Falling In Love
The Jazz Butcher Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every morning, I wake up
In a new hotel
Try to make it to breakfast
So far I'm doing quite well
But there are times when even the best laid plans go wrong
And I'll be standing on the corner
With another pair of sunglasses gone
What are we doing here?
With the clear blue sky above?
And this real bad case of too much falling in love
I've seen the ships sail off to Germany
I've seen that idiot train
When it has tried to run you over
It comes back and tries it again
You're by my side in one of a thousand pairs of Raybans
And I wish that I could understand
A quarter of the things you were saying
And I don't care too much for the way you kiss
But Lord above
There's this real bad case of too much falling in love
It's just a kind of dis-order
I know it's dreadful and bad
Well I sit in the back of the bus
And sometimes I feel so sad
And there are other times I can't believe the way things go
I start to jibber and to giggle and to yammer whoa-oh-oh-oh
But I'm not complaining
I'd never do that, Lord above
But there's a real bad case of too much falling in love
Oh it's like the bends for a diver
A back seat for the driver
There's a real bad case of too much falling in love
That's all it is
Just a real bad case of too much falling in love




You know it hurts to say that
There's a real bad case of too much falling in love

Overall Meaning

The Jazz Butcher Conspiracy's song "Falling In Love" tells the story of a man who falls in love too easily and constantly finds himself in new and unfamiliar situations. The first verse sets the scene of the singer waking up in a new hotel every morning and trying to make it to breakfast. However, even with the best-laid plans, things can go wrong, and the singer finds himself standing on the corner without sunglasses. The singer questions why they are here, under the clear blue sky, and plagued with a "real bad case of too much falling in love."


The second verse mentions the singer's travels to Germany and describes a partner who wears one of a thousand pairs of Raybans. The chorus reiterates the singer's struggle with falling in love and compares it to a disorder—crippling like the bends for a diver, preventing the driver from taking the front seat. The song ends with the singer acknowledging that falling in love hurts and is a "real bad case" but ultimately accepting that it is a part of who they are.


Overall, "Falling In Love" is a melancholic yet catchy tune that captures the bittersweet nature of falling in love too easily. It explores themes of uncertainty, heartbreak, and the difficulties of navigating new relationships.
