Fall Your Way
Pete Murray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you can't depend on your instincts or your alibis
To play by the rules of these games being led by so many fools
You ignore the system that we're in 'cause you believe you're too good to commence in
When you notice it's only in your head
When you could justify yourself
To your friends they will help you when you fall
You're falling your way down to the floor
Can you tell me when you lying to your girlfriend's eyes
Does your blood run through your thighs
And send a chillin' pins and needles up your spine
When you notice it's only in your head
When you could justify yourself
To your friends they will help you when you fall
'Cause my friend you're about to hit the floor
Can't you see the mess you're in
Can't you see the mess you're in
Can't you see the mess you're in
Don't you care at all
You're so into your own life
That you don't care who else has any strife
When your friends don't want to come along
Then you realise what the hell went wrong
When you notice it's only in your head
When you could justify yourself
To your friends they will help you when you fall
'Cause my friend you're about to hit the floor
You're falling your way down to the floor
Pete Murray’s song “Fall Your Way” is a warning to those who are too self-assured, too independent-minded, and too confident in their own abilities that they have lost touch with reality. The song is about someone who believes that they can rely on their instincts and alibis, but in reality, they are ignoring the system that surrounds them. The lyrics suggest that the singer is so self-centered that they don’t notice the mess they are in and don’t care about others. The message is clear, if you don't pay attention to reality, you're going to fall, hard!
The chorus of the song, "When you notice it's only in your head, when you could justify yourself, to your friends they will help you when you fall," warns that it's never too late to reach out to your friends for help. When people start to fall, the only way they can regain their footing is by relying on their friends. The message of the song is that it doesn’t matter whether you're "too good" or "too cool" to fall. In the end, everyone falls and everyone needs help getting back up.
The verses of the song give specific examples of how people become too self-assured and too independent-minded. The lyric, "Can you tell me when you're lying to your girlfriend's eyes, does your blood run through your thighs, and send a chillin' pins and needles up your spine," is a reference to being dishonest with one's partner. The song suggests that people who deceive their partners are walking a very thin line and that they need to be mindful of the impact their actions have on others.
