Tumbling Down
Love's Fading Canvas: Unveiling the Melancholy Masterpiece in Allison Moorer's 'Tumbling Down'
Lyrics
What happened to the world we painted
Reflecting on the changes in the world they envisioned together.
The masterpiece of me and you
Describing the relationship as a joint masterpiece between the speaker and their partner.
Our work of art has all but faded
Expressing that their once beautiful creation has lost its vibrancy and significance.
Nothing's here except the blues
Noting the absence of anything meaningful, leaving only a sense of sadness (blues).
Love's crumbling, love's tumbling down
Describing the state of love as collapsing and falling apart.
Love's crumbling, love's tumbling down
Reiterating the theme of love deteriorating and crumbling.
It was a stroke of genius
Acknowledging that the initial idea or creation was brilliant.
Yeah just as pretty as you please
Highlighting the aesthetic appeal of the relationship.
But all that's left between us
Indicating that what remains between them is connected to the past.
Is hanging on what used to be
Stating that their connection is now reliant on past experiences.
Love's crumbling, love's tumbling down
Repeating the idea of love falling apart.
Love's crumbling, love's tumbling down
Emphasizing the ongoing process of love's deterioration.
Looking at it from a distance
Observing the situation from a distance, possibly with a sense of detachment.
I still can't believe my eyes
Expressing disbelief at the current state of their relationship.
It's sad to have to witness
Conveying sadness at having to witness the decline of what they once created together.
What we made on all those nights
Referring to the memories and experiences shared during their time together.
Crumbling down, tumbling down
Summarizing the collapse of love with the imagery of something falling apart.
Love's crumbling, love's tumbling down
Repeating the theme of love disintegrating.
Love's crumbling, love's tumbling down
Continuing to emphasize the ongoing process of love's deterioration.
Love's crumbling, love's tumbling down
Reiterating the idea of love crumbling and tumbling down.
Love's crumbling, love's tumbling down
Concluding with the repeated image of love collapsing and falling apart.
