Boys of Fall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can′t resist this
I can't resist this toxic need to feel anything
′Cause paranoia finds its way in
I can't help it, I can't make it go away
As the surface collapses let it bury me
′Cause I believe that nothing′s meant to happen anymore
I feed on nothing
My love, can you feel what's happening?
Save me, please
My eyes are heavy as the dark creeps in
′Cause I don't believe in this no more
Tell me the weight in which I hold, its worth it
Do you believe me or is it too late?
To turn away
This haunting place
To leave you all
Burn every single memory you have of me
It means nothing, forgive me
Grant me mercy
For all that I′ve done wrong
'Cause I believe that nothing's meant to happen anymore
If that′s true, what′s this for?
Does it mean nothing?
My love, can you feel what's happening?
Save me, please
My eyes are heavy as the dark creeps in
′Cause I don't believe in this no more
T-t-tell me the weight in which I hold is worth it
Do you believe me or is it too late?
Take away everything that I hold close
As you place the dirt over my bones
I′ll always just remain a ghost to you
My mistakes have kept me far too
Long at a distance with the ones I love
I watched it change me, and it's just too late
My love, can you feel what′s happening?
My eyes are heavy as the dark creeps in
The lyrics to Boys of Fall's song Midnight convey a sense of hopelessness and despair. The opening lines "I feel the weight slip around my neck / I can't resist this / I can't resist this toxic need to feel anything" indicate that the singer is wrestling with inner turmoil, and that they are willing to seek out any emotion, no matter how negative, in order to alleviate it. The lines "I can't help it, I can't make it go away / As the surface collapses let it bury me" suggest that the singer is resigned to their fate, and that they are willing to succumb to the darkness that is consuming them.
The chorus of the song, which is repeated twice, emphasizes the sense of futility that pervades the lyrics. The lines "Cause I believe that nothing's meant to happen anymore / If that's true, what's this for?" suggest that the singer has lost faith in the idea that life has any meaning or purpose. The lines "I feed on nothing / My love, can you feel what's happening? / Save me, please / My eyes are heavy as the dark creeps in" further reinforce the idea that the singer is in a state of despair and is reaching out to someone for help.
The final lines of the song, "My love, can you feel what's happening? / My eyes are heavy as the dark creeps in" leave the listener with a sense of unresolved tension. It's unclear whether the singer will find the help they need, or whether they will succumb to the darkness that surrounds them.

You'd be surprised how many bands pour everything into an album, and then one up themselves every time thereafter, but never really take off or get picked up by somebody because they won't sell out. Happens all the time
