Falling Slowly
Chester See Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You'll make it now
Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You'll make it now
The opening lines of Chester See's song 'Falling Slowly' express an intriguing dilemma – a desire for someone that the singer does not yet know. The more mysterious and undefined this person is, the more the singer wants them. Perhaps, it is the element of uncertainty that makes the person all the more irresistible. The admission of being fooled by words gives the impression of a longing to make a real connection with the person in question. However, it is not always easy to react or respond when the heart is at stake and there is a game that has yet to play out. The line "games that never amount to more than they're meant will play themselves out" suggests that the singer is biding their time, waiting to see how things develop.
The chorus of the song uses the imagery of a sinking boat and home. The sinking boat refers to a situation that is deteriorating or falling apart, while home conjures images of safety and security. The line "we've still got time" suggests that there is still a chance to turn things around and that all hope is not lost. The singer urges the listener to "raise your hopeful voice" and reminds them that they have a choice. Despite the difficulties, the singer is optimistic that the person will be able to make it through the rough patch and ultimately succeed.
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's emotions. The use of the phrase "eyes that know me" suggests a sense of intimacy and familiarity with the person. However, the following line "and I can't go back" implies a sense of regret or loss. The singer describes being erased and painted black by their moods, which could be interpreted as a person struggling with depression or anxiety. The final lines of the verse offer words of encouragement to the listener, stating that they have suffered enough and it is time for them to win.

I don't know you
Despite not having met, I am drawn to you
But I want you
I feel a strong desire to be with you, despite not knowing you
All the more for that
My attraction to you grows stronger despite the mystery surrounding you
Words fall through me
I struggle to find words to express my feelings towards you
And always fool me
The words I do find often fail to convey my true emotions
And I can't react
I feel powerless to do anything about my growing attraction towards you
And games that never amount
The games people play usually never result in anything meaningful
To more than they're meant
Games usually end up empty and meaningless
Will play themselves out
The games will run their course and result in nothing substantial
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We are lost and aimless, but we still have time to return to where we belong
We've still got time
There is still time left to make things right
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
Speak positively and confidently, for you still have the power to choose your path
You'll make it now
You have the strength and ability to overcome any obstacle right now
Falling slowly, eyes that know me
I am gradually falling deeply in love with someone who seems to understand me
And I can't go back
I cannot return to a time before I felt this way about this person
Moods that take me and erase me
I am overwhelmed by feelings that often leave me feeling empty
And I'm painted black
I feel trapped in a cycle of negativity and despair
You have suffered enough
You have gone through enough pain and hardship
And warred with yourself
You have battled your inner demons for too long
It's time that you won
It's time for you to emerge victorious and find peace within yourself
