Freefalling
Dennis Sheperd & Cold Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will soon forget
Every line on my face
Each moment spent
Every colour and scent
Will disappear without a trace
So why do I feel like I let you down
It's only when you leave
That I start to believe
That I can feel anything
It's only when you leave me
Floating in the air
That I start freefalling
It's only when you leave
That I start to believe
I can feel anything
It's only when you leave me
Floating in the air
That I start freefalling
The song "Freefalling" by Dennis Sheperd & Cold Blue is a melancholic and introspective reflection on the aftermath of a breakup. The opening lines, "Your stolen eyes will soon forget, every line on my face, each moment spent, every colour and scent will disappear without a trace" suggests that the singer of the song has been left by their former partner, and they feel as though they are being erased from their life completely. The bittersweet feeling of wanting to move on, but not being able to let go of the past is conveyed in the next lines, "So why do I feel like I let you down, when I'm the only one around?" The singer realizes that they are the only one holding on to the memory of the relationship, and yet they can't help but feel guilty for not being able to move on.
The chorus of the song brings everything home, with its repeated refrain "It's only when you leave, that I start to believe, that I can feel anything. It's only when you leave me floating in the air, that I start freefalling." This part of the song highlights the idea that the singer can only truly feel the full range of emotions they are experiencing when they are alone, with nothing left of the relationship but memories. The feeling of freefalling is representative of the feeling of losing control and the absence of a solid foundation. The song finishes with a final repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the singer’s cyclical relationship with their emotions.
Overall, "Freefalling" is a powerful and introspective song about lingering emotions after a breakup. It portrays the conflicting feelings of wanting to move on, but being unable to do so in a way that is both relatable and emotionally charged.
Line by Line Meaning
Your stolen eyes
The way you looked at me with such intensity and passion, as if you could see into my soul
Will soon forget
Your memory of me will fade and I will become just another part of your past
Every line on my face
Every wrinkle, every expression that shows the effects of time and emotion on me
Each moment spent
Every second that we shared together, every experience that we had as a pair
Every colour and scent
All the visual and sensory details of our time together, the way everything seemed brighter and more alive when we were together
Will disappear without a trace
These memories will fade away and vanish completely, leaving no trace behind
So why do I feel like I let you down
Despite all of this, I still feel like I failed you somehow, like I was responsible for the way things ended
When I'm the only one around?
Even though there is no one else with me, no one to judge or blame me for what happened
It's only when you leave
When you're gone and I'm alone with my thoughts
That I start to believe
I finally start to understand and accept the reality of our situation
That I can feel anything
I'm not numb anymore, I can experience emotions and sensations again
It's only when you leave me
When you're physically not here, and I'm lost in my longing and memories of you
Floating in the air
I'm weightless, directionless, with no clear path or purpose
That I start freefalling
I'm falling, tumbling out of control, with no way to stop or change my course

As your hands
Slip out of mine
Our sunset turns to dusk
We swam with the dolphins and the sharks
But now it's getting dark
We don't know who to trust
Your stolen eyes
Will soon forget
Every line on my face
Each moment spent
Every colour and scent
Will disappear without a trace
So why I feel like I let you down
When I'm the only one around?
It's only when you leave
That I start to believe
That I can feel anything
It's only when you leave me
Floating in the air
That I start freefalling
Freefallin'...
It's only when you leave
That I start to believe
That I can feel anything
It's only when you leave me
Floating in the air
That I start freefalling

I absolutely LOVE everything about this track, especially and specifically the Cold Blue remix.
Richard's lyrics are very emotive and paint an amazingly vivid picture; they fill me up and blow me away every time I listen to them. The music in the Cold Blue remix (and the one in this vid) is slow and deeply foreboding, but builds to euphoric heights, and Chloe's vocals perfectly match the pace, feel, and emotion of the whole piece.
Very, very, VERY well done to everyone who created this masterpiece of euphoric melancholy.
