Fallen
Vib Gyor Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It always feels the same
Another day rolls into night
With an apathy that I can’t explain
It’s about time we woke up
We’re lost inside ourselves
It’s about time
We slowed down
And don’t put the blame on yourself

When your hope is gone
And you can’t find any way out
And you feel you’ve lost it all
You say you feel the same self doubt
I won’t fall this time
I’m not going anywhere
I’ll be right here by your side
Stop me if you really care

You always find a way
To put down what I’m trying to prove
But you can’t ever seem to explain
It’s about time we woke up
And don’t put the blame on yourself

When your hope is gone
And you can’t find any way out
And you feel you’ve lost it all
You say you feel the same self doubt
I won’t fall this time
I’m not going anywhere

I’ll be right here by your side
You’re acting like you just don’t care

Overall Meaning

The song "Fallen" by Vib Gyor is an introspective piece that delves into the human experience of apathy and the search for hope. The lyrics convey a sense of repetition and exhaustion, as if the singer is stuck in a cycle that they can't break out of. They express a desire to wake up and slow down, as if they are craving a change of pace. The line "It’s about time we woke up" is repeated twice in the song, emphasizing the need for change.

The second verse deals with the loss of hope and the feeling of being trapped. The lyrics suggest that the singer is not alone in this experience, as they empathize with someone else who feels the same sense of self-doubt. However, the chorus provides a glimmer of hope, as the singer declares that they won't fall this time and that they will be by the side of the person they are addressing, as long as that person cares.

Overall, the song seems to touch on the universal experience of feeling lost, stuck, and hopeless. However, it also suggests that hope is possible, and that we can find support and companionship along the way.

Line by Line Meaning

It always feels the same
Every day feels repetitive and mundane

Another day rolls into night
The passing of time is monotonous and uneventful

With an apathy that I can’t explain
There is a sense of disinterest and lack of enthusiasm that cannot be justified

It’s about time we woke up
We need to realize the situation and make a change

We’re lost inside ourselves
We are consumed by our own problems and emotions

It’s about time
The need for change is urgent

We slowed down
We need to take a step back and evaluate the situation

And don’t put the blame on yourself
Stop blaming yourself for the current situation

When your hope is gone
During moments of despair

And you can’t find any way out
When you feel trapped or helpless

And you feel you’ve lost it all
When you believe that everything is lost
