I'm falling down
Dion Condack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A million miles before I drown.
The world keeps spinning round and round,
I'm getting lost in this place.
Falling down,
Falling down.
About to take the plunge.
It's like I'm bolted to the ground
The world′s tryin′ to hold me back.
Falling down,
Falling down.
I'm falling down.
The tunnels light is bright
I′ll run to keep it in my sight.
Jump on board it's not too late,
Only you can hold you back.
Falling down,
Falling down.
I′m falling down.
The song "I'm Falling Down" by Dion Condack is a haunting and introspective track that seems to describe someone who is experiencing a great deal of anxiety and uncertainty. The first verse begins with the lyrics "Suddenly I'm falling down", which suggests that the singer has been caught off guard by some kind of unexpected event or occurrence. The second line of the verse, "A million miles before I drown", implies that the singer is feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about their ability to stay afloat in their current situation.
As the song progresses, the singer describes feeling lost and disoriented, as if they are "getting lost in this place". They also express a sense of inevitability, as if they know that they are "about to take the plunge" and can only count down the seconds until it happens. The third verse introduces the idea of a "tunnel's light" that the singer must run towards in order to find their way out of their current predicament. The line "Only you can hold you back" suggests that the singer is responsible for their own success or failure in this situation.
Overall, "I'm Falling Down" seems to be a poignant and deeply personal song about the struggles of navigating difficult times in life, and the courage it takes to keep moving forward despite feeling lost and uncertain.
