They changed their name to Entwine in 1997 when they decided to change the musical style to gothic metal and rhythm guitarist and vocalist Panu Willman was added shortly after to the band's line-up.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm not here to break you
I am here to save your soul
I'm not here to hurt you
I don't want you to lose control

I am the shape of your life
I am the seed of your mind

I'll be your dream
I'll be your star
Can't you see that I'm the one
I'll be your hate
I'll be your love
Don't you know that I'm the one

I'm not here to use you
I am here to tame your soul
I'm not here to blame you
I am here to play your role

I am the shape of your life
I am an illusion of your mind

I'll be your dream
I'll be your star
Can't you see that I'm the one
I'll be your hate
I'll be your love
Don't you know that I'm the one

I'll be your dream
I'll be your star
Can't you see that I'm the one
I'll be your hate

I'll be your love
Can't you see I'm falling apart

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Entwine's song Falling Apart suggest that someone is claiming to be someone's savior, claiming to be in their life to help them, save their soul and tame their soul. However, there is a sense of unease and a subtle warning that the person may lose control if they don't let the singer take over their life. The singer claims to be the shape and seed of their life, which could mean that they are trying to mold the person into their idea of what they should be.

Furthermore, the singer claims to be an illusion of the person's mind, which could suggest that the person is struggling with reality and is possibly being manipulated. However, the singer also claims to be the person's dream, star, hate, and love, revealing that perhaps the person is in a vulnerable state and is looking for guidance, even if it means losing control.

Overall, the lyrics of Falling Apart convey a feeling of uneasiness and codependency. The singer seems to be subtly trying to gain control over the person's life, while the person is in a vulnerable state, looking for someone to save them.
