Falling apart
TRUSTcompany Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Further from you
Trying to find what is real
Your somebody else
That I never know
And someone that I can feel
I show you away I keep it real
To keep me alive
So you take me
And you break me
And you see I'm falling apart
Complicate me
And forsake me
You pushed me out so far
There's no more feeling
I slipped away
Closer to me
The only thing that was real
I'm falling behind
And now I can see
Absence helps me heal
I showed you away
I keep you for me
Is this what it takes
To keep me alive
So you take me
And you brake me
And you see I'm fallin' apart
Complicate me
And forsake me
You pushed me out so far
There's no more feeling
There's no more feeling
So you take me
And you break me
And you see I'm falling apart
Complicate me
And forsake me
You push me out so far
And you take me
And you break me
And you see I'm falling apart
There's no more feeling
No more feeling
No more feeling
The song "Falling Apart" by TRUSTcompany is a melancholic track that delves into the struggles of a person who has lost touch with their loved one. The lyrics speak of the singer's attempts to find a connection with their partner, which seems to be slipping further away. The singer expresses their frustration, comparing the person they used to know to somebody else entirely. They feel lost and disconnected, and the relationship seems to be slipping away.
The song's chorus shows the pain and heartbreak of being pushed too far. The singer feels complicated and forsaken, and the feelings are so overwhelming that they no longer feel anything. The lyrics suggest that the person can no longer deal with the relationship, and they feel as if they are falling apart. The separate parts of the song seem to explore different stages of the singer's process of dealing with their relationship.
Line by Line Meaning
I slipped away
I distanced myself from you
Further from you
I moved away from you even more
Trying to find what is real
I was searching for something authentic
Your somebody else
You've become someone I don't recognize
That I never know
You are someone that I can't understand
And someone that I can feel
I'm looking for a connection with someone
I show you away I keep it real
I am honest with you and show you my true self
Is this what it takes
Is this what is necessary to survive
To keep me alive
To keep myself going
So you take me
You take me in your arms
And you break me
You hurt me and cause me emotional pain
And you see I'm falling apart
You witness my emotional breakdown
Complicate me
You make things difficult for me
And forsake me
You abandon me when I need you the most
You pushed me out so far
You have caused me to distance myself from you
There's no more feeling
I am emotionally numb
Closer to me
I became closer to myself
The only thing that was real
The only thing that I knew was true
I'm falling behind
I am struggling to keep up with the rest
And now I can see
I can now perceive things clearly
Absence helps me heal
Distance from you has helped me recover
I keep you for me
I keep a part of you with me
No more feeling
I am devoid of emotions
