In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Fear, in me, so deep
it gets the best of me
and in fear, i fall
here it comes, face to face with me
here i stand, hold back so no one can see
i feel these wounds
step down, step down, step DOWN
it cannot break me, DOWN
Can i break away?
push me away, make me fall
just to see another side of me
push me away, u cant see what i see
the other side of me
Fall back on me, and ill be the strength i need
to save me now, just come face to face with me
stay in place, u'll be the first to see
me heal these wounds
step down, step down, step DOWN, DOWN
it cannot break me, DOWN, DOWN
Can i break away?
push me away, make me fall
just to see another side of me
push me away, u cant see what i see, the other side of me
side of me, side of me, side of me
GO
GOOOOOOOOOOOO
Can i break away?
push me away, make me fall
just to see another side of me
push me away, u cant see what i see
the other side of me
No one can see anything on the other side of me
i walk, i crawl
losing everything and waiting for a downfall
no one can see anything on the other side of me
i walk, i crawl
losing everything, on the downfall
FALL
it gets the best of me
and in fear, i fall
here it comes, face to face with me
here i stand, hold back so no one can see
i feel these wounds
step down, step down, step DOWN
it cannot break me, DOWN
Can i break away?
push me away, make me fall
just to see another side of me
push me away, u cant see what i see
the other side of me
Fall back on me, and ill be the strength i need
to save me now, just come face to face with me
stay in place, u'll be the first to see
me heal these wounds
step down, step down, step DOWN, DOWN
it cannot break me, DOWN, DOWN
Can i break away?
push me away, make me fall
just to see another side of me
push me away, u cant see what i see, the other side of me
side of me, side of me, side of me
GO
GOOOOOOOOOOOO
Can i break away?
push me away, make me fall
just to see another side of me
push me away, u cant see what i see
the other side of me
No one can see anything on the other side of me
i walk, i crawl
losing everything and waiting for a downfall
no one can see anything on the other side of me
i walk, i crawl
losing everything, on the downfall
FALL
