Still I Fall
Kaurna Cronin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now I'm dead with patience or dying cold
I've never felt so small so when freedom calls
Well I won't be swinging like a wrecking ball
'Cause it feels like all that I've fallen for
Well I keep on falling for again
It's the same old love that I've felt before
Well we'll move out and you'll touch my face
While we're dancing in the pouring rain
Then I won't answer, I'll be careless
I'll need help, but have no one to call
And still I fall
'Cause it feels like all that I've fallen for
Well I keep on falling for again
It's the same old love that I've felt before
And it never changes, but still I fall
Now I'm feeling like before at another door
Making the same mistakes I was before
But nothing ever changes, nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes anymore
'Cause we're careless, impatient, all get frustrated
When freedoms through the other door
But nothing ever changes, nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes anymore
'Cause it feels like all that I've fallen for
Well I keep on falling for again
It's the same old love that I've felt before
And it never changes, but still I fall

Line by Line Meaning
I put my love on hold 'til I'm in control
I postpone my feelings until I maintain dominance over them
Now I'm dead with patience or dying cold
I am now numb from waiting too long
I've never felt so small so when freedom calls
I feel insignificant, but when the opportunity arises, I shall respond
Well I won't be swinging like a wrecking ball
I won't let my emotions destruct everything in their path
'Cause it feels like all that I've fallen for
It seems that everything I've been drawn to leads me to the same result
Well I keep on falling for again
I still find myself drawn to the same patterns
It's the same old love that I've felt before
I experience the same type of love repeatedly
And it never changes, but still I fall
Despite knowing the outcomes, I cannot resist
Well we'll move out and you'll touch my face
We will leave this place and you'll be affectionate
While we're dancing in the pouring rain
We will dance in the pouring rain as it falls around us
Then I won't answer, I'll be careless
I will ignore you and be negligent towards your feelings
I'll need help, but have no one to call
I will require assistance, but nobody to aid me
And still I fall
And still I end up in the same position
'Cause we're careless, impatient, all get frustrated
We lack concern, are unprepared and annoyed
When freedoms through the other door
But when given the choice, we are uncertain
Now I'm feeling like before at another door
I return to previous experiences at a different location
Making the same mistakes I was before
I am repeating my prior mistakes
But nothing ever changes, nothing ever changes
But nothing is different, nothing is different
Nothing ever changes anymore
Nothing changes anymore
