Built to Fall
Climbing Heights of Social Triumph: Decoding 'Built to Fall' Meaning
Lyrics
Each platform, a conquest you're aiming for
Striving for achievement on various platforms or levels.
Each step an honor worth killing for
Every step forward is deemed valuable enough to fight for.
Your stock will rise and not fall
Expectation that one's value will consistently increase.
If you sell them short and pull them off the wall
If you underestimate others and remove their support, your success might collapse.
Climbing on backs of the broken
Advancing by exploiting the vulnerabilities of others.
Scraping, you're gaining traction
Slowly but steadily gaining ground or progress.
It's easy, the path to summit
The way to the top seems uncomplicated.
The apex of social ranking
Reaching the highest point of social hierarchy.
Still standing, the tower's been raised up
A metaphor for achieving great success.
Your goal, a perfect view from the top
Striving for a perfect view or perspective from the top.
Can't stop, you know you can't wait
Continuous pursuit, fearing the consequences of slowing down.
Or you'll be pulled down by the ones you've disgraced
Risk of downfall due to disrespecting or harming others.
Climbing on backs of the broken
Exploiting the weaknesses of others for personal gain.
Scraping, you're gaining traction
Gradually gaining traction or progress.
It's easy, the path to summit
Portrayal of an easy path to reaching the top.
The apex of social ranking
Attainment of the highest status in society.
Tremors, you feel vibrations growing
Sensing impending danger or trouble.
Status forgotten, panic grips you tight
Feeling of fear and loss of status or position.
Not tight enough, not soon enough
The realization that the response or actions aren't effective or timely enough.
No rescue coming, you're on your own
Being left without external help or support.
Climbing on backs of the broken
Benefiting from the weaknesses or struggles of others.
Scraping, you're gaining traction
Slowly progressing by exploiting others' vulnerabilities.
It's easy, the path to summit
Perceiving an effortless path to reaching the top.
The apex of social ranking
Attaining the highest point in the social hierarchy.
