Fall
Butter Finger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now that its gone?
There's nobody left to call you anymore
Its all coming down on you, its all raining down,
Did you have anymore to say?
You've lost all there is to lose
So what are you gonna do.
If your cup is empty
I will fill it up,
And I will come around and pick you up
If you fall, fall, fall. If you fall fall fall.
Now Saturday came and went,
Like every day goes. (every day, every day)
Days never last that long,
Only those.
You took all my pictures down,
''cause your thinking it might make you feel better
To pretend.
But its just the same old room,
So what are you going to do?
[Chorus]
Oh ya, oh ya, oh ya hey
(I'll pick you up if you fall,
I'll pick you up if you fall)
You can't come down,
And you won't turn around.
Now that you're gone are you still moving on.
Did you fall, fall, fall?
[Chorus]
Oh hey, oh ya oh ya hey
(I'll pick you up if you fall x4)
The song Fall by Butterfingers is a reflection on loss and the aftermath of it. It opens with a question, asking what the singer is going to do now that it's gone (it's unclear what the "it" is, but it could be referring to a relationship, a job, or something else entirely). The following lines reveal that the singer has nobody left to call and everything is coming down on them, leaving them with nothing to say. The chorus offers a glimmer of hope, with the singer telling the singer that they will be there to fill their cup and pick them up if they fall.
The second verse of the song continues this theme of loss and its impact on the singer's life. They took down all the pictures, thinking it might make them feel better to pretend, but it's just the same old room. The chorus repeats, offering comfort and support in the face of uncertainty.
The bridge of the song is a little more upbeat, with the singer repeating "oh ya, oh ya, oh ya hey" and reassuring the listener that they will pick them up if they fall. The final lines of the song ask if the singer fell, and repeat the chorus one more time.
Overall, Fall is a song about the difficult process of moving on after experiencing loss. It acknowledges the pain and confusion that can come with such a situation, while offering a message of hope and support.
