Falling Into Place
Abandon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got lost chasing a dream
Distance grows, Far from are we
Got lost chasing dreams...
We fall into place...
The lyrics to Abandon's song Falling Into Place describe the struggle of the singer to learn from their mistakes and instead getting lost while chasing a dream. The first line suggests that the singer has a lack of self-awareness and the tendency to repeat their mistakes. They have not learned to learn from their mistakes, and as a result, they continue to make them. The singer then talks about chasing a dream, which seems to be the reason why they make the same mistakes repeatedly. This pursuit of their dream has created a distance between themselves and others. They cannot connect with people because they are too consumed by their dream. Coming back to the chorus, it is interesting how the phrase "We fall into place" is used. It could be interpreted in two different ways. Firstly, it could be about falling into a comfortable routine or settling down somewhere after being lost for a while. On the other hand, it could also mean that after chasing their dreams, they come to the realization that everything has fallen into place.
In conclusion, the lyrics of Falling into Place by Abandon explore the theme of chasing one's dreams and the consequences that come with it. The repetition of getting lost, distance, and falling into place all work together to form a picture of the journey of chasing one's dreams, which is full of ups and downs.
