| Imagine Dragons – The Fall Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| Just as Adam and Eve experienced \'The Fall\' from the garden of ignorance to knowledge, so does the singer experience a Fall from his previous innocent faith or belief, lead by his Eve or wife, who ultimately helped him see that it was not true.\n\n(1) Maybe I\'m broken\nQuestioning and losing your belief or faith in a church or religion can cause you to feel broken, even crazy at times.\n\n(2) Maybe I\'m wrong\nHe is trying to doubt his doubts and just believe.\n\n(3) I could\'ve spoken sooner than I should have\nHe knew at an earlier time that something was wrong with his belief or church, but didn’t say anything. Like in 2008 when the LDS church used its money to fight against gay rights. Considering his involvement with The Love Loud Festival, I imagine this is at least one of his major concerns with the church.\n\n(4) That\'s what they told me\nHe was told by his church leaders that those who obeyed the commandments of God would be blessed and live a long life. This is in contrast to BIlly Joel’s song, “Only the Good Die Young”.\n\n(5) Maybe I\'m breaking up with myself\nLosing faith in your belief system or religion feels like separating from your previous self.\n\n(6) Maybe I\'m thinking I should just keep To the things that I\'ve been told\nIt\'s scary to leave the church and everything you’ve ever been told. He’s doubting himself.\n\n(7) Wait for the colors to turn to gold\nWhen Adam and Eve left the garden, the world went from an eternal perfect paradise to the world we know now, with change, death, and by the sweat of our brow.\n\n(8) You\'re all I know\nHe’s calling out to his Eve, letting her know that she is all he knows to be real and true. \n\n(9) Comes crashing down\nWhen he leaves the church or his previous belief, everything\'s supposed to come crashing down, but at least he will have her.\n\n(10) I\'m ready for everything that I believed in to drift away\nHe’s ready to leave his current "innocent" state or of his current belief and enter a world away from his belief.\n\n(11) Breaking me down to my knees in the dead of night\nThis process is very painful for him, causing him to fall to his knees in prayer, begging for help from God to get through this.\n\n(12) I keep on praying to see the light\nHe’s praying for God to help him not leave the church or lose his belief. \n\n(13) Who helped me see\nHis Eve or wife helped him see the real truth about his previous beliefs. \n\n(13) You were the one\nHe’s speaking again to his Eve, admitting that it was her who helped him gain this knowledge or new truth or belief. | |
