Song Meaning of “Sure To Fall” by Carl Perkins
‘Sure To Fall’ by Carl Perkins is a song about the perils of inexperienced love. The singer laments his past choices of putting his trust in the wrong people, and how making those decisions has inevitably caused him to suffer. He sings of the certainty that the relationships he’d previously thought of as perfect are doomed to fail, no matter how deeply in love he thought he was.
The narrator also focuses on the idea that he is never sure who he can truly rely on, since his youthful heart always promises him the important commitments of a fulfilling romance, only to let him down. His eventual realization that no person is reliable and that life doesn’t always work out the way he wants it to, leads him to conclude that he in sure to fall in the deep abyss of solitude.
In the end, the singer expresses his knowledge that trusting the wrong person can bring sorrow and regret. Though the narrator is uncertain about the future, he is sure of the fact that falling in love too quickly will only bring pain.
