This song is about loneliness. Maybe the narrator has been dumped by someone he loves dearly, and now he can’t find her. He is stuck on his mental island, and to finally get off of it, he needs his love to save him. But as realization hits him in the face, he knows no one can save him and help him....
[Verse 1]
Tonight I'm so alone
This sorrow takes ahold
Don't leave me here so cold
(Never wanna be so cold)
Your touch used to be so kind
Your touch used to give me life
I've waited all this time
I've wasted so much time
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't leave me alone
Cause I barely see at all
Don't leave me alone, I'm
[Chorus]
Falling in the black
Slipping through the cracks
Falling to the depths, can I ever go back?
Dreaming of the way it used to be
(Can you hear me?)
Falling in the black
Slipping through the cracks
Falling to the depths, can I ever go back?
Falling inside the black
Falling inside, falling inside the black
[Verse 2]
You were my source of strength
I've traded everything that I love for this one thing
(Stranded in the offering)
Don't leave me here like this
Can't hear me scream from the abyss
And now I wish for you my desire
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't leave me alone
Cause I barely see at all
Don't leave me alone, I'm
[Chorus]
Falling in the black
Slipping through the cracks
Falling to the depths, can I ever go back?
Dreaming of the way it used to be
(Can you hear me?)
Falling in the black
Slipping through the cracks
Falling to the depths, can I ever go back?
Falling inside the black
Falling inside, falling inside, the black
Black, black, black
[Chorus]
Falling in the black
Slipping through the cracks
F-f-falling in the black
Slipping through the cracks
Falling through the depths, can I never go back
Dreaming of the way it used to be
(Can you hear me?)
Slipping through the cracks
Falling through the depths, can I never go back
Falling inside the black
(Can you hear me?)
Falling inside the black
(Can you hear me?)
Falling inside the black
(Can you hear me?)
Falling inside, falling inside, falling inside the black
