The meaning of the lyrics of the song "The Fall" by the artist "Weeknd, The"

In "The Fall," The Weeknd portrays a hedonistic and self-destructive lifestyle that came with his fame and fortune.

The first verse paints a picture of a superficial relationship with a girl who seems more interested in his money than in him. The lyrical hero, though aware of this, doesn't resist and enjoys showing off his extravagance. He compares himself to a child unable to manage money and emphasizes his celebrity status. The image of "cooks" with "plates" hints at drug use, adding a note of danger and recklessness to the song.

The chorus reflects the emotional state of the lyrical hero. He acknowledges the emptiness of his existence but doesn't see it as a problem, enjoying the moment. The phrase "I ain't at my peak" implies that he is still in the process of self-destruction and hasn't hit rock bottom. The repetition of "I feel so good" sounds more like self-persuasion than genuine joy. There is no fear of falling, as the hero has already been "on the ground" many times, implying that he has experienced many falls and disappointments.

The second verse delves into introspection. The lyrical hero admits that his lifestyle hurts his mother, but he can't change himself. He describes his relationship with a girl as empty and based on money, using the derogatory term "basic." He boasts about his ability to get anything he wants, including access to women, and uses drugs ("weed from BC," "Texas tea"). At the end of the verse, he proclaims himself the next big star, emphasizing his self-confidence despite his self-destructive behavior.

Overall, "The Fall" is a dark reflection of the dark side of fame, where material success goes hand in hand with emotional emptiness, addictions, and toxic relationships.

[Verse 1:]

You been pickin' my voice to dance to,

You say my money no good in here,

Even though I didn't ask you.

And it's the most you've worked,

Even though I probably don't deserve this, girl,

But you been dreamin' for this moment, so you have to.

Baby, it's okay,

I got show money, baby,

I wanna show you how I blow money, baby,

I wanna show you how I throw money, baby,

I'm a kid, so it's hard for me to hold money, baby,

‘Cause I'm a star, don't get it twisted.

Got some trappers in my car,

What kind of caps I got? The brownest of them all,

Somebody pop ‘em before we pop ‘em all, before we pop ‘em all.

[Chorus:]

This this ain't nothin', but it's all I need,

And the peak ain't reached but the peak is all I feel,

And it feels so good,

It feels so good,

It feels so good,

It feels so good.

I ain't scared of the fall,

I ain't scared of the fall,

I ain't scared of the fall,

I ain't scared of the fall,

I've felt the ground before,

I've felt the ground before,

I've felt the ground before,

I've felt the ground before

‘Cause I ain't scared of the fall.

[Verse 2:]

Mama, I understand why you're mad,

And it hurts to accept what I am,

And how I live,

And what I do,

But I've been good since Thursday,

Yes, I've been good since Thursday.

So you can watch my love vanish

In a girl with no talent,

‘Bout to make moolah vanish.

Call her friend for my friend,

And friends name's Lexus,

I let my ngas test it,

Her morals worth a cent,

And best believe I already spent it.

My blunt full of B.C.,

My cup full of Texas,

Flown on that OVO jet,

Yeah, I said it, I was born to be reckless,

Was forced to make records,

So you ain't gotta ask, “Who's next?”

[Chorus]

XO. [x4]
