Fall
Lij Gilmour Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe I've been here for way too long
Leave me in the cold, you say, you said that you won't
I know that you're fine, you just lie
Lights shine from your window and I don't even see
You had me at one more time
Now we're struggling to even see the road
Tell me
Where do you fall when you're swimming
Lost in your eyes, like the stars
Where
Do you fall in the ocean
Will you be lost when you're swimming
Swimming now
Swimming now
Swimming now
Swimming now
Tell me that you feel this way
And I won't let this go
Maybe I've been seeing this all wrong
Leave me in the cold you say
You said that you won't
Maybe I'm not fine, I just lie
Lights shine from your window and I don't even see
You had me at, one more time
Now we're struggling to even see the road
Where did I go wrong, I'm fine
Tell me
Where do you fall when you're swimming
Lost in your eyes, like the stars
Where
Do you fall in the ocean
Will you be lost when you're swimming
Swimming now
Swimming now
Swimming now
Swimming now
The lyrics to Lij Gilmour's song Fall seem to revolve around a relationship that has taken a turn for the worse. The singer talks about opening the door for the other person and telling them to go home, indicating a sense of frustration and perhaps even a desire to end things. The repetition of the line "Maybe I've been here for way too long" suggests that the singer has been stuck in this relationship for a while and is now starting to question why they're still in it.
The other person seems to be trying to distance themselves, telling the singer to leave them in the cold and lying about their own feelings. The lights shining from their window could represent their own inner turmoil or the facade they're putting up to hide their true emotions. The line "Now we're struggling to even see the road" could indicate that both parties are having trouble seeing a way forward, and the singer wonders where they went wrong. Despite all this, the singer repeats the phrase "I'm fine," perhaps trying to convince themselves or the other person that everything is okay when it clearly isn't.
The chorus is a series of questions, asking where the other person falls when they're swimming - lost in their own thoughts and feelings like the stars in the sky or lost in the depths of the ocean. The repetition of the phrase "Swimming now" could represent the feeling of being adrift or in over one's head. The singer wants the other person to be honest about their feelings, promising not to let go if they do.
All in all, the lyrics to Fall convey a sense of confusion, frustration, and longing for honesty and clarity in a relationship that has become strained.
