The Fall
David Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This used to be high
But Why Am I so low
I fell on the knife
She stuck in my heart
Broken and Bruised
I Finally know truth
Now I'm falling
I'm Falling
Will you catch me when I fall?
Will you catch me when I fall?
Will you catch me when I fall?
Will you catch me when I fall?
When I fall
When I fall
Crawling from ashes
Excruciating pain
One Missing heart I must reclaim
I pray that the next one
Won’t be the next one
Another soul taken
I fell in love with an angel
Who turned to a devil
Now I’m crying crying
But this won’t break me
No, this won’t it shake me
If you want me
Will you catch me?
Will you catch me when I fall
Will you catch me when I fall
Will you catch me when I fall ?
Will you catch me when I fall?
When I fall
When I fall (WILL YOU)
Will YOU… CATCH ME
Will you catch me when I fall
Will you catch me
Will you catch me when I fall
Will you catch me when I fall
When I fall
When I fall




WHEN I FALL
WHEN I FALL

Overall Meaning

David's song "The Fall" explores the pain and heartbreak of a failed relationship. The opening lines, "This used to be high, but why am I so low," indicate that the singer was once happy in the relationship, but now feels lost and broken. The line "I fell on the knife, she stuck in my heart" is a metaphor for how deeply hurt the singer is by the breakup. He acknowledges that he is "broken and bruised" but has finally come to know the truth about the failed relationship.


The chorus of the song repeats the question "Will you catch me when I fall?" This line speaks to the idea that the singer is looking for someone to help him heal and move on from the pain. The second verse describes the difficulty of moving on, as the singer is "crawling from ashes" and experiencing "excruciating pain." He acknowledges that he is missing a piece of his heart and hopes that his next relationship will not end in the same way.


The lines "I fell in love with an angel who turned to a devil" reveal the pain and betrayal the singer experienced in the failed relationship. Despite the heartbreak, the singer is determined not to be broken by the experience. The final chorus repeats the question "Will you catch me when I fall?" as a plea for emotional support and a reminder that healing is possible with the help of others.
