Waving all of your feathers and shaking your ass
You should be thanking me
For giving you what you never afforded
And with all that you're covered
In poor little birdie it's making you crass
Yeah you're burning the bridges
In all of my business I got it recorded
Keep counting your gold
'Cause it's all your fault
Losing what you hold
Girl you almost made it through the fall
Girl you almost made it through the fall
Girl you almost made it through the fall
Girl you almost made it through the fall
Girl you almost made it through the

In the lyrics of BANKS's song "The Fall," the singer confronts someone who seems to be flaunting their perceived success and status, symbolized by the imagery of "walking around, waving all of your feathers and shaking your ass." The singer suggests that this individual should be grateful for the opportunities they have been given, which they could not have achieved on their own. Despite being seemingly covered in material possessions, the person's behavior is described as crass and destructive, with bridges being burned and actions being recorded.
The repetition of the phrase "Keep counting your gold" emphasizes the theme of materialism and misplaced priorities. The person is portrayed as being responsible for their own downfall, as they are losing what they once held dear in pursuit of shallow desires. The chorus, repeatedly stating "Girl you almost made it through the fall," suggests that this person was on the brink of overcoming their challenges but ultimately succumbed to their own shortcomings.
The lyrics also delve into the psychological aspect of the person's behavior, attributing it to jealousy and the pressure of aging. The singer points out that the individual's actions are not helping their situation but rather exacerbating it. The mention of "getting older" and the pressures that come with it adds a layer of vulnerability and self-awareness to the narrative, suggesting that the person's actions stem from a place of insecurity and fear.
The final verse introduces a metaphorical scenario where the person is depicted as trying to sabotage the singer's success, symbolized by trying to pull down ripe peaches. The imagery of "pushing me in the ocean" and being put in a mode suggests a sense of betrayal and manipulation. The repeated mention of the phrase "Girl you almost made it through the fall" serves as a poignant reminder of the potential for redemption and growth, yet hints at the inevitability of repeating past mistakes unless meaningful change is embraced. Through vivid imagery and introspective themes, BANKS's "The Fall" captures a complex narrative of ambition, reflection, and consequence.

And you're walking around
Despite your actions, you are confidently strutting around
Waving all of your feathers and shaking your ass
Showing off and flaunting what you have
You should be thanking me
Instead of being ungrateful, you should show gratitude towards me
For giving you what you never afforded
I provided you with something you could not afford on your own
And with all that you're covered
Despite all the material possessions you have
In poor little birdie it's making you crass
Your behavior is becoming rude and vulgar
Yeah you're burning the bridges
You are ruining relationships and connections

Your actions
Ain't helping your case
Are not beneficial for you
Still tripping to slip in
Continuing to make mistakes in order to achieve something
your own dirty fingers to dip in the chicken now
Trying to take advantage of the situation for personal gain
And you knew that my peaches
You were aware of my vulnerabilities
is ripe for the pickin' and you tried to pull it down
You attempted to exploit my weakness
This is something you put in the motion
You initiated these actions
We all know how you get with a notion
Your behavior is predictable when you have an idea
Was the sun in the morning
It was a bright start
then you started mourning or something
But then you became sad or regretful
And that's how it went down
That's how the situation unfolded
You pushed me in the ocean
You betrayed me
Better yet you put me in the mode
You put me in a negative state of mind
Wrong direction to put you in motion
Leading you astray
I get it you miss doing things at the 9-0
You miss the excitement of the past
