Fall on My Feet
Sasha Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cold to the touch
I′ve got more to give than this
I've got more to give
And hope′s not enough
There's a fire in control of this
And you feel it burning up
And it hurts to give in
But it hurts to feel nothin' anymore

And so you realize you′re letting go
And oh, he lies the faith I placed in him
Wish I could fall on my feet every now and then

So, in morning I′m gone
And I will never speak of this
Let lonely how you were
The house that we built
It only let the demons in
I could never let you down
And it hurts to give in
But it hurts to feel nothin' anymore

And so you realize you′re letting go
And oh, he lies the faith I placed in him
Wish I could fall on my feet every now and then
Wish I could fall on my feet every now and then

And I could not forgive myself if I'm entitled to
Watching from a distance, you′re now seeing the truth
Should I be home back to nothing if it's all I have left?
Slip away I′ve known it's you forgive and forget

And so you realize you're letting go
And oh, he lies the faith I placed in him




Wish I could fall on my feet every now and then
Wish I could fall on my feet every now and then.

Overall Meaning

In Sasha's song "Fall on My Feet", she explores the pain and difficulty of letting go of a relationship that has turned toxic, but ultimately realizing that it's necessary for her own wellbeing. In the opening lines, she describes herself as "cold to the touch" and feeling like she has more to give than what's left in the relationship. She acknowledges that hope alone isn't enough and that there's a fire within her that's burning up, representing her desire to be free of the toxic situation.


Throughout the song, Sasha expresses the pain of giving in and feeling like she's not even feeling anything anymore. She admits that it hurts to let go, but it hurts even more to stay stuck in a relationship that's not healthy. She also acknowledges that she's placing faith in someone who doesn't deserve it and wishes that she could "fall on [her] feet every now and then," indicating that she wants to be able to bounce back from this difficult situation.


In the verse, she also mentions the house that they built together, but notes that it only let demons in, symbolizing the negative influences that had infiltrated their relationship. Ultimately, Sasha decides to walk away from the situation and not speak of it again, as she finds it easier to be alone than to deal with the pain and toxicity of the relationship.

Tragic Sasha

Cold to the touch,
I got more to give than this,
I got more to give.

And hope's not enough,
'cos the fire's in control of this,
And you feel it burning out.

And it hurts to give in,
But it hurts to feel nothing anymore.

And so,
You realise you're letting go,
And oh,
You lost the faith you placed in him.
Wish I could fall on my feet every now and then.

So one morning I'm gone,
And I will never speak of this,
It'll only hurt you more.

The house that we built,
It only let the demons in,
And I could never let you down.

And it hurts to give in,
But it hurts to feel nothing anymore.

And so,
You realise you're letting go,
And oh,
You lost the faith you placed in him.
Wish I could fall on my feet every now and then.
Wish I could fall on my feet every now and then.

And I can't forgive myself if I am tethered to you,
Watching from a distance you'll be seeing the truth,
Should I be holding on to nothing if it's all I have left?
Slip away unnoticed you'll forgive and forget?

And so,
You realise you're letting go,
And oh,
You lost the faith you placed in him.
Wish I could fall on my feet every now and then.
Wish I could fall on my feet every now and then.

:P
