Fall In
Cloud Nothings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know you're not the same
You wait for days and days
To hear them say your name
I wanna be like you
I think you know the truth
I wanna be like you
Show me what I should do.
Nothing left for you to use
The lyrics of Cloud Nothings' Fall In speak of a person seeking permission to behave in a certain way, possibly wanting to emulate someone they admire. The usage of the phrase "you know you're not the same" suggests a feeling of inferiority or inadequacy in comparison to the person they want to be like. The line "You wait for days and days to hear them say your name" conveys a sense of longing for recognition and validation from someone the person looks up to.
The repetition of "I wanna be like you" in the chorus emphasizes the desire to emulate this person and suggests a lack of sense of self. The line "Show me what I should do" further emphasizes this. The repetition of the phrase "nothing left for you to use" at the end of the song could suggest a sense of emptiness or desolation, as if the person realizes that imitating someone else doesn't necessarily bring fulfillment or a sense of purpose.

Fall in, fall in, fall in
Fall in, fall in, fall in
Fall in, fall in, fall in
Fall in, fall in, fall in
Permission to behave
You know you're not the same
You wait for days and days
For me to say your name
I want to be like you
I think you know the truth
I want to be like you
Show me what I should do
Nothing left for you to use
Nothing left for you to use
Nothing left for you to use
Nothing left
Fall in, fall in, fall in
Fall in, fall in, fall in
Fall in, fall in, fall in
Fall in, fall in, fall in
It's such an awful game
They want to play with me
They walk into the shade
Try to escape the blame
They don't believe in me
Why should I agree
They don't believe in me
I should cooperate
Nothing left for you to use
Nothing left for you to use
Nothing left for you to use
Nothing left
Fall in, fall in, fall in
Fall in, fall in, fall in
Fall in, fall in, fall in
Fall in, fall in, fall in

Pretty depressing song, all in all, but I kinda like it too

Dylan is one of the best songwriters of his era.

Few things fil me with as much unbridled joy as a new Cloud Nothings video. May this band live long and prosper.

I saw this video on the TVs in the campus lounge today. It was a total "fuck yeah" moment. I remember meeting these guys at a free show awhile back. It was fun.
