This compelling piece from Dean Lewis delves deep into the complexities of self-doubt and the struggle for personal fulfillment. The lyrics illustrate a journey of introspection, where the artist grapples with feelings of inadequacy and loneliness despite outward success. He yearns for happiness but finds himself 'barely breathing', indicating emotional exhaustion and dissatisfaction. The metaphor of 'falling up' suggests an uphill battle against his inner demons, while also highlighting the paradoxical nature of his situation - feeling down yet striving to rise above. The song serves as a poignant reminder that external achievements do not necessarily equate to internal contentment, and emphasizes the importance of self-love and acceptance in the pursuit of genuine happiness.
Falling Up
Lyrics
Things were happening
I felt the weight of the expectation on my chest
My mind was traveling
But I swear that I don't remember where it went
They said things were growing
So why do I feel like nothing at all is left?
So I'll keep on moving
If I'm standing still then I'll feel the emptiness
'Cause I get so lonely and you get so low
And I look so stupid when I lose control
I'm alone in my bedroom and the walls are caving in
And I thought I'd be happy, but I'm barely breathing
Ooh, I'm barely breathing
'Cause I'm feeling down, but I'm falling up
And I'm breaking out, but not out of luck
As I breathe the air into my lungs
I wanted everything but nothing's ever good enough (ooh)
I gotta change me
And If I wake up now there's a chance to start again (mm)
But if I wait
Could I get back to the place where it all began before?
I got so lonely and you got so low
And I looked so stupid when you came to my show
I'm alone in the spotlight and the walls are caving in
And I thought I'd be happy but I'm barely breathing
Ooh, I'm barely breathing
'Cause I'm feeling down but I'm falling up
And I'm breaking out but not out of luck
As I breathe the air into my lungs
I wanted everything but nothing's ever good enough
And I hate the man that I've turned into
And I've come so far, what did I lose?
And I swear to God I'll make it through
I'll make it through
'Cause I get so lonely and you get so low
And I looked so stupid when you came to my show
I'm alone in the spotlight and the walls are caving in
And I thought I'd be happy but I'm barely breathing
Ooh, I'm barely breathing
'Cause I'm feeling down but I'm falling up
And I'm breaking out but not out of luck
As I breathe the air into my lungs
I wanted everything but nothing's ever good enough
