Falling Down
Brady Harris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need to sleep
Come a long long way
No time for weepin
No time for weepin
Quiet now I'm falling down
I'm falling down
I have heard
I have told
A million more
Some of them
Must have been true
But I don't know anymore
I'm falling down
Do your dance on my head
Heavy steps of the dead
Everything the snow surrounds
Falling, falling, falling, falling
Falling, falling down
I'm falling down

I'm falling down
I am spiraling downward, both physically and emotionally
I need to sleep
I require rest to recharge my mind and body
Come a long long way
I have traveled a great distance, either literally or metaphorically
No time for weepin
I cannot afford to waste time feeling sorry for myself
Quiet now I'm falling down
My descent is silent and personal
I have heard
I've listened to stories told by others
A million tales
I've heard countless stories
I have told
I've shared my own experiences with others
A million more
I have an endless supply of my own tales to tell
Some of them
Certain stories I have told
Must have been true
I think some of them were actually accurate
But I don't know anymore
I am not sure which are genuine and which are not anymore
Do your dance on my head
My problems are consuming me, making it feel like others are stepping on me
Heavy steps of the dead
The weight of my past is suffocating and oppressive
Everything the snow surrounds
My entire world has become cold and isolating
Falling, falling, falling, falling
I continue to plummet and cannot seem to grasp onto anything for stability
Falling, falling down
I am still meeting my doom
I'm falling down
I am still in the throes of spiraling downward
