Your Love Means Everything Part 2
Faultline Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Took me away from sight and the place I know
All crushed upon my skin
This mess I put you in and the punch I threw
It was a strange reaction
For someone like you to remain on side
And in a chain reaction
I saw a broken arm
Machines will all break down in the way I know
Mended and all made clean
I saw up on the screen all the stones I throw
It was a strange reaction
For someone like you to remain so sure
And in a chain reaction
I dissolve and break and then away I crawl
And then away I crawl
And away I crawl
And away I crawl
And away I crawl
The lyrics to Faultline's song Your Love Means Everything Part 2 are quite emotional and introspective. The singer describes slipping away and feeling disconnected from the world, as if everything is crashing down on them. They seem to have hurt someone they care about and are struggling with the guilt and shame that come from that. The line "This mess I put you in and the punch I threw" suggests that they may have acted violently or aggressively towards someone, possibly a partner or loved one.
Despite their actions, the singer is surprised and grateful that the person they hurt remains loyal and steadfast. They describe it as a "strange reaction" for someone to remain on their side after such a betrayal. The imagery shifts from physical violence to emotional turmoil as the singer describes themselves as breaking down and calling for a place to hide. The broken arm and machines on the screen suggest a sense of helplessness and vulnerability.
In the end, the singer seems to be slowly crawling away from the situation, possibly seeking redemption or forgiveness. The repetition of "and away I crawl" reinforces the idea that this is a slow and painful process. Overall, the song captures the complex emotions and difficulties of dealing with one's own actions and their consequences.
Line by Line Meaning
I slipped away last night
I left secretly last night
Took me away from sight and the place I know
It took me away from my surroundings, a place that's familiar
All crushed upon my skin
I feel the weight of the situation on my skin
This mess I put you in and the punch I threw
I acknowledge and regret the actions that resulted in hurting you
It was a strange reaction
My reaction to the situation was unusual
For someone like you to remain on side
I'm surprised you stood by me despite everything
And in a chain reaction
One thing led to another
I was down and calling for a place to hide
I was overwhelmed and wanted to escape
I saw a broken arm
I saw a broken body part
Machines will all break down in the way I know
Things will eventually break or stop working, that's a fact of life
Mended and all made clean
I saw it get fixed and cleaned up
I saw up on the screen all the stones I throw
I saw my mistakes and regrets projected before me
It was a strange reaction
Once again my reaction was strange
For someone like you to remain so sure
I was surprised you stayed so loyal despite everything
And in a chain reaction
One thing led to another
I dissolve and break and then away I crawl
I break down and leave
And then away I crawl
I then crawl away
And away I crawl
I move further and further away
And away I crawl
I continue to move away
And away I crawl
I'm slowly distancing myself from the situation

Best thing Chris has ever been a part of, and I love old school Coldplay more than anything so that's saying something. Used to listen to this song every night before bed for years. Makes me weak whenever rediscover it now. Absolutely beautiful.
@mcfosterb
Same here! I used to listen to it while moon-gazing before bed
@arishalomguzmanparedes6146
Totally agree. 2002 was the best year for Chris.

This has to be it... This has to be the greatest song there ever was... Not for every day, not for every mood, but for those moments where you actually need it. This glorious creation is the pinnacle of sound, of little bleeps and boops that hit exactly the right spots, of a wonderfully breathy, croaky voice that fills up the voids of your ears. One that requires actively listening, taking it all in, leaning against the big fluffy pillow of sound of Chris Martin and Faultline.

Totally agree. I remember when the two songs came out and I still revisit YouTube regularly to listen. They’re the only songs that actually make me want to f***! Sorry 🙈
@IngManuelCervera
this song must be in all streaming platforms
@calstri
This song is something seriously special. If you’ve found yourself listening to it, welcome.
The song gives me “I’m on the edge of the earth. Where is there to go from here? What is beyond?” vibes. It reminds me a lot of Mackinac island, Michigan. Being on an island in the middle of a giant lake, looking out upon the world. It brings me the warmest warms, and the coldest colds. What a beautiful thing to have been created.
A good book to read while listening to this is “Midwinter blood”. The first story in the book will always go with this song for me.. .

this song takes me back... embrace the pain...
