Gravity
★Poets Of The Fall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looking around for a better time again, but yesterday ain't running on this track
Unpredictable fortune, my past, lights up my future, at last, ending my torture
Like gravity like love,
You get up after you fall
Like gravity like love
Like gravity like love,
You get up after you fall, I ain't afraid no more
Out of no reason I've decided to stay, present a solution, to the problem,
Typical of me, that I concentrate on the destination so much that I miss the journey there and back
Unpredictable fortune, my past, lights up my future, at last, ending my torture
Like gravity like love,
You get up after you fall
Like gravity like love
I'm not afraid anymore
Like gravity like love,
You get up after you fall, I ain't afraid no more
If gravity was love, if gravity was love, if gravity was love...
The song "Gravity" by ★Poets of the Fall is an introspective and reflective piece on the past, present, and future. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the singer standing alone in the rain at a train station, lost in thought, looking for a better time. The singer's thoughts are consumed with memories of the past and the uncertainty of the future. The lyrics suggest that the singer has finally found some semblance of peace in his life, "unpredictable fortune, my past, lights up my future, at last, ending my torture."
The chorus of the song, "Like gravity like love, you get up after you fall," speaks to the idea that, no matter how difficult life may become, we always find a way to rise again. The singer is no longer afraid because he has come to terms with the unpredictability of life, and he understands that like gravity, love too can be a force that propels him forward.
Overall, "Gravity" is a poignant and emotional song that taps into the core of the human condition. It is a reminder that even in the darkest of moments, there is always a glimmer of hope, and it is up to us to find it and hold onto it.
