Watch Me Fall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And bitter are these tears in my eyes
They're slowly flowing down my cheek like glowing pearls
But those pearls are for the swine
The mind behind this weak body tries to isolate
Not willing to crystallize the reasons for my grief
I try to figure out how I came to this state
Time flows on like a stream and passes the dead of the night
But it just pushes me further from delight
I feel my life sinking far too deep
When this self-deception won't let me fall asleep
The sky breathes black but still it shines
Like a halo upon my mental darkness
I'm bleak, cold and blond as the lack of will makes the waves roll in...
Here I ride again on these waves of misery
I'm all but sane as I close my eyes
And try to see the stars which shine no light
The lyrics in "Waves" by Watch Me Fall explore the mental turmoil of the singer, who is lying on the ground while the sun sets. The singer's tears are described as bitter and flowing down their cheek like glowing pearls, indicating that they might be experiencing heartbreak or some other form of heavy emotion. However, the singer feels as though their grief is pointless and that it is not worth shedding tears over.
As the night goes on, the singer tries to isolate themselves from others and figure out how they came to be in such a state. They feel lost and unable to find their way out of their current situation, feeling as though all the paths they take lead them further away from the light. The singer feels as though they are sinking deeper and deeper into misery, and their mind won't let them fall asleep despite their exhaustion.
In the end, the singer is alone, staring up at the black sky while the waves roll in. They feel as though they are riding the waves of misery, once again consumed by their thoughts and emotions. Despite their efforts to see the stars, they cannot find any light, suggesting that the singer is stuck in the darkness of their own mind.

The soil I'm lying on is cooling down with the vanishing daylight
The ground beneath me is getting colder as the sun sets
And bitter are these tears in my eyes
My tears taste bitter, reflecting my sadness
They're slowly flowing down my cheek like glowing pearls
My tears look shiny and precious, but they are wasted on my sorrow
But those pearls are for the swine
My sadness is meaningless, as no one will appreciate it
The mind behind this weak body tries to isolate
My mind is trying to disconnect from my physical pain
Not willing to crystallize the reasons for my grief
I can't understand why I feel so sad, and I don't want to face it
I try to figure out how I came to this state
I'm trying to understand how I ended up feeling like this
Where all the paths lead me just further from the light
Regardless of what I do, I can't find happiness or hope
Time flows on like a stream and passes the dead of the night
Time passes by quickly, even during the darkest moments
But it just pushes me further from delight
Despite time passing, my sorrow continues and doesn't fade away
I feel my life sinking far too deep
I feel like I'm losing control, and I can't save myself
When this self-deception won't let me fall asleep
I can't stop lying to myself, and it's keeping me awake at night
The sky breathes black but still it shines
Even though it's dark outside, there's still some beauty in the world
Like a halo upon my mental darkness
This beauty reminds me that there's still hope, even in my despair
I'm bleak, cold and blond as the lack of will makes the waves roll in...
My emotions are stagnant, and I feel powerless to change them
Here I ride again on these waves of misery
I'm stuck in a cycle of sadness and can't break free
I'm all but sane as I close my eyes
My mental state is fragile, and I'm struggling to keep control
And try to see the stars which shine no light
I'm trying to find hope and inspiration, but it's hard to find
