Falling apart
Stoned Jesus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Falling apart we proud
We′re too close to the sun
Heat we felt was so loud
Burnt us down to the ground

Spiraling down we go
From the Sun to the core
Drifting in clouds we float on
Into the nevermore





Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the Stoned Jesus song "Falling Apart" are deeply metaphorical and suggestive of a slow spiraling descent into nihilism and despair. The opening lines of the song express a sense of pride and confidence, but there is a sense that this self-assuredness is unsustainable, and that the band is getting too close to the sun. The heat they feel is loud and all-consuming, yet they keep pushing forward, blinded by their own hubris.


As the song progresses, the narrative shifts to one of descent and degradation. The image of spiraling down is repeated, and the notion of descending from the sun to the core evokes the idea of falling into darkness and insignificance. The lyrics suggest that the band is drifting aimlessly, floating on clouds that offer no respite from their existential anguish. The final line of the song, "into the nevermore," is particularly evocative, suggesting that the band is falling into some kind of void or oblivion.


Overall, the lyrics of "Falling Apart" are suggestive of a sense of disillusionment and despair, as the band finds itself slowly unraveling and drifting towards some kind of inevitable doom.


Line by Line Meaning

Falling apart we proud
Despite our downfall, we remain defiant and unbroken


We're too close to the sun
Our arrogance and thirst for power has led us to our own destruction


Heat we felt was so loud
The intensity of our desires and actions was overwhelming, consuming us completely


Burnt us down to the ground
Our own recklessness and hubris brought us to ruin


Spiraling down we go
Our trajectory is a downward spiral, with no hope of redemption


From the Sun to the core
We've fallen from the greatest heights to the deepest depths


Drifting in clouds we float on
We're lost and directionless, adrift in a fog of our own making


Into the nevermore
We're slipping away into oblivion, with no chance of coming back
