Falling Down
Broken Romeo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Deceit and lies and in between, haunt me
Selfish desires feed the gale
The quest for more to fill our sails
The truth is plain for all to see, believe
We close our eyes and live for dreams, it seems
Deep in your heart there is a place
I'm falling down, I'm falling down
To my knees
I'm falling down, I'm falling down
To my knees
I'm screaming out, I'm screaming out
Save me, please
I'm falling down, I'm falling down
Don't want to take anymore
I will not take anymore
The lyrics to Broken Romeo's song Falling Down are a reflection of the singer's inner turmoil and their disillusionment with the world around them. The opening lines, "The world is not as it would seem, to be / Deceit and lies and in between, haunt me" are a clear indication of the singer's distrust of what they see and hear around them. They go on to describe how they feel that selfishness and greed are driving people's actions, with lines like "Selfish desires feed the gale / The quest for more to fill our sails".
However, in the second half of the song, the singer seems to shift their focus inward, acknowledging that they too have been living for their own dreams and ignoring the harsh realities of the world. They sing, "We close our eyes and live for dreams, it seems / Deep in your heart there is a place / Where shattered dreams won't show their face". The shift from pointing fingers at others to taking responsibility for one's own actions and thoughts is a powerful one.
Overall, Falling Down is a song about the struggle between the harsh truths of life and the desire to hold on to hope and dreams. The singer is falling down to their knees, screaming for someone to save them, but at the same time, they are taking a hard look at themselves and their own role in the world.
