The Fall
Weeknd (The) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You been picking my voice to dance to
You say my money no good in here
Even though I didn't ask you
And it's the most you've worked
Even though I probably don't deserve this girl
But you been dreaming for this moment so you have to
Baby, it's OK
I got show money baby
I wanna show you how I blow money baby
I wanna show you how I throw money baby
I'm a kid, so it's hard for me to hold money, baby
'Cause I'm a star, don't get it twisted
Got some trappers in my car
What kind of caps I got the brownest of them all
Somebody pop 'em before we pop 'em all, before we pop 'em all

Saying this ain't nothing, but it's all I need
And the peak ain't reached but the peak is all I feel
And it feels so good
It feels so good
It feels so good
It feels so good

I ain't scared of the fall
I ain't scared of the fall
I ain't scared of the fall
I ain't scared of the fall
I've felt the ground before
I've felt the ground before
I've felt the ground before
I've felt the ground before
'Cause I ain't scared of the fall

I understand why you're mad
And it hurts to accept what I am
And how I live and what I do
But I've been good since Thursday
Yes I've been good since Thursday

So you can watch my love vanish
In a girl with no talent
'Bout to make mula vanish
Call her friend for my friend
And friend's name's Lexus
I let my niggass test it
Her morals worth a cent
And best believe I already spent it
My blunt full of B-C
My cup full of Texas
Flown on that O-V-O jet, yeah I said it
I was born to be reckless
Was forced to make records
So you don't gotta ask who's next, who's next

Saying this ain't nothing, but it's all I need
And the peak ain't reached but the peek is all I feel
And it feels so good
It feels so good
It feels so good
It feels so good

I ain't scared of the fall
I ain't scared of the fall
I ain't scared of the fall
I've felt the ground before
I've felt the ground before
I've felt the ground before

And I ain't scared of the fall

Overall Meaning

In The Fall, The Weeknd reflects on his success and fame as he navigates the luxury and excess that come with it. He acknowledges that his money is no good to some people, referring to the moment when someone tells him he doesn't need to pay. He sings about the thrill of throwing money and living recklessly, noting that he's still young and struggles to hold onto his wealth. Despite this, he assures listeners that he's not afraid to fall from grace and lose it all, as he's experienced setbacks before.


The Weeknd also addresses the criticisms he faces for his lifestyle and choices, admitting that he understands why people are mad, but emphasizing that he's been "good since Thursday." He portrays himself as an unapologetic figure who doesn't care about public opinion or what anyone thinks of him. He describes a girl he's involved with as having no talent, likely referring to a gold digger or someone who's only interested in him for his fame and fortune. Even with her questionable morals, he's willing to spend money on her to keep her around.


Overall, The Fall is a commentary on the hedonistic lifestyle and pressures that accompany mega-stardom. The Weeknd acknowledges the excess and indulgence that come with success but also recognizes the fleeting nature of fame and the possibility of losing it all.

@briannagarcia9557

Tbh i kinda like feeling like abel
I liked being a "fuck-up"
I like being different
I like using guys for my needs
I think its better to be different,a fuck up than to be normal
I like the way people look at me different since I'm the fuck up
Its funny, yet I feel wickedly awesome
I like the fact that i can actually relate to someone like abel
I like being faded
The fact that being faded is fun
Life really isnt hard
Well for me but idk im just a fuck up
I like being the outcast, the fuck up
Idk i just love being like him
I love the fact that i dont have to try to have the same problems as him



My opinion thoe*no judgement of me please*



@pro_nube5860

Mama, I understand why you're mad
And it hurts to accept what I am
And how I live
And what I do
But I've been good since Thursday
Yes I've been good since Thursday

So you can watch my love vanish
In a girl with no talent- -
