Crashing Down
Reflexion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your beautiful smile turned out to be faked and cruel
Turned out to be faked and cruel
The shape of an angel, but nothing inside
I was blinded by the gaze in your eyes
The gaze in your eyes is gone
(Chorus)
No more tears left to cry
I thought we were born to share this life,
Another victim of your lies
It's here and now, the moment of truth
No more lies, no angel disguise
No angel disguise
A touch so cold, it broke my heart
I am just another victim of your lies
Victim of your lies
I'm losing my mind,
Losing my will to live,
My strength to carry on
Our lust for this love is gone
(Chorus)
(Repeat)
The lyrics of Reflexion's song Crashing Down express the disappointment and heartbreak felt by someone who was deceived by their partner's false persona. The opening verse reveals the singer alone in their bed, ruminating on their relationship and the sudden revelation that the beauty and kindness they saw in their partner was just a façade. The partner's true colors are exposed, and the singer feels betrayed and hurt. The chorus captures the sense of emotional freefall that the singer is experiencing, characterized by the intense feeling of falling from a great height. The emotional turmoil they feel leaves them with no more tears to cry, suggesting they've reached a point of complete exhaustion.
As the lyrics continue, the singer confronts the reality of the situation. The second verse uses vivid imagery to describe the moment of truth when the lies are revealed, and the partner's angelic presence disappears. The touch of their partner's coldness is likened to something that breaks the singer's heart, and they acknowledge that they are now just another victim of their partner's deception. The final verse reveals the mental toll this experience has taken on the singer, who feels like they are losing their mind and their will to live. The strength they had to carry on in the relationship is gone, and they are left feeling empty and hopeless.
Line by Line Meaning
Alone in my bed, thinking of you
I am by myself and my thoughts revolve around you
Your beautiful smile turned out to be faked and cruel
Your attractive smile was a façade concealing your malicious intentions
Turned out to be faked and cruel
Your smile and demeanor were not genuine, but rather two-faced and malicious
The shape of an angel, but nothing inside
You appeared virtuous and holy, but your true self is devoid of goodness
I was blinded by the gaze in your eyes
Your look was so overwhelming that I could not see through your facade
The gaze in your eyes is gone
Your alluring glance has vanished, and I can now see the true you
Crashing down, from way too high
My expectations and dreams have plummeted suddenly and severely
No more tears left to cry
I have already shed all possible tears and cannot cry anymore
I thought we were born to share this life,
I believed that we were destined to spend our lives together
Another victim of your lies
You have deceived me and done harm to me, as you have done to others
It's here and now, the moment of truth
This is the present moment, where the truth is revealed
No more lies, no angel disguise
There will be no more deception, and your mask of virtue has been revealed for what it is
A touch so cold, it broke my heart
Your touch was frosty and emotionless, and it shattered my heart
I am just another victim of your lies
I am merely another person who fell prey to your manipulation
I'm losing my mind,
I am becoming insane
Losing my will to live,
I am losing my desire to continue living
My strength to carry on
I am losing my capacity to persevere through difficulties
Our lust for this love is gone
Our strong and passionate affection for each other has vanished
