Fall
Of Summers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I shrivel more into colors you ignore
As the earth swallows me
You crush the fire red
Standing on my head you crush the fire red
Leaving me for dead
Splendid decay spiraling down to my toes
Yellow wilts holes for you to see through
Crumpled blue my bare pink womb can't shelter you
You crush the fire red
Standing on my head you crush the fire red
Leaving me for dead
Splendid decay spiraling down to my toes
Black stemmed orange trimmed
With the slightest wind I'm falling from you
Dry and loud stained and proud
Like a bursting cloud I'm falling from you
You're so mean when you scream in bright green
In my ear you're loud and clear I can hear
Sunken and gray you used to say I'm not enough for you
I will bleed you a seed to start a new I'm falling from you
Black stemmed orange trimmed
With the slightest wind I'm falling from you
Dry and loud stained and proud
Like a bursting cloud I'm falling from you
The lyrics to Of Summersβ song Fall are open to interpretation, however, one possible interpretation is that the song is about a person feeling neglected and unnoticed by a loved one. The imagery in the lyrics speaks to the way that this person is fading away and becoming insignificant to the other person. The lines βI shrivel more into colors you ignoreβ and βAs the earth swallows me / You crush the fire redβ suggest that this person feels like they are disappearing while their partner remains unchanged. The chorus repeats the phrase βYou crush the fire red / Standing on my headβ which reinforces the idea of one person exerting power over the other.
The second verse adds to this feeling of neglect, with the lines βYellow wilts holes for you to see through / Crumpled blue my bare pink womb can't shelter youβ. This implies that the other person is looking right through the person singing the song, and that they feel like they canβt provide for them emotionally. The final verse brings in an entirely new set of images, but still speaks to the idea of a relationship breaking down. The lines βYou're so mean when you scream in bright green / In my ear you're loud and clear I can hearβ suggest that the other person is being unreasonable and hurtful. However, the song ends on a hopeful note with the line βI will bleed you a seed to start a new I'm falling from youβ. This suggests that the person singing the song is ready to move on from this relationship and start again.
