about
With poetic lyrics and soaring vocals, "Crashing Down" moves from the melodic dreamscape captured in the verses to the crunching guitars that characterize the dark and explosive chorus. This juxtaposition highlights the inevitability of life's ups and downs, the primary theme of the song.
lyrics
WE ALL ARE DOING FINE
TIME, LEAVE IT BEHIND
WE ALL RIDE
THE WAVES OF LIFE
THE WAVES OF LIFE
FLYING HIGH INTO THE SKY
FLOATING FREELY,
NOT A WORRY IN SIGHT
SOARING, SOARING
TO HIGHER THAN HIGH
HIGHER THAN HIGH
UNTIL IT ALL COMES CRASHING DOWN
YEAH,
THEY STOMP YOU TO THE GROUND
YOU CAN’T HOPE,
YOU CAN’T DREAM
YOU CAN’T WONDER
NO NO NO, OH
YES IT ALL COMES CRASHING DOWN
DOWN, DOWN
FEET ON SOLID GROUND
SOMEONE TO HOLD YOU TIGHT
ON THE COLDEST OF NIGHTS
FEELINGS VIVID BRIGHT
BRIGHTER THAN SUNLIGHT
STARS IN YOUR EYES
UNTIL IT ALL COMES CRASHING DOWN
YEAH,
THEY STOMP YOU TO THE GROUND
YOU CAN’T HOPE
YOU CAN’T DREAM
YOU CAN’T WONDER
NO NO NO, OH
IT ALL COMES CRASHING DOWN
DOWN, DOWN
WE’RE FALLING WILTED PETALS
SHARP AND JAGGED METALS
HOPING EARTH WILL HOLD US
GENTLY IN HER BLANKET
PRESSURE, PRESSURE
MAKE US STRONGER
DIAMONDS OF HER EYES
BLUE MARVEL SPLIT THE MOON IN TWO
HALF FOR ME, AND HALF FOR YOU
THE WORLD IS FRIGID,
HARD TO STAY WITH IT
BUT THEN THERE’S HOPE
OUR COLLECTIVE CLOAK
UNTIL IT ALL COMES CRASHING DOWN
YEAH,
THEY STOMP YOU TO THE GROUND
YOU CAN’T HOPE,
YOU CAN’T DREAM,
YOU CAN’T WONDER,
NO NO NO, OH
AND IT ALL COMES CRASHING DOWN
DOWN, DOWN
(REPEAT)
