Sky Is Falling
Beth Hart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That shimmers like a diamond
In the night
A fire that is powerful & strong
& I call it home
Here in the dark
Where I dream myself to sleep
I feel my heart
As the carving on the stone
& yes it's home
Miracles happening every day
Millions of people
Are dying to get away
'cause the sky is falling
The angels are callin'
But I have no fear
Yes the sky is falling
The angels are callin' me
Yes I can hear
That the sky is falling
Opening up
I stretch my arms so wide
I feel my love
It's fallin' right out of the sky
& home
Yes I call it home
It's on the good side
On the good side
In "Sky Is Falling," by Beth Hart, the lyrics describe a personal and spiritual journey. The opening lines set the scene of a dark night with a glimmer of light that the singer considers home. The light is both powerful and strong, revealing a sense of security and comfort. The singer then goes on to describe the dark as a place where she can dream herself to sleep, and it is where she feels her heart is timeless, much like a carving on a stone. The singer then acknowledges that miracles happen every day and that people are dying to get away, but she finds peace knowing that while the sky is falling and the angels are calling, she has no fear. In fact, she hears the call and feels connected to the good side of things.
The reference to the sky falling that is repeated throughout the song is a metaphor that emphasizes the notion of change, chaos, and uncertainty. The singer acknowledges that things around her may be falling apart or ending, but she remains grounded in her faith, which remains a source of hope and stability.
The meaning of the song is personal and intimate, as it describes a spiritual, introspective, and reflective journey towards inner peace and acceptance. The lyrics resonate with the audience because of their universal themes of resilience, hope, and finding a sense of home.
