@[cordawg:16900] Hello, cordawg! So, "falling'" is a metaphor whose meaning is something related to "decaying". It makes sense now, thank you for the hand!...

@[TwasBrillig:6227]: Hi there! Thank you for your feedback. It is really amazing that I've been learning English my whole life and still can not tell what some pop songs really mean...

Hi!
I am a non-native speaker and this song is driving me crazy. I can not understand what "don't you think you're fallin'?" really means. From the context, it sounds something like "don't you think you're deceiving yourself?" or "don't you think you're humiliating yourself?"
Also, "Gloria, how's it gonna go down?" does not really make the bell ring. Would it be something like "Gloria, what now?".
Could some kind soul tell me what those statements really mean?
Thank you in advance!!

Hi everybody!
"Will you meet him on the main line, or will you catch him on the rebound?" sounds meaningless for me (non-native speaker here!!). "main line" refers to a place like a large avenue, right? So, the singer asks something like "Will you meet him on the main line?" in opposition to catch him after being rejected by someone else ("catch him on the rebound?")? It makes no sense at all...
This strophe is driving me crazy! Can someone tell what such a statement actually means? Thank you in advance!
