Crashing Down

You know, I think this song is about someone in a relationship (let's say a girl singing to her boyfriend).. She loves him as a person, loves their relationship, but knows that something is missing... and yet he keeps trying to hold on to her, because he loves her so much... ("you say, that everything is different, why don't we just hold on...").

Eventually the relationship ends - or while it is ending - she's singing to him... "you're still holding my heart, you come crashing down". She knows he is aching for her and the eventual lost relationship... and it hurts her all the same, because he knows everything about her. She wishes she could go back to the way it was when it all began, when it was simple.

The line "What do I have to live for if it's just my own dream..." may refer to her being upset at the failed relationship due to her dream of "Mr. Right"... (living alone now, having given up a perfectly wonderful guy just beacuse he isn't her "dream"). Sigh. I love this song, it makes me cry every time I hear it.

When i listen to this song i get a wierd feeling like he is singing about someone he loves, or a lover. But when i think of it in a literal sense it almost seems like he is talking about his relationship with god. not sure at all though

best song ever. no matter what i means,... the lyrics just are so great.

Sounds like he's describing a struggling relationship. The person he loves is pushing him away, and he's remembering how good it used to be.

Great heartbreak description: "Gravity's pulling, you're still holding my heart / You come crashing down, crashing down."

This really seems to be about a failed relationship...I like the continuity and quality of the lyrics. It's very dense but it's good stuff :D My favorite line is the same... "Gravity's pulling..."

Things are changing. The world isn't what it used to be. Life is getting more difficult. The one he's devoted to will get him through. The one he's devoted to is the one constant in his life, even when the rest of the world is crashing down around him. Why be away from that? What's the point of pursuing his dream if he's going it alone?

"I'm over the bridge and under the rain." he's pulled himself from the severity of the inevitably devestating flooding river that we all must if we are to move on. but the cold stinging drops of (p)ain are still f'ing with him from time to time. and may always... anybody else hear that?

This song is very similar to "Broken Jesus" by Loudness.

I think this song is about a relationship that almost was between good friends. They both know there is some undeniable connection between them but they cant be together because she is in a relationship. I always think about it like he is telling her how he feels but she is afraid. He wonders what he is doing here and why its just him that is day dreaming about what they could be.

but this could just be me relating songs I hear to my situation. I mean no one does that...
