All Falls Down Lyrics

Cover art for All Falls Down lyrics by Machine Head

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.
