Bonus Track
Thomas/БȘ-2/Сплин Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well there's a woman sitting on the floor
She wonders what she's here for
There's a needle sitting by the door

There's a woman with a hand to god
She's praying for redemption
Her baby's crying, she says
How you gonna be somebody

She used to be with another man
A broken man with a broken promise
And now she wonders what she's for
And she may never know for sure
Yeah, she may never know for sure

bah-bah-bah

[Chorus]
Fallen, fallen
Heaven help us
Fallen, fallen
Heaven help us

A little girl living on the street
A baby living by the devil's heartbeat
She started selling them when she was just a teen
Now she's got babies of her own

Another mouth that she can't feed
Another life is a pressure that she don't need
And it's been years since she was clean
And this ain't how she used to be
Right now she's only seventeen

[Chorus]

Bah-bah-bah

Fallen, oh, fallen, oh
Heaven, oh, help us, oh
Fallen, oh, fallen, oh
Heaven, oh, help us

Bah-bah-bah

Fallen
oh yeah
Fallen
we're falling down
Heaven
oh, heaven help
Help us
heaven help us now
Fallen
oh oh yeah
Fallen
I'm gonna sing it now, now now now
Heaven help us
fallen, oh now now down
Fallen now now now
Fallen
oh yeah
Heaven
oh yeah
Help us

We're fallen down down down down down down down
Yeah, well we're fallen down




Yeah, just fallen
Just fallen down

Overall Meaning

The song Bonus Track by Thomas/Би-2/Сплин portrays the struggles of two different women, both fallen and in need of help from heaven. The first woman wonders what her purpose in life is and is troubled by the presence of a needle near her. She prays for redemption, feeling the weight of the responsibility of raising her crying baby. She used to be with a broken man who made a broken promise leaving her to question her own worth. The chorus repeats 'fallen' twice, portraying the helpless feeling of being at rock bottom and in dire need of help.


The second woman's story is equally disheartening. She became a teen mother when she started selling herself on the streets. Now, she's a mother of more than one child and she can't provide for them. She hasn't been clean in years, and her life is a far cry from how it used to be. The chorus repeats itself, further emphasizing the helplessness of the situation. The song ends in a repetition of 'fallen' and 'heaven help us' as a cry for help.
