Fall
Raphaella Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will the fear I know taint me
When it fills up both my lungs
And the world I know is against me
Sometimes I feel so cold
Devil's creeping in my soul
Cold cold cold cold
I need to learn how stop
And fall fall fall fall
And know you'll catch me
Ohhhh
Fall
Ohhhh
Fall fall
And now you'll catch me x2
All the rubble and dust beside me
All the rubble and dust within
I know there's something there worth finding
In the rubble, rubble
I hope the summer I feel inside me
Turns the winter into spring
If ever I forget remind me
Sometimes I feel so cold
Devil's creeping in my soul
And nothing can lift me up
Cold cold cold cold
I need to learn how stop
And fall fall fall fall
And know you'll catch me
Ohhhh
Fall
Ohhhh
Fall fall
And now you'll catch me x2
“Fall” by Raphaella is a song about letting go of fears and doubts and trusting that there is someone or something to catch you when you fall. The opening line, “Hope the heaven heaven”, can be interpreted as a cry for help, a plea to a higher power to guide and protect the singer. The fear that she mentions in the following lines represents the obstacles that she must overcome, and the world that is against her could be the judgments and expectations of others. However, she knows that she cannot go through life alone and needs someone to believe in her and support her, hence the lines “I need to learn how to stop and fall and know you’ll catch me”.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the importance of falling, which may seem counterintuitive, but it’s actually a symbol of surrendering and letting go of control. It encourages the listener to embrace vulnerability and to trust that everything will work out in the end. The bridge of the song mentions “the rubble and dust beside me” and “the rubble and dust within”, which can be interpreted as the singer’s emotional baggage and past mistakes. However, she believes that there is something worth finding in that rubble, and expresses hope that the summer she feels inside will turn the winter into spring. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, which reinforces the message of the song: that falling is not a sign of weakness, but an act of courage and faith.
