The Fall
Miocene Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Released of the moment
Revealing the mess you're in
Missing your armour
Craving your guardian renegades

Lost in the distance
Fate placed between us
Feeding the demons
Fear put between us

Can't move forward

You'll grow wings now that the autumn is dawning
Moves close and unwelcome
And too late the dawning brings hope of redemption
From yesterday's rage

Paint this listless
Reality in colours more magnificent than mine
Remain here with head bowed
As I sacrifice you all for another clever line
I'd eradicate every precious thought
You ever had if I could
Be the one who saw beyond the storm
It fascinates as it horrifies
I watch my mothers son reborn...

Released of the moment
Revealing the mess you're in
Gifts that frustration gives
Before it takes
Feeling the distance
The kind that cuts within, all
Gifts that frustration gives before it takes all
I've sunken low
To know myself
To truly know

That I will always be waiting for you
Someday to reach down and let me crawl up
But conversation dries, an electric silence
Decends and takes me over

Cold
Trapped within your glare
I feel
Forgotten
Must make this change or forgive

How
Can
It
All
Be
So

Clear?

Released of the moment
Revealing the mess, you're
Released of the moment
Revealing the mess you're
Released of the moment
Revealing the mess, you're
Released of the moment
Revealing the mess you're in...

Pride hides few flaws
Weigh my just cause
Cure my hurt sleep
Clear view cuts deep

Still ascendence hides




Behind my pride
Now will I always be here waiting?

Overall Meaning

Miocene's song "The Fall" is a reflection on the struggles and frustrations that come with the end of a relationship. The opening lines of the song speak to the vulnerability that comes with revealing one's true self to another person. When the relationship ends, a person can feel exposed and unprotected, craving the safety and security that their former partner provided. However, the distance and fear that was between them during the relationship prevents them from moving forward.


As the song continues, the singer grapples with their own feelings of anger and resentment towards their former partner. They describe wanting to erase every good memory they shared if it meant being able to move on from the pain of the breakup. The autumn season, a symbol of change and renewal, is seen as a double edged sword - it brings with it hope for the future, but it also serves as a painful reminder of the past.


The final lines of the song suggest that the singer is struggling to come to terms with their own role in the relationship's demise. They wonder if they will always be waiting for their former partner to come back to them, or if they will be able to let go and move on. The song ends on a poignant note of uncertainty and unresolved emotions.
