Sky Is Falling
Metalium Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Vers 1:

In deepest night, there is no chance to escape
Don't ever dare
The power of the earth
First out of sight
It'll get you down
To where our species does belong

Chorus:

So watch the Sky falling,
Down to the Earth,
There's nowhere for you to hide

Choir: Vanished away

The sea swallows lives and daylight, bringing fear to the night
And all you can do is stand and stare

Choir: The power of the earth

Vers 2:

Our ignorance and our jealousy
Makes us believe
We rule our fate
We try to rewrite
And change the Genesis
But soon our weakness will be for all to see

Chorus:

So watch the Sky falling
Falling down to the Earth,
There's nowhere for you to hide

Choir: Vanished away

The sea swallows lifes and daylight, bringing fear to the night
And all you can do is stand and stare

Choir: The power of the earth
Ohhhhooooooouohhhhhhhhhhh, Ohhhhooooooouohhhhhhhhhhh,

(Solo)

Chorus:

So watch the Sky falling
Falling down to the Earth,
There's nowhere for you to hide

Choir: Vanished away

The sea swallows lives and daylight, bringing fear to the night
And all you can do is stand and stare
Stand and stare yeahyeahheheeeeeeeeeee

Stand and stare yeahyeahheheeeeeeeeeee
Choir: The power of the earth

Overall Meaning

The song "Sky Is Falling" by Metalium portrays the idea of the end of the world. The first verse illustrates how there is no way to escape from the wrath of the earth, and we should not dare to underestimate the power of it. No human can surpass the ultimate power of nature, and even if we try, it will ultimately bring us down to where we belong. The chorus emphasizes that when the sky falls, there is nowhere to hide. The choir's repetition of "vanished away" could represent the end of the world and how we would disappear if the sky fell. The second verse implies that humans' ignorance and jealousy have made us feel like we can control our fate, but we cannot change the natural course of Genesis. Our weakness will soon be revealed.

The song could be a warning to humanity that we should respect nature and its sovereignty. The power of nature is beyond any human power, and we should, therefore, take care of it, protect it, and work with it. Neglecting nature and taking it for granted can have disastrous consequences, including the sky falling on us. The song could also be a message about how we should be prepared and accept the inevitable end of the world.
