Falling Apart
One Desire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Incurable disease
With no safetyness
Where nowhere left to breath
Love is like a flame
That burns away the fear
The pleasures and the pain
I should've walked away
I should've walked away
I should've walked away
But now I'm falling apart
I'm falling apart
I'm falling apart
I'm falling apart
I've got to learn to stop before I start
What if I run away
Take the easy way out
But you're running through my veins
I should just let you bleed out
Now I'm standing on the edge
With nowhere to go but down
Tell me are you gonna catch
Or will my heart just hit the ground?
I should've walked away
I should've walked away
I should've walked away
But now I'm falling apart
I'm falling apart
I'm falling apart
I'm falling apart
I've got to learn to stop before I start
It's tearing me apart
I can't think straight
I must be crazy
The lyrics of One Desire's song "Falling Apart" portray a tumultuous and intense emotional struggle. The opening lines of "A cold sweat, incurable disease, with no safetyness, where nowhere left to breathe" convey a sense of being trapped and suffocated in a situation that is beyond one's control. The singer is gripped by fear and unable to move beyond it.
However, the song also alludes to the power of love and its effect on fear. The chorus, with the lines "Love is like a flame, that burns away the fear, the pleasures and the pain, how did I end up here?" highlights that the singer's love has both the power to cause pain and the strength to overcome it. But in spite of it all, they are still close to the edge, tempted to walk away and take the easy way out.
The final lines of the song, "It's tearing me apart, I can't think straight, I must be crazy" further emphasize the intensity of emotions experienced by the singer, demonstrating the idea that love and fear can coexist, pushing one to the brink of madness.
