The Fall
Petite Noir Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm closer to you
But I wonder
Just what we haven't sung
Just take this real love
I feel the thunder
Don't tell me I'm alright, no, no
Don't tell me I'm alright
And when the night
Falls, I'll be yours for life
And if it feels right
We'll go down in time

When will this be fun?
I don't know why I laugh
I feel it like forever
Don't be so demanding
Don't worry, it's alright
You're nothing in my life
I see you in your splendour
I feel you in my fire

When the night
Falls, I'll be yours for life
And if it feels right
We'll go down in time

And when the night
Falls, I'll be yours for life




And it feels right
We'll go down in time

Overall Meaning

Petite Noir's song The Fall expresses conflicting emotions of love and uncertainty. The singer mentions being closer to their lover, but still wonders what they haven't said or sung to each other. The lyrics convey that despite feeling real love, there is still a stormy feeling within the singer, almost as if there is something holding them back from fully embracing their emotions. This is demonstrated when the singer says, "Don't tell me I'm alright, no, no," which suggests that everything may not be okay in the relationship.


Towards the end of the first verse and in the chorus, the singer reaches a conclusion that they will be theirs for life when the night falls and if it feels right, they will go down in time. There is a sense of reluctance in the singer's voice, making listeners question whether this conclusion is truly what they want. The second verse seems to be addressed to the lover, where the singer wonders when these emotions will be fun and laughs despite feeling as though they will last forever.


In summary, The Fall is a song riddled with complexities and emotions that showcase the singer's struggle to fully embrace their love, which may be hindered by doubt and fear.
