Falling
jon Lyrics

How long has it been
The singer is questioning the passage of time and how much it has affected their current situation

How'd we get so faded
The singer is questioning the gradual decline of something they once valued, possibly a relationship

Could we start again
The singer is asking if they have a chance to reset whatever is bothering them

Will we see some changing
The singer acknowledges that change might be necessary to fix the situation and is curious if it will occur

It's not easy when you're forced to hide
The singer is reflecting on how difficult it is to avoid certain situations you cannot control

Stuck in our homes to get lost in our minds
The singer is speaking about how confinement and isolation can lead to overthinking and depression

And could you make the sacrifice
The singer is inquiring whether making a sacrifice to help others is possible

Using up time save another ones life
The singer is proposing that spending your time and efforts to save another person's life can be rewarding

Now you take it slower
The singer is advising that the listener should slow down and take things easy

We all got something to say
The singer suggests that everyone has something of value to contribute to a conversation

Feel it taking over
The singer is referring to how intense emotions can become overwhelming

And you got nowhere to run away
The singer implies that the listener has no means of escape and must confront the situation

Don't you fade away my dear
The singer is pleading with someone who is drifting away from them to not disappear completely

We're gonna light our way
The singer is hopeful that they will be able to find their way back to each other

Don't you hide my love
The singer wants to bring to light any hidden feelings of love and confront them directly

I'll find the missing words to say
The singer is determined to put their feelings into words and share them with the other person

Stop falling away
The singer wants the other person to stop drifting away and come back to them

What we have to lose
The singer is questioning whether there is anything to lose in taking a risk

See it's all worth fighting
The singer believes that the cause they are fighting for is worth the effort

Tired of the news
The singer is exhausted by the endless stream of bad news in the media

All the tears and crying
The singer is acknowledging the emotional toll that current events have taken on people

And people march just to change the game
The singer recognizes the power of peaceful protest in bringing about change

Bleed us all dry and the colours the same
The singer is calling out systemic oppression that affects people from all backgrounds and reduces them to a single color

So tell me how we get so reckless
The singer is questioning how humanity has become so careless and indifferent to suffering

Eight minutes forty-six seconds of madness
The singer is referring to the death of George Floyd and the time it took for his life to be taken in police custody

And how we make it alright
The singer is searching for a way to rectify the unjust systems that lead to such tragedy

You still got something to prove
The singer believes in the potential of the listener and wants them to strive for greatness

And what we need to get through the night
The singer is identifying what it will take to overcome difficult situations

The only one I need is you
The singer is expressing their love and need for the listener to be by their side

Don't you waste away my dear
The singer doesn't want the other person to waste their life or potential

We got to keep the faith
The singer is urging the listener to remain hopeful, even in trying times

Don't you cry my love
The singer doesn't want the other person to suffer emotionally

Hold on to just another day
The singer is encouraging the listener to hold on, even if they think they can't handle anymore
