Falling
Harper Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's never the right time to say its coming to an end
When did you feel like you had to start pretending
Layers of space between our bodies, it's frustrating
I feel you losing patience
Words can't be unsaid
We're not meant to be crying in our heads
Are we sleeping on our deathbed
Tell me why you never call as much
Next to me but we're losing touch
Does it mean that you're falling out of love
Do you think about what I want
Can't you tell that I'm feeling numb
Does it mean that you're falling out of love
Trading places I can see the truth behind your eyes
Do your friends know or are you keeping it inside
I occupy my time with restless thoughts and overthinking
I feel you losing patience
Words can't be unsaid
We're not meant to be crying in our heads
Are we sleeping on our deathbed
Tell me why you never call as much
Next to me but we're losing touch
Does it mean that you're falling out of love
Do you think about what I want
Can't you tell that I'm feeling numb
Does it mean that you're falling out of love
Tell me why you never call as much
Next to me but we're losing touch
Does it mean that you're falling out of love
Do you think about what I want
Can't you tell that I'm feeling numb
Does it mean that you're falling out of love
Do you think about what I want
Can't you tell that I'm feeling numb
Does it mean that you're falling out of love
Tell me why you never call as much
Next to me but we're losing touch
Does it mean that you're falling out of love
Do you think about what I want




Can't you tell that I'm feeling numb
Does it mean that you're falling out of love

Overall Meaning

The song "Falling" by Harper is a poignant and emotional ballad that explores the theme of a relationship falling apart. The lyrics, "It's never the right time to say it's coming to an end, when did you feel like you had to start pretending", suggest that the relationship has reached a point of no return. The singer feels a sense of frustration as there are layers of space between them and their partner, and they are losing patience. They also wonder if their partner is falling out of love with them, as they seem distant and not as connected as they used to be.


The next verse, "Trading places I can see the truth behind your eyes, do your friends know or are you keeping it inside", suggests that the singer is trying to read their partner's emotions and thoughts, but they are also trying to hide the truth. They feel restless and overthinking, occupying their time with thoughts of what might be happening. The chorus repeats the same questions, "Tell me why you never call as much, next to me but we're losing touch, does it mean that you're falling out of love? Do you think about what I want? Can't you tell that I'm feeling numb, does it mean that you're falling out of love?"


Overall, the song is a sad and heartfelt plea for the truth from a partner who is struggling to rekindle what they once had. The rawness of the lyrics is enhanced by Harper's powerful and emotive vocals, making this a truly moving song that anyone who has experienced a fading relationship can relate to.

This kid is the future of metal and must be protected at all cost. Talent like this doesn't come around very often. Thank you child, you've set the bar high and I can't wait to see how you evolve!

It's called metalcore because it's metallic hardcore, as in a sub-genre of hxc.
