Don't Fall In Love
Still Corners Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Call your name
Fall in love
But you say
'Don't you dare fall in love'
Don't you dare fall in love
Say I wont
Just to late
All I know
Time won't wait
Don't you dare fall in love
Don't you dare fall in love
Time stands still
Call your name
Fall in love
But you say
'Don't you dare fall in love'
Don't you dare fall in love
Over and Over again
Over and Over again
Over and Over again
Over and Over again
The lyrics of Still Corners' song Don't Fall In Love speak of a contradicting and almost painful situation of being in love but being told not to fall in love. The repetition of time standing still and the name being called add to the sentiment of the situation being frozen in time with intense emotions. The phrase "fall in love" itself gives a sense of inevitability, as though love is not something that can be controlled or stopped. Yet, the repeated command of "Don't you dare fall in love" adds a sense of urgency and fear to the situation, as though falling in love can lead to some undesired consequence.
The second stanza also addresses the idea of time, but now with a sense of regret. The singer admits it is too late to deny their feelings, showing they have indeed fallen in love. The line "All I know, time won't wait" could be interpreted as the singer acknowledging that time is short and they do not want to miss the chance to be in love. However, the repeated command of "Don't you dare fall in love" from an unknown source continues to add a sense of tension and anxiety to the situation.
Overall, the lyrics of Don't Fall In Love are emotional and conflicting, conveying a sense of inevitability and urgency to love, yet also the fear and doubt that come with it.
