Falling apart
Caskets Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hold me hopelessness
Never let me go
It's only in the imbalance
That we can be ourselves
We're all just skin and bone
I'm glued but basically broken
Inside, I'm falling apart
I'm falling apart

I think it's happening again
And I just can't quite believe
I'm having to pretend
But I'm not fooling anyone
And now I can't win either way
I'm forgetting my own name
Despite the medicine
The colours fade away
Colours fade away
I'm glued but basically broken

Inside, I'm falling apart
Not giving up, not this time
And it's right before my eyes
But I feel that
I struggle to be myself
I'm reaching out my hand
Still begging for a chance

They say a picture paints a thousand words
But the colours on the canvas
Have blurred me into the background
Screaming, but there's no sound
'Cause I've cut myself out the frame

Inside, I'm falling apart
Not giving up, not this time
And it's right before my eyes
But I feel that
I struggle to be myself
I'm reaching out my hand
Still begging for a chance
To save ourselves
A chance to call for help
Is it ok?
To feel this way?
Give me a chance to save myself

My will is broke and all my hope
Is swinging by a thread
If I had put more trust in myself
And listened to what you'd said
I'm worth more than I believe
I am more than just a face
That hides beneath the mask I wear
A mask I can't replace
'Cause I know it looks like I'm lost
But I'm just dreaming away

Inside, I'm falling apart
Not giving up, not this time
And it's right before my eyes
But I feel that
I struggle to be myself
I'm reaching out my hand




Still begging for a chance
To save ourselves, a chance to call for help

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Casket's song "Falling Apart" touch on the universal theme of feeling lost and struggling to hold on to oneself. The opening lyrics "Hold me hopelessness, never let me go" express a desire to embrace the uncertainty that comes with feeling hopeless. The subsequent lyrics, "We're all just skin and bone, I'm glued but basically broken, Inside, I'm falling apart" convey a sense of disconnect from the self, as if the singer is unable to maintain a sense of wholeness within themselves.


The second verse "I think it's happening again, And I just can't quite believe, I'm having to pretend, But I'm not fooling anyone" suggests that the singer is going through a familiar situation of feeling lost, but is finding it hard to maintain a facade of normalcy. The lyrics "They say a picture paints a thousand words, But the colors on the canvas, Have blurred me into the background, Screaming, but there's no sound, 'Cause I've cut myself out the frame" convey a sense of invisibility and feeling unheard.


The chorus "Not giving up, not this time, And it's right before my eyes, But I feel that, I struggle to be myself, I'm reaching out my hand, Still begging for a chance, To save ourselves" emphasizes a desire to hold on to oneself and not give up despite the difficulties faced. The lyrics also suggest that the singer is seeking help and support to overcome their struggles.

Inside I'm falling apart
Not giving up this time (that part is difficult)
And it's right before my eyes
But I feel that
I struggle to be myself (always)
I'm reaching out my hand
Still begging for a chance

To save ourselves (to save me)
A chance to call for help
Is it ok?
To feel this way?
Give me a chance to save myself 😭❤❤
I'm glued but basically broken 😭

This song has so much meaning to me and to all those that are falling apart on the inside 😭

Seriously. These lyrics have been my entire last year, and especially this past month. This past month has put me in the darkest point that I've been in so long. I feel every word in my soul.
