The Fall
Regarde Les Hommes Tomber Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The plain of Shinar
We stopped our hitch
Staring at Nimrod
Build
Rise
To rise the heaven
We raised our hands
To the holy pride of Babel
Yet our father, disagreed
Then split our tongues and fields
The land of God is the place
Where we belong
We're not afraid
Of the hands of Lord anymore...
For he is the weak
His monstrous reign
Must take end now
We must bring Him
Down to the earth
Where He belongs
For salvation
For He is guilty
For we are men
For he is the weak
The lyrics of "The Fall" by Regarde Les Hommes Tomber reflect the story of the Tower of Babel from the book of Genesis in the Bible. The song starts by setting the scene, as the singer mentions reaching the plain of Shinar. This refers to the location where the Tower of Babel was built according to the biblical narrative. The singer, along with others, stops their journey and gazes at Nimrod. Nimrod is mentioned in the Bible as a mighty hunter and a king who was involved in building the city of Babel.
The next few lines describe the construction of the tower. The people built the tower in an attempt to reach heaven, symbolizing their pride and ambition. They raised their hands in reverence to the tower, a representation of their belief in its significance. However, their father, likely referencing God or a divine figure, disagreed with their actions. As a consequence, their languages were confused, symbolized by the reference to splitting tongues, and their fields were scattered.
The rest of the lyrics suggest a rebellion against God and a shift in power dynamics. The singer proclaims that they are no longer afraid of God's hands and see Him as weak. They view His reign as monstrous and believe that it must come to an end. The plan is to bring God down to earth and hold Him accountable for their suffering. The singer emphasizes their humanity and that God is the weak one in this scenario.
Overall, "The Fall" explores themes of human pride, rebellion against divine authority, and the desire to take control of one's own fate.
