Sugar Falls
Tapping the Vein Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What am I waiting for?
Will somebody fall from Heaven and join me on the floor?
Why am I holding out?
Pretending it might make sense?
I will not understand this any better then
If sugar falls then we'll see
So, I'll wait, as I always wait
As I always wish for something more
What if I try escaping?
Hoping for some repair
And then what if all of this
Heartache follows to find me there?
If sugar falls all over me
If sugar falls then we'll see
So, I'll wait, as I always wait
As I always wish for something more
The lyrics to Tapping the Vein's song Sugar Falls talks about the feeling of being stuck in a situation or a place and waiting for something, anything to happen. The first stanza has the singer questioning why they are still in that place, waiting for something to happen. They even go so far as to ask if someone would fall from heaven to join them on the floor. The second stanza is in continuation with the first one, where the singer is questioning their actions and what they're waiting for, and stating that they will not understand it better.
The chorus in the song talks about the possibility of things changing if sugar falls all over them. Sugar here could be a reference to sweetness, something good that could happen in their life. It is almost as if the singer's wishful thinking is that something will come and cover them like a blanket that will make everything better, or like a sugar high that will give them a rush and help them forget their troubles. The singer has resigned themselves to their situation and is just waiting for that magical moment to happen, something that will make their life better.
Overall, the song is about feeling helpless and stuck in a situation, wanting something to happen but not having any control over it. The singer is waiting for something to change, hoping that something good will come their way to make their life better. The chorus highlights this desire by using the imagery of sugar falling all over them as a metaphor for a positive change.

I became a fan before they were big and signed. Their songs, and her lyrics, made me fall in love with being alone.

This reminds me of my freshman year in high school in 02'-03'. My friend gave me metal for the masses vol. 1 this was track number 12. I miss when metal was huge and had their own representation in the mainstream media
