Lyrics
I'm falling, I see people down on the pavement
I am descending, observing people on the pavement below.
Silver bells, sidewalks, I'm sideways, my eyes are wet
Mention of silver bells and sidewalks, feeling disoriented with wet eyes.
I'm higher through the sky than anyone ever
Feeling elevated in the sky, surpassing everyone in height.
Promise I won't cry if goodbye, will you save me?
Pledging not to cry if parting, seeking salvation.
I want it so bad that I can hardly breathe
Intense desire causing difficulty in breathing.
I'm falling eighteen more stories 'til I reach it
Falling further, counting down stories until reaching a destination.
Make it go in slow motion show me forever
Yearning for time to slow down, desiring eternity.
That dripping nectar the elixir from heaven
Referencing a heavenly elixir, symbolizing something precious.
Show me that secret word that will save my life
Asking to reveal a secret word that can save one's life.
In neon come the special rose of the night
Describing the arrival of a special rose in neon lights during the night.
There is a love song playing from someone's window
Noting the presence of a love song coming from a distant window.
I heard it young once, now I know how it goes
Having heard the love song in youth, now understanding its meaning.
Woke up in a darkened room so far away from you
Waking up in an unfamiliar, dark place, separated from a significant other.
Became addicted to your voice in the distance
Becoming addicted to a distant voice, unable to hear anything else.
I can't hear anything else now that I'm in it
Being immersed in the addiction, focusing solely on the distant voice.
They told me not to jump but I wouldn't listen
Ignoring advice not to jump, possibly metaphorical for taking risks.
How to die happy, that's what we're here for, isn't it?
Reflecting on the purpose of life and the quest for happiness, even in death.
Woke up in a broken place I can't remember your face
Waking up in a shattered state, unable to recall the face of a loved one.
Send me all the way to the bottom to get it
Requesting to be sent to the bottom to attain something significant.
I am so cold, lay your hand over my head
Expressing intense coldness, seeking warmth or comfort.
This was the end all the way from the beginning
Acknowledging the end, suggesting that it was inevitable from the start.
But giving up is not the same as giving in
Drawing a distinction between giving up and giving in, implying resilience.
