Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Down, down, down,
Pick me up I'm falling

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to blink-182's The Fallen Interludes may seem repetitive at first, but their simplicity and earnestness convey a sense of vulnerability and desperation. It's as though the singer is pleading to be rescued from a downward spiral that they can't control. The repetition of "down, down, down" emphasizes the feeling of sinking deeper and deeper into despair. And the repetition of "pick me up I'm falling" is both a cry for help and an acknowledgement of their own inability to save themselves.


The song's title, The Fallen Interludes, suggests that it's a kind of intermission between other, more fleshed-out songs on the album. But in its brevity and simplicity, it packs an emotional punch that resonates long after it's over. Sometimes the shortest and simplest expressions can be the most powerful.

Deep, deep, deep, sinking further into a hopeless state

Save me, rescue me from my struggles and hardships


Down, down, down,
Continuing to spiral downwards, with no apparent end or solution in sight


Pick me up I'm falling
Desperately pleading for someone to bring me back up and help me stand on my own two feet again

Overwhelmed by negative thoughts and feelings, feeling lost and alone


Pick me up I'm falling
Asking for assistance and guidance to overcome my struggles and rise above my challenges
