Unknown - Dont Fall (2008) [www.RnB4U.in] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why you lied to all your friends here
You fucked up so many lives
Because all you do is tell your lies
I cried so many tears
Living in the unknown fears
Thinking you were out to get me
Scared for my life but you'll pay the fee
Just cause your head was still spinning
I cried so many tears
Living in the unknown fears
Thinking you were out to get me
Scared for my life but you'll pay the fee
I cried so many tears
Living in the unknown fears
Thinking you were out to get me
Scared for my life but you'll pay the fee
The lyrics describe the moment when the singer becomes a father to a baby boy. He hears the news down the hallway and realizes the gravity of the situation. The second line indicates that the realization hits him that he is now responsible for another life, and he will be a father. The following line suggests that he is relieved that he no longer has to worry about the gender of the baby and he can now move forward. However, the last line of the chorus subtly hints that the singer is unaware of the problems and responsibilities that come with being a father, indicating a degree of naivete on his part.
The overall message of the song is one of growth, change, and realization of responsibilities. It highlights the struggles and challenges that come with being a new parent and emphasizes the importance of taking responsibility for one's actions, no matter the consequences.

LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
You know the distance never made a difference to me
I swam a lake of fire, I'd have walked across the floor of any sea
Ignored the vastness between all that can be seen
And all that we believe
So I thought you were like an angel to me
[Verse 2]
Funny how true colors shine in darkness and in secrecy
If there were scarlet flags, they washed out in the mind of mе
Where a blindin' light shone on you еvery night
And either side of my sleep
Where you were held frozen like an angel to me
[Chorus]
It ain't the being alone (Sha-la-la)
It ain't the empty home, baby (Sha-la-la)
You know I'm good on my own (Sha-la-la)
Sha-la-la, baby, you know, it's more the being unknown
So much of the livin', love, is the being unknown
[Verse 3]
You called me angel for the first time, my heart leapt from me
You smile now, I can see its pieces still stuck in your teeth
And what's left of it, I listen to it tick
Every tedious beat
Going unknown as any angel to me
[Bridge]
Do you know I could break beneath the weight?
Of the goodness, love, I still carry for you
That I'd walk so far just to take
The injury of finally knowin' you
[Chorus]
It ain't the being alone (Sha-la-la)
It ain't the empty home, baby (Sha-la-la)
You know I'm good on my own (Sha-la-la)
Sha-la-la, baby, you know, it's more the being unknown
And there are some people, love, who are better unknown

Other artists say "I ignored the red flags"; Hozier says "if there were scarlet flags, they washed out in the mind of me"
