Falling
Josh Cameron Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Did you want to come with me?
Swear that I would do no wrong
If only you were meant for me
Swear that I would do.

She tore but never wore me out
Get bored we're living hard to stop
This one you never take enough
You get what you give and live what you fear
It's back into my head

Wait until the day goes by
I'm falling
To see you once again
Waited for you yesterday
I'm falling
Into the crack again
Life is such a hurricane
I'm crawling
Back again
Waiting for the ones that get you high

I was born
So long till I change
Razor blade
A hero and slave
You know I'd never do the same
The wrong place, wrong time, it's just the wrong way

Waited for you yesterday
I'm falling
To see you once again
Life is such a hurricane
I'm crawling
To my feet again
Lady you're the same your name
I'm calling
Wait your wait again
Life is such a hurricane
I'm falling
Back again
Waiting for ones that get you high

She never told me anything
Just kept it locked away
As long as I can learn to breathe
I think I'll be okay





Chorus
And we'll never leave

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Josh Cameron's song Falling can be interpreted as an expression of longing for someone who is unavailable. The first and second lines of the song express an invitation to someone else to join the singer, while pledging not to cause harm. However, the following lines suggest that the person the singer is addressing is out of reach, as they are not "meant" for each other. The line "Swear that I would do" is left uncompleted, which adds a layer of ambiguity to the meaning of the song.


The next few lines of the song imply that the relationship between the singer and the person they are addressing has been complicated and even destructive. The line "She tore but never wore me out" suggests that the person caused the singer pain, but did not completely break them. The imagery of "living hard to stop" and "get what you give and live what you fear" hints at a cycle of self-destructive behavior that is difficult to escape from.


The chorus of the song is the most direct expression of the singer's longing. The repetition of "I'm falling" and "Waited for you yesterday" emphasize the sense of helplessness and the feeling of being trapped in the same emotional pattern. The reference to life as a "hurricane" and the image of being "crawling" and "waiting for ones that get you high" add to the feeling of chaos and uncertainty.


Overall, the song Falling is a poignant reflection on the pain and confusion that can come with unrequited love and the difficulties of breaking free from unhealthy emotional patterns.
