I Fall In Love Too Easily
Till Brönner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I fall in love too terribly hard, for love to ever last
My heart should be well schooled, 'cause I've been fooled in the past
And still I fall in love too easily, I fall in love too fast
I fall in love too easily, I fall in love too fast
I fall in love too terribly hard, for love to ever last
My heart should be well schooled, 'cause I've been fooled in the past
Till Brönner's "I Fall in Love Too Easily" is a melancholic love song that narrates the singer's inevitable tendency to fall in love too easily and too fast, without adequately safeguarding his heart against potential heartbreak. The repetition of the opening line emphasizes the singer's profound sense of vulnerability and inability to control his emotions. He is so consumed by his desires and affection that he falls too hard, too fast, and too terribly to make his love last.
Throughout the song, the singer acknowledges his past disappointments and acknowledges that his heart should have learned some valuable lessons. Still, it seems that he cannot help but fall in love again and again. The repetition of the chorus serves to highlight his self-recognition and self-awareness, but also his sense of resignation that this is just who he is.
The song's emotional depth is also conveyed through the use of Till Brönner's soft and soothing jazz instrumentals, providing an ideal backdrop for the vocals, which are delivered with a sense of somberness, capturing the song's melancholic essence. Overall, this song provides an honest and relatable portrayal of how we, as humans, can let our passions get the best of us when love is involved, leaving us vulnerable to heartbreak.
