Fear of Falling
M Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think that I can,
I know that I can, reverse,
Reverse the damage,
The damage I've done to you
And I, I think I found you,
I know I saw you,
It's all you need,
And I wanted to look back at you
The tension snaps
Your love is good for me,
We never over-reached,
For fear of falling
I, I saw you enter-entertaining,
Repeating your difference,
I got the time,
And you forgot your lines again
Wanting to know you,
But I'm always late,
And I had to give you back
You know that I lie,
Dead in the water,
A game of hide and seek
The tension snaps
Your love is good for me,
We never over-reached,
For fear of falling
Your love, you know that it's good for me,
We nearly over-reached,
My signal is failing
Your love, you know that it's good for me
The same old roads,
The same old bricks,
The same old faces that you hate
The same old roads,
The same old bricks,
The same old faces that you hate
The lyrics to M's song Fear of Falling are complex and open to interpretation, but it seems to be about the fear of being vulnerable and the struggle to reverse the damage done to a relationship. The first verse expresses a desire to undo pain that has been caused, and a determination to make things right. The second verse describes trying to connect with someone, but being hindered by fear and insecurity. The tension snaps in the chorus, suggesting a release of pent-up emotions, but there is still a sense of caution and hesitancy. The final verse returns to images of sameness and routine, perhaps suggesting a fear of getting stuck in a cycle of missed connections and unresolved conflicts.
Overall, the song seems to explore the difficult balance between openness and protection, and the fear of losing control or being hurt. It evokes a sense of longing for connection, while also acknowledging the dangers and uncertainties involved in opening up to someone else.

If you want to get comfortable falling make practice falls part of your warmup routine. I take 1-3 falls on my warmup route, gets the nerves out since you've already fallen. Really helps if you do practice falls every time you climb, they become boring until you stop doing them.
@dani9114
I’m sure you often change your rope 😅
@zacharylaschober
consistency is of amazing value here, and often programming for falls becomes single or a few sessions when this should be treated alike other interventions with progressive overload and a minimum effective dose model. Fall a few times during warming procedures and then switch to top rope if you want until the next session and add a little height, and on and on until a while later you are doing some moving falls without being explicit to the belayer where still as part of the warmup.
@FlashEscalade
I watched this video even if I have no fear of falling. and I don't regret it. I know how to help others thanks to you
@zaamhaelim
Fantastic video.
Have you ever done a similar video about overcoming the fear of falling when bouldering?
@rickyscott4738
I actually thought that was what this video was about 😥 hopefully he can do one soon, because falling while bouldering can be scary as hell
@Djdavidnyan
thank you, I really want to work on it this year!
@stefanomorandi7150
i noticed that having my trusted belayer rather than someone already vetted but not by myself (a friend of a friend) improves my leading A LOT... i wish training courage was easy as training muscles and tendons
@NikkG97
