Giving their brand of euphoric rock a sharper, slicker edge, Every Avenue explores themes of lust, temptation and self-acceptance on new album Bad Habits' 10 driving tracks, solidifying their place in the next breed of strong contenders in pop rock. Their third full-length sees the band lacing their infectious melodies with a glimpse of a darker side, embracing their next phase with the passion of a band truly defining their sound and making it their own.
Making their mark through hard work, the stunning vocal stylings of singer Dave Strauchman and an unfaltering belief in their brand of quality rock tunes, the Motor City five-piece has exploded from hometown shows to international success in a few short years. The band has been a staple on the rock circuit since 2004, clocking up tours with All Time Low, Boys Like Girls, Metro Station and Hey Monday, and was featured in Alternative Press' Most Anticipated Albums 2011. The band's single "Tell Me I'm A Wreck" was in high rotation on Sirius Hits 1, with several weeks appearance on the 20 on 20 chart in fall 2010, and the poignant video resonated with fans worldwide, picking up airplay on MTV2 and was named Kerrang! TV's Video Of The Week. With an entire summer of Vans Warped Tour in front of them, Every Avenue stands defiant, a stable of killer tracks under their belts, poised to take Bad Habits to new heights.
Fall Apart
Every Avenue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Paralyzed by black and white
But who are you, and who am I
Electrified, we burn all night
I want you to fall apart like I did
You to hurt for all of this
All the pain you put me through
I don't deserve you
Fall apart like I did
You to hurt for all of this
All the pain you put me through
I wanna hear you say
I don't deserve you
Fall apart
Terrified by waking eyes
The empty space you left behind
But who are you, and who I am
Terrified by waking eyes
I want you to fall apart like I did
You to hurt for all of this
All the pain you put me through
I wanna hear you say
I don't deserve you
Fall apart like I did
You to hurt for all of this
All the pain you put me through
I wanna hear you say
I don't deserve you
Fall apart
Oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh
Electrified, we burn all night
I want you to fall apart like I did
You to hurt for all of this
All the pain you put me through
I wanna hear you say
I don't deserve you
Fall apart like I did
You to hurt for all of this
All the pain you put me through
I wanna hear you say
I don't deserve you
Electrified, we burn all night
The song "Fall Apart" by Every Avenue is a powerfully emotional track that explores the complicated and often painful aftermath of a failed relationship. The opening lines, "Electrified, we burn all night, Paralyzed by black and white" conveys a sense of intensity and passion, but also a sense of entrapment and powerlessness, both of which are common in relationships. The chorus, "I want you to fall apart like I did, You to hurt for all of this, All the pain you put me through, I wanna hear you say, I don't deserve you, Fall apart like I did," expresses the desire for the other person to finally understand the pain they caused and feel the same hurt and despair that the singer felt.
The second verse, "Terrified by waking eyes, The empty space you left behind, But who are you, and who am I, Terrified by waking eyes", reveals the struggle to move on and the fear of being alone, but also the confusion and questioning of one's identity in the aftermath of a breakup. The repetition of the line "But who are you, and who am I" highlights the uncertainty and existential crisis that can come with the end of a significant relationship.
Overall, "Fall Apart" is a powerful piece of music that captures the emotional turmoil and complexity of a failed relationship. The lyrics are raw and honest, and the melody is hauntingly beautiful, making it a standout track for fans of emotional and introspective music.
