Falling Into Place
Mike Viola and the The Candy Butchers Lyrics

The first verse of Mike Viola and the The Candy Butchers's song "Falling Into Place" seems to be about the singer's struggle to keep control of his life. He tells us that he "slept with one eye open", suggesting that he was always on guard, ready for anything that might disrupt his carefully orchestrated world. He also "kept [his] self control", which implies that he was determined not to give in to temptation or impulse. He knew that if he did, his carefully built life would fall apart. The line "It made no sense to let it go" suggests that there were things he wanted to do or say, but chose not to, because he didn't want to upset the balance of his life.

In the second verse, the singer seems to have had a change of heart. He talks about finding his "shadow trying to strike the sun", which suggests that he has realized that he was trying too hard to control everything, and it was time to let go. He also says that he realizes that "It's out of my hands", meaning that he can't control everything, and he's okay with that. From then on, "everything is falling into place", meaning that he's letting go and allowing things to happen naturally.

Overall, "Falling Into Place" is a song about the struggles of control, and how sometimes it's better to let go and let things happen the way they're supposed to. It's also a reminder that we can't control everything, and that's okay.
