The Fall
SR-27 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm losing parts of me
Seasons I've outgrown
Pile my past like leaves
No sentimentalities
I'm ready to let go
The air is sweet
The air is cold
Winter's pull
I've got a case of
Fall apathy
Wonder what I'll be like
Next year at this time
Never mind I don't care to know
Bask in liminal spaces
Passing through phases
Amber hues to dark winter's glow
I've got a case of fall apathy
I'm losing parts of me
Seasons I've outgrown
Pile my past like leaves
No sentimentalities
I'm ready to let go
And the air is sweet
The air is cold
I am young
I am old
I am here
Finally
I've got a case of
Fall apathy

Line by Line Meaning
I can be as humble as the next guy
I am capable of appearing modest and unassuming just like any regular person
Or I can blink and make you crumble from the inside
But I am also capable of causing immense damage and destruction effortlessly
I can be every nasty thing you ever dreamt a man could be
I have the potential to embody every terrible trait that you have ever wished a man to have
Cause they all fall down
Ultimately, everyone succumbs to their own shortcomings and failures
I can make you see the beauty of a new sun
On the other hand, I possess the power to help you see the world in a new light and find hope and joy
Or I can be the source of your desperation
Or I can instead be the root cause of your anguish and despair
Jaded dated I'm the type you hated
I understand that my demeanor and behavior may be off-putting and undesirable to some
Haunted
My past experiences and traumas continue to linger and haunt me
Taunted but I'm what you always wanted
Despite your reservations and reservations about me, I know that deep down you desire and crave me
Yeah yeah I'm what you always wanted
Yes, indeed, I am the person you have always longed for and been attracted to
You can turn away like you don't even see me
You have the ability to choose to ignore and disregard me entirely
You can smile and act like you got something I need
Or, alternatively, you can put on a facade and pretend that you have something that I desire
But every night you go home alone and dream about being underneath me
However, I know that deep down you fantasize about being intimately involved with me
Can't you see through this disguise
I implore you to look beyond the facade that I present and truly see me for who I am
And find the little boy inside
Perhaps, if you look closely, you will uncover the vulnerable and innocent side of me
I'm afraid of falling love is pain and now she's calling
But, in reality, I am fearful of falling in love because past experience has taught me that it is often painful and fraught with complications. Despite my fears, however, someone is reaching out to me and inviting me to take a chance on love.
