Amy Diamond Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're playing your pieces
You're setting me up
Trying to knock me down
You don't have a reason
That I can believe in
To push me round

You're creating a highway of lies

One by one

No matter what you say or do
I won't fall like a domino
Matter how you sway (you sway)
The truth, (ah, ah, ahh)
I won't fall like a domino
I won't fall like a
I won't fall like a
I won't fall like a domino

I won't fall like a
I won't fall like a
I won't fall like a domino

You're writing me letters
You think you know better
What's right and wrong
You think you're perfection
And that my direction
Just doesn't belong

You're making a fool of yourself
You're so far gone

No matter what you say or do
I won't fall like a domino
Matter how you sway (you sway)
The truth, (ah, ah, ahh)
I won't fall like a domino
I won't fall like a
I won't fall like a
I won't fall like a domino

I won't fall like a
I won't fall like a
I won't fall like a domino

You'll reap the things you sow
You'll go down like a domino
Just watch me from below
I won't fall like a
I won't fall like a domino

(No matter what you say) or do
I won't fall like a domino
Matter how you sway (you sway)
The truth, (ah, ah, ahh)
I won't fall like a domino
I won't fall like a
I won't fall like a
I won't fall like a domino

(I won't fall like a)
I won't fall like a
I won't fall like a domino

(Aahh, aahh, aahh)
I won't fall like a domino

(Aahh, aahh, aahh)
I won't fall like a domino

Overall Meaning

In Amy Diamond's song "Domino," the lyrics describe the singer's refusal to succumb to someone's manipulative behaviors. The first verse lays out the situation, with the other person "playing their pieces" and "setting [the singer] up" in an attempt to "knock [them] down." The singer sees through the other person's efforts and notes that there isn't a "reason that [they] can believe in" for this treatment. The second verse elaborates on the specific actions the other person is taking, such as writing letters and thinking they "know better" than the singer. The chorus repeatedly asserts the singer's resolve to not "fall like a domino," no matter how much the other person tries to sway them or create a "highway of lies."

Overall, the song is a strong statement about standing up to manipulation and refusing to be a pawn in someone else's game. The repeated image of the domino serves as a metaphor for how the other person wants to control the singer, but also implies the potential for a chain reaction - if the singer were to "fall," then others might follow suit.
