13th Floor Elevators - Don't Fall Down
========================================
Don′t fall down,
If you see herDon't fall down,
If you're by her side
Don′t fall down
When you′re near her
Don't fall down
If your voice is tied
Don′t fall down
Don't decieve her
Don′t fall down
Tell her what you feel
Don't fall down
She′ll precieve you
Don't fall down
If your voice is real
Everytime you need her, she is there
To ease the pain that fogs you
And when you don't need her, from her stare:
She says she′s needing you
Don′t fall down
As you love her
Don't fall down
She loves only you
Don′t fall down
As you lift her
Don't fall down
She believes in youDon′t fall down
From beside her
Don't fall down
Keep behind her eyes
Don′t fall down
They're behind you
Don't fall down
As the thought applies
If you want to rise,
You must place someone where you are standing
Everything she learns is on her face
Your strength is all she′s demanding
Do you feel it, feel it, feel it?
(Don′t fall down)
Do you feel it, feel it, feel it?
(Don't fall down)
Do you feel it, feel it, feel it?
(Don′t fall down)
Do you feel it, feel it, feel it?
(Don't fall down)
Do you feel it, feel it, feel it? If you need her
(Don′t fall down) Keep your promises
Do you feel it, feel it, feel it? If you see her
(Don't fall down) Give her all your kisses
Do you feel it, feel it, feel it? As you warm her
(Don′t fall down) Never disapoint her
Do you feel it, feel it, feel it? As you hold her
(Don't fall down) Do all that you told her
Do you feel it, feel it, feel it?
Everytime you need her, she is there
To ease the pain that fogs you
And when you don't need her, from her stare:
She says she′s needing you.
The lyrics to "Don't Fall Down" by the 13th Floor Elevators encapsulate a deeply reflective meditation on the complexities of love and connection. They create a vivid portrayal of the delicate balance each individual faces when navigating their emotional landscape in relationships. The repeated exhortation to "don't fall down" serves as a metaphor for maintaining integrity and composure under pressure, particularly when interacting with a loved one. This refrain suggests that vulnerability and transparency are essential to genuine communication, urging the listener to express true feelings rather than succumbing to insecurity or deceit. The repetition of actions such as "tell her what you feel" reinforces the urgency of honesty, framing it as a critical component of intimacy, reinforcing the idea that falling away from this honesty can lead to emotional distress or failure in the relationship.
Throughout the song, there is a dual focus on emotional reciprocity. The lines highlight the mutual reliance and emotional support characterizing a healthy relationship. For instance, "Every time you need her, she is there / To ease the pain that fogs you" mirrors the idea of unconditional support where one partner is consistently present, alluding to a sense of security that one person offers to another. There is an implication of balance in what each partner gives and receives; when one is guided by genuine care, both parties can feel safe in expressing their vulnerabilities. Conversely, the notion that "when you don't need her, from her stare: / She says she's needing you" suggests a subtle awareness of how emotional needs can shift. It emphasizes the importance of being attentive not only to one's needs but also to those of the partner; mutual attentiveness enriches the bond they share.
Moreover, the lyrics delve into the concept of identity and self within a relationship. There's a call for introspection, particularly in lines like "If you want to rise, you must place someone where you are standing." This challenges the listener to consider how love affects their individual growth and self-perception. The concept of lifting someone while also maintaining support suggests a dynamic where both partners are responsible for each other's emotional upliftment. This duality hints at the significant impact that love can have on personal development and suggests that rather than losing oneself in partnership, the connection should foster mutual elevation—encouraging both parties to strive for their highest selves together.
Finally, the richness of the lyrics speaks to the depth of emotional engagement required in relationships to avoid disappointment and to cultivate a resilient connection. By urging the listener to keep promises and give affection, the song highlights the significance of actions in love; it asserts that love is not only a feeling but also a practice. The insistence on not "disappointing" or "deceiving" reflects a broader commentary on commitment in relationships, suggesting that while love may be passionate, it also demands effort and accountability. It encapsulates the idea that love flourishes not just in devotion but through genuine commitment to the other's needs and emotions, thereby reinforcing the central theme of interconnectedness that runs throughout the lyrical narrative.
