Lyrics for Breakerfall as interpreted by Trent

Breakerfall Lyrics
Ah.

There's a girl on a ledge who's got nowhere to turn.
Cause all the love that she had was just wood that she burned.
Now her life is on fire it's no ones concern.
She can blame the world or prey till dawn.
But only love can break her fall.

Break her fall. Yeah, only love can break her fall. Fall.

It's like she lost her invitation to the party on earth and she's standing outside hating everyone here.
Yeah, she's her own disease, crying to her doll.
But only love can break her fall.

Break her fall. Only love can break her fall. Yeah.

Yeah fall. Blame the world. Break her fall. Break her fall.
Love, love, love can break her fall. Who?
Now only love can break her fall.
Love, love can break her fall. Fall.
Love, love can break her fall.
Only love can break her.

A great song that isn't recognised much. Pity it could have been really popular.

this is one of my fav. songs....its something i can really relate to right now...it means that theres a girl who's had her heart broken too many times and its no fault but her own and shes about to give up...but the only thing that can save her is being in love..PJ is the best

it's been said that this song was written about courtney love.

i don't know if that's true.

but it's an interesting thought, i think.

cool song, anyway.

Popularity is not a prerequisite for greatness. As is the story of Pearl Jam.

She is bitter and everything once beautiful and everything she once cared about now just makes her angry.

She was scorned in love and only a new and persistant deep love can "Break her fall"

I love PJ because of how well they can friggin describe other peoples' dillemas... they have damn good empathy... That was COMPLETELY me at one time, but I'm lucky now because love really did break my fall. Thank you Matt, because of you I learned there is more to love than just a fluttery heartbeat.... the truest love is built off of a great friendship. ^^

this song is about a girl who is on ... the end of the line, inches from the edge of some precipice (in life, not real). and the only possible way she can be bailed out of this precarious situation is is someone welcomes her into his life with genuine love for her.

"its like she's lost her nvitation to the party on earth.." just sums her situation up... she is now a "nobody's child" with only her doll to cry to, no human shoulder.

voted the best pearl jam punk rock song in an opinion poll by Vault, the official Ten fanclub.

It's pity that I didn't hear this song when I was in my deepest depression. I still fell like this though, and wait to find love that I need.
Someday it will surely happen, never lose hope.

I don't know much about the meaning, just that I like the lyrics

but does anyone else think that"Yeah, only love can break her fall" is refering to or something (can't think of the english word) to "only love can break your heart" by Neil Young?
