We fall
Lippie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I cannot find the proper gesture
Nothing fits together
And beyond, my skin,
Above me,
What are you asking me,
Instead of my heart?
He falls, in love, with me
He cannot find the l a y e r s
All he can do for now
Is staying, inside of my skin
Forever
Above me,
What are you asking me,
Instead of my heart?
It's like the sea for me.
Bing bowls, brain goes, rainbows
Drifting in some dark silent closets
Layers comming down here
To shelter us from the sides
Of faints, of love
Rainbows, flirting with a guy like me
Loving him for returning love to me
We can't reach all the sides of love
He likes to be with the holly Spirit
And so do I
The lyrics of Lippie's song We Fall speaks of two people who have fallen in love with each other, but are struggling to find the right way to express their feelings. The singer talks about how nothing fits together properly, and how they cannot find the proper gesture to express their love. The love is too big for words and it goes beyond their skin. The singer wonders why they are being asked for explanations, when it is their heart that speaks volumes. The singer compares the depth of their love to the vastness of the sea.
The second verse talks about the object of the singer's affection falling in love with them as well. The singer says that the object of their affection cannot find the layers, i.e. depths of their love, and can only stay inside their skin. The love is so deep, it is forever. The singer again wonders why they are being asked about their love, instead of being able to feel it in their heart. The singer says that the love is like the sea for them.
The last verse talks about the singer and their lover being together in a peaceful place. The singer makes references to "Bing bowls" and "brain goes" possibly indicating meditation or some other calming practice. They talk about love coming down in layers to protect them from the twists and turns of life. The singer loves their lover for loving them in return, and says that they cannot reach all the sides of love. In the end, both the singer and their lover want to be with the "holy spirit."
