions I never asked
To questions I should’ve asked
I’ve never been the questioning kind
