Going Down In Flames Lyrics

Don’t tell me what to think
Cause I don’t care this time
Don’t tell me what you believe
Cause you won’t be there
To catch me when I fall
But you’ll need me when I’m not here at all
Miss me when I’m gone again, yeah

I’m going down in flames
I’m falling into this again, yeah
I’m going down in flames
I’m falling into this again

Don’t tell me how life is
Cause I don’t really want to know
Don’t tell me how this game ends
Cause we’ll just see how it goes
Catch me when I fall
Or you’ll need me when I’m not here at all
Miss me when I’m gone again, yeah

I’m going down in flames
I’m falling into this again, yeah
I’m going down in flames
I’m falling into this again, yeah

Now, I’m all the way down here
I’m falling
I’m all the way down here
I’m falling down again
I’m falling down
I’m falling down
I’m falling down

I’m going down in flames
I’m falling into this again,
I’m going down in flames
I’m falling into this again

Now, I’m all the way down here
I’m falling
All the way
All the way down here
I’m falling down again now I’m falling down

this is definitely one of the best songs on away from the sun... as for the meaning, it's about someone who keeps falling into the same cycle with the same person, as much as they don't want to. it's the type of relationship situation where someone is let down, swears that it won't happen again, then watches themselves as they 'fall into it' all over again. it's the point where you've succumbed to yourself when you know you'll only get hurt, and given in, even when you said you wouldn't.

To me this song about falling into depression and feeling that no one cares: "Don’t tell me what you believe Cause you won’t be there To catch me when I fall But you’ll need me when I’m not here at all"

Great song.

This song is just incredible, i never get tired of listening to it.

I think this song is about the persona's relationship with someone who has taken advantage of him before, and now it's happening again.

this song is about how someone is trying to tell him what to think but he's saying kinda saying they don't have the right to be telling him what to do becaues they won't help him if he screws up. it's about this never ending cycle he gets into with someone and how he hates it and how the person thinks they know a lot more than they actually do.
