| Blink-182 – Even If She Falls Lyrics | 14 years ago |

I think it's about falling for a girl who might fall for you, but you know she won't be with you in the end. "And she was, like a starry night, Like a Ferris Wheel, full of blue-green eyes, And a heart of steel, always on her own, Almost never real" The first few lines are just a few notes on how amazing she is. A heart of steel is a reference to her painful situation that always leads to her being on her own, or at least in a relationship that isn't real; put whatever you want into here. I think the best explanation would be she's hanging around with an ex who treats her wrong, but, you know girls in rock songs - they always go back no matter how unhappy they are. "When the night will begin The pain it won't end, even if she falls in love Back, you wanna turn back Your heart will attack, even if she falls in love" This is pretty much where I got my idea from. Even if she falls in love with you, you're still not going to have her. You know you won't have her and you know you're just going to have a pain-filled heart, even if she does fall in love. "And she was like a blade of ice Like a lonely road, clear as day, alive Always sharp and cold, always beautiful I am such a fool" Contrasting images of the girl: she's both clear as day/alive, and sharp and cold. This is him debating whether or not to try to be with her; he's presenting her in both a good and bad light, talking himself in and out of it. It's important to note that "like a lonely road" is in the positive line. In my explanation, he's trying to convince himself that she's alone, but he knows she's lingering around her ex. Judging by the nature of the song, he's leaning towards trying for her anyway, admitting it's a foolish idea, but love means you don't care. "Try to look in her eyes The light is just right, even if she falls in love And it isn't so bad It's driving you mad, even if she falls in love" He's falling for her hard now that he's started trying, and he's even starting to believe that it could work. However, his sense that "the pain won't end" is nagging at the back of his thoughts and driving him mad, even as he believes she's falling in love. This is my opinion. |
