Break My Fall
Copperpot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Higher and higher, across the sky.
I had to leave it all behind, but I can't say good-bye.
Everything's ahead of me, trying to find what I really need, but I can't sort this out.
As the days go by, reflection leads me to wonder why.
You would listen.
I was there once.
You could break my fall.
Take me far away from here.
I don't care, and nothing's clear as the long days fade out.




Trying hard to find myself...
Nothing ever seems to help but it always works out.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Copperpot's song Break My Fall depict a journey of self-discovery and the struggle to find purpose and direction in life. The first two lines, "Higher and higher, across the sky. I had to leave it all behind, but I can't say goodbye." suggest a sense of soaring towards an unknown future or perhaps escape from a difficult past. However, the reluctance to say goodbye suggests that there is something holding the singer back from completely moving on.


The following lines, "Everything's ahead of me, trying to find what I really need, but I can't sort this out" indicate the confusion and uncertainty that surround the singer's present situation. There is a sense of searching for something important or necessary, but an inability to identify what that might be. As the days go by, the lack of clarity and direction leads to reflection and questioning why, which could be an indication of the singer's frustration with their current circumstance.


The lyrics, "You would listen. I was there once. You could break my fall. Take me far away from here" create an image of a person who once had someone or something to rely on but now feels lost and alone. The plea for someone to break their fall and take them away from their current situation shows a desire to escape or start anew. The final line, "Trying hard to find myself... Nothing ever seems to help but it always works out" suggests that despite the challenges and struggles faced, the singer still has hope and a sense that everything will ultimately fall into place.
