Are you blind?
Blind to me trying to be kind?
Volunteering for your firing line
Waiting for one precious sign
The flicker of a smile
You should try it just once in a while
It's simply too easy to do
And you might not see it through
See it through
Find yourself another place to fall
Find yourself up against another brick wall
See yourself as a fallen angel
Well I don't see no holes in the road but you
Find another place to fall
Are you proud?
To have founded a brand new behavior
With hatred and hurt as your savior
But nobody's choosing to follow
So you choke back the tears and you swallow
Men who have ruined your life
You consume them with minimum strife
But now you have got indigestion
The antacid comes as a question
Find yourself another place to fall
Find yourself up against another brick wall
See yourself as a fallen angel
Well I don't see no holes in the road but you
Find another place to fall
There isn't much more I can say
For I don't understand the delay
You're asking for friendly advice
And remaining in permanent crisis
Affection is yours if you ask
But first you must take off your mask
When you're backs turned I've decided
I'll throw it away just like I did
Find yourself another place to fall
Find yourself up against another brick wall
See yourself as a fallen angel
Well I don't see no holes in the road but you
Find another place to fall
Well I don't see no holes in the road but you
Find another place to fall
Well I don't see no holes in the road but you
Find another place to fall
Well I don't see no holes in the road but you
Find another place to fall
Blind to me trying to be kind?
Volunteering for your firing line
Waiting for one precious sign
The flicker of a smile
You should try it just once in a while
It's simply too easy to do
And you might not see it through
See it through
Find yourself another place to fall
Find yourself up against another brick wall
See yourself as a fallen angel
Well I don't see no holes in the road but you
Find another place to fall
Are you proud?
To have founded a brand new behavior
With hatred and hurt as your savior
But nobody's choosing to follow
So you choke back the tears and you swallow
Men who have ruined your life
You consume them with minimum strife
But now you have got indigestion
The antacid comes as a question
Find yourself another place to fall
Find yourself up against another brick wall
See yourself as a fallen angel
Well I don't see no holes in the road but you
Find another place to fall
There isn't much more I can say
For I don't understand the delay
You're asking for friendly advice
And remaining in permanent crisis
Affection is yours if you ask
But first you must take off your mask
When you're backs turned I've decided
I'll throw it away just like I did
Find yourself another place to fall
Find yourself up against another brick wall
See yourself as a fallen angel
Well I don't see no holes in the road but you
Find another place to fall
Well I don't see no holes in the road but you
Find another place to fall
Well I don't see no holes in the road but you
Find another place to fall
Well I don't see no holes in the road but you
Find another place to fall

(talking to a friend who is always complaining/ depressed)
Are you not seeing that I am trying to help you?
I'm trying to cheer you up because you are complaining.
I am waiting for you to show me that you are even wanting to feel better (a smile would be nice).
Find another place to complain & another problem to gripe about.
You act like you are an innocent victim of everything.
Go somewhere else to complain.
Are you proud to be the leader of hatred and hurting??
Do you not see that no one wants to feel unhappy like you do?
The problems you had before which you moved on from now still hurt you. But do you want to try and feel better???
I don't know what else to tell you to make you feel better.
I don't understand why you can never feel good.
If you ask for my advice and I tell you what I think you should do you do not listen.
If you want me to lift your spirits then you must be open to feeling better.
When you don't look I am trying to just forget all that you have told me because I don't want to be as negative as you.
"Well I don't see no holes in the road
But you find another place to fall."
I was hearing it the other way for a while, but then a few hours later I heard it differently. This way makes more sense to me, like she's telling this person that she can't see the problems but they are finding them all by themselves. I have a friend like that who asks for advice all the time but doesn't actually want to hear it.
"when your back's turned, i've decided
i'll throw it away just like i did"
watch the video too...she's talking to herself in it-like there's two versions of herself: depressed and normal. I love the part where she's stumbling down the blurred allay-cuz that's exactly what it feels like. Like you can't even see the end and then it finally clears and all the haze is gone...amazing song
Alternatively this song could be about her getting sick of the subject's constant misery and is telling them to find someone else to fall back on, despite the fact that no one else has been willing to listen to them ('nobody's choosing to follow')
Because she gets fed up of her, KT tells her friend to "find another place to fall" (find someone else to talk to), because all she does is feel sorry for herself ("See yourself as a fallen angel").
The first verse ("Are you blind Blind to me trying to be kind?") is KT asking if she's just ignoring her advice.
"I don't see no holes in the road but you" refers to that the only thing that stops her friend from cheering up is herself.
And this reminds me a lot of Army of Me by Björk.
"Remaining in permanent crisis."
