Jumper
Adaliah Lyrics

A sharp splash of glass upon my broken grave.
The sound of shattered glass emphasizes the finality of the singer's decision to jump off a windowsill, which he relates to his own grave.

There's only one way back home.
He has decided that death is the only way to return to his true home, presumably in the afterlife.

Death looks into his eyes; he looks back at his face.
The singer faces his own mortality and accepts it without flinching or turning away.

Cold windowsill beneath his bare feet; he's not the man to make these kinds of decisions.
The cold, hard surface of the windowsill where he stands represents the existential reality of his decision, as well as the vulnerability and exposed state he feels in making it.

Maybe someone will catch me.
Despite his hopelessness, the artist still has a glimmer of optimism that someone may intervene or save him from his fate.

Maybe someone will save me.
His urgency and desperation for help is further emphasized by the repetition of this line, which underscores his need for intervention before it's too late.

Short breathes of air, the only thing left to take.
The lack of oxygen and the breathlessness he's feeling are the only sensations he has left before his inevitable death, and even they will be extinguished soon.

He closes his eyes and feels the wind on his face.
In his final moments, he takes solace in the physical sensation and sensory experience of the wind, perhaps viewing it as a form of comfort or farewell.

"These pillars of hell…"
The artist sees the tall buildings and skyscrapers around him as ominous and oppressive towers of despair, emphasizing his sense of isolation and entrapment.

Destruction of trust, they fall to the ground.
The disintegration of the artist's trust in himself and the world around him is symbolically represented by the fall of the buildings.

Descending to heaven, a breathe of fresh air.
The descent towards death is interpreted as an ascent towards heaven, as well as a release from the pain and suffering of life.

The whole way down.
The finality of his decision is further emphasized by these words, which suggest an inevitable and irreversible outcome.

He goes back to his childhood, to where he felt at home.
In his final moments, he reminisces on the past and his childhood, perhaps looking for a sense of nostalgia and comfort before his death.

He envisions his mothers face, and smiles one last time.
The image of his mother's face and the joy it brings him represent the desire for human connection and the longing for happiness, even in the face of death.

Will he feel this long enough, will he remember her face then.
The singer wavers between the desire to hold onto the memory of his mother's face and the fear that even such a beautiful image will fade from his mind as he dies.

Will I see her again? Will I see her again? Will I still wake up when I hit the ground?
The repetition of this line emphasizes his hopelessness and the desperation for a sense of continuity or reunification with loved ones after death.

No, don't let me forget. Please don't let me forget. What i fought for this long, please don't take it away.
In his final moments, he pleads to not forget the things he has fought and lived for, underscoring his fears of being forgotten or lost in oblivion.

I came so far only to cause more pain.
The singer sees his own life as a source of pain, and his decision to commit suicide as an ironic way of causing more harm to those around him.

I'll leave a scar along with every shattered dream.
The destruction wrought by his own life and the aftermath of his death are viewed by the singer as inextricably tied, and his impact on the world will be lasting and negative.

I'm falling so fast, they can't see through my eyes.
The artist feels unseen and misunderstood by the world, even as he falls to his death.

They're so blinded by this act, but its much more than that.
The people who witness his suicide are viewed by the artist as unable to see the depth of his pain and the complexity of his situation, reducing his death to a mere act.

Lifeless bodies, they can't go back home. Fallen bodies, broken families.
The aftermath of suicide is shown to affect not just the person who dies but also the people around them, emphasizing the tragic ripple effects that such an act can cause.
