The Fall
Falling Shadows: A Soul's Descent into Dark Romance
Lyrics
One time never hurt so good
Experiencing something for the first time has a positive impact.
But I think it’s just misunderstood
Suggests that the experience is not fully understood or appreciated.
The feeling in my bones I get
A sensation deep within that accompanies a perilous encounter.
When the taste of death tastes sweeter yet
The allure of danger can be strangely appealing or addictive.
Fool me one and shame on you
Being deceived once is forgivable.
Fool me twice and damn it’s true
Repeated deception is a harsh reality.
A now repeating proclamation
A recurring statement about a heart damaged by its own choices.
Of a heart beat up by its own volition
The heart's condition worsened by its own decisions.
If three’s a crowd let’s make it dance
If the situation is crowded or complicated, embrace it with dance.
And I’ll gladly drown in it’s dark romance
Willingness to immerse in the complex and dark aspects of love.
You think it’d be hard to drink
Expectation that consuming something dark would be difficult.
But dear, black water goes down smooth
Despite expectations, embracing darkness is surprisingly smooth.
How far, how far must I fall
Questioning the extent or depth of the impending emotional fall.
Before you take it away
Wondering when the experience of love will be taken away.
All the love that you gave
Expressing unworthiness of the love received.
I don’t deserve it at all
Acknowledging a sense of undeservingness for the affection.
Now I’m here bleeding out
Being in a vulnerable and wounded state.
And you are, you are, you are
Repetition of the observer's presence during the fall.
Just watching me fall
The observer remains a distant spectator to the fall.
Suddenly it’s all I see
The predominant focus is now on the internal struggle.
The cold disease inside of me
A metaphor for an emotional affliction taking root.
Mirrors will never lie it’s true
Reflections reveal an undeniable truth about separation.
I died the day I turned from you
A symbolic death resulting from turning away from a significant connection.
70 times the seventh sin
A biblical reference to repeated sinful behavior.
And yet you call me back again
Despite transgressions, there's a persistent call back to the relationship.
A cage made of a million lies, but
A confinement of falsehoods that the person is trapped in.
You refuse to go
Refusal to break free from the deceptive cage.
How far, how far must I fall
Reiteration of the question about the depth of the fall.
Before you take it away
Anticipation of love being taken away intensifies.
All the love that you gave
Reiteration of not feeling deserving of the love received.
I don’t, deserve it at all
Emphasizing the undeserving nature of the speaker.
Now I’m here bleeding out
Current state of bleeding out emotionally.
And you are, you are, you are
The distant observer remains unchanged.
Just watching me fall
Repetition of the observer's role in watching the fall.
Watching me fall
Reinforcement of the act of watching the fall.
Watching me fall, fall
Repetition of the act of falling.
Just watching me fall
Confirmation of the observer's passive role in witnessing the fall.
Watch Me
A direct plea to be observed or acknowledged.
How far, how far must I fall
Repetition of the question about the depth of the fall.
Before you take it away
Intensifying the plea for the removal of love.
All the love that you gave
Reiteration of feeling undeserving of the love given.
I don’t, deserve it at all
Emphasizing the sense of unworthiness of the speaker.
Now I’m here bleeding out
Continuation of the emotional bleeding process.
And you are, you are, you are
The distant observer remains a passive spectator.
Just watching me fall
Final confirmation of the observer's role in watching the fall.
