The fourth track on slippery slope is “the fall.” The song captures the mountain climber(s) falling to their death, however, they manage to survive.
It was released on February 25, 2022, as one of the last tracks to be released from the EP, along with “where we started.”
[Intro]
If I fell, how'd I deal with that?
The impact, how'd I heal that?
The rumble, how'd I hear that?
Oh, oh no, oh no, it's the fall
[Verse 1]
Wait, are we really, really falling?
I should've known that the slippery slope wasn't my calling
(Hey, look at my IQ right now, four, five, four, five, five!)
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh no, the fall, the fall, the fall! No!
[Chorus]
I'm falling, how do I deal with that?
The impact, how do I heal that?
The rumble, I hear that
I'm falling to my death, no time to chat, woah!
[Verse 2]
I wasted my life on this trickery, what have I done?
Life's so short, I'm super fuckin' young
So young, I have yet to even find the one
Life lesson, if you hear a rumble, run, run, run, bitch, run!
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh no, the fall, the fall, the fall! No!
[Chorus]
Still falling, how do I deal with that?
Still feel the impact, how do I heal that?
The rumble, I still hear that
Still falling to my death, no time to chat, woah!
[Bridge]
Wait, wait, wait, I'm not falling anymore
Is this the ground that I'm feeling?
I mean, sure, I feel pretty sore
This feels so much better than the ceiling
[Chorus]
No longer falling, how do I deal with this?
Sure do feel the impact, how do I heal this?
Can't forget the rumble, never want to hear that
Wasn't falling to my death, I've got some time to chat
[Outro]
But I probably shouldn't chat, 'cause I'm back where I started
Thought by the end of the day, I'd be dearly departed (Next!)
