Keep from Falling
Resisting Love's Gripping Pull
Lyrics
I know it can hold us down, we always thought we would be safe and sound
Realization that circumstances can weigh us down; a belief in safety shattered by unexpected events
And it's hard to recognize, before you know it all the lights are down
Difficulty in perceiving impending changes; sudden darkness or difficulties arise unexpectedly
I'm not the only one, seen it everywhere
Observation that the experience is not unique; it's a widespread phenomenon
It breaks down all the things we thought we knew
Destruction of previously held beliefs or knowledge
I start to learn again, but it's still the same, it's all the same and it's all the same
Attempting to relearn, but the situation remains unchanged
Ieeeie gotta keep myself from falling
Expresses determination to prevent oneself from falling
Oooh, Ooohh, ooooh gotta keep myself from falling
Reiterates the resolve to avoid falling
Fall Fall, into that same old hole, I thought it was another four-letter word
Fear of falling into familiar negative patterns despite thinking it was avoidable
Putting in time and wasting my time and
Sense of wasting time and effort
High High, was such a high, sigh sigh, relief the first time
Initial euphoria followed by disappointment; a temporary relief
I saw you pass by by, everything was fine
Seeing someone pass by, feeling fine initially
I'm not the only one, it's bad and fucked up we seem to get hooked on
Recognition that others also face similar negative experiences and get hooked on them
Bad vibes hearts in their hands, as much as we love it, I've had enough cause
Feeling exhausted from negative emotions despite initially loving them
Oooh, oooh, oooh Gotta keep myself from falling
Reiteration of the resolve to avoid falling
Oooh, oooh, oooh Gotta keep myself from falling
Continued determination to prevent oneself from falling
Some call it love and it hurts so much
Repetition emphasizing the pain caused by love
Some call it love and it hurts so much
-Some call it love and it hurts so much
-Some call it love and it hurts so much
-Some call it love and it hurts so much
-Some call it love and it hurts so much
-Some call it love and it hurts so much
-Some call it love and it hurts so much
-Oooh, oooh, oooh Gotta keep myself from falling
Reassertion of the determination to avoid falling
Oooh, oooh, oooh Gotta keep myself from falling
Continued commitment to prevent falling
All my life I stayed inside, thought I was bright, a different kind
Feeling confined for a long time despite thinking differently
It's all getting easier now, I'm getting closer now
Feeling progress or improvement in the situation
Against the tide I'm no young man, putting money and time in a crazy ass plan
Struggling against difficult odds, investing time and money in a seemingly impractical plan
I'm getting older now, time to be growing now
Realization of aging and the need for personal growth
I hadn't seen, done or compromised much, so full of life had me hypnotized
Feeling inexperienced or untouched by compromises, previously captivated by life
I'm getting over now, feel like I get it now
Feeling of overcoming past issues and gaining understanding
No place to hide, it's my own mind, there ain't no other fight
Acceptance of confronting personal challenges and acknowledging there's no escape
I got some closure now, I'm getting closer now
Sense of achieving closure and nearing a solution or understanding
