Noise On The Line
Darkness Falls Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I could see
I wonder where I’ll start
If you could breathe
Into my ear and whisper
How you wanted it

I’ll see all the things
You’ll go all the way
To me and say
I’ll stay in this old town
And wonder if I found
My true love that’s you

Noise on the line
Noise on the line

Will you resist if someone
Comes and asks you for a kiss
And should I be scared




When you go out at night
My mind run wild

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 'Noise on the Line' by Darkness Falls are contemplative and invoke a sense of longing to be with someone but not knowing where to start. The first two lines "If I could see, I wonder where I'll start," could be interpreted as the singer feeling lost, as though blinded by love and not knowing where to begin. The following lines "If you could breathe into my ear and whisper, how you wanted it," build on this idea and suggest that the singer wants to be directed by their love interest, as they are unsure how to proceed.


The chorus repeats the phrase "noise on the line," which could mean a few things. It could represent the literal noise on a telephone line, as a disconnect between the singer and their love interest, or it could refer to the distractions that keep the singer from pursuing their feelings. The verse "Will you resist if someone comes and asks you for a kiss, and should I be scared when you go out at night, my mind runs wild" explores the singer's thoughts and insecurities about their love interest. It suggests that they fear their love interest will stray, and they will be left alone.


Overall, 'Noise on the Line' is a song about uncertainty in love, fear of rejection, and the longing for guidance. The lyrics suggest that the singer is lost without their love interest and does not know how to proceed. The chorus implies that there is a divide between them, represented by noise on the line, but it is not entirely clear if this is a physical or emotional separation.


Line by Line Meaning

If I could see
Given my blindness, I ponder where I can possibly begin


I wonder where I’ll start
I'm at a loss as to where to even begin


If you could breathe
If only you could share your breath with me


Into my ear and whisper
So you could whisper softly, intimately to me


How you wanted it
As to how you truly desire things


I’ll see all the things
I will experience everything


You’ll go all the way
You will give your all


To me and say
And will say to me


I’ll stay in this old town
I will remain in this quaint locality


And wonder if I found
And question whether I discovered


My true love that’s you
My genuine affection that's you


Noise on the line
Interference in the transmission


Noise on the line
Interference in the transmission


Will you resist if someone
Will you be firm if someone


Comes and asks you for a kiss
Approaches you pleading for a smooch


And should I be scared
Is there a reason to be reticent


When you go out at night
When you go out after nightfall


My mind run wild
My thoughts spiral out of control
