Falling apart
Michael Schulte Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am sleepless for a weekend
So I start to say goodbye
Say goodbye to all that we had
Say goodbye to what we lost

We don't talk
We're not enough
And the storms slowly arise
When the light turns
And the cold terms arise

We were out and out, through the storms, through the night
We were running in the dark, we were following our hearts
And we would fall down and we would slowly fall apart
We would slowly fall into the dark

The cold terms arise
The cold terms arise

It is hard to let it all go
Let the past just disappear
Try to run time from an old life
But it always drags me down

We don't talk
We're not enough
And the storms slowly arise
When the light turns
And the cold terms arise

We were out and out, through the storms, through the night
We were running in the dark, we were following our hearts
And we would fall down and we would slowly fall apart
We would slowly fall into the dark

And we were out and out, through the storms, through the night
We were running in the dark, we were following our hearts
And we would fall down and we would slowly fall apart
We would slowly fall into the dark

We were out and out, through the storms, through the night
We were running in the dark, we were following our hearts
And we would fall down and we would slowly fall apart
We would slowly fall into the dark





And the cold terms arise
And the cold terms arise

Overall Meaning

The song "Falling Apart" by Michael Schulte is a heart-wrenching ode to the end of a relationship. The opening line "I am sleepless for a weekend" demonstrates the singer's inability to rest, consumed by thoughts of saying goodbye to their former partner in the aftermath of a break-up. Throughout the song, they reflect on what they're leaving behind, recognizing that they can't hold onto the memories and must move on. The repeated line "We were out and out, through the storms, through the night" describes the hard work and struggles they faced as a couple, but ultimately, were unable to overcome. The final lines of the song repeat "And the cold terms arise," driving home the idea that despite the hard work and effort they put into the relationship, it ultimately ended in a cold and brutal manner.


The song's lyrics are incredibly relatable, as many people can empathize with the pain and sadness associated with a breakup. Michael Schulte's voice adds to the emotional weight of the song, with his falsetto reaching new heights during the chorus. The soft piano melody at the beginning of the song is a perfect juxtaposition with the intense emotions conveyed in the lyrics. Overall, "Falling Apart" is a beautiful and poignant song that reminds us of the difficulty of moving on from someone we loved.

I am sleepless for a weekend
So I start to say goodbye
Say goodbye to all that we had
Say goodbye to what we lost
We don't talk
We're not enough
And the storms slowly arise
When the light turns
And the cold terms arise
And we were running out, through the storms, through the night
We were running in the dark, we were following our hearts
And we would fall down and we would slowly fall apart
We would slowly fall into the dark
The cold terms arise
And the cold terms arise
It is hard to let it all go
Let the past just disappear
Try to untie from an old life
But it always drags me down
We don't talk
We're not enough
And the storms slowly arise
When the light turns
And the cold terms arise
And we were running out, through the storms, through the night
We were running in the dark, we were following our hearts
And we would fall down and we would slowly fall apart
We would slowly fall into the dark
And we were running out, through the storms, through the night
We were running in the dark, we were following our hearts
And we would fall down and we would slowly fall apart
We would slowly fall into the dark
And we were running out, through the storms, through the night
We were running in the dark, we were following our hearts
And we would fall down and we would slowly fall apart
We would slowly fall into the dark
The cold terms arise
And the cold terms arise



@monamour8133

This song...it relates to me very well..my best friend..we were so good..we used to call each other wifey,hubby. We used to have so much fun..so much love between us..so much plans for future..we used to say to each other, "u r my wife and I'm ur hubby, even if someday we get married to our future husbands, we will still be the same, if our husbands doesn't like it, then we will kick them to the moon together*

We were each other's heart..

She was my everything. Now I don't even know if her words were true or not. All things seems like lies..

Now we "slowly fell apart"

All things are now memories for me..

“Did you really want to die?"
"No one commits suicide because they want to die."
"Then why do they do it?"
"Because they want to stop the pain.”

So true. I never wanted to die because I didn't want to live anymore. I tried to kill myself because I wanted to end the pain.
