Falling Away
Elijah Bossenbroek Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is down again
Even though it feels like
We've lost it all
I promise you the love is in the air
My mind is never changing
Because my bones are never breaking
If I'm falling away
You got something to say
And I need to know
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
If I'm falling away Don't let me go
I know I leave for months at a time
But you never leave my mind
You stay locked away
You ain't easy to find
The miles don't affect me
They make me realize
What I'd be missing all this time
My mind is never changing
Because my bones are never breaking
If I'm falling away
Don't let me go
You got something to say
And I need to know
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
If I'm falling away
Don't let me go
Our signal is breaking up
Try to hear me through the static
Through the static
And trust me that I'm on the other end
Try to hear me through the static
Through the static
Our communication is down again
If I'm falling away
Don't let me go
You got something to say
And I need to know
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
If I'm falling away
Don't let me go
Don't let me go.
In Elijah Bossenbroek's song "Falling Away," the singer addresses their significant other, expressing concern about their communication difficulties. Despite feeling like they've lost each other entirely, the singer insists that their love remains present. The singer pleads with their partner not to let them go, even if they begin to drift away. They acknowledge that they travel frequently and spend long periods apart, yet the distance only helps them appreciate what they would lose if they fell out of love.
The repetition of lines like "Don't let me go" and "If I'm falling away" underscores the singer's fear of losing their significant other. It reveals their vulnerability and dependence on the other person for emotional fulfillment. The communication metaphor interwoven throughout the song between "signal[s]" breaking and "static" is powerful, as it suggests a struggle to connect and understand one another. Despite the distance and potential difficulties in the relationship, the singer's words suggest they desire to remain close to their partner and to work through their problems together.
Overall, "Falling Away" is a heartfelt plea for emotional connection and commitment. It's a song about the importance of communication in relationships, regardless of how far apart people may be from one another. It reminds listeners that true love requires effort and focus, and that we must be willing to fight for what we believe in.
