The Verdict
An Early Fall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Air is shallow not that I'd know
In the wait until we both settle in
How can I resist when I don't know
You gave me no choice
So silent just like you needed
Spare me a lot of noise
I'm not the only one
In the wait until the drug settle in
Your real intent begins when I don't know
You gave me no choice
So silent just like you
Oh let ruphenol be your guide
I'll only be out for a little while
Oh and if I should never come around
Tell my mother it was out of her hands
Your aether fills space when I'm a void
I'm not the only one left to dissolve this silence
In the wait no coercion getting in
Pathetically admit I'd rather not know
You gave me no choice
So silent just like you
Oh let ruphenol be your guide
I'll only be out for a little while
Oh and if I should never come around
Tell my mother it was out of her hands
No more silence
No lucid dreaming
No recollection
No singing me to sleep
Oh let ruphenol be your guide
I'll only be out for a little while
Oh and if I should never come around
Tell my mother it was out of her hands
The Verdict by An Early Fall is a hauntingly captivating song that delves into feelings of helplessness and fear. The song begins with the singer describing a situation in which they are in the presence of someone who is silent and unsettling. The singer admits that they are unable to resist this person's presence, even though they have not been given a choice to do so. The mention of the drug Ruphenol implies that there is some sort of manipulation or coercion involved.
As the song progresses, the singer's fear and uncertainty become increasingly palpable. They describe feeling like a void in the presence of the other person's "aether," which suggests a sort of otherworldly and unapproachable power. Despite this, the singer still tries to dissolve the silence and awkwardness between them, but there is no real connection being made.
The final lines of the song suggest a sense of resignation and acceptance. The singer acknowledges that they may never come back from the influence of the drug, and that they are powerless to stop it. The reference to telling "my mother it was out of her hands" adds another layer of melancholy to the song, implying that the singer's family may be helpless to save them.
Overall, The Verdict is a song that explores themes of fear, powerlessness, and manipulation. The use of descriptive language such as "aether" and "Ruphenol" adds a surreal and dreamlike quality to the song, emphasizing the sense of lost control and disconnection.

@COURTTV Will you cover the arrest of the sheriff from 60 DAYS IN being arrested for 15 felonies?
@Springreverb8
Everything he says is indicative of a person pondering why their lies didn’t work rather then as a person convicted of a crime they did not commit.

These aren’t the conversations of innocent people: they are the conversations of people who thought they should have gotten away with it. Big difference.
