Falling apart
Taishi Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

今その背の影見つめて息を乱す
まだ苦しみから抜け出す残光否定し続ける

さあ糸を辿り暗闇共に歩めば
目に映る霞瞬き過去を結ぶ

離れ離れバラバラの心感じて
生きてあるがままその壊れた願いと

ほつれ出した糸を身に手繰り寄せても
駆ける未来止まらないその手を開いて

離れ離れバラバラの今を感じて
生きてあるがままその砕けた想いと

ほつれ出した糸を身に手繰り寄せても
駆ける未来止まらないその手を開いて

Overall Meaning

In Taishi's song Falling Apart, the lyrics describe the struggle of trying to move on from painful experiences while still being haunted by the memories. The first verse talks about how just looking at the shadow of the past can cause one's breathing to become erratic. The remnants of pain that linger continue to be denied and not fully released.

The second verse encourages taking a step forward into the darkness and following the thread (of life). Through the mist, one can connect to the past memories, but they are just fleeting moments. The chorus talks about feeling detached and fragmented but still holding onto the hope for a better future. The frayed threads of one's life are grasped onto, but no matter how hard one tries to pull them back together, the future will always be ahead and unstoppable. The lyrics urge one to open their hands and embrace the future, no matter how much the past might be holding them back.

Overall, the lyrics of Falling Apart convey a message about the struggle of dealing with past traumas but also the importance of moving forward and embracing the unknown future.
