Gathering The
Falling Up Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With a love that always fades
You hold on so tight, hold back the tears
Legacy that strays so strong is pulling at your heart
All the castles that you made are falling apart
Love is waiting here
Come back, in these places
Blowing in the wind a taste of something tragically
Comes to find you when you fall and when you're in need
See beneath the skin
Always waiting is a love that moves
Your pains away
Always waiting will embrace and wash tears away
Places where this begins
You make believe that the world is never going to mount you
(This place is safe)
That your love is always going to stay true
What do you see when you fall asleep
(Jesus in longing)
That you will want the blood his hands can bleed
The lyrics to Falling Up's "Gathering The" reflect a sense of longing and a struggle with letting go. The first verse describes someone who is saying goodbye to something or someone they love, but they are holding on tightly and struggling to let go. Despite the fact that the legacy they've built is falling apart, they continue to cling to it. However, there is hope in the chorus, which urges the person to come back to a safe place where love is waiting.
The second verse highlights the pain that this person is going through, likening it to something tragic. However, there is always love waiting for them, ready to move their pain away and wash their tears. The bridge speaks to the person's fears, that the world will always be difficult and their love will not be enough. But the answer is to look to Jesus for comfort and hope.
Overall, the song seems to be encouraging someone to let go of what is holding them back and to return to a place where they can find comfort and love. It acknowledges the pain and struggle involved in doing so, but emphasizes that there is light and hope on the other side.
