Skyfall
Sam Tsui Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hold your breath and count to ten
Feel the earth move and then
Hear my heart burst again
For this is the end
I’ve drowned and dreamt this moment
So overdue I owe them
Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
We'll face it all together
Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
We'll face it all together
At skyfall
Skyfall is where we start
A thousand miles and poles apart
Where worlds collide and days are dark
You may have my number, you can take my name
But you’ll never have my heart
Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
We'll face it all together
Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
We'll face it all together
At skyfall
Let the sky fall
As it crumbles
We will face it all
We will face it all
Where you go I go
What you see I see
I know I’d never be me
Without the security
Of your loving arms
Keeping me from harm
Put your hand in my hand
And we’ll stand
Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
We'll face it all together
Let the sky fall
As it crumbles
And we will stand tall
Face it all together
At skyfall
At skyfall
At skyfall
The song "Skyfall" by Sam Tsui has a melancholic tune which perfectly fits with the lyrics that seem to convey the feeling of facing the end of something. The beginning lines of the song, "This is the end, Hold your breath and count to ten, Feel the earth move and then, Hear my heart burst again," can be interpreted in different ways. It could be referring to the literal end of something, like a relationship or a life, or it could be a metaphorical end of a chapter in life or the end of a long overdue struggle. The second stanza, "For this is the end, I’ve drowned and dreamt this moment, So overdue I owe them, Swept away, I’m stolen," refers to the anticipation of an impending end, as if it's something that has been long-awaited for or even unwanted but inevitable.
The chorus, "Let the sky fall, When it crumbles, We will stand tall, We'll face it all together," highlights the message of standing strong and facing the end, whatever it may be, as long as it is faced with someone who is willing to brave it along with you. The line "Skyfall is where we start, A thousand miles and poles apart, Where worlds collide and days are dark," could be interpreted in multiple ways. It could mean starting over from scratch or starting a new adventure, and the latter part suggests that it wouldn't be an easy journey.

This is the end
The journey has reached its conclusion
Hold your breath and count to ten
Prepare yourself for what comes next
Feel the earth move and then
Watch as everything changes
Hear my heart burst again
Feel the intensity of emotions
For this is the end
The end has come
I’ve drowned and dreamt this moment
This situation has been imagined and has been long-awaited
So overdue I owe them
This is a long-awaited moment which has been delayed, and now it is time to face it.
Swept away, I’m stolen
Overwhelmed by the situation, have no control over what is happening
Let the sky fall
Let the inevitable happen
When it crumbles
When it all falls apart
We will stand tall
We will overcome this and stay strong
We'll face it all together
We'll get through this situation by working as a team
At skyfall
At the point of collapse
Skyfall is where we start
This new chapter is the beginning of a new adventure
A thousand miles and poles apart
We are far from each other, in different worlds
Where worlds collide and days are dark
A place where confusion and uncertainty reign
You may have my number, you can take my name
You may know my contact and my identity, but I will still hold on to my independence
But you’ll never have my heart
You will never control what I truly feel in my heart
As it crumbles
As everything falls apart
Where you go I go
We are in this together, and I will always be by your side
What you see I see
We share the same experiences and perspective
I know I’d never be me
I wouldn't be myself without you
Without the security
Without the safety net
Of your loving arms
Your love and care give me a sense of security
Keeping me from harm
Protecting me from danger
Put your hand in my hand
Let's hold hands and face this together
And we’ll stand
We will face this situation head on

Adele is the best at what she does. I believe no one can sing her songs better than herself. But you did an awesome job with this cover. Keep it up.

I think You Can't really compare the original and this cover... They totally changed the harmonies for this cover, which creates a total New feeling and Sound. I personally love them both the same. Both very individual and definitely performed by very talented people :)
@jerenelizabeth3188
