Things Fall Apart
Serafin Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do do do do do do do
Every tired second
Every heavy page
They fold into a nightmare
Almost turn to rage

I felt like I was dreaming
I should have been happy

I know I should need nothing
You never needed me

And its always raining
And its always raining
Californian girlfriend (Californian girlfriend)
I will call you from the end
Californian girlfriend (Californian girlfriend)
Things will fall apart again
Do do do do do do do

Everything you gave me
Everything you've known
Is the newest form of torture
The newest broken bone

Running out out of fortune
Running out of pain
And I'll benefit from sadness
The sadness kills my brain

Californian girlfriend
(Californian girlfriend)
I will call you from the end
Californian girlfriend
(Californian girlfriend)
Things will fall apart again

And its always raining
And its always raining
Californian girlfriend
I will call you from the end

Californian girlfriend
Things will fall apart again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Serafin's song "Things Fall Apart" delve into the singer's sense of detachment and dissatisfaction with his current state. He feels like his life has become a never-ending nightmare that's almost turning to rage. Though he should be happy, he's not. He feels like his Californian girlfriend doesn't need him, and this only fuels his despair. The reference to the Californian girlfriend could be a nod to how the singer feels detached from the world of glamour and success he had hoped for. Everything he's been given, and everything he's known seems to be a form of torture and a new broken bone. He feels like he's running out of fortune and pain and this is where he benefits from sadness. The sadness kills his brain as things fall apart again, and the rain doesn't seem to stop.
