Translations Lyrics
When you fail, you fall on
Your own
Let it slip away
When you land, you land on
Your own
Let it slip away
Realize you try to find something
A branch to hold onto
Make peace with your actions
In your last ditch attempt
Find your redemption
Make peace with your actions
When you feel, you feel all alone
Let it slip away
When you die, you die
on your own
Let it slip away
Your own
Let it slip away
When you land, you land on
Your own
Let it slip away
A branch to hold onto
Make peace with your actions
In your last ditch attempt
Find your redemption
Make peace with your actions
Let it slip away
When you die, you die
on your own
Let it slip away

very good closing track on a great sparta cd..... i dont know anything about the meaning but it seems to be clouded in double entendre perhaps it just has some permeating universal meaning... in closing...i recommend listening to this track
I love them but????? when did sparta become radiohead!!!
Wow, No comments? I am not entirely sure what this is truly about. My best guess is that it is saying that you should try to be independent and have moral values. Ironically, with a background singer. Anyone know who it is?
The background singer's name is Merry Clayton. She also sings the background vocals on Atlas.

The first line should be: "When you fall" instead of "fail".
I think that what this song is about is in plain sight. So here's what it's saying in other words:
When you feel or you know you are making a mistake, screwing up, making a bad decision, etc. Just let it go, as in remember that to err is human And when you are finally done making any of those errors Just let it go
Then make sure you find the good in the bad, hold on to that, get up and learn from your mistakes Accept what you have done, make peace with your actions, leave them in the past Even when you think you can't make it right, use your last strengths to find your redemption and Make peace with your actions
When you feel all alone, don't worry about it, let it go Even when you feel you have ruined your life on your own, just let it go.
