Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Keep on holdin' on
And I know it's short
And I know it's short
One month 'till February
Keep on holdin' on
And I know it's short
And it's times like these
And it's days like these
And it's times like these
And it's days like
It's been a long time comin'
But I'm falling short
It's been a long time comin'
But I'm falling short
'Cause you could say
This is not too far to carry this
'Cause you could say
This is not too far to carry this
'Cause you could say
This is not too far to carry this
'Cause you could say
This is not too far to carry this
'Cause you could say
This is not too far to carry this
And it's times like these
And it's days like these
('Cause you could say)
And it's times like these
And it's days like
It's been a long time comin'
But I'm falling short
('Cause you could say this is not too far to carry this)
It's been a long time comin'
But I'm falling short
('Cause you could say this is not too far to carry this)
(Not too far to carry this)
(Not too far to carry this)
Because you took something away from yourself
Come back to this route and take your heart to higher self
Heart to higher shelf
(Not too far to carry this)
Because you took something away from yourself
Come back to this route and take your heart to higher self
One month 'till February
And it's times like these
Because you took something away from yourself
Come back to this route and take your heart to higher self
One month 'till February
('Cause you could say this is not too far to carry this)
('Cause you could say this is not too far to carry this)
In Låpsley's song "Falling Short," the lyrics refer to a sense of falling short and failing to achieve a desired goal. The opening lyrics repeat the phrase "one month 'til February" twice, emphasizing a particular point in time when the singer may have been hoping to achieve something. However, despite this looming deadline, the singer feels as though she is "falling short" and struggling to meet her expectations.
The chorus repeats the same phrase, "it's been a long time comin'," which suggests that this sense of disappointment and frustration has been building up over time. The bridge of the song offers some guidance, as it encourages the listener to "come back to this route and take your heart to higher self." It seems that the lyrics are urging the listener to keep pushing forward, even if it feels like they are not making progress or meeting their goals as quickly as they would like.
Overall, the lyrics of "Falling Short" suggest a theme of perseverance in the face of setbacks and difficulties. The repeated phrases and sense of urgency convey a sense of pressure and a desire to achieve, but the bridge's encouragement to "take your heart to higher self" suggests that the singer recognizes the importance of self-care and self-compassion, even when things are not going as planned.
