If I Fall
Finding Strength in Vulnerability: If I Fall by Tara MacLean
Lyrics
It seems so far to go
Expressing a perception of a distant and challenging journey.
It took so long to get here
Highlighting the length and difficulty of the journey to the current point.
Now I'm saying things I swore I'd never say
Acknowledging the utterance of words that were previously promised never to be spoken.
And I'm afraid again
Conveying a sense of fear or insecurity.
I thought I had it in me
Reflecting on a perceived loss of confidence or capability.
I used to be so sure
Contrasting with the past certainty, expressing doubt or uncertainty.
There I was stronger than ever
Recalling a time of strength and resilience.
And here I am blaming the hurt
Attributing blame for the pain experienced.
And if I fall,
Introducing the possibility of a fall or failure.
I will find a way back to my hands
Asserting a commitment to self-recovery.
I'm the only one who can help me find my feet again
Emphasizing self-reliance in overcoming challenges and finding stability.
Sweet little fighter
Describing oneself as a resilient and determined individual.
Sweet little scar
Symbolizing past wounds or challenges overcome.
Sweet little fire
Metaphorically referring to an enduring passion or strength.
In my heart
Depicting an enduring flame within the speaker's emotional core.
It seems so easy now
Contrasting with previous uncertainty, portraying current ease.
Everything I dreamed about when I was a child
Recalling childhood dreams and aspirations.
It looks like a good thing's here
Expressing the arrival of something positive or desirable.
And I think I'll stay for a while
Deciding to embrace and stay with the positive change.
And if I fall, I will find a way back to my hands
Reiterating the commitment to self-recovery in case of a fall.
I'm the only one who can help me find my feet again
Stressing the individual responsibility in overcoming challenges.
You came in screaming
Describing an intense and unrestrained entrance into a situation.
And never stopped to listen to your one and only prayer
Critiquing a lack of attention or receptivity to a prayer or plea.
A place for you somewhere
Imagining a place reserved or suitable for the individual.
Sweet little fighter
Reiterating resilience and determination in a smaller form.
Sweet little scar
Symbolizing past wounds or challenges that have left a mark.
Sweet little fire
Metaphorically referring to an enduring passion or strength within.
In my heart
Reiterating the presence of a lasting emotional flame.
And if I fall,
Repeating the commitment to self-recovery in case of a fall.
I will find a way back to my hands
Emphasizing the unique role of the individual in their own recovery.
I'm the only one who can help me find my feet again
Stressing self-reliance in regaining stability and strength.
And if I fall,
Reiterating the commitment to self-recovery in case of a fall.
I will find a way back to my hands
Emphasizing the unique role of the individual in their own recovery.
I'm the only one who can help me find my feet again
Stressing self-reliance in regaining stability and strength.
And if I fall,
Repeating the commitment to self-recovery in case of a fall.
I will find a way back to my hands
Emphasizing the unique role of the individual in their own recovery.
I'm the only one who can help me find my feet again
Stressing self-reliance in regaining stability and strength.
