Fallout
Masked Wolf Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cold sweats, pupils shrinking
Don't know what I was thinking
Just felt like I was sinking
This is the fallout
Biting off the hand that feeds me
Stare into the void, I'm screaming
Can't find my soul in the debris
This is the fallout

Lift the rubble and all you gon' find is the ashes (ashes)
Moment of silence as I spiral down, learn from the crashes (crashes)
Cautious, the metamorphis gon' get you
Wolf in sheep's clothing, hope your eyes don't trick you (trick you)
Ain't the first time like meetin' and greetin'
Internal the bleeding on all fours like the seasons (word)
I take the lead when, wait, my head spinnin' like Apaches
There's poison in my blood, but it's feelin' like an attachment (word)
Roars out like lions, I'm fire-breathin' with dragons
So grounded, but so high, that's a carpet, and I'm Aladdin
I'm askin', can you imagine feelin' behind the past? And
I lost my soul, I lost that ho
But carry 'round that cross like a Pope do (Pope do)
Drowning in that water, lucky I got on them boat shoes (boat shoes)
All I was was hopeful
The transformation ain't myself, I can't keep control
See, I'm screaming for some help, I just wanna let go

Cold sweats, pupils shrinking
Don't know what I was thinking
Just felt like I was sinking
This is the fallout
Biting off the hand that feeds me
Stare into the void, I'm screaming
Can't find my soul in the debris
This is the fallout

This is the fallout
This is the fallout

The garden of Adam and Eve, who gon' show the greed?
You see the tree, but never think who sowed the seed
My outcome dependent on who gets outdone
Voices in my head that I can't ever outrun
Hmm, don't ever push my buttons
You might see the other side quicker, Benjamin Button
Shark bait to 'em, hook 'em and gut 'em, seein' me plummet
I keep 'em runnin' but that black hole keep on suckin', what?

You're the slaughter, I'm the lamb
Even when I'm sleepin', I got one eye open
You wanna see what I am?
Well, this is what I look like when the lights are broken

Cold sweats, pupils shrinking
Don't know what I was thinking
Just felt like I was sinking
This is the fallout
Biting off the hand that feeds me
Stare into the void, I'm screaming
Can't find my soul in the debris
This is the fallout

There's a darkness in me that will never let me
Go

This is the fallout
This is the fallout
This is the fallout
This is the fallout

Cold sweats, pupils shrinking
Don't know what I was thinking




Just felt like I was sinking
This is the fallout

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Fallout" by Masked Wolf and Bring Me the Horizon delve into the singer's feelings of dissatisfaction, discomfort, and despair. The opening lines describe physical symptoms of anxiety, including cold sweats and shrinking pupils. The singer doesn't know what they were thinking, but they felt like they were sinking. "This is the fallout" serves as a refrain and a reminder that the singer's current state is a result of some past action or decision that went wrong. The second verse includes metaphorical language such as lifting the rubble to find ashes, caution about not being tricked by appearances, and being like a wolf in sheep's clothing. The singer is also struggling to keep control and asks for help. The bridge alludes to the biblical story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, suggesting that greed and outcome dependence have lasting consequences. The song ends with a repetition of the refrain and a final assertion that the darkness within the singer will never let them go.

Cold sweats, pupils shrinking
Don't know what I was thinking
Just felt like I was sinking
This is the fallout
Biting off the hand that feeds me
Stare into the void, I'm screaming
Can't find my soul in the debris
This is the fallout

[Verse 1: Masked Wolf]
Lift the rubble and all you gon' find is the ashes
Moment of silence as I spiral down, learn from the crashes
Cautious, the metamorphosis gon' get you
Wolf in sheep's clothing, hope your eyes don't trick you
Ain't the first time like meetin' and greetin'
Internal the bleeding on all fours like the seasons
I take the lead, wait (Word)
Wait, my head's spinning like Apaches
There's poison in my blood, but it's feeling like an attachment (Word)
Roars out like lions, I'm fire breathing with dragons
Surrounded, but so high, there's a carpet and I'm Aladdin
I'm asking, can you imagine feeling behind the past? And
I lost my soul, I lost that hope
Been carrying 'round that cross like a Pope do
Drownin' in that water, lucky I got on them boat shoes
All I was was hopeful
The transformation ain't myself, I can't keep control
See, I'm screaming for some help, I just wanna let go

[Chorus: Oli Sykes]
Cold sweats, pupils shrinking
Don't know what I was thinking
Just felt like I was sinking
This is the fallout
Biting off the hand that feeds me
Stare into the void, I'm screaming
Can't find my soul in the debris
This is the fallout

[Post-Chorus: Oli Sykes]
This is the fallout
This is the fallout

[Verse 2: Masked Wolf]
The garden of Adam and Eve, who gon' show the greed
You see the tree, but never think, "Who sowed the seed?"
My outcome depending on who gets outdone
Voices in my head that I can't ever outrun
Hm, don't ever push my buttons
You might see the other side quicker, Benjamin Button
Shark bait to 'em, hook 'em and gut 'em, seeing me plummet
I keep on runnin', but that black hole keep on suckin', what?

[Pre-Chorus: Oli Sykes]
You're disorder, I'm a lamb
Even when I'm sleeping I got one eye open
You wanna see what I am
Well, this is what I look like when the lights are broken

[Chorus: Oli Sykes]
Cold sweats, pupils shrinking
Don't know what I was thinking
Just felt like I was sinking
This is the fallout
Biting off the hand that feeds me
Stare into the void, I'm screaming
Can't find my soul in the debris
This is the fallout

[Bridge: Oli Sykes]
There's a darkness in me that will never let me go
This is the fallout
This is the fallout
This is the fallout
This is the fallout

[Outro: Oli Sykes]
Cold sweats, pupils shrinking
Don't know what I was thinking
Just felt like I was sinking
This is the fallout (Out, out, out, out, out, out)

I’ll be honest: I had no idea who Masked Wolf is until I clicked on Astronaut in the Ocean and it sounded vaguely familiar. But listening to this song and seeing how committed he was to the heavy parts and breakdown it’s obvious he’s a real artist. Not afraid to leave his comfort zone and putting out a banger like this. Respect!

@TYFLOL

there's no breakdown

@denlog1177

If you have no idea who Masked Wolf is how and the F*** can you know if he left his comfort zone?

I am not trying to be a hater, but WTF?

Just enjoy the music, and stop trying to take in any hole like a ho...

@dev_kvcs

People shrinking is going into tunnel vision this is a bad trip is what that is if you want to ensure a good trip push yourself to the back of your mind and try to stay into the fish eye mode this is where you will have all of the information of the subconscious realm flow through your Singularity and you will know everything in the moment and it will be unexpressible
