The Art of Falling Lyrics

Lost, confused, unseen and used
Dangerously fighting for nothing to lose
My progress is calling, its noticed I'm falling
It's time for a change, it's time for a move

And I know that its frightening
But its also exciting
Im taking a risk
That I know is worth fighting its

Better to make your mistakes
Than to live without knowing its
Better to fall on your face than to stay on your feet as long as you tried

Sometimes its hard to think my time here has ended
It troubles me to think about who I've offended
But I can't live my life,
In the interest of those,
Holding me back when I'm stood on my toes

But too many times I've been risking my life
Making decisions whilst trying to be nice its

Better to make your mistakes
Than to live without knowing its
Better to fall on your face than to stay on your feet as long as you tried

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I would agree @learningtobreathe :'). The song and the video fit flawlessly together. The video that is being promoted, the new official video in a way explained how I feel at times. (But I am recently Eighteen :p) Everyone is walking around with their occupations, and then there's the main character in the video and he doesn't have one and goes on a chase after the girl but mostly to get his own card with his occupation. I would also like to reference something that @learningtobreathe said: They said it was about taking risks. Your heart has the most integrity, And it's honest within itself. Following it IS key.

love the song :) i think it's about taking risks and doing what you feel is right instead of caring about what others think and i suppose, doing things that in the long term are for the best.
