Falling Away
glades Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Moonshine in the valley
Winding back to where we started
Freeze fire 'cause you know
I will make it home alive

I am never, never gonna wait
You say "follow the way we were"
And I'm caught in the middle of a heartache

Gonna run away
While I'm breathing
While I'm breathing
I'm falling away
I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling away

Fighting for ambition
Feels like every scar is open
Hit hard hear us break
This vow is now in fragments

I am never, never gonna wait
You say "follow the way we were"
And I'm caught in the middle of a heartache

Gonna run away
While I'm breathing
While I'm breathing
I'm falling away
I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling away

Now we're far away
Im never gonna stay
We've drowned this love which proved to be the hell we were breathing
With you I feel alone
Immersed in the Unknown




Keep me far away
Keep me, Keep me far away this time

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Glades' song "Falling Away" are about a relationship that has grown toxic and its effect on the individual involved. The first verse talks about being in a situation that is familiar but ultimately dangerous - "Moonshine in the valley, winding back to where we started." The singer knows the path but realizes that it's not going to lead them to a good place. They want to survive and get out, "Freeze fire 'cause you know I will make it home alive." However, the chorus of the song is more optimistic - "I'm falling away" can be interpreted not as falling apart but falling into a new place away from the pain.


The second verse is more emotional and has a sense of betrayal- "fighting for ambition feels like every scar is open." Despite the effort and the pain, the relationship is still broken, "This vow is now in fragments." The chorus reprises the idea of the singer running away to start anew while they still have control of their situation, "Gonna run away while I'm breathing." At the end of the song, it's clear that the singer has grown tired of the situation, "with you, I feel alone immersed in the unknown." The only solution left is to be kept away from the relationship, "Keep me far away this time."
