Fall So Freely Down
Embracing Life's Freefall: Deacon Blue's Poetic Journey
Lyrics
Little baby don't just slip away
Addressing a young child, urging them not to pass away easily.
Without fight or push or
Encouraging resistance or effort, not giving in without a struggle.
Saying anything
Emphasizing the importance of expressing oneself before departing.
This is all you really
Highlighting limited opportunities for communication in life.
Get to say
Stressing the significance of the present moment.
And the only thing you
Suggesting the only thing one can do is listen.
Listen in to
Underscoring the act of listening in the given context.
There are people to see
Pointing out the various engagements and interactions in life.
There are places to go
Listing the responsibilities and opportunities in life's journey.
There are things to believe in
Acknowledging the presence of beliefs that guide actions.
To believe in
Reiterating the importance of having beliefs.
So you live in the magic water
Introducing a metaphorical space, the "magic water," as a place of existence.
And you tumble and kick and turn
Describing active, youthful movements within the metaphorical water.
While your beautiful hands and feet grow
Noting the growth and development of hands and feet during this process.
So quiet is the life you beat with
Reflecting on the serene and rhythmic nature of life.
Till you fall so freely down
Anticipating a descent or transition marked by freedom.
You can't just slip or fall or leave without talking
Stressing the significance of communication and goodbyes before departure.
There's no goodbye without walking
Emphasizing the necessity of a farewell marked by movement.
The roads we travel for good
Commenting on the paths taken for positive reasons.
The ways we exit for bad
Contrasting positive exits with those motivated by negativity.
There are places to go
Reiterating the existence of various opportunities and tasks.
There are jobs to be done
Highlighting the duties and responsibilities that need attention.
There are things to believe in
Acknowledging the importance of sustaining beliefs.
To believe in
Reiterating the significance of having convictions.
So you live in the magic water
Returning to the metaphorical "magic water" as a place of existence.
And you tumble and kick and turn
Describing energetic and dynamic movements within this metaphorical space.
While your beautiful hands and feet grow
Continuing to emphasize physical growth during this process.
So quiet is the life you beat with
Reiterating the peaceful and rhythmic nature of life.
Till you fall so freely down
Anticipating a free fall or transition in life.
Till you fall so freely down
Repeating the anticipation of a free fall, emphasizing the inevitability.
Kick kick down
Introducing the act of kicking down, possibly symbolizing defiance or liberation.
So you live in the magic water
Returning to the metaphorical "magic water" and its dynamics.
And you tumble and kick and turn
Describing continued energetic movements within the metaphorical space.
While your beautiful hands and feet grow
Reiterating the ongoing physical growth during this process.
So quiet is the life you beat with
Repeating the description of a serene and rhythmic life.
So quiet is the life you beat with
Emphasizing the quiet nature of the life being lived.
And you tumble and kick and turn
Concluding with a repetition of dynamic movements and growth.
