The Fall
June Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And if I wake from Dreams
Shall I fall in Pastures
Will I Wake the Darkness
Shall we Torch the Earth?
And if I wake from Dreams
Shall we find the Emptiness
And break the Silence
That will stop our Hearts?
And if I wake from Dreams
Shall we cry Together
For their Howling echoes
And restart the Night?

And why did you say
That things shall fall
And fall and fall and fall
And fall apart?
And why did you say
That things shall fall
And fall and fall and fall
And fall apart?

And shall I wake from Dreams
For the Glory of Nothing
For the cracking of the Sun
For the crawling down of Lies?
And if We fall from Dreams
Shall we push them into Darkness
And stare into the Howling
And clamber into Night?

And if I fall from Dreams
All my Prayers are Silenced
To Love is to lose
And to lose is to Die...

And why did you say
That things shall fall
And fall and fall and fall
And fall apart?
And why did you say
That we shall fall
And fall and fall and fall
And fall apart?
And why did you say
That things shall fall
And fall and fall and fall
And fall apart?
And why did you say
That we shall fall
And fall and fall and fall
And fall apart?




And why did you say
That things shall fall?

Overall Meaning

The opening lines suggest that the singer is questioning what will happen if they wake from their dreams. Will they find themselves in a peaceful place or in the midst of chaos and destruction? The repetition of the phrase "And if I wake from Dreams" creates a sense of anxiety and apprehension, as if the singer is trapped in a recurring nightmare.


The next section of the lyrics introduces the idea of things falling apart, both metaphorically and possibly literally. The repetition of the lines "And why did you say that things shall fall / And fall and fall and fall / And fall apart?" suggests that the singer is addressing someone who has prophesied a future of destruction and chaos. The repetition of the phrase "fall and fall and fall" creates a sense of inevitability and despair, as if there is no escaping the inevitable.


The final section of the lyrics takes a more personal tone, with the singer contemplating their own mortality and the transience of love. The line "To love is to lose / And to lose is to die..." echoes the famous line from Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem "In Memoriam A.H.H." and suggests that the singer is struggling with the idea of impermanence and loss. Overall, the lyrics to "The Fall" create a mood of uncertainty, despair, and existential angst.


Line by Line Meaning

And if I wake from Dreams Shall I fall in Pastures Will I Wake the Darkness Shall we Torch the Earth?
If I were to wake up from a dream, will I be back to the same pleasant place I was in, or will I be plunged back into darkness? Should we destroy everything if we can't feel the sunshine again?


And if I wake from Dreams Shall we find the Emptiness And break the Silence That will stop our Hearts?
Once we wake up from the dreams, will we be left with an emptiness so stark that it will silence our beating hearts, or can we break that silence and fill it with life?


And if I wake from Dreams Shall we cry Together For their Howling echoes And restart the Night?
If we wake up to despair, shall we cry together, listening to the echoes of the howling night?


And why did you say That things shall fall And fall and fall and fall And fall apart?
Why did you talk about everything falling apart, again and again?


And shall I wake from Dreams For the Glory of Nothing For the cracking of the Sun For the crawling down of Lies?
If I wake up from dreams, will it be for the sake of nothing, the destruction of the beauty in nature, and the start of a new era of lies?


And if We fall from Dreams Shall we push them into Darkness And stare into the Howling And clamber into Night?
If we fall from our dreams, should we give up and let the darkness take over us, or should we fight and push ourselves towards the life we want?


And if I fall from Dreams All my Prayers are Silenced To Love is to lose And to lose is to Die...
If I fall from my dreams, I feel like I may as well be dead, for all of my dreams and hopes will be lost, with no chance of recovery, as if all of my prayers to keep them alive have gone unheard. Loving something or someone is like a never-ending loss, and every time you lose, it feels as if you've died.


And why did you say That we shall fall And fall and fall and fall And fall apart?
Why did you say we, as people, will fall apart again and again, continuously plummeting downwards?


And why did you say That things shall fall?
Why did you say that everything should collapse and break down?

That will stop our Hearts?
And if I wake from Dreams

And why did you say
That things shall fall
And fall and fall and fall
And fall apart?

And shall I wake from Dreams
For the Glory of Nothing
For the cracking of the Sun
For the crawling down of Lies?
And if We fall from Dreams
Shall we push them into Darkness
And stare into the Howling
And clamber into Night?
And if I fall from Dreams
All my Prayers are Silenced
To Love is to lose
And to lose is to Die...

And why did you say
That things shall fall
And fall and fall and fall
And fall apart?
