The lyrics to Killing Joke's song The Fall of Because are open to interpretation but one possible meaning is that the song is about individuals losing their passion and becoming indifferent to what is going on around them. The line "Look at the faces, who is the meaning" suggests that the characters in the song are searching for significance or direction. However, the next line "Forget the passion, feeding the dead" implies that their passion has died and they are now just going through the motions, ignoring their true desires. The line "The fall of because" could mean that the purpose or reason for their actions has been lost.

The second stanza continues this theme of apathy and indifference. "It's cold outside, you're on your own" suggests that the world can be a cruel and lonely place, and that the characters in the song are isolated. The repetition of "The fall of because" reinforces the idea that they have lost their sense of purpose or direction. The final stanza suggests a remedy for this malaise: "Losing my fear, no more passion, passion is fed, because". It could be interpreted as the songwriter saying that by overcoming his fear and rekindling his passion, he has regained his sense of purpose and meaning. However, the repeated line "the fall of because" suggests that achieving this is easier said than done.
