Fallout
Adam Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the firewall breaks it's lifelong truth
When the battleground falls you count on Ruth
All the pieces fall around
And the fallout is abound
I can see all the wires passing by
Let 'em play when they honor day by day
All the pieces fall around
And the fallout is abound
One fallen, one calling, on and on
I can say when the final days are gone




You will know by the sound of all the songs
All the pieces fall around

Overall Meaning

"Fallout" by Adam's Song is a lyrically powerful song that explores themes of betrayal, loss, and the aftermath of destruction. The chorus in particular speaks to the idea that when chaos and destruction happen, we have to rely on the people we trust and the strength of our own survival instincts to pick up the pieces and move forward.


The metaphorical references to "firewall" and "battleground" are reminiscent of a warzone, and the lyrics paint a vivid picture of destruction all around with wires passing by. The line "You will know by the sound of all the songs" suggests that music is a powerful means of expression in times of crisis, and that the collective voice of survivors can be heard through music.


In the bridge, the repeated lines "one fallen, one calling, on and on / I can say when the final days are gone" speak to the personal toll of loss and the promise that life, even in the face of destruction, will go on.


Overall, "Fallout" is a moving tribute to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
