Skyfall
Neve Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I had a dream I fell behind a hidden wall
Began to see a world through new eyes
I can't wake up I don't really want to figure out
What it means to rush right through this life

Upside-down on a ceiling floor
I don't think I'll be coming back for more
Running blind into what I see
Not afraid to set it free
That's just the way it should be

CHORUS:
When will the sky fall beneath us?
Will we make sense of it all?
I'm going through things in my mind
We just hide behind
And I'm not the only one

I took a turn and got stuck inside
This played out scheme

A revolution underneath your blue sky
I'm underground so come around and upside down
We will try
To look beyond ourselves so we both can survive


Flashback dropping in a state of bliss
Hooked up wishing but it doesn't really exist
I won't die in a dream that's dead
I'd rather take in the head
That's just the way it should be

REPEAT CHORUS

Well I don't know

Upside down on a ceiling floor
I know that I'll be coming back for more
I filter out through a faded screen
A Universe so obscene
Tell me now when it's time to cut free
We'd better start living better take another leap





REPEAT CHORUS

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Neve's song "SkyFall" speaks about a dream that the singer had in which she falls behind a hidden wall, experiencing the world through new eyes that makes her not want to wake up or figure out what it means to rush through life. She expresses her willingness to take risks and is not afraid to set herself free. She does not want to hide behind things, and she knows she is not the only one going through such experiences. The chorus is about when the sky will fall beneath them, and if they will ever make sense of it all. She wonders if they can move beyond themselves and survive.


The song has an upbeat and energetic feel to it, starting with the lyrics "I had a dream, I fell behind a hidden wall" before more instruments kick in, driving the song forward. It then transitions into the pre-chorus where the singer expresses her desire to take risks and not be afraid to set herself free. This anthem-like quality is further emphasized in the chorus, in which the music becomes even more explosive, with the lyrics demanding answers to some of the most pressing questions in life.
