Fall
Editors The Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll look closer
I'll always remember
Juggernauts screaming to a stop
Sound like devils are laughing
I wanted to see
I wanted to see
I wanted to see
I wanted to see
I wanted to see this for myself
Somehow light up
When I'm with you
I wanted to see
I wanted to see
I wanted to see this for myself
I wanted to see
I wanted to see
I wanted to see this for myself
I wanted to see
I wanted to see
I wanted to see this for myself
I wanted to see
I wanted to see
I wanted to see this for myself
For myself
For myself
For myself
Myself
Myself
Myself
Myself
For myself
For myself
For myself.
The lyrics to Editors' song "Fall" seem to be an exploration of the complexity of human emotions and the desire to really understand them. The repeated refrain of "I wanted to see this for myself" suggests that the singer is seeking some kind of personal epiphany or revelation, perhaps about their own relationships or feelings. The image of "juggernauts screaming to a stop" and "devils laughing" creates a sense of chaos and conflict, perhaps reflecting the tumultuous nature of the singer's inner world.
The line "Somehow light up when I'm with you" seems to suggest that the singer finds some kind of solace or clarity in the presence of another person, which contrasts with the earlier images of darkness and chaos. However, even in this moment of connection, there is still a sense of introspection and self-examination - the singer still wants to "see this for myself."
Overall, the lyrics to "Fall" are cryptic and open to interpretation, but seem to touch on themes of personal growth, emotional complexity, and the search for understanding.
