Freefalling
Young Fathers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stay a little longer
We can't deny ourselves
Search a little harder
Deeper inside the well
Search is getting strong
Reeks of the Witch's Brew
Pushing you, stop resisting
Pushing you, where I can't follow

I see you now
Freefalling, freefalling
I see you now
Befallen, befallen
I see you now
Freefalling, freefalling
I see you now
Befallen, befallen

Stay a little longer
We can't deny ourselves
Search a little harder
Deeper inside the well
Search is getting strong
Reeks of the Witch's Brew




Pushing you, stop resisting
Pushing you, where I can't follow

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Young Fathers's song "Freefalling" seem to touch upon themes such as temptation, struggle, and the fear of losing control. The opening lines "Stay a little longer, we can't deny ourselves" could be interpreted as a call to indulge in something that might not be good for us, but that we can't resist. It's almost like the singer is encouraging the listener to give in to their desires, to "search a little harder, deeper inside the well". However, this search is not easy, as evidenced by the line "search is getting strong, reeks of the Witch's Brew". This could be seen as a reference to the temptation being a sort of potion or magic that is difficult to resist.


The chorus of the song then shifts to a more eerie tone as the words "I see you now, freefalling, befallen" are repeated. This could suggest that the listener has indeed given into their desires and is now falling prey to them or being taken over by them. The repetition of these lines throughout the track give an almost hypnotic quality to the song, as if the temptation the singer is describing is all-consuming and inescapable.


Overall, "Freefalling" is a thought-provoking tune that delves into the darker aspects of desire and the human psyche. The lyrics can be interpreted in a number of ways, but there is a definite sense of tension and struggle throughout the song that makes it captivating to listen to.
