Downhill
Falling Weightless: Exploring the Downhill Journey of Love
Lyrics
Going downhill, going downhill, going down
Expressing a continuous decline or worsening situation.
Our world’s a joke - Goes up in smoke
Describes the world as chaotic or absurd, leading to destruction.
One last satisfaction is to watch the beauty when it burns
Deriving satisfaction from witnessing beauty in destruction.
There’s no return,
Implies an irreversible situation with no possibility of going back.
Only dead end streets
Metaphor for being stuck with no favorable outcomes.
You can’t blame the heavy traffic, cause you placed us in these seats
Taking responsibility for the current situation despite external factors.
Downhill, we are going downhill
Reiteration of the continuous decline or deterioration.
Finally we drop the bomb, we pull the handle
Metaphorically referring to a decisive action leading to consequences.
Now we slip and slide
Portrays a loss of control or stability, leading to a free fall.
Weightless, finally falling weightless
Suggests a sensation of weightlessness while descending.
No escaping, no regretting, just lean back
Acceptance of the inevitable without remorse or resistance.
Enjoy the final ride
Finding pleasure or acceptance in the impending end.
You ate the cake - You caused the break
Attributing blame for a situation that led to a breakup or downfall.
But I ain’t innocent and yet I had the thrill to watch you choke
Admitting complicity in the situation while finding satisfaction in the other's suffering.
Our love’s a wreck - There’s no way back
Describing the irreparable nature of a damaged relationship.
And like two madmen we are laughing on this wrong way one way track
Comparing themselves to reckless individuals laughing amidst chaos.
We’d try to fix it with a bottle of the best intensions - and look at us now
Attempts made to mend the relationship failed, leading to the current state.
We’d try to gather all the broken pieces - but, we really don’t know how
Expressing the inability to reconcile or fix the broken relationship.
We let each other go
Acceptance of letting go of each other.
The bird we caught together has flown
Metaphorical reference to a shared experience or bond that's now lost or gone.
