Warning signs
Forming cracks in the cold day light
Feel it falter again
Feel it falter again

Disinclined
Don′t expect to be paid in kind
Working hard to pretend
Working hard to pretend

Keeps me holding back but stronger
I lose it with you and fall through
Just to stall a little longer
I lose it with you and I lose and fall through
Next to you but all alone
Keeps me holding back but stronger
I lose it with you and fall through

For all time
Can you admit it was borderline
Trying hard to contend
Trying hard to contend

Course is run
Standing firm as it comes undone
Feel it falter again
Feel it falter again

Keeps me holding back but stronger
I lose it with you and I lose and fall through
Just to stall a little longer
I lose it with you and I lose and fall through
Next to you but all alone
Holding back won't make you stronger
I lose it with you and fall through
Breathing out to hold my own
Just to stall a little longer
I lose it with you and I lose and fall through




Keeps me holding back but stronger
I lose it with you and I lose and fall through

Overall Meaning

The song "Warning Signs" talks about the struggles that come with maintaining a relationship. The lyrics suggest that there are cracks forming in the relationship in the cold light of day and the singer is feeling disinclined to continue. They also mention working hard to pretend and trying hard to contend, giving the impression that the relationship is no longer as strong as it once was.


The chorus talks about how being next to the other person feels like being all alone, despite the fact that they are physically together. The singer tries to hold back their feelings, but they are not becoming stronger as a result. They allude to losing it with the other person and falling through, suggesting that they may be reaching a breaking point.


The lyrics paint a picture of a relationship that is failing, with the singer struggling to maintain a façade of strength and stability. They are losing themselves in the relationship, falling through, and just stalling to try and keep things together a little bit longer.

Well when it sounds distinctly like the dirty parts of Panic Room by Camelphat, which is a big record, are you surprised?
