Who We Are
Lightfall Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I spend my days searching for reasons,
When every night is just a blur,
Searching the bottom of the bottom,
For the answers that make me surrender,

It bends, it breaks, it falls apart,
It wasn't meant to be this hard,
We can't look back, we've gone too far,
Who we were's not who we are,
It bends, it breaks, it falls apart,
It wasn't meant to be this hard,
We can't look back, we've gone too far,
Who we were's not who we are

Retracing steps to the things that bring your bitter end,
You've been putting all the emphasis on unfaithful friends,
You're running away from all the things that are best for you,
You've been chasing all the things that never tell you the truth

It bends, it breaks, it falls apart,
It wasn't meant to be this hard,
We can't look back, we've gone too far,
Who we were's not who we are,
It bends, it breaks, it falls apart,
It wasn't meant to be this hard,
We can't look back, we've gone too far,
Who we were's not who we are

I spend my days searching for reasons,
When every night is just a blur,
Searching the bottom of the bottle,
This time you won't make me surrender.

It bends, it breaks, it falls apart,
It wasn't meant to be this hard,
We can't look back, we've gone too far,
Who we were's not who we are,
It bends, it breaks, it falls apart,
It wasn't meant to be this hard,




We can't look back, we've gone too far,
Who we were's not who we are

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lightfall's song "Who We Are" speak of the struggles of finding oneself amidst the chaos of life. The first verse talks about spending days searching for reasons but finding every night to be just a blur. This could refer to the singer feeling lost or purposeless and turning to alcohol to numb the pain. They search for answers in the bottom of the bottle, hoping to find something that would make them surrender. However, the reality is that life isn't meant to be this hard, and the singer is reminded that they cannot look back since they have already gone too far. What they were is not who they are, and they need to move forward.


The second verse speaks of the singer's journey of self-discovery, retracing their steps to find out what led them to their bitter end. They realize that it wasn't their faithful friends who caused them pain but their own habits and tendencies. They had been chasing things that never told them the truth, and in doing so, they were running away from what was best for them.


"Who We Are" is a song that ultimately speaks of redemption and finding oneself in the midst of adversity. The lyrics remind the listener that they can't change the past but can only move forward and become better versions of themselves.

Just got the lyrics from Hunter so here you go:

I spend my days searching for reasons,
When every night is just a blur,
Searching the bottom of the bottom,
For the answers that make me surrender,

Chorus:
It bends, it breaks, it falls apart,
It wasn't meant to be this hard,
We can't look back, we've gone too far,
Who we were's not who we are,
It bends, it breaks, it falls apart,

Who we were's not who we are

Retracing steps to the things that bring your bitter end,
You've been putting all the emphasis on unfaithful friends,
You're running away from all the things that are best for you,
You've been chasing all the things that never tell you the truth

Chorus (again)

I spend my days searching for reasons,
When every night is just a blur,
Searching the bottom of the bottle,
This time you won't make me surrender.

Chorus (again)

Everything about this is so masterfully executed. The vocals, instrumentals, acting, cinematography, production, everything. How do you get so much talent in one video?!?!?
