Dominoes
Fr Rob Galea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the shadows
Picking up the pieces
Of a broken heart she′s
Tryin' find a way back to the light
This is not how she imagined
One decision changed-the-direction
And There's a million people with a broken heart
And Everyone looking for change
O A billion pieces make a work of art
When we surrender to Love
In a room full, of many people
He's Surrounded, and he′s so alone
No one would ever know
Though he′s smiling
He is hiding
All the pain and hurt inside of him
His fire dies a little everyday
We all fall, every single one by one
Just like we're dominoes, dominoes
We all fall, wonder half to find our whole
Then we fight them all, fight them all
We surrender unto the love
We surrender, love
The lyrics of "Dominoes" by Fr Rob Galea convey the emotional struggles and challenges that individuals face in trying to heal and find their way back to happiness.
The opening lines describe a cold and shadowy night, symbolizing a difficult and difficult period in someone's life. They are metaphorically picking up the pieces of a broken heart, trying to find a path towards light and happiness again. This suggests that they have experienced a significant loss or heartbreak that has left them feeling lost and searching for a way to regain their sense of self and purpose.
The lyrics highlight the impact that a single decision can have on one's life. It suggests that this decision has changed the course of the individual's life and has made it even more challenging for them to find their way back to happiness. They are desperately trying to make things right and find a way to move forward.
The chorus introduces the concept that many people experience heartbreak and are looking for change in their lives. It suggests that everyone carries their own brokenness and struggles, but there is hope in surrendering to love. The imagery of a billion pieces making a work of art signifies that even though we may feel fragmented and broken, when we open ourselves up to love and vulnerability, we can create something beautiful and meaningful.
The second verse focuses on another individual who may appear surrounded by people but feels alone and hides their pain behind a smile. This person is experiencing deep pain and hurt internally, and their fire or passion is slowly diminishing. This highlights the importance of recognizing that appearances can be deceiving and that everyone struggles with their own battles, even when it may not be apparent to others.
The repetition of the lines "We all fall" emphasizes the universality of our struggles and challenges in life. It suggests that, just like dominoes, we all experience moments of falling and facing obstacles. However, the lyrics also convey a sense of resilience and the need to keep fighting. We fight to find our wholeness and to overcome the obstacles that life throws at us.
The closing lines of the song express the idea that surrendering to love is the key to finding solace and happiness. It suggests that by relinquishing control and allowing love to guide us, we can find peace and contentment in our lives. It is a reminder that love has the power to heal and transform, and it is through surrendering to this love that we can find the strength to face life's challenges.

Was a cold, cold night
It was a night filled with coldness and darkness
In the shadows
In a place of secrecy and hiddenness
Picking up the pieces
Trying to gather and mend the broken parts
Of a broken heart she's
Of a heart shattered and in pain
Tryin' find a way back to the light
Attempting to discover a path towards happiness and hope
This is not how she imagined
Her expectations did not align with reality
One decision changed-the-direction
A single choice altered the course of her life
Tryin' to find a way to make it right
Attempting to seek a resolution and rectify the situation
And There's a million people with a broken heart
Countless individuals experiencing emotional pain
And Everyone looking for change
Each person searching for transformation
O A billion pieces make a work of art
Numerous fragments coming together to create something beautiful
When we surrender to Love
By letting go and embracing love, we find peace
In a room full, of many people
Within a crowded space, surrounded by others
He's Surrounded, and he's so alone
Despite being in the company of others, he feels isolated
No one would ever know
Nobody would suspect or understand his true feelings
Though he's smiling
Even though he appears happy on the surface
He is hiding
He conceals and keeps hidden
All the pain and hurt inside of him
The deep emotions of suffering he holds within
His fire dies a little everyday
His passion and spirit diminishes gradually over time
We all fall, every single one by one
We all stumble and experience life's difficulties individually
Just like we're dominoes, dominoes
Similar to how dominoes fall one after another in a chain reaction
We all fall, wonder half to find our whole
We all face setbacks as we search for completeness and fulfillment
Then we fight them all, fight them all
We confront and battle against these obstacles
We surrender unto the love
We let go and submit ourselves to the power of love
We surrender, love
We yield and embrace love as our guiding force
