All Falls Down Lyrics

Anticipating, salivating, intoxicating
How I've been waiting
To gently soak in
Your dream that's broken
Caress my hands
Around your throat
When I choke the last gasp of air out of you

I'll mesmerize you, hypnotize you
Paralyze you, my snake eyes blind you
My tenderest tickle, my gentlest prickle
The back of your neck
I stab icicles

My sweetest grin will pull you in
Behind that grin a razor teeth smile
Under your bed
Inside your head
I am the monster in wait

Walk, run
I'm the fear you've become
Pray, hope
Before it's your
Downfall, and all falls down

I patronize you, victimize you
My false pretenses endear me to you
I'm psychopathic, psychosomatic
Believe everything you've heard about me

Ate you alive since you were a child
That's when the monster first appeared to you
So know my name
What is my name?
My name is fear and I'm you

Walk, run
I'm the fear you've become
Pray, hope
Before it's your
Downfall, and all falls down

With faith I crawl
In sadness, I fear what I've become
'Cause after all
I'm acting, pretend my smile on
Before the fall
The pain washes over
Hold on, hold on
Survive
Survive
This

Walk, run
Free the fear you've become
Fight back
Before it's your
Downfall, and all falls down

The songs about FEAR.

"So know my name What is my name? My name is FEAR and I'm you"

It say that all our fears are just products of ourselves or just in your head. You have to fight against these fears in your life and if they win it's your DOWNFALL.

This track seems to be about being consumed by fear and inner demons, which leads to everything collapsing. The “monster” it mentions is a reflection of the guilt, anger, and self-destruction inside, which can strangle hope and kill trust. It warns you to run and free yourself from the all-consuming fear, and fight back before it cements your downfall, and all you hold dear will fall down.

Negative

Well, like a lot of songs, this one could possibly be to do with a drug addiction taking over.

To me, it definately sounds like it's being written from the point of view of something that is taking over another one's life. It may be drug addiction, or it may be something else taking over. But I'd definately say the song is about having your life taken over.

this song is wierd, in meaning. it seems as if he loves torturing his prey, or whatever, but actually, he feels bad about it or doesnt want to torture him(maybe he is being forced to do so?), and hopes for his prey to not die. that is y he says "survive this" and stuff like that

METALMACHINE put it perfectly to me... the verses are about "FEAR" waiting to take hold of you when your vulnerable
