Loch Ness
Dead To Fall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Weightless, thoughtless, a dream that is endless
If you don't look down you'll never fall
If you don't look down you'll never fall
Washed away and carried into the depths
The pressure builds and clutches the lungs
As life is sucked from a weakened soul
Back on shore
[Solo 1:49]
Drop by drop [x4]
Washed away and carried into the depths
The rain comes crashing down again
Drowning in poisoned, poisoned thoughts
Dreams dissolve, dreams dissolve
Back on shore
[Solo 3:07]
Washed away and carried into the depths
Back into the deep under waves capped white
A glimmering something leads to an endless blue nothing
Dreams dissolve, dreams dissolve
Back on shore
The lyrics to Dead To Fall's song Loch Ness speak to the fragility of the human mind and the consequences of falling too deep into one's own thoughts. The first verses paint a picture of a dreamer who has disconnected from reality; they are free from the weight and worries of the world and are suspended in their own thoughts and dreams. However, the chorus hints at the danger of this state of mind. The phrase "If you don't look down, you'll never fall" is a warning that if the dreamer becomes too lost in their own thoughts and does not acknowledge reality, they risk losing themselves entirely.
The second verse takes a darker turn as the dreamer is washed away and carried into the depths of their mind. The pressure builds and suffocates the dreamer, symbolizing how deeply they have become entrenched in their own thoughts. The line "As life is sucked from a weakened soul" highlights the toll that this can take on a person's mental and emotional well-being. The bridge and final verse continue to emphasize this theme, with the repetition of "Dreams dissolve" driving home the message that this internal struggle has consequences.
Overall, Loch Ness is a powerful reminder of the importance of staying grounded and connected to reality, even during moments of introspection and self-discovery. It highlights the importance of acknowledging and dealing with one's emotions and thoughts to avoid falling too far into an abyss of the mind.
