Fall in Love
Head Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Right where she used to be
A candle wick in the hallway
Come forth my heart and soul
I feel you slipping farther away
Sinning just to repent
Rinsing just to repeat
The fever keeps me fervent
Whatever it takes to keep me weak
How can you forget what they put you through?
How can I forgive what they did to you?
But it's okay
It's alright
I'll stick here by your side
If that's who she wants to see
Then I'll place his portrait in the hall
Please come forth my fear and anger
Please let my eyes fall out
And it's coming around
But it don't mean shit to me
And melancholy is what I found
Like fallen leaves from the trees
How can you forget what they put you through?
How can I forgive what they did to you?
But it's okay
It's alright
I'll stick here by your side
How can I regret how quickly we grew?
How can I forget the chances I blew?
It's not okay




It's not alright
The love in me has died

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Head's song Fall in Love explore the idea of love and its place in our lives. The first verse talks about how the idea of something brand new might not be how the persona thinks of the other person. They are two strangers who might never have met and even though they can talk forever, they are not in love. The persona questions whether people really fall in love and what it takes to fall in love.


The second verse reflects the idea that happiness might not necessarily come with love. The persona questions the difference between girl time and boy time and whether it is a responsibility that comes with love. They choose to believe the other person even though they personally cannot fall in love.


The third verse reflects a more cynical view of love where the persona talks about living in a world without love. They urge the other person to not let their feelings get in the way and that respecting each other's opinions will one day be respected. They believe that we don't need love and that there will come a day where love won't be necessary.


Overall, the song offers a unique perspective on love and how everyone may have their own experiences with it. It questions the concept of love and its necessity in our lives.

What mattered to me was the right to be free
Like I'll be someday
I'm waiting for my heart to lead the way


The places I've seen and the roads in between
Make me wonder why
I'm searching for my dreams up in the sky


I heard the call
In the mirror I saw the writing on the wall
And I had to fall in love with you


The face that I've known seems so lost and alone
When you're far away
I'm comin' for you baby right away


The places I've seen and the roads in between
Make me wonder why
I'm searching for me dreams up in the sky




I heard the call
In the mirror I saw the writing on the wall
And I had to fall in love with you


What mattered to me was the right to be free
Like I'll be someday
I'm waiting for my heart to lead the way

I heard this song on the radio while driving 180 kms to my home town one morning after the night my father passed away quite unexpectedly, It always makes me very sad, even after nearly 30 years.

@Lahorehacks

Rest in peace, wishing you happiness and peace

@pipo34

I agree. I hate our actual days

@ritaroad

@@pipo34 it’s said that if you live in the past you’re depressed. I think we look to the past because the present is so depressing. I can tell you one thing...I haven’t heard such beautiful music in this day and age.

@glendabothwell9091

The lyrics are spot on! A man’s desire for freedom, but at the same time the desire for love is even stronger.
This song is a true gem from the past..
