Too Far to Fall
Journey Through Solitude: Too Far to Fall by Neal Casal
Lyrics
When I'm all alone
Expressing solitude and introspection when alone.
I don't wonder why
Acceptance of not questioning the reasons for being alone.
I don't think of anyone
Not dwelling on thoughts about others in solitude.
I just put my records on
Finding solace in playing music when alone.
I don't even try
Not making an effort to connect with others.
To get through to anyone
Difficulty in reaching out or communicating with others.
Feeling good, feeling bad
Experiencing a range of emotions, from good to bad, to numbness.
Feeling nothing at all
Expressing a sense of emotional detachment.
If I could, I'd go back
Desire to go back to a previous state or time.
But it's too far to fall
Realization that going back is impossible and signifies a significant downfall.
Wish I had the time to spend the day with you
Expressing a wish for more time to spend with a loved one.
And see your speckled shoulders
Describing physical characteristics of the loved one.
No rising line
Emphasizing a lack of progress or improvement.
And no one passing through
Describing a sense of isolation with no one entering or leaving.
And no more getting older
Reflecting on the inevitability of aging.
It seems like every day, another night goes by
Noting the passing of time and the loss of friends.
Another friend goes under
Expressing an attempt to save others but failing.
I tried to save them all, but I couldn't save myself
Acknowledging personal struggles and inability to save oneself.
Sometimes it makes me wonder how this heart burns
Questioning the emotional toll and impact on the heart.
Feeling good, feeling bad
Reiteration of experiencing different emotions.
Feeling nothing at all
Continued sense of emotional detachment or numbness.
If I could, I'd go back
Repeating the desire to go back to a previous state.
But it's too far to fall
Emphasizing the impossibility of returning, indicating a significant downfall.
If you really won't be with me just say the word
Offering to step aside if the other person doesn't want to be together.
And I'll be out of your way now
Expressing willingness to leave if not wanted.
If you really won't believe me, tell me
Seeking belief and understanding from the other person.
And I'll be out of your way now
Reiterating the willingness to step aside.
Out of your way now
Confirmation of being out of the way.
Feeling good, feeling bad
Reiteration of experiencing various emotions.
Feeling nothing at all
Continued sense of emotional detachment or numbness.
If I could, I'd go back
Repeating the desire to go back to a previous state.
But it's too far to fall
Final emphasis on the impossibility of returning, signifying a significant downfall.
