Freefall
Fixmer / McCarthy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Through the holes in my mind
Roll call
For the freaks of nature
I'm calling one and all
Opened up been
Shut down
Been shot down
Running out of reasons
Take my hand
We're falling down
The lyrics to "Freefall" by Fixmer/McCarthy depict a person struggling with the holes in their mind and looking for a sense of belonging. The line "Roll call for the freaks of nature, I'm calling one and all" suggests that the person is looking for others who may be like them and who may be able to understand their struggles. This is further emphasized in the lines "Opened up been shut down, broken free been shot down, running out of reasons", which speak to the person being vulnerable, but also facing rejection and obstacles in their life.
The chorus "Take my hand, we're falling down" can be interpreted in different ways. On one hand, it can be seen as a call to action for those who may be struggling, suggesting that the singer is willing to offer support and companionship. On the other hand, it could also represent a descent into darkness, where the singer and others may be falling deeper into their struggles and fears.
Overall, the song portrays a sense of longing and a search for meaning in a world that can be harsh and unforgiving. Through its lyrics, it invites listeners to reflect on their own struggles and to seek out the support that they need to thrive.
