about
"Way I Fall" is about changing direction. About casting off old ideas of what you're seeking and looking for something deeper. In this case, the character decides that dreams of wealth and popularity hold just as big of shackles as obscurity and austerity, it's self-reliance that's important. The ability to determine your own path is what counts, even if it leads to a fall.
lyrics
Overdone and overhyped,
I’m disappointed all the time,
These buildups always end up,
Letting me down.
I wanted the Himalayas,
I wanted to be part of the tribe,
I wanted an entourage,
And an overwrought sense of pride.
When I stop looking for,
What I thought was my dream.
When I want for something more,
The less it glitters the more it gleams.
Held up to a different light,
Altered and anesthetized,
Holed up and fenced away,
Unseen by prying eyes.
Like Scientology,
An exercise in idolatry,
Flash bulbs and rolling tapes,
Make me better than all the other apes.
When I stop looking for,
What I thought was my dream.
When I want for something more,
The less it glitters the more it gleams.
If I could save the world,
it wouldn't matter at all.
I only want to choose the way I fall.
Karma smacked my across the face,
Free will led us to this place.
When I stop looking for,
Than I thought was my dream.
When I want for something more,
The less it glitters the more it gleams.
If I could save the world,
it wouldn't matter at all.
I only want to choose the way I fall.
