The Fold
Framing Hanley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's no surprise this is where you back down
I've heard the stories,
This is where you come up short
It's not really a big deal, it's not really a big deal
You just threw it all away.
You've got your shades shut tight,
And you know it's everything you wanted
But you set yourself apart
No fingers need be pointed
You put yourself where you are
Did it fold? Did it fold?
For every action there's a consequence,
So just keep distant,
Cause it's time you sent this one out.
It is really a big deal, yes it is, a really big deal.
You just threw it all away.
You've got your shades shut tight,
But you left the door wide open.
And you know it's everything you wanted
But you set yourself apart
No fingers need be pointed
You put yourself where you are
Did it fold? Did it fold?
Did you get your lies straight?
Cause you've been hit with reality.
Where you could call the fate
The trust doesn't come with a guarantee.
Who you gonna call when there's no one left around?
Who you gonna call when there's no one left around?
It's everything you wanted,
But you set yourself apart.
No fingers need be pointed
You put yourself where you are
Did it fold? Did it fold?
Did it fold? Did it fold?
Just watch it unfold.
Did it fold? Did it fold?
Just watch it unfold
It's everything you wanted.
But you put yourself where you are
The Fold by Framing Hanley explores the aftermath of a failed relationship or friendship. The chorus of the song poses the question "did it fold?" as a way of asking if the relationship ultimately failed or fell apart. The first verse describes the climactic moment of the unraveling relationship, with the singer saying that it's no surprise that the other person is backing down. The singer has heard stories that suggest that this is a pattern for this person - they always come up short in important moments. The singer doesn't seem to be too upset about it, saying that it's not really a big deal, but then adds that the person has "just threw it all away".
The second verse seems to suggest that the other person was the one who wanted this relationship or friendship in the first place, but they've set themselves apart. The singer doesn't need to point fingers or assign blame, the other person has put themselves in this position. The bridge of the song suggests that the other person has been lying to themselves and others about the situation, maybe trying to convince themselves that they didn't truly want this relationship or friendship. But now they've been hit with reality and are forced to face the fact that they've lost something that they wanted.
Line by Line Meaning
We're at the climax now
We've come to the most intense part
It's no surprise this is where you back down
It's typical for you to give up at this part
I've heard the stories,
I've been told about what happens at this point
This is where you come up short
You fail to meet the expectations at this point
It's not really a big deal, it's not really a big deal
The outcome isn't significant as you might think
You just threw it all away.
You ruined everything up to this point
You've got your shades shut tight,
You're not open to anything
But you left the door wide open.
But you left an opening for things to happen
And you know it's everything you wanted
You got what you aimed for
But you set yourself apart
You distanced yourself
No fingers need be pointed
No one needs to be blamed
You put yourself where you are
You're responsible for your current situation
Did it fold? Did it fold?
Did everything go wrong?
For every action there's a consequence,
There's a reaction for every move you make
So just keep distant,
Stay away from trouble
Cause it's time you sent this one out.
You should give up on this one
It is really a big deal, yes it is, a really big deal.
The outcome is significant
Did you get your lies straight?
Did you prepare your deceits?
Cause you've been hit with reality.
You're faced with real consequences now
Where you could call the fate
Where you used to think you can control what happens
The trust doesn't come with a guarantee.
You can't always rely on trust
Who you gonna call when there's no one left around?
Who will you turn to when no one's there anymore?
Just watch it unfold.
Just let events happen without interfering
It's everything you wanted.
You're getting what you aimed for
But you put yourself where you are
You're the one to blame for your situation
