Song Meaning of “It All Comes Out (On The Way Down)” by In Fear And Faith
This powerful, emotive song by In Fear And Faith speaks of the struggles that come with a breakdown in relationships, and how despite even our best efforts to hold it together, it all comes crashing down. The narrator is at a crossroads and realizes that the only way to go is “down” into the depths of their woes.
The lyrics seep with sadness and regret from the start as the narrator reflects on a love that was strong before it came undone. The lyrics, “Time will only tell, all the storm clouds in your head. All the things you said, echoed through my heart” allude to the narrator’s lingering feelings of love and pain as they come face-to-face with the end of their relationship.
The chorus offers a sense of closure as the protagonist comes to terms that it was always leading to this path: “It all comes out, on the way down. Show me the way, there’s no use in staying. I waited for this day, it all comes out, on the way down.”
The narrator is finally ready to acknowledge that there’s no use in staying and that no matter what they try, the relationship is falling apart. They’re now facing the inevitable outcome and must accept that it all comes out on the way down.
