Skillet – Falling Inside the Black

• 0
  Song Meaning:Falling Inside the Black is about crying out in a desperate fall of loneliness or depression. John Cooper stated that it was a song for everyone who felt they were 'falling inside the black' pit of loneliness or depression, and for everyone who was crying out for someone to help them through a tough time.

  General Comment:ok so i am christian but the truth is i dont like many others. Most Christians are rude and arrogant. the number one reason for athiesm is christianity. most of use are to busy pretending were some great Person and only hanging out with other christians and refuse to talk to other people they consder bellow them. When jesus came he hung out with the prostites the taxers debtors and other people not considered chritian like and Jesus didnt hang out with to many rish people who claimed to be christian. our job as chrstian is to show the good things about being chritian how are we going to do that if we dont talk to other non christian and we only bash them. we are supposed to spred the word not ingnore anyone else who hasnt experinced it. this comment is about the comments on here saying we need to force christianity on other. So Christions need to shape up and stop living in there own world.

  General Comment:I know they're a christan band, and I'm a christan
  but I never realated some of their lyrics with anything Spirtual, Like this song
  I thought it meant, that some one the singer loved was leaving him, be it death, or just a break up
  partly because God never leaves you, so why would you have to ask him not to? and I felt like this when I lost one of my best friends..so yeah :/

  General Comment:I think this is about someone's love leaving him/her ("don't leave me alone") and he falls into a deep and dark depression, and he wants that love to come back and have a fresh start

  My Interpretation:Lol, sad, double meanings. To non-christians, this can still have meaning.
  
  It reminds me alot of my first and I.
  
  I believe it means that he feel's so lonely. He feel's so sad cause he feel's nothing but cold, emptiness. His last ex used to be so kind and nice to him, but something happened between them. He's wasted so much time planning on getting her back, that he hasn't made a move to get her back, now he's too late. He doesn't want her to leave, she's what helped him see the bright side, but he can't help it, she's leaving. He's falling into the darkness(confusion, hatred, sorrow), wondering if he can ever go back to the time when they were happy together. She used to be his reason to live, his reason to move on, he traded everything he had, just for her love, cause he found it to be equivalent in worth. He can't take it back, even after he offered to trade it, she wouldn't take his love, and now he can't take it back, he's weak, and can't help it. His heart's sceaming her name from the eternal abyss of confusion and sorrow. Now, he hasn't made it outside the abyss of darkness, and she's just gonna leave him there. There, he either fights off the darkness, fight's it off enough so that he survives, let's the darkness kill him. or let's the darkness cut him.

  General Comment:To me it sounds like it's about fighting a drug adiction, like at first the drugs use to be his source of strength and make him feel alive, and he gave up everything to have it, and now he's alone and feels like he's falling inside the black. thats my thoughts anyway O.o

  General Comment:To me, this song is about two lovers singing to each other. Throughout their childhood, nothing but bad things have happened to them. They are alone, sitting in the black, trying to find a way out. The first verse is the boy, while the second verse is the girl. They are saying the both need each other to get out of the darkness and find the light.

  Song Meaning:Well, I used to be a fairly devout Christian, but things aren't as they were, but that doesn't effect
  what I listen to, I agree with many of the posters, that it shouldn't matter whether the artists are
  christian or not, what matters is what it means to you. what's funny is that I started listening to this
  band after a friend showed me "The Last Night" and "Whispers In The Dark" I HAD to get the CDm and i
  listened through and when this song came on...I almost freaked, it perfectly described how I had felt
  when I had been having a suicidal or depressive episode, like i had fallen in a pit, i was all alone,
  and no one could hear me. I would ly in bed crying, wondering if anyone cared, I had even used a dark,
  angry pit to describe how i felt to some people. I had tried once to write about it (poem/song), but I
  couldn't quite get it, and then, bam, i heard this song and it fit perfectly.
  
  For me it didn't relate to realtionships or that, but just feeling alone, lost, forgotten. I love it for
  that, for finally finding the words I never could to describe what i held inside.
