Falling Inside the Black
Skillet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This sorrow takes a hold
Don't leave me, it's so cold
Never wanna be so cold
Your touch used to be so kind
Your touch used to give me life
I've waited all this time
Don't leave me alone
Cause I barely see at all
Don't leave me alone
I'm
Falling in the black, slipping through the cracks
Falling to the depths, can I ever go back?
Dreaming of the way it used to be, can you hear me?
Falling in the black, slipping through the cracks
Falling to the depths, can I ever go back?
Falling inside the black
Falling inside, falling inside
The black
You were my source of strength
I've traded everything
That I love for this one thing
Stranded in the offering
Don't leave me here like this
Can't hear me scream from the abyss
And now I wish for you, my desire
Don't leave me alone
Cause I barely see at all
Don't leave me alone
I'm
Falling in the black, slipping through the cracks
Falling through the depths, can I ever go back?
Dreaming of the way it used to be, can you hear me?
Falling in the black, slipping through the cracks
Falling through the depths, can I ever go back?
Falling inside the black
Falling inside, falling inside
The black
Black
Black
Black
Falling in the black
Slipping through the cracks
Falling through the depths, can I ever go back?
Dreaming of the way it used to be, can you hear me?
Falling in the black, slipping through the cracks
Falling through the depths, can I ever go back?
Falling inside the black
Falling inside, falling inside
In Skillet's "Falling Inside the Black", the lyrics depict a sense of hopelessness and despair as the singer pleads for someone not to leave them alone. The lines "Tonight I'm so alone, This sorrow takes a hold" suggests loneliness and being consumed by sadness. The singer reminisces the past where they were once happy and their partner's touch could bring them life. They feel that they have given up everything they love for one thing that has left them stranded and with nothing. The repetition of "Falling in the black, slipping through the cracks, Falling to the depths, can I ever go back?", conveys their feeling of being lost and descending into darkness with no way out. The phrase "Falling inside the black" is a representation of spiraling into despair and reaching the point of no return.
The song's overall theme can be linked to depression, addiction or a toxic relationship as it dives into a sudden and full submission to something uncontrollable. The idea of surrendering to that which consumes you can be devastating and may lead to nothingness.
