As the World Falls Down Lyrics

Lyric discussion by LunarLove 

Cover art for As the World Falls Down lyrics by David Bowie

"As the pain sweeps through Makes no sense for you Every thrill has gone Wasn't too much fun at all But I'll be there for you As the world falls down" I think this song is about a girl who is naive and wants the world to be perfect and sweet. I think she is growing up and getting hurt by things and learning that there is no such thing as perfect. I think the person singing the song is in love with the girl and knows he can't prevent her from getting hurt or protect her from the darkness that is in the world but he wants to comfort her and be what does make her happy and doesn't hurt her.
