QUESTION

Hey

What does the expression ''to put the old horse down'' mean ??

It's taken from thix text :

I need some sleep.
You can’t go on like this.
I try counting sheep,
But there’s one I always miss.
Everyone says, "I’m getting down too low"
Everyone says, "You just gotta let it go"
You just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go
I need some sleep
time to put the old horse down
I’m in too deep
and the wheels keep spinning round
Everyone says, "I’m getting down too low"
Everyone says, "You just gotta let it go"
You just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go

From the context- may it mean "to finish with all of this"? (he is very tired with this love ...)

  Hi, perhaps in this context, "to put the old horse down", means someting like  "give something up".

Stop doing something with the purpose of resting physically and mentally.

Best wishes.
