Fall in Love

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So don't forget it
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because
I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love, no no, it's because..
But then again
That doesn't mean you mean that much to me
So if I call you
Don't make a fuss
Don't tell your friends about the two of us
I'm not in love, no no, it's because..
I keep your picture
Upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain that's lying there
So don't you ask me
To give it back
I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me
I'm not in love, no no, it's because..
Ooh you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh you'll wait a long time
Ooh you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh you'll wait a long time
I'm not in love
So don't forget it
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
The lyrics to "Fall In Love" by Phantogram explore the topic of infatuation and the confusion it can bring. The singer emphasizes that they are not actually in love with the person they are addressing, but that their strong feelings are simply a passing phase. The repetition of the phrase "I'm not in love" serves to emphasize the singer's point and to remind the listener (and perhaps themselves) of the fact.
However, the singer also acknowledges that they enjoy the company of the person they are speaking to and that they have a certain fondness for them. The lines "I like to see you / But then again / That doesn't mean you mean that much to me" demonstrate the singer's conflicted emotions and uncertainty about their true feelings. They also caution the other person not to read too much into their calls or to make assumptions about their relationship.
The singer's ambivalence is further illustrated by the mention of a picture that they keep on their wall, which covers up a stain. Despite the fact that the picture does not hold much meaning for them, the singer is not willing to give it up. This can be seen as a metaphor for their relationship with the person they are addressing: while they may not be deeply in love, their feelings still serve a purpose and bring comfort.
Overall, the lyrics to "Fall In Love" explore the complex emotions that can arise from infatuation and the difficulty of separating true love from passing phases. The song's dreamy and atmospheric instrumentation emphasizes the ethereal and uncertain nature of these emotions.

This is honestly a fucking masterpiece. I don't even listen to this genre of music, I listen to rap. But the production (especially the electric base, choppy loops and those violin breaks), vocals and visuals that go along with it make this song so amazing and somehow powerful. I can feel each rhythm and beat, every line of lyrics... It's so unique. Such an underrated song.
edit: 3 years later still bumpin this gem
edit 2: finna turn 19 soon and this definitely opened the floodgates for me when it comes to music. i listen to plenty different genres now 🤓

Love
It was enough to recognize
To see
I was the reason you feel sick inside
Fall in need
I let you bleed
Cause you were fallin, I'm sorry, baby
Cause you were fallin, I'm sorry
Love
It cut a hole into your eyes
You couldn't see
You were the car I crashed
Now you're burning alive
Fall in need
I let you bleed
Cause you were fallin, I'm sorry, baby
Cause you were fallin, I'm sorry
Babe
The night has swallowed my soul
Could it be that I fell apart
It shows
The lines on the face ate away my smile
Could it be that I fell apart
Fall in need
I let you bleed
Cause you were fallin, I'm sorry, baby
Fall in need
I let you bleed
Cause you were fallin, I'm sorry, baby
Fall in need
