The Fall
The Honey Trees Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let the ground crack.
Let me fall inside,
lying on my back
lying on my back
Dry your smoke-stung eyes,
so you can see the light.
watching stars collide
watching stars collide
If you leave,
When I go...
You'll find me,
in the shallows. When the time comes,
on the last day...
when they start to come down,
will you just,
will you run away?
will you run away?
Let it all rain down,
from the blood stained clouds.
Come out, come out, to the sea my love...
and just,
drown with me...
drown with me...
If you leave,
When I go...
You'll find me,
in the shallows. Lying on my back,
Lying on my back,
watching stars collide.
The song "The Fall" by The Honey Trees is a melancholic but beautiful song. The lyrics are rich in meaning and emotion, and the words depict a sense of longing and sadness. The song starts with an acknowledgment of the inevitable changes that life brings. The singer sings, "Let the water rise, let the ground crack. Let me fall inside, lying on my back." The line "lying on my back" signifies a passive surrender to the changes, and a desire to just lay back and let it all happen.
The chorus revolves around the idea of finding comfort in someone, but also the fear of losing that person. The singer asks, "If you leave, when I go, will you find me in the shallows?" This line speaks to the idea of seeking comfort in someone, and the uncertainty that comes with it.
The ending of the song seems to take on a more accepting tone. The lyrics, "Let it all rain down from the blood-stained clouds. Come out, come out, to the sea my love, and just drown with me," indicate a sense of surrender and acceptance of the uncertainties in life. The song ends on a somewhat peaceful note: "Lying on my back, watching stars collide."
