Fall Hard
Shout Out Louds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gimme
To smoke a Belgian cigarette
I know is not forever
Is not god to star
Next to a European monument
Driving a joy on the ground highway
If you fall hard,
I fall harder if you fall hard,
I fall harder
If you gonna break your sneak break
I pick up the pictures and mistakes
Gimme a secret and I tell you
I need memories to see for others
And I know is not for ever is no go to start to
If you fall hard,
I fall harder if you fall hard,
I fall harder if you gonna break your sneak break
I pick up the pictures and mistakes
Fall in love to postcard,
Fall in love moving card from your town if you fall hard,
I fall harder if you fall hard,
I fall harder if you gonna break your sneak break
I pick up the pictures and mistakes
The lyrics to Shout Out Louds' "Fall Hard" are enigmatic and open to interpretation. The song seems to be about a relationship that is fleeting but intense. The singer is asking for a moment to pause and reflect, to enjoy a Belgian cigarette, and contemplate the transience of things. The line "I know is not forever, is not god to star" suggests a sense of impermanence and a recognition that nothing lasts forever.
The song also mentions driving on the ground highway and being next to a European monument, perhaps evoking a sense of adventure and freedom. It seems that the singer is willing to fall harder than the other person in the relationship, to take on more emotional risk and invest more deeply. The lyrics "If you gonna break your sneak break, I pick up the pictures and mistakes" suggest a willingness to be supportive and pick up the pieces after a breakup.
Overall, "Fall Hard" is a moody and introspective song that captures the complexities of human relationships and the fleeting nature of life.

This is the most addictive song I've found in years. I feel terrible these days, but that changes after a few chords of this. It's peppy on the surface but is implanted with vulnerability and desperation. I love it!

Man, I just love this video. I love how it's in the perspective of the lead singer as if he were performing live on a talk show. The song is amazing too.

This is great music. Heard it first on the radio in my car today, it took me real efforts to find out who is singing it and now I'm glad there are even the entire videos here on youtube. Thank you very much for uploading! I'll go and buy the CD right now!

Find die Band immer noch "tip top". Drittes Album ist genau so gelungen wie die die zwei Alben davor. Irgendwie eine Band die Stimmung mitbringt. Freu mich aufs Konzert!
