I Fell Away
A Celestial Fall: Battling Regret and Redemption in 'I Fell Away'
Lyrics
Did you see me falling down from Heaven
Reflecting on a metaphorical fall from grace or innocence.
Breaking every bone I have
Enduring severe hardships or challenges.
So I tried to touch the sun
Attempting something ambitious or unattainable.
I had another fall
Experiencing another failure or setback.
You can do the math
Suggesting a logical or numerical analysis of the situation.
I was wrong is what they'll say
Acknowledging personal wrongdoing or mistakes.
I watched their smiles fade away
Witnessing the disappointment or disapproval of others.
I watched their black and white turn gray
Observing the loss of clarity or certainty in others' perspectives.
Their picture-perfect worlds decay today
Noting the decay of seemingly perfect worlds or situations.
Today I fell to Earth again, again
Repeating the experience of a fall or failure.
I guess I failed You
Expressing a sense of disappointment in oneself.
I guess I cannot win
Feeling unable to achieve success or meet expectations.
Today, today
Reiterating the experience of falling away or failing.
I fell away
Emphasizing the personal sense of falling or failure.
I fell away
Repeating the acknowledgment of falling away.
Did you see me falling down from Heaven
Recalling the initial metaphorical fall from grace.
Trailing wings of melted wax
Describing a fall with imagery of melting wings.
Accelerate
Increasing speed or intensity towards a destined failure.
At nine point eight
Acknowledging the inevitability of the impending crash.
Accept the fact I'm going to crash
Accepting the consequences of one's actions.
And so-called friends have gone away
Experiencing abandonment by so-called friends.
And all advice will cease to stay today
Noting the absence of helpful advice or support.
Today on fragile wings I tried to touch the sun
Attempting to reach ambitious goals with fragile means.
As wax and feathers melted
Visualizing the disintegration of dreams due to failure.
All my dreams have come undone today
Expressing the unraveling of aspirations.
You lift my battered soul
Finding solace or support in a higher power.
You mend my broken wings together
Seeking healing and restoration from brokenness.
You lift my battered soul
Receiving assistance in overcoming difficulties.
You mend my broken bones together
Symbolizing the restoration of strength and resilience.
