End of Our Faults
Elliot Root Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The sun's out in your eyes
I watch as you smile in my mind
Drift away, drift away
I always mean to tell you
The words that hear the most
Callously fall from your lips
I will always be your man
I will always be your man
Here we've arrived at the end of our faults, now
Outside of the reach of the world we fear no hurt
All that you were and all that you are now
Combine in you and your feet won't touch the ground
Somehow you can see me
I never showed you how
Everyone wants to know
Are you running away, run away
All that's said is turned down
There's no words left to say
This song is for you, you see
I found no other way, other way
I will always be your man
I will always be your man
Here we've arrived at the end of our faults, now
Outside of the reach of the world we fear no hurt
All that you were and all that you are now
Combine in you and your feet won't touch the ground
I know there's something going
I know there's something going on
Out there
And I will always be your man
I will always be your man
Here we've arrived at the end of our faults, now
Outside of the reach of the world we fear no hurt
All that you were and all that you are now
Combine in you and your feet won't touch the ground
The song "End Of Our Faults" by Elliot Root seems to be about a complicated relationship. The first verse describes the singer watching the person they are in a relationship with, admiring how they look when the sun is shining in their eyes. However, the admiration is tempered by the fact that the person sometimes says hurtful things. The second verse continues with this theme, suggesting that the singer has difficulty communicating with the person they care for. Despite this, the chorus emphasizes the commitment that the singer has to the relationship, promising to always be there for them.
The final verse of the song takes a slightly different tack. It suggests that there is something happening outside of the relationship that the singer is aware of but can't quite articulate. However, this does not change the commitment that they have to the person they care for. The chorus repeats again, emphasizing the idea that the two of them are together and outside of the reach of the rest of the world. The phrase "feet won't touch the ground" suggests that they are free from the insecurities and doubts that might otherwise weigh them down.
