Fall Out
Mansun Lyrics

To ask anybody what I'm doing here
I never consider asking anyone why I am in this place

(It never) It never occurs to me
The thought of questioning my presence never crosses my mind

To ask anybody what I'm doing here, doing here
I never think to inquire about my purpose or reason for being in this place

(Four, five, six seven, eight nine ten, eleven twelve)
A counting sequence that serves as a momentary distraction or diversion from deeper thoughts

I know you're purely Marxist
I understand that your beliefs align strongly with Marxist ideology

Your philosophy's so cool
Your way of thinking and outlook on life is admirable

With your tranquillizers, valium and gin
You rely on medication and alcohol to cope with life's stresses

You talk of euthanasia
You discuss the ethical implications and practicalities of assisted suicide

And your breakdown was so cool
Your emotional or mental breakdown had an air of fashionable or trendy appeal

Did Stanley Kubrick fake it with the moon?
Is there a possibility that the moon landing was staged or fabricated?

This cult of positivity, once again, yeah
The prevailing mentality of promoting constant optimism is prevalent once more

But I didn't think about the fall out
I didn't consider the potential negative consequences or aftermath of this positive mentality

Fall out
The negative repercussions or consequences of a blindly optimistic outlook

This cult of positivity, once again, yeah
The preoccupation with maintaining a constant state of positive thinking is again on display

But I didn't think about the fall out
I neglected to consider the adverse effects that such a mentality could have

Fall out
The aftermath or negative consequences resulting from an overly positive outlook
