Dead End Street
Fall Behind Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Get those men to guard your life.
Shove the curtains lock the door check the ceiling check the floor.
Check every single hole in your fucking palace.
We'll be like a big scary wood
In the middle of your neighborhood.
All the killers, thieves and poor
We'll be like a poisonous weed
Growing on dead end street...
All the news that you read in your daily.
Breed the need of illusion of safety...
But it's the dead end street. DEAD END STREET...
You're building a whole damn cities inside our cities
With barbed-wire fence, cameras and guards
And it's not because you are scared
It's because you think you're better
And it's nothing but segregation...
Set these walls on fire.
Break those walls down.
SET THESE WALLS ON FIRE.
The lyrics in Fall Behind's song Dead End Street take a critical look at the current societal structures that are perpetuating discrimination and inequality. The song portrays a kind of dystopian society where people with power and wealth build walls and fences around themselves as a means of creating a sense of safety and security. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Dead End Street," which seems to symbolize the limitations and restrictions people face when they try to build their own walls of segregation.
The opening lines of the song suggest that the person who is speaking wants the listener to take measures to protect themselves. They urge the listener to put a fence around their house and to hire people to guard them at all times. The song then goes on to describe how this sense of safety is just an illusion, as danger can come from anywhere, even within the walls people build. The line "check every single hole in your fucking palace" highlights the futility of trying to create a completely safe environment in a world where danger lurks at every corner.
The song also makes a subtle critique of the way society is organized. The chorus talks about how the rich and powerful are building "a whole damn city inside our cities" and creating a sense of segregation by putting up barbed-wire fences and hiring guards. The song suggests that this kind of segregation is not driven by fear but rather by a sense of superiority. The last lines of the song, "set these walls on fire, break those walls down," seems to suggest that the only way to bring about change is through destroying the walls of segregation, both literally and metaphorically.
