Lyrics for Falling Down as interpreted by dontwasteyoursong

Falling Down Lyrics
The summer sun, it blows my mind
Has falling down on all that I've ever known
Time will kiss the world goodbye
Falling down on all that I've ever known
Is all that I've ever known

A dying scream makes no sound
Calling out to all that I've ever known
Here am I, lost and found
Calling out to all

We live a dying dream
If you know what I mean
All that I've ever known
It's all that I've ever known

Catch the wheel that breaks the butterfly
I cried the rain that fills the ocean wide
I tried to talk with God to no avail
Calling him in and out of nowhere
Said if you won't save me
Please don't waste my time

All that I've ever known
It's all that I've ever known

Catch the wheel that breaks the butterfly
I cried the rain that fills the ocean wide
I tried to talk with God to no avail
Calling my name and out of nowhere
Said if you won't save me
Please don't waste my time

The summer sun, it blows my mind
It's falling down on all that I've ever known
Time will kiss the world goodbye
Falling down on all that I've ever known
Is all that I've ever known

This is a remix by the Chemical Brothers. Still, Noel's singing sounds as terrific as ever.

Um the song itself is amazing but the lyrics themselves? Fucking brilliant. This albums gonna sound like revolver did compared to the other beatles albums before it. They truly are the best band in the world today and only England knows it.

Correction - There is quite a lot more to this song than what is above..I've put down what I can hear, it may not be 100% so if anyone can help me out

A setting sun that blows my mind
Is falling down on all that I've ever known
Time to kiss the world goodbye
Falling down on all that I've ever known
Is all that I've ever known
Is all that I've ever known

A dying scream, it makes no sound
Calling out to all that I've ever known
Here am I, lost and found
Calling out to all

We live a dying dream
If you know what I mean
Is all that I've ever known
Is all that I've ever known

Catch the wheel that breaks the butterfly
I cry the name that fills the ocean wave

I try to talk the guard to no avail
Calling my name out of nowhere
If you wont save me please dont waste my time

Ooooh, is all that I've ever known
Is all that I've ever known

Catch the wheel that breaks the butterfly
I cry the name that fills the ocean wave
I try to talk the guard to no avail
Calling my name out of nowhere
If you wont save me please dont waste my time

A setting sun that blows my mind
Is falling down on all that I've ever known

Time to kiss the world goodbye
Falling down on all that I've ever known
Is all that I've ever known
Is all that I've ever known

i think he sings "i tried to talk with god to no avail"



it sounds like it makes more sense with the theme of the song.

Actual lyrics:

The summer sun - it blows my mind
It's falling down on all that I've ever known
Time will kiss the world goodbye
Falling down on all that I've ever known
Is all that I've ever known

A dying scream - makes no sound
Calling out to all that I've ever known
Here am I, lost and found
Calling out to all...

We live a dying dream
If you know what I mean
All that I've ever known
It's all that I've ever known

Catch the wheel that breaks the butterfly
I cried the rain that fills the ocean wide
I tried to talk with God to no avail
Calling my name and out of nowhere
Said if you won't save me
Please don't waste my time

All that I've ever known
It's all that I've ever known

Catch the wheel that breaks the butterfly
I cried the rain that fills the ocean wide
I tried to talk with God to no avail
Calling my name and out of nowhere
Said if you won't save me
Please don't waste my time

The summer sun - it blows my mind
It's falling down on all that I've ever known
Time will kiss the world goodbye
Falling down on all that I've ever known
Is all that I've ever known

This marks Noels brilliance as a songwriter and vocals. The song is amzing live! Have no clue what it means, probably something only he knows.

I don't know if this is 100% right, but I think it's about a suicide attempt, trying to prevent it, and maybe finally succeeding.

i cried the tears that filled the ocean wide. very sad song to god or to somebody who you thought you could trust and they let you down. obviously this isn't the first time this has happened, in fact 'falling down is all that i've ever known'

"Catch the wheel that breaks the butterfly" references the quotation: "Who breaks a butterfly upon a wheel?" from Alexander Pope's Epistle to Dr Arbuthnot.

Okay noone has the lyrics exactly right yet.

This is as appears in the CD booklet and to my hearing is correct (it also makes more sense than most I've read). The line "in time we'll kiss the world goodbye" is written like that, but the "in" seems to disappear on the record:

The summer sun that blows my mind
Is falling down on all that I've ever known
In time we'll kiss the world goodbye
Falling down on all that I've ever known
Is all that I've ever known

A dying scream makes no sound
Calling out to all that have ever known
Here am I, lost and found
Calling out to all

We live a dying dream
If you know what I mean
All that I've ever known
It's all that I've ever known

Catch the wheel that breaks the butterfly
I cried the rain that fills the ocean wide
I tried to talk with God to no avail
I called him up in and out of nowhere
Said if you won't save me, please don't waste my time

All that I've ever known
It's all that I've ever known

Catch the wheel that breaks the butterfly
I cried the rain that fills the ocean wide
I tried to talk with God to no avail
I called him up in and out of nowhere
Said if you won't save me, please don't waste my time

The summer sun that blows my mind
It's falling down on all that I've ever known
In time we'll kiss the world goodbye
Falling down on all that I've ever known
Is all that I've ever known

This is my favourite song so far this year, and has got me back into Oasis, who continue to go strong even now (except when someone other than Noel writes the music - see awful previous single 'I'm Outta Time').

It's about feeling distant from your surroundings (both "lost and found") when you realise that your life (simply a "dying dream") is fleeting and unimportant in the grand universe.

The line "if you won't save me, please don't waste my time" is especially poignant, because Gallagher has stated in the press that he is an athiest, indicating that talking with God can help stave off the feeling of one's life inevitably ending, but in the end this made-up person just wastes time on this earth.

Then again, this is Oasis so it probably means very little. Doesnt matter, it's amazing.

I think this song could be about an apocalyptic world. It refers to things 'Falling Down' (ending) and being 'Lost and found' 'Kissing the world goodbye' 'A dying scream' 'A dying dream' and finally 'talking to God but to no avail'......just my opinion.

Personally, I believe that this song is about someone coming off of a drug addiction.

Think it's about death and the search for God. "Time will kiss the world goodbye", "falling down on all that I've ever known... calling out to all that I've ever known", "a dying scream makes no sound"... sounds like the singer is trying to come to terms with the fact that death means saying goodbye to everything, and that life is like a dream that won't exist after the fact. "Tried to talk to God... calling him in and out of nowhere", sounds like the singer can't decide whether God exists, and hopes that he does and that there is life after death, but can't seem to find it. That hope is a source of pain. "If you won't save me, please don't waste my time."

I'm a little embarassed to like a song so emo, but it's Oasis, so it's all okay, right?
