She's a good girl, loves her mama
Loves Jesus and America too
Shes a good girl, crazy bout Elvis
Loves horses and her boyfriend too
She's innocent and pure. Note, she has a boyfriend. He's the bad boy who wants to be with her but feels he is not good enough.
It's a long day living in reseda
There's a freeway runnin through the yard
I'm a bad boy cause I don't even miss her
I'm a bad boy for breakin her heart
He's had his chance, he broke her heart, he's saying what people say about him that he's a bad boy because he "don't even miss her", but that's not who he is, it's just what people say about him, and he does in fact miss her.
And I'm free, free fallin,fallin
Yeah I'm free, free fallin,fallin
This is a contradiction. He is free in that he is no longer involved with her, he thinks he is free, but it is in his attempt at proving how free he is, that he proves how wrapped up he is in this girl. He's free, but he's "fallin" for her so he's not really free, it's a bit of an oxymoron.
All the vampires walkin through the valley - vampires are all the bad boys sucking the good girls blood, which is obviously a metaphor, to mean that they are stealing another life-important body part; their hearts. The image is that they are waiting to prey on the good girls. And obviously when the "vampires" are finished with them, they leave the good girls dead inside, numb, not quite alive.
They move west down ventura boulevard
And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows - Now the bad boys "vampires" are waiting in the shadows ready to take advantage of the good girls hearts.
And the good girls are home with broken hearts
And I'm free, free fallin,fallin
Now I'm free, free fallin,fallin
Free fallin, now I'm free fallin, now I'm
Free fallin, now I'm free fallin, now I'm
I wanna glide down over mulholland
I wanna write her name in the sky - He doesn't know how to express his love, he knows he has to do something big and dramatic to win her back. But he doesn't think it will make a difference. Really it's him with the broken heart.
Wanna free fall out into nothin - He has somewhat accepted that there is nothing he can do, he can't control her and win her back, the only thing he can do is control his own fate and he is free fallin because he has nothing holding him back, no plans, no direction and the only thing he can do is let fate take control, although it's his choice, he can't decide how he lands.
Gonna leave this world for a while
And I'm free, free fallin'
Yeah I'm free, free fallin'
I think generally, it is a song about throwing yourself into life, knowing that you cannot control the direction the wind takes you in. The only choice you have is to jump.
