Can't Quite Call it a Fall
BulletProof Messenger Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Verse:]
You can't quite call it a fall until you've lost it all
Why look until tomorrow
Though you keep on counting the cards you still won't call them all
You push you're cards aside

(Pre chorus)
Look at your face in the mirror

See the scenes gettin clearer
That you'll never stop runnin, why don't you stop runnin
To the place deep inside don't you try to go hide
Cause it won't be there
It won't be there

[Chorus:]
Because you just don't care
No reason there
That you'll never stop runnin
Why don't you stop runnin
And its all too clear ill disappear
You stand alone, you're on your own

[Verse 2:]
Not free from feelin the fall but I won't leave it all
And keep it all inside
Because you won't say something until its gone then leave it all
You leave it all behind

(Pre Chorus)
[Chorus:]

[Bridge:]
Don't back away from confrontation
(Cause it will change around I'll make you see somehow)
You can't ignore this situation
(You don't get it, no you don't get it, get it)

(Slow bridge)
Because you just don't care, no reasons there
Cause its all too, its all too clear
And its all too clear ill dissappear
Cause you'll never stop runnin
Why don't you stop runnin
(2x)
Because you just don't.. Care

[Chorus:]
(End/Refrain)

Overall Meaning

The song "Can't Quite Call it a Fall" by BulletProof Messenger talks about a situation in which the singer realizes the futility of running from their problems. The first verse talks about how one cannot truly call their situation a "fall" until they have lost everything. The individual, in this case, is continuously counting their cards and pushing them aside, signifying how they are avoiding the inevitable.

The pre-chorus highlights the singer's struggle with their inner self. They are unable to stop running from their problems and are reminded that they need to look deeper, where hiding won't work. This is further emphasized in the chorus, where it is revealed that the individual is so disconnected that they don't care. They don't have any reasons to run, and they do not want to face the truth.

The second verse talks more about the consequences of running from problems. The singer admits to knowing that running is not the solution but still keeps everything inside until it's too late. This leads them to leave everything behind and disappear. The bridge urges the individual to confront their problems and not run away from them. The slow bridge highlights the futility of running and letting things slide.

Overall, the song brings out the concept that running away from problems is not the solution. Everyone has to face the music at some point in life, and facing problems is merely a part of it.
