All Fall Down
Alan Walker ft. Noah Cyrus & Digital Farm Animals Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What's the trick? I wish I knew
I'm so done with thinking through all the things I could've been
And I know you want me, too
All it takes is that one look at you and I run right back to you
You cross that line and it's time to say F you

What's the point in saying that when you know how I'll react?
You think you can just take it back, but shit just don't work like that
You're the drug that I'm addicted to, and I want you so bad
Guess I'm stuck with you, and that's that

'Cause when it all falls down, then whatever
When it don't work out for the better
If it just ain't right, and it's time to say goodbye
When it all falls down, when it all falls down
I'll be fine
I'll be fine
You're the drug that I'm addicted to
And I want you so bad, but I'll be fine

Why we fight? I don't know
We say what hurts the most
Oh, I tried staying cold, but you take it personal
All these firing shots and making ground
It's way too hard to cope, but I still can't let you go

'Cause when it all falls down, then whatever
When it don't work out for the better
If it just ain't right, and it's time to say goodbye
When it all falls down, when it all falls down
I'll be fine
I'll be fine
You're the drug that I'm addicted to and I want you so bad
But I'll be fine

I'll be fine, fine, fine
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine
I'll be fine, fine, fine
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine
I'll be fine, fine, fine
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine
I'll be fine, fine, fine
Fine, fine,fine, fine, fine

'Cause when it all falls down, then whatever (Then whatever, babe)
When it don't work out for the better (For the better)
If it just ain't right, and it's time to say goodbye
When it all falls down (When it all, when it all)
When it all falls down (When it all falls down)
I'll be fine
(Fine, fine, fine) I'll be fine (I'll be fine)




You're the drug that I'm addicted to and I want you so bad
But I'll be fine (I'll be fine), and that's that

Overall Meaning

The singer seems to be aware of the detrimental qualities of their partner but is still drawn to them addictively. The lyrics highlight the power dynamics inherent in this kind of relationship, as the singer recognizes how their partner pushes them to the brink of anger and frustration yet still cannot let go. They put up a strong facade, pretending to be indifferent to their partner's actions, but deep down, they know that they are unable to resist their allure. In the end, they accept their fate by declaring that they will be fine, regardless of how painful it is to be addicted to someone who is no good for them.
