Fall Away
Breaking Reflections: Navigating Life's Storm in 'Fall Away'
Lyrics
Got your head in the clouds
Feeling disconnected or dreamy, not grounded in reality.
While you wait around for the fall
Anticipating a negative event or downfall while idly waiting.
Just keep saying nothing
Choosing silence, avoiding communication.
But nothing's all you ever say at all
Consistently expressing nothing or very little.
While the TV says it's time to make a change
Media suggests a need for change, but positive feelings seem odd.
Feeling good now just feels strange
Feeling discomfort or unfamiliarity when feeling good.
It starts to add up
Accumulating consequences of inaction or passive behavior.
When all you do is sit and count
Monotonous counting, emphasizing lack of proactive effort.
Just making up words
Creating imaginary language to comprehend one's existence.
to understand what your life's about
Struggling to understand the purpose or meaning of life.
And the paper said it's time to make a change
External sources urging change, but the burden feels overwhelming.
But it all feels heavy when it's
Weightiness of the situation intensifies despite external advice.
Raining down on you
Experiencing challenges or difficulties.
And you don't know what to do
Feeling lost and uncertain about how to navigate challenges.
break the mirror to hide the view
Attempting to avoid self-reflection or self-awareness.
Just follow the steps
Following prescribed steps in the hope of regaining confidence.
Then soon enough you'll walk so tall and proud
Expecting personal growth and pride after overcoming challenges.
But it's hard to take steps
Struggling to take positive steps due to internal obstacles.
When every inch pulls you to the ground
Feeling constantly pulled down or hindered.
When you look at yourself its not like yesterday
Reflection on oneself reveals a noticeable change from the past.
Instead its more like a stranger who's just
Perceiving oneself as a stranger, disconnected from one's identity.
Staring back at you
Encountering a version of oneself that performs familiar actions.
Doing all the things you do
Observing oneself engaging in habitual behaviors.
Smash the mirror and break on through
Symbolic act of breaking free from self-perception or identity.
Fall away
Expressing a desire or process of distancing oneself from a situation or identity.
When you look at yourself its not like yesterday
Continued realization of becoming a stranger to oneself.
You feel more like a stranger with every
Intensifying feelings of alienation and unfamiliarity.
Small act that you do
Every small action reinforces the sense of becoming a stranger.
and every word you latch on to
Each word clung to further contributes to the feeling of alienation.
is just a turn on a rusty screw
Symbolizing the exacerbation of discomfort or disconnection.
