Fall From A Height
The Honeydrips Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I always thought I could fall from a height and land on my head
Now I'm considering throwing in the towel and hiding in bed
I always though I could fall from a height and land on my face
Now I'm considering throwing in the towel, can't keep up with the pace

And now I'm watching the trains rolling in and out of the station
And now the clouds rearrange
And now I'm watching the moon, I'm watching autumn electric lights




I think I'm falling for you

Overall Meaning

These lyrics from The Honeydrips's song Fall From A Height seem to express a sense of disillusionment and defeat. The opening lines suggest a belief in one's ability to withstand challenges and overcome them, even if it means taking a fall. However, this confidence has been shaken and the singer is now feeling defeated and overwhelmed, considering giving up altogether. The imagery of hiding in bed conveys a sense of isolation and retreat from the world, while the reference to "throwing in the towel" suggests a resignation to defeat.


As the verse continues, the imagery shifts to a more observant and introspective tone. The singer is no longer focused solely on their own struggles, but becomes aware of the ebb and flow of life around them. The trains in and out of the station, the shifting clouds and the moon become symbols of the passage of time, and perhaps the fleeting nature of human experience. The mention of "autumn electric lights" evokes a sense of a colorful and vibrant world, even as the singer is struggling to keep up. The final line suggests a glimmer of hope or promise, as the singer may be falling for someone, perhaps finding a source of comfort and support in their life.


Overall, these lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and fragility, as well as the ways in which the individual experience is both challenging and interconnected with the wider world.
