Falling apart
Glasseater Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I dream of days when I can wake up to you
To be held in your arms
To be carried over the street for what seemed to be eternity
Displayed eagerly like a prize but the times have brought change
I've accepted the fact that you don't understand me
It's not your fault
My mentor in street knowledge
Now we barely see eye to eye
A faint object in the distance and you're the car driving towards it through fog
I wish we could talk a lot more but I know that sometimes things fall apart
No matter what kinds of hardships we've been through I wouldn't trade this for the world
You brought me life
I'm thanking you
The lyrics to Glasseater's "Falling Apart" express a sense of wistfulness and nostalgia for a relationship that has changed over time. The singer longs for the days when they could be held in their loved one's arms and carried through the streets, cherished passionately like a prize. However, they have come to accept that times have changed, and that their loved one no longer understands them in the same way. Despite this, the singer reflects gratefully on the role that their loved one played in their life. They were an instructor in "life classes" and a mentor in "street knowledge". Though they now seem like a "faint object in the distance", the singer acknowledges that sometimes things fall apart.
The song's message is a common one - that relationships can change over time, and that even though both parties may still care for each other, they may not be able to connect in the way they once did. Rather than apportioning blame or resentment, "Falling Apart" takes a bittersweet tone of acceptance, nostalgia, and gratitude for what once was. It is a reminder that even when things don't work out, we can still be thankful for the good things that came from them.

It's not your fault
I understand that the situation I find myself in is not your fault
I dream of days when I can wake up to you
My dream is to wake up each day next to you
To be held in your arms
I long to be embraced by you
To be carried over the street for what seemed to be eternity
I wish to be carried away by you, beyond the horizon for as long as I can remember
Displayed eagerly like a prize but the times have brought change
I used to be eager to show you off to the world, but times have changed

You were my instructor in life classes
You taught me important lessons of life
My mentor in street knowledge
You taught me about the ways of the street and I learned from your wisdom
Now we barely see eye to eye
We are drifting apart and our views are not aligned
A faint object in the distance and you're the car driving towards it through fog
You are the only source of light I can see in this foggy situation
I wish we could talk a lot more but I know that sometimes things fall apart
Although I wish we could talk more, I accept that things sometimes do not work out
No matter what kinds of hardships we've been through I wouldn't trade this for the world
Despite the difficulties we faced, I would not exchange our relationship for anything else in the world
You brought me life
You gave meaning to my life and made it worth living
I'm thanking you
I am grateful for all that you have done for me
