Fall On Me
Stephen S. John Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Am i insane
So many questions
Left unanswered
Do you hear me
Do you see me
Lord i'm tired
Lord i'm tired
Can say in his heart
There's no God
Holy spirit
Help my unbelief
Don't let me fall
Jesus i need you
I need you now
Don't let me fall
Don't let me fall
Don't let me fall
Don't let me fall
It's been hard
I'm losing my mind
Send a revival
Wash me in your blood
Holy spirit
Help my unbelief
Don't let me fall
Jesus i need you
I need you now
Don't let me fall
Don't let me fall
Don't let me fall
Don't let me fall
The lyrics to John's song "Fall On Me" seem to be a plea to a person to fall in love. The first few stanzas discuss the nature of the person in question; that they are not someone who falls in love easily or goes along with passing fancies. They are described as someone who is not easily influenced by the winds of change. The chorus repeats the plea to fall in love, emphasizing the desire for this person to feel the same emotions as the singer.
The second half of the song shifts focus to a broader desire. The singer no longer wishes just for this one person to fall in love, but instead for the whole world to experience this feeling. They want to "fall in love with the world" and have the world fall in love in return. The line "all that we try, the tears that we cry, that fall just like the rain" further emphasizes the desire for love to be a unifying force that brings people together despite their hardships.
Overall, the song seems to be a hopeful plea for love and connection, both on a personal and universal level. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the urgency of this desire.

The fact that she's using her man as her pfp or maybe even his account/phone.. Seems like she's playing for him❤

How refreshing to hear a singer perform a simple song with a beautiful melody and lyrics in 2021 that sounds as if it belongs in the 1950's or 1960's. No synthesizers. Just raw talent. I like it a lot. I wish this young man success for many years to come!
