Fall
Emily Hearn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never really meant it ‘til now
Baby I'm better off now, baby I'm better off without you
Your eyes, they weaken me
Not strong as I should be
But I can't want you at all
I'm not going to fall
Listen, I demand it, you mean nothing at all
You're a man so blind not to see what I hide behind
Yeah, I said I'm fine
But you know sometimes you have to lie
Your eyes, they weaken me
Not strong as I should be
But I can't want you at all
Don't misunderstand me I'm not going to fall
I'm not going to fall
Listen, I demand it, you mean nothing at all
I heard your apology, but that's not what I asked you for
You gave me sympathy but you will never give me more
I thought you loved me, God I was so wrong
Now I'm defenseless saying words that I don't mean at all
I never thought I'd say this out loud
But I've been a fool until now
I won't wait around, I won't wait around
Don't misunderstand me I'm not going to fall
Don't misunderstand me I'm not going to fall
Oh I'm not going to fall
Listen, I demand it, you mean nothing at all
I never thought I'd say this out loud
The lyrics of Emily Hearn's song Fall describe the end of a toxic relationship that the singer has endured. It's a song about realizing self-worth and moving on from someone who has held them back. The opening lines "I never thought I'd say this out loud, never really meant it 'til now" suggest that the singer has been holding back their true feelings, and now they are finally ready to speak their mind.
The chorus "Don't misunderstand me I'm not going to fall, I'm not going to fall, listen, I demand it, you mean nothing at all" is the singer's proclamation of strength and independence. They refuse to be held down by their past and declare that the person they are addressing has no power over them. The line "I won't wait around, I won't wait around" is another sign of the singer's newfound resilience and determination to move on.
The verses also shed light on the singer's internal struggle. They acknowledge that they are not as strong as they should be when they're around the person they're speaking to, but they also know that they can't want them anymore. The line "your eyes, they weaken me" suggests that the person's gaze has been seductive in the past, but the singer is now aware of its negative impact on them.
In the bridge, the singer rejects the person's apologies and sympathy, recognizing that they will never give them what they truly need. They realize that they were wrong to believe that the person loved them, and now they feel exposed and vulnerable. However, the repeated chorus reinforces their determination to move on and not be held down by their past.
Overall, Fall is a powerful song about the end of a toxic relationship and the singer's journey towards strength and independence.
