Alana Grace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No help and no where to hide
You are close behind and the reason I won't stay
no way to be by your side
you are always working on me
I'm gravity when you're around
(Chorus)
You fall and I fall baby
it's out of my control
and I am thrown like a domino
You started something and I can't stop it now
Always looked away
but with you I want to stare
I don't care
a sight to be saved
and it's beautiful
but you've got me on the edge
no ledge
and nothing to hold
you forever run into me
I'm gravity when you're around...
(Chorus x2)
You started something and i am going down
Down i go like a domino (x3)
You started something and i can't stop it now
Alana Grace's song "Domino" describes a person who is running away from themselves, and someone who is chasing them. The person chasing them is the reason why they won't stay in one place. They are always working on them, they are the gravity when they're around. The person tries to look away, but they can't help but stare. They don't care about anything else because what they're looking at is beautiful. However, the person who's chasing them has them on the edge with nothing to hold onto. They keep running into them, making them fall down like a domino. The person who is chasing them started something that they can't stop now.
The lyrics of this song are pretty straightforward. The person who is chasing the singer has a strong gravitational pull, and no matter how hard they try to resist it, they eventually get pulled down. The domino effect is a metaphor for this, as one person falls, so does the other.
