Falling
Embracing Change: A Journey Beyond Fear
Lyrics
I said - Father, I'm going to change the world
I expressed my intention to change the world to my father.
He said - Don't you think that maybe, son. It's changed enough already?
My father suggested that the world may have changed enough already.
Don't try to justify the things you live by
Advice not to rationalize or defend the principles guiding your life.
This fear you carry with you is not of your own making
The fear one carries is not self-made; it's external and inherited.
Let it go - falling, falling, falling away
Encouragement to let go of that fear, expressed through repetition.
11,000 feet, we're out of breath and still climbing up
Describing a high altitude, possibly symbolizing challenges or achievements.
High above the snow-line in the glittering ice
A vivid depiction of a mountainous landscape with snow and ice.
And beneath us, like an ocean, the white clouds slowly drifting
Comparing clouds below to an ocean, creating a scenic image.
Breaking upon the mountain
Clouds breaking upon the mountain, possibly signifying challenges.
Let it go - falling, falling, falling away
Reiteration of the encouragement to let go, with falling as a motif.
Wasting all the years just waiting on a promise
Reflecting on wasted years while waiting for an unfulfilled promise.
Undelivered but still not broken
The promise remains unfulfilled but not entirely shattered or abandoned.
And the world ruses by you way out of control
The world passing by uncontrollably, depicted as chaotic and noisy.
Like a carousel of noise with wild spinning lights
Metaphor of the world as a spinning carousel with wild lights.
And sometimes we both sit here
A shared feeling of paralysis and tension, possibly in a relationship.
Paralysed with tension, seized up tight
The tension causing a state of being seized up or immobile.
You want to make it safe, you want to make it okay
The desire to make things safe and okay amid the tension.
But this fear you carry with you is not of your own making
Reiteration that the carried fear is not self-made; repeating the encouragement to let it go.
Let it go - falling, falling, falling away
Repetition of the theme of letting go and falling away.
