The Fall
The Native Sibling Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fever died, the winter grew
Buckle up my old sound
Left so fast we hung to the ground
When you fall, you fall, you fall, you fall, you fall
You fall, you fall, you fall, you fall, you fall
Hold your breathe, ground undress
Between dirt not found
So I'll deserve to taste that sound
When you fall, you fall, you fall, you fall, you fall
You fall, you fall, you fall, you fall, you fall
Straight and in the seams
Who you said you'd be
Dealing got your line unhinged aligned
Giving up not going
When you've done them wrong
Gaining pace from where your lines where made
When you fall, you fall, you fall, you fall, you fall
You fall, you fall, you fall, you fall, you fall
When you fall, you fall, you fall, you fall, you fall
You fall, you fall, you fall, you fall, you fal
The Native Sibling's song, "The Fall", is a reflective piece that takes the listener on a journey of loss and acceptance. The opening two lines are particularly poignant, with "I had hopes for you, fever died, the winter grew." These lines are open to interpretation but seem to suggest that the singer had high expectations for someone or something, but things didn't work out as planned, and they were left with the coldness of winter. The stanza that follows talks about preparing for a test and holding their breath, which could represent the singer's anticipation of facing a challenge or obstacle.
The chorus repeats the phrase "When you fall, you fall, you fall," which is a powerful repetition, evoking feelings of inevitability and hopelessness. The second stanza suggests that the singer has gone through an experience that has left them grounded and feeling as though they don't belong. However, they still seek to find a way to "taste that sound," suggesting that the struggle has helped them find a new path or identity. The final stanza seems to reflect on the idea of growing up and facing the consequences of our actions, with lines like "Dealing got your line unhinged aligned" and "Giving up not going when you've done them wrong." The song closes with the repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the idea that falling is a part of life, and we must learn to accept it and move on.

Fever died, the winter grew
My passion for you faded as time went by and things got colder
Buckle up my old sound
I'm getting ready to revisit and reclaim my old musical style
Left so fast we hung to the ground
You left abruptly and without warning, causing us to feel stuck and unable to move on
When you fall, you fall, you fall, you fall, you fall
Repeating that falling can happen repeatedly and unexpectedly
Study now to test
Take the time to learn and practice in order to be prepared for challenges
Hold your breathe, ground undress
Get ready to face difficult circumstances and stay grounded despite them
Between dirt not found
Feeling lost and stuck in a difficult situation
So I'll deserve to taste that sound
Going through tough times will make the eventual success and satisfaction taste even sweeter
Straight and in the seams
Going down the expected path and following the rules
Who you said you'd be
Living up to the image you created for yourself

Choosing to not give up even when it's tempting to do so

Moving forward and finding success despite the mistakes you've made in the past
