Fallen
Unraveling Descent: Casey Donahew's Melancholic Journey
Lyrics
When I came home you said your crazy
Expressing acknowledgment of personal struggles or challenges
You know I think your probably right
Acknowledging agreement with the idea of being considered "crazy"
'Cause I've been out and I've been drinking
Indicating a history of going out and drinking
I left you alone again last night
Admitting to leaving the partner alone the previous night
You haven't cried that I noticed
Noting the partner's lack of visible emotional distress
But you don't notice much at all
Observing the partner's general lack of awareness
And it's that suitcase at the front door
Referring to a suitcase, possibly symbolizing departure or separation
Said I can't stand to watch you fall
Expressing a reluctance to witness the partner's decline
But I've already fallen
Admitting to already experiencing a personal downfall
I've already lost control
Recognizing a loss of control in personal life
I've already missed
Acknowledging mistakes or missed opportunities
And I've already sold my soul
Indicating a sense of having compromised one's integrity
And I've already cried
Admitting to emotional vulnerability and past tears
And I wish that I was flying
Expressing a desire for freedom or escape
But i keep on falling
Acknowledging an ongoing personal descent or struggle
Now I won't even try to stop you
Declining to intervene or prevent the partner's departure
Your better off with someone new
Suggesting that the partner would be better off with someone new
And I hope that you don't remember
Hoping that the partner forgets the pain caused by the speaker
All the pain that i put you through
Anticipating the partner's future happiness with someone else
You'll find a new love and you'll be happy
Encouraging the idea of the partner moving on
And you wont think of me at all
Expecting that the partner will eventually forget the speaker
And all those night you tried to save me
Recalling past attempts by the partner to save the speaker
Then I'd stumble and I'd fall
Describing a pattern of stumbling and falling despite support
But I've already fallen
Reiterating the theme of personal descent or failure
Ive already lost control
Acknowledging continued loss of control in life
I've already missed
Reiterating past mistakes or missed opportunities
And I've already sold my soul
Indicating a persistent compromise of personal integrity
And I've already cried
Admitting to ongoing emotional vulnerability and tears
And I wish that I was flying
Expressing a desire for a different, elevated state
But I keep on falling
Highlighting the continuous struggle or descent
I've already fallen
Repeating the acknowledgment of a personal downfall
I've already lost control
Reiterating the sense of losing control in life
I've already missed
Reiterating past mistakes or missed opportunities
And I've already sold my soul
Emphasizing the compromise of personal integrity
And I've already cried
Repeating the admission of ongoing emotional vulnerability
And I wish that I was flying
Expressing a persistent desire for freedom or escape
But I keep on falling
Reiterating the theme of an ongoing personal descent or struggle
But I keep on falling
Stressing the continued nature of the speaker's descent
