Can It Fall
deM atlaS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And if we lost it all
I cannot find my way
Can it be
That we're more than what we see?
I cannot stop this pain
I'm broken down so very low
And the winter time is all the time I got to grow
And I know it so miserable and cold
And I recognize the disappointment in myself
I pushed everyone away so I could be alone myself
It's a cold world, it's a new day
Don't know if it will get better evidently got no better and
I don't know what you could say
To make me wanna get up and start my days
Put everything I had into the wrong place
Gave it all away so I gotta walk away
I don't need you now but you should know
That I given everything that I own
I still wish you well
Everyone we love, becomes a part of us
And I wanna say
Can it fall
And if we lost it all
I cannot find my way
Can it be
That we're more than what see?
I cannot stop this pain
There's nothing left to run from
And there's no where left to hide
There is nobody left I can rely on
On my own
I ran for a long time
Trying to find my way home, ghost hollow in my scope
Leave me alone, I'm only human, flesh and blood
Gotta surrender but I keep on holding on to this grudge
Can it fall?
And if we lost it all
I cannot find my way
Can it be
That we're more than what see?
I cannot stop this pain

Line by Line Meaning
Can it fall?
Is it possible for everything to crumble and fall apart?
And if we lost it all
If everything we had disappears or is taken away
I cannot find my way
I am lost and directionless
Can it be
Is it possible that things are not just what we can see?
That we're more than what we see?
There might be more depth to us and our experiences than what is visible
I cannot stop this pain
I am unable to find relief from this emotional turmoil
I'm broken down so very low
I am at my lowest point and feel shattered
Ay-ay-ay-ay so am I-I-I
I resonate with this feeling too
And the winter time is all the time I got to grow
In times of darkness and difficulty, I have the opportunity to learn and improve
And I know it so miserable and cold
Despite the growth, it can be a very unpleasant and isolating experience
And I recognize the disappointment in myself
I am aware of my failures and shortcomings
I pushed everyone away so I could be alone myself
I purposely distanced myself from others to avoid vulnerability and pain
It's a cold world, it's a new day
Life can be harsh and unforgiving, and every day is a fresh start
Don't know if it will get better evidently got no better and
I'm not sure if my situation will improve, as things have not yet gotten better
I don't know what you could say
There are no words that could make me feel better in this moment
To make me wanna get up and start my days
I lack motivation to begin my day and face my challenges
Put everything I had into the wrong place
I misplaced my energy and resources
Gave it all away so I gotta walk away
I invested too much and now must distance myself from the situation
I don't need you now but you should know
Although I do not require your assistance, you should still be aware
That I given everything that I own
I have sacrificed all that I possess
I still wish you well
I bear no ill will towards you
Everyone we love, becomes a part of us
Those we care for leave an indelible mark on our lives
And I wanna say
I have something to express
There's nothing left to run from
I can no longer avoid my issues
And there's no where left to hide
There are no more places to seek refuge
There is nobody left I can rely on
I am alone and cannot depend on anyone
On my own
I must handle these difficulties without assistance
I ran for a long time
I tried to escape for an extensive period
Trying to find my way home, ghost hollow in my scope
I tried to return to a sense of comfort, but I feel disconnected and aimless
Leave me alone, I'm only human, flesh and blood
I am imperfect and vulnerable, please do not judge me harshly
Gotta surrender but I keep on holding on to this grudge
I must let go, but I am struggling to forgive and forget

Not only is he an amazingly deep and talented artist. He's a super humble dude! I met him once and he was beyond nice. This dude's the whole package.

@Fanteggowaffel that's exactly what happened to me. I actually enjoyed him the most and I totally got a terrible picture with him and have a notepad and pen on me always and neglected to get an autograph!
Fanteggowaffel
I saw him at 1st ave, I didn’t know who he was before he got on stage and preformed, I was blown away. After the show I didn’t expect this to happen but he walked by me, turned around, gave me like a bro hug thing (I failed at first but he let me try again XD) he said thank you for coming and I said “no problem! You did great!” Super great guy, wish I got a picture with him. He even talked with me and my dad till basically no one was in the building anymore.
Cassie Schmauss
I just saw him in Chico CA on my birthday and I have so much love for him now! The crowd did not do their part at all. He was so hyped the whole performance and he smelt so amazing! Thank you for all your inspiration! I can't wait to hear more!
Olivia Limon
He totally is. I saw him two days ago in Eugene, Oregon - after his set, he walked through the venue and gave everyone in his path a big hug :) also - he smells really good lol
chris henderson
He bummed a smoke off me in Halifax Canada! He was a great opener for Atmosphere.
