Blessthefall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just hear me out, I can't remember
Swallowed by fear these thoughts betray me
It's had it's hold on me for far too long now
Don't tear me down
If it's a dream, where do I go?
If it's a dream, I've lost all concept
It's too late, it's too late, they won't let me go
They're sinking around and around you
As your head starts to weaken
Your body's the reason (reason)
So how can you say that's enough?
As your head starts to weaken
Your body's the reason (reason)
This is not enough
I fell asleep inside your arms
I fell asleep inside
I need to find myself (find myself)
Just let me help myself
Find yourself (find yourself)
Before it comes to an end
Don't be afraid (it's almost over now)
Don't fade away (we're not the same)
It's too late, it's too late, they won't let me go
They're sinking around and around you
As your head starts to weaken
Your body's the reason (reason)
So how can you say that's enough?
As your head starts to weaken
Your body's the reason (reason)
This is not enough
I fell asleep inside your arms
I fell asleep inside your arms
I feel it sinking in
I feel it slipping away
I feel it sinking in
I feel it slipping away (away)
I feel it sinking in
I feel it slipping away (away)
I feel it sinking in
I feel it slipping away (away)
I feel it sinking in
I feel it slipping away (away)
I feel it sinking in
I feel it slipping away
(So how can you say that's enough?)
I feel it sinking in
I feel it slipping away (this is not enough)
The lyrics of Blessthefall's song "Déjà Vu" contemplate the concept of being lost and searching for something or someone to help. The first verse highlights the feeling of being lost and forgetting one's emotions, calling out for someone to "find and save" them before their time runs out. The following lines reflect the confusion between reality and fantasy, questioning whether one is dreaming, and if so, whether they are still within their subconscious.
The chorus repeats the sentiment that it may be too late for salvation, as an intangible force seems to be drawing the singer in. It is followed by a plea to find oneself and help oneself before time runs out. The bridge brings the focus to the face of someone, possibly the one who can bring salvation, making a final plea to not fade away.
Overall, the pattern of the song lyrics reinforces an urgent longing for guidance and meaning, leading to a feeling of impending doom due to the fear of not knowing how to free oneself from the feeling of being lost.
