After The Fall
Love Beyond Perfection: Exploring Imperfections in After The Fall
Lyrics
Take on the weight of a happy ending
Feeling the pressure of ensuring a happy conclusion or outcome
You can't bear it all til you stop pretending
One cannot handle everything until they stop pretending or being in denial
Wake up and see how imperfect we are
Realizing and acknowledging our imperfections
I lash out at times when i got no right to
Reacting negatively or angrily even when it's not justified
You shut down and close out the ones who love you
Withdrawing and pushing away those who care about you
We're flesh and bone made of muscle and scars
Being human, vulnerable, and bearing physical and emotional scars
In a perfect love there's always something wrong
Suggesting that even in perfect love, there are flaws or issues
In a world defined by moments it's the long term
Life is made up of significant moments, but the real substance lies in long-term commitment
The slow burn
Slow, enduring intensity of emotions or relationships
And i can't try to justify at all
Feeling unable to provide a reasonable explanation or excuse
Love, will you be here after the fall?
Questioning whether love will endure hardships and difficulties
Blacktop the hum of the motor running
Describing a scene of driving on a road surface
Five hours to go and my stomach turning
Feeling anxious or nervous with a significant time duration ahead
White lines and guides only take you so far
Literal reference to road markings providing limited guidance
No story book ever reaches this part
No fairy tale or storybook prepares one for this stage or moment in life
True love plus life leads to heavy hearts
Real love coupled with life experiences can lead to emotional weightiness
Just hold tight to me and we'll see what we are
Encouraging holding on together to discover their true nature
In a perfect love there's always something wrong
Highlighting imperfections or issues in perfect love
In a world defined by moments it's the long term
Emphasizing the importance of long-term commitment over fleeting moments
The slow burn
Reiterating the enduring and slow-paced nature of intense feelings or relationships
And i can't try to justify at all
Expressing inability to provide a valid reason or justification
Love, will you be here after the fall?
Questioning the continuity of love beyond hardships or difficulties
In a perfect love there's always something wrong
Reiterating imperfections or issues in perfect love
In a world defined by moments it's the long term
Reemphasizing the significance of long-term commitment over momentary instances
The slow burn
Stressing the enduring and slow-burning nature of deep emotions or relationships
And i can't try to justify at all
Feeling unable to offer a valid explanation or excuse
Love, will you be here after the fall?
Questioning the resilience of love after experiencing hardships or challenges
