Song Meaning of “Fall On You” by The Plimsouls
The song Fall On You by The Plimsouls is about the struggles we all face in our lives. The narrator in the song is singing about the hard times they are going through, the fears, anxieties, and pressures of everyday life, and how these affect them. They are searching for a place to find solace and peace. They know they can’t handle it all on their own and are asking for something, or someone to fall on them and take all their troubles away.
The chorus of the song speaks to how much they need to find the help and strength they need to carry on:
“Oh I want something to fall on me
Or someone to take me away
I’m getting no reward for kindness
And I’m crawling my way”
The lyrics reflect an inner struggle between who we want to be, and the reality of our lives and the world around us. In spite of all the stress and hardships, the narrator still looks to find a way out and wants to create a better life for themselves. With not much assurance and help, they find it within themselves to overcome any situation they are faced with. The song gives a reminder that we need to believe in ourselves to do the impossible.
