Falling Apart
Wakey!Wakey! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My lover, said I swear, you're a lunatic.
It's not enough til you think it's too much.
You know it's no good when you hesitate...
Cause Lately we've been falling apart...
Lately we're crumbling.
Lately we've been sayin a lot.
Understood, yes you should feel understood.
And I should feel a bit less featherweight.
Maybe be good, just this once, just be good...
And I will be a bit less delicate...
Cause Lately we've been falling apart...
Lately we're crumbling.
Lately we've been sayin a lot.
But we're just not doing it...
It's not love through the site of a gun(3x)
It's not love, but it reaks of it...
Yeah, you should, I really think that you should,
And we will be sad, but we will not regret it...
You know why you feel so misunderstood?
It's all the things that you haven't said...
Cause Lately we've been falling apart...
Lately we're crumbling.
Lately we've been sayin a lot.
But we're just not doing it...
The lyrics of Wakey!Wakey!’s song “Falling Apart” tackles the breakdown of a relationship due to miscommunication and misunderstandings. The first verse talks about the misconception of what love is, and how it can be mistaken for other things like blood, and how it's not enough when it's too much. The chorus repeats the phrase “lately we've been falling apart,” which shows the eroding state of the relationship the singer is going through. They've been talking, but not acting on their words, hence why they're falling apart.
In the second verse, the song shifts to highlighting the importance of feeling understood and being less delicate. The singer wishes to be heard and seen properly in the relationship. The bridge is a moment of introspection, where the singer reflects on how the things they haven't expressed yet could lead to misunderstandings in the relationship. The song ends with the chorus repeating the same line, emphasizing the struggle the singer is facing with the state of their relationship.
Overall, this song is a reflection of the importance of proper communication in a relationship and not just saying things but following through with them.
