As I Fall
Andy James Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nowhere To Hide
From The Things I've Done
And The Pain Inside
I Can't Find A Way Out
Cause Everywhere I Turn
I Just Find More Doubt
I'm Afraid To Love
Without A Heart
But This Hell Is Enough
And Without You I'd Fall Apart
Theres Nowhere To Go
Nowhere To Run
Only If You Known
The Things I've Done
I'm Afraid To Love
Without A Heart
But This Hell Is Enough
And Without You I'd Fall Apart
I Want To Be Free
More Than I Am Now
I Need To See
But I Don't Know How
I'm Afraid To Love
Without A Heart
But This Hell Is Enough
And Without You I'd Fall Apart
Theres No One To Love
Without You
No Angels Above
Without You
I'm Afraid To Love
Without You
Theres No Love
Without You
The lyrics to Andy James’s song “As I Fall” seem to be centered around a feeling of being trapped and unable to escape from the pain and regret caused by one’s past mistakes. The opening lines, “There’s nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, from the things I’ve done and the pain inside,” set the stage for this theme. The singer feels a sense of desperation, unable to move past their guilt, and as if they are constantly being pursued by their internal demons.
The chorus repeats a powerful sentiment: “I’m afraid to love without a heart, but this hell is enough, and without you I’d fall apart.” The singer has difficulty trusting themselves and others due to their past behavior, yet they recognize that they need love in order to heal and move forward.
The bridge takes a turn towards hope when the singer asserts their desire for freedom and the need to see a way out of their current situation. However, they are still dependent on the love provided by their partner, as evidenced by the repeated phrase “without you” at the end of each stanza.
Overall, the lyrics of “As I Fall” convey a complex emotional state, characterized by a desire for redemption, fear of vulnerability and doubt in one’s own ability to change.
