Fall off the Moon
The Technicolors Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Keep me alone
Keep my thoughts to the flame
Lit by the afternoon
Wrap my attention in your dress
What a shame, doll
I was afraid so afraid just to let go
I was afraid so afraid to fall off the moon
To fall off the moon
With you
Gravity left my mind full of sound
I need permission to keep my head to the cloud
With nothing to lose I'm just here for the show
Cause I was afraid, so afraid just to let go
I was afraid, so afraid to fall off the moon
To fall off the moon…
With you
Is it so wrong…
I'm barely hanging on?
Am I the only one who's barely hanging on?
Your lips are a fool to the eyes of a liar
You're dressed to depress
I know you know my desire
Yeah I just want to see you tonight in all that you know
That I was afraid, so afraid just to let go
I was afraid, so afraid just to let go
I was afraid, so afraid just to let go
I was afraid, so afraid to fall off the moon
To fall off the moon
To fall off the moon




To fall off the moon
To fall off the moon

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Technicolors's song Fall off the Moon portray the singer's fear of letting go of a relationship. He pleads to his partner to keep him alone and his thoughts to the flame, as he is afraid to fall off the moon. The moon alludes to his sense of security in the relationship, and falling off it would mean losing that security. He goes on to say that being with his partner takes away the gravity from his mind and allows him to keep his head in the clouds. He questions if it is wrong for him to be barely hanging on as he still wants to see his partner, even though their relationship may not be healthy. He acknowledges that his partner is dressed to depress, and he is aware of his own desire for her. The lyrics ultimately convey the struggle of letting go of a relationship, even if it may not be good for one's well-being.


Line by Line Meaning

Keep me alone
I want to be left by myself


Keep my thoughts to the flame
I want to keep my thoughts secret and protected


Lit by the afternoon
I want to keep my thoughts alive and burning


Wrap my attention in your dress
I want to be captivated by you


What a shame, doll
It's a pity, my dear


I was afraid so afraid just to let go
I was afraid to move on and let things go


I was afraid so afraid to fall off the moon
I was afraid of losing something I treasured dearly


With you
In your company


Gravity left my mind full of sound
I am free from the weight and burden of my thoughts


I need permission to keep my head to the cloud
I need validation to keep dreaming and hoping


With nothing to lose I'm just here for the show
I have nothing at stake, I am just observing


Cause I was afraid, so afraid just to let go
I didn't have the courage to move on


Is it so wrong…
Is it bad or immoral…


I'm barely hanging on?
I am barely able to cope and stay alive


Am I the only one who's barely hanging on?
Is there anyone else who feels the same?


Your lips are a fool to the eyes of a liar
Your words are empty and meaningless to a deceiver


You're dressed to depress
Your attire gives off a sad and gloomy vibe


I know you know my desire
I know you are aware of what I want


Yeah I just want to see you tonight in all that you know
I want to see you now, as you truly are


I was afraid, so afraid just to let go
I was too scared to move on


I was afraid, so afraid to fall off the moon
I was scared of losing something special


To fall off the moon…
To lose something valuable


With you
In your company


To fall off the moon
To lose something special


To fall off the moon
To lose something valuable


To fall off the moon
To lose something dear


To fall off the moon
To lose something precious

To fall off the moon
With you

Gravity left my mind full of sound
I need permission to keep my head to the cloud
With nothing to lose I'm just here for the show

To fall off the moon…
With you
