The Fallout
Navigating Love's Fallout: A Song of Redemption and Reconciliation
Lyrics
It was just underneath the surface
Expressing a hidden or suppressed emotion or issue.
I had an axe and I ground it with a purpose
Using determination and focus to confront a problem.
I wound up and then I threw
Physically acted upon the issue, taking a decisive step.
And all it took was a second (All it took was a second)
Highlighting the swift impact of a momentary action.
To let my forked tongue do all the damage
Using words to cause harm or conflict.
My words took aim across the room
Words intentionally directed to cause emotional damage.
And split your heart apart in two
Describing the emotional impact of the words on the other person.
Can we forgive what we can't forget
Questioning the possibility of forgiveness for unforgettable actions.
Try to move on like we never met
Exploring the difficulty of moving on from a painful encounter.
How can we live if we are both dead in past mistakes
Reflecting on the challenges of living with past mistakes.
I'll carry your cross if you carry mine
Offering mutual support in facing the consequences of actions.
Throw you a rope if you draw me a line
Expressing willingness to help if reciprocated.
And if you are lost I'll pray for the light that leads to brighter days
Providing emotional support and hoping for better times.
You shot a look like a dagger
Describing a piercing and intense look from the other person.
And dropped a bomb like an anvil from a ladder
Referring to a significant revelation or revelation of information.
For all is fair in love and war
Stating that all is fair in the complex dynamics of love and war.
You cut me open with your wedding ring (Cut me open with your wedding ring)
Describing a hurtful action using a wedding ring as a metaphor.
Reached inside and you pulled out my heart strings
Illustrating the emotional impact of the action.
Left me bleeding on the floor
Conveying the aftermath of the hurtful action.
Now here as I lay I beg for more
Expressing a desire for more, despite the pain.
Can we forgive what we can't forget
Repeating the theme of forgiveness and forgetting.
Try to move on like we never met
Emphasizing the challenge of moving forward.
How can we live if we are both dead in past mistakes
Highlighting the difficulty of living with past mistakes.
I'll carry your cross if you carry mine
Offering mutual support and shared burden.
Throw you a rope if you draw me a line
Reiterating the offer of help if reciprocated.
And if you are lost I'll pray for the light that leads to brighter days
Continuing to provide support and hope.
All of our doubt
Describing the accumulation of doubt creating a dark cloud.
Forms a dark cloud
Emphasizing the negative impact of doubt.
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
Repeating the vocalization of doubt and questioning.
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
-Is there hope found (Is there hope found)
-In the fallout (In the fallout)
-Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
-Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
-It turns out that the enemy
Realizing that the true enemy is internal, not the other person.
Was never you but the battle here inside of me
Acknowledging inner struggles and conflicts.
I never meant to do you harm
Expressing remorse for unintentional harm caused.
I know I can never take it back
Recognizing the irreversible nature of some actions.
Still I'm raising up the white flag
Symbolic surrender and vulnerability by raising a white flag.
And letting down my guard
Being open and defenseless to seek comfort.
Just to be here in your arms
Expressing a desire to be close and find solace in each other.
Alright
An affirmative expression, possibly signifying agreement or resolution.
Can we forgive what we can't forget
Repeating the theme of forgiveness, moving on, and mutual support.
Try to move on like we never met
-How can we live if we are both dead
-I'll carry your cross if you carry mine
-Throw you a rope if you draw me a line
-And if we are lost I'll pray for the light that leads to brighter days
Continuing the hope for a brighter future despite being lost.
