Falling
Emotional Freefall: Pride, Love, and Pretensions
Lyrics
Well alright
Expression of approval or agreement
Oh, oh Lord
An exclamation calling upon the Lord
Well alright
Reiteration of approval or agreement
Oh, oh Lord (ho, ho)
Expressing excitement and calling upon the Lord
Well alright (ho, ho, ha-ho)
Reiteration with added vocalizations
Oh Lord (ho, ho)
Expression of excitement and calling upon the Lord
Well aright (ho, ho, ha-ho)(dum, dum, dum-dum)
Reiteration with added vocalizations and musical beats
Drive your high heel into my heart
Metaphorically describes emotional pain inflicted by someone
I don't even care
Indifference towards the emotional pain
'Cause my pride is worth much more than your
Emphasizing the value of personal pride over a trivial love
Your stupid little love
Dismissal of the importance of the other person's love
Every word that you say keeps on bouncing around in my head
The impact of hurtful words lingering in the mind
When all my delusions of grandeur have turned into bad jokes instead
Shift from grand aspirations to self-deprecating humor
You'll be there pointing and laughing to prove you were wiser than I
Expectation of mockery from others for past mistakes
Well I'm just pretending perfection, I'm flying uncomfortably high
Acknowledging the facade of perfection and discomfort in success
It feels like I'm falling
Expressing the sensation of losing control or stability
It feels like I'm falling
Reiteration of the feeling of falling or losing control
It feels like I'm all in
Suggesting commitment or being fully invested in the situation
It feels like I'm falling
Repetition of the sensation of falling
Drive your high heel into my heart
Repetition of the metaphorical pain caused by someone
'Cause I don't even care
Reiteration of indifference towards emotional pain
My pride is worth much more than your
Emphasizing the value of personal pride over trivial love, again
Your stupid little love
Dismissal of the importance of the other person's love, again
Every word that you say keeps on bouncing around in my head (bouncing around in my head)
Continuation of the impact of hurtful words lingering
When all my delusions of grandeur have turned into bad jokes instead (bad jokes instead)
Continued shift from grand aspirations to self-deprecating humor
You'll be there pointing and laughing to prove you were wiser than I (pink sky)
Expectation of mockery from others for past mistakes, again
Well I'm just pretending perfection, I'm flying uncomfortably high
Acknowledging the facade of perfection and discomfort in success, again
It feels like I'm falling (falling)
Reiteration of the feeling of falling or losing control
It feels like I'm falling (falling)
Reiteration of the sensation of falling
It feels like I'm all in (all in)
Repetition of being fully invested or committed
It feels like I'm falling (falling)
Reiteration of the feeling of falling
