Blessthefall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You tell yourself that you can't believe them
They're gonna say what they want you to hear
You should be dead now just like the rest
You took your shots, and I swallowed the bullets
Did your worst and I'm dying to prove it
Gonna say what they want you to hear
They'll forget you, and everything that you are
Stop pretending, you're just like the rest
I'm where you wanna be and I can see straight 'til the end
When the lights go out you know that it's all or it's nothing
I know that we, we will hold our own
When the lights go out you know that it's all or it's nothing
We won't fall
The stage is set, the panic's starting to grow
You see the terror in no tomorrow
They're gonna say what they want you to hear
You should be dead now just like the rest
They will forget you, and everything that you are
So stop pretending, you're just like the rest
I'm where you wanna be, and I can see straight 'til the end
When the lights go out you know that it's all or it's nothing
I know that we, we will hold our own
When the lights go out you know that it's all or it's nothing
We won't fall
This lives in all of us, this lives in all of you
This lives in all of us, this lives in all of you
This lives in all of us, this lives in all of you
I can see in the light of your eyes, I can see through all the lies
This lives in all of us, inside of all of us
I can see in the light of your eyes, I can see through all the lies
This lives in all of us, inside of all of us
Inside of us all
Inside us all
(This lives in all of us, this lives in all of you)
(This lives in all of us, this lives in all of you)
The opening lines of the song set the tone for the rest of the song by introducing the idea of disillusionment with the world. The singer is already aware that people are not always genuine, and they often say what the other person wants to hear instead of being truthful. The next line suggests that the singer has experienced a traumatic event in his/her life that they were able to evade. In the next few lines, the singer is taunted for being alive and told that he should have died with the rest. This line connects to the previous line about experiencing a traumatic event, and it suggests that the singer might be suffering from some sense of survivor's guilt.
The chorus of the song serves to reinforce the idea of resilience despite the harshness of the world. The singer has been through difficulties, but he/she is not going to fall. The lines "I'm where you want to be, and I can see straight till the end," and "I know that we, we will hold our own," emphasize that the singer is committed to seeing things through to the end, even when others give up. The song's closing lines suggest that everyone has the potential to be resilient.

@Ims18
Hollow Bodies is their best album. I still like the band but this sound fits them so well
@OpTiC_DaD
I agree i still go back to Hollow Bodies all the time 🤘🏻
@sakamoto8354
Same. I wish they explored this sound more because To Those Left Behind is a bit disappointing and Hard Feelings was alright.
@shaquileoatmeal7365
The entire album is timeless....it's just so good
@Poroner
This album was soooo ahead of its time. It's insane.
@nathandaniels20
Or the Last of the good Metalcore.
@shaquileoatmeal7365
We're lucky
