Fall at Your Feet
Saint Raymond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I commit can I keep myself whole,
Am I wasting time on my own,
Woah oh oh
On my own
How do I start,
Tripping over my head and my heart,
Woah oh oh
No oh oh,
Why should I care at all
Watch me fall at your feet,
Give it all to make you feel complete,
But who am I trying to be,
Who am I trying to please,
You can have it woah oh oh,
You can have it oh oh oh,
You can have it woah oh oh,
You can have it oh oh oh,
Have I got that much to give,
Maybe I'm losing and trying to resist,
Should I just go with it,
Woah oh oh
Go oh oh
Why should I care at all,
Watch me fall at your feet,
Give it all to make you feel complete,
But who am I trying to be,
Who am I trying to please,
You can have it woah oh oh,
You can have it oh oh oh,
You can have it woah oh oh,
You can have it oh oh oh,
Have it oh,
Round and round we just keep going
Back and forth this tide keeps flowing,
Round and round we just keep going
Back and forth this tide keeps flowing
You can have it woah oh oh, (Round and round we just keep going)
You can have it oh oh oh, (Back and forth this tide keeps flowing)
You can have it woah oh oh, (Round and round we just keep going)
You can have it oh oh oh, (Back and forth this tide keeps flowing)
Watch me fall at your feet,
You can have it woah oh oh,
But who am I trying to be,
You can have it oh oh oh,
Watch me fall at your feet,
You can have it woah oh oh,
But who am I trying to be,
You can have it oh oh oh,
Round and round we just keep going
Back and forth this tide keeps flowing,
Round and round we just keep going
Back and forth this tide keeps flowing
The lyrics of Saint Raymond's "Fall at Your Feet" describe a person's internal struggle between commitment and the fear of losing oneself in a relationship. The persona questions the worth of their own time and effort, wondering if it is worth giving everything to someone else. They also express uncertainty about their own identity and who they want to be, wondering if they are merely trying to please someone else.
The line "Watch me fall at your feet, give it all to make you feel complete" speaks to the persona's desire to please someone without losing themselves in the process. However, the repetition of "you can have it" in the chorus suggests that the persona is willing to sacrifice themselves to please the person they are singing to.
The song employs metaphors of tides and flowing water to create a sense of the cyclical nature of relationships. The line "round and round we just keep going, back and forth this tide keeps flowing" reflects the inevitability of falling in and out of love, and the difficulty of finding balance in a relationship.
Overall, the lyrics of "Fall at Your Feet" explore the struggles of commitment, identity, and pleasing others while maintaining one's own agency and sense of self.

Woah oh oh

On my own
Being unaccompanied and solo
How do I start,
Asking how to initiate action

Feeling confused and torn between thoughts and emotions
Don't think I'll be the last,
Assuming that others have experienced similar uncertainty
No oh oh,
Indicating disagreement or denial

I swear God I can't understand how someone dislike him. He is just perfect, he has the greatest voice, greatest lyrics. And he is only 19. I can't wait for radios to discover him and show him to the world because right now the majority of the world dont listen to good music. Please, please, please come to Portugal, please, please. I adore you, Cal. s2
