Marianas Trench – Fallout lyrics
An empty room,
I'm empty too
Everything that I do
Reminds me of you
So many things that
I shouldn't have missed
The more that I push
And the more you resist
It's easy to say it's for the best
When you want more,
Well you leave me with less

I know you're fine, but what do I do?
I know you're fine, but what do I do?

I'm awake, and trying
While you're sleeping like a babe
Beside him
I'm on the ledge while you're so
God damn polite and composed
And I know you see me,
And you're making it look so easy
What comes and goes,
I go without.

I know you're fine but what about
(Fallout), Fallout, (fallout), fallout (fallout)
Through the Fallout
(Fallout), Fallout, (fallout), fallout, (fallout)
You're the fallout

Well now there's him,
And now there's me
The secrets you give
And the secrets you keep
Nevertheless
It's never your less
The more that I give
And the less that I get
Don't tell me to fight,
To fight for you
After this long, I shouldn't have to

I know you're fine, but what do I do?
I know you're fine, but what do I do?

I'm awake, and trying
While you're sleeping like a babe
Beside him
I'm on the ledge while you're so
God damn polite and composed
And I know you see me,
And you're making it look so easy
What comes and goes,
I'd go without

I know you're fine but what about
(Fallout), Fallout, (fallout), fallout (fallout)
Through the Fallout
(Fallout), Fallout, (fallout), fallout, (fallout)

I know you're fine but what about
(Fallout), Fallout, (fallout), fallout (fallout)
Through the Fallout
(Fallout), Fallout, (fallout), fallout, (fallout)
You're the fallout

I know you're fine, but what do I do?
I know you're fine, but what do I do?

I know you're fine but what about
(Fallout), Fallout, (fallout), fallout (fallout)
Through the Fallout
(Fallout), Fallout, (fallout), fallout, (fallout)

I know you're fine but what if I
(Fallout)
I'm awake, and trying
While you're sleeping like a babe
Beside him
I'm on the ledge while you're so
God damn polite and composed

(Fallout), Fallout, (fallout), fallout (fallout)
Through the Fallout
(Fallout), Fallout, (fallout), fallout, (fallout)
Through the bottom
(Fallout) fallout (fallout)

    After a great run, the relationship disintegrates and while the guy is still madly in love with the girl and heartstricken with grief at the end of them, the girl is with someone else who she apparently was already in love with even when she was with the other guy. He is betrayed but he is still willing to fight for her and go through all the pain because he will always love her even though she hurt him.

    I dunt think that this song is about someone who cheated, I think they broke up. The girl has obviously moved on, but he hasn't. And she still keeps him as a friend and still wants him to care, but, it's tearing him apart because he's trying to get over her. And he doesn't understand how she can be so calm about everything and move on so easily while he's still struggling with it.

    I know this song was written for something else but I like to think of something else when I listen to this song. To me it means what child services has been putting me through. They make me suffer and have a lot of problems from tramatizing me so much in life. I especially like the one line in this song "i know you're fine, but what do i do? ". Describes perfectly how I feel of them. But everything really describes of how I feel about them. I'm trying so hard and it seems like they're doing nothing and they don't care. I was I was 18 already so I can get out of this.

    A guy likes a girl a lot but then she just starts dating another guy out of nowhere and leaves him. He probably thought she loved him very much and she acted like she did but then just left. That's why he is really sad and she just acts like its no big deal and doesn't care about him even though she secretly still does and she is acting like she is very happy now and with someone better and still makes him feel bad because she knows he is probably jealous and it makes her feel good for some reason cause she gets someone she likes a lot but she actually loves him more and she shouldnt have left him in the first place since they loved each other so much.

    I think it kind of represents the times today where not many people are willing to work to make relationships work. When things start to go in a direction they didn't foresee or want many just give up or start to move on. I think this is that where the guy seems to be kind of blindsided and struggling to come to terms with the fact that this girl after so much time together just gave up, and moved on so easily where he's struggling to piece his life back together now.

    They may have broken up but I don't think it is completely over as she seems to be with someone new yet he says things like a secret to give and keep and how she says to fight for her and he shouldn't have to, so it seems like she wants something new but doesn't want to give him up either and so he is torn because he knows he should let go but can't so he is torn up dealing with the fallout.

    I think this song has no meaning but its more of an outlook onto society and comparing it to a fallout (a metephor in a way). He is saying he is watching everything that happens beneath him and the corruption that has occured and cannot stop it, or even prevent it from happening again. That's why he has no options when thinking "what could i do". When talking about being polite and composed, I think its more saying that everyone is a fake and represent themselves with the "correct image" while in reality they don't truly express who they are, causing more problems within in the society itself. Thusly, this song is a statement rather than a meaning. He is saying that he is watching everyone live their lives falsely and cannot stop the corruption and desparation, and the depression or problems.

    This song really speaks to my life right now. There is this guy who is one of my best friends, and I have feelings for him. He has feelings for me too. We both think that out of everyone we know, we are the most compatible for each other. But I know he's actually all wrong for me (he has a history of cheating, while I was cheated on and heartbroken by my previous bf who I loved). He also has a girlfriend, who I guess he's happy enough with to stay with. But like it's been said: "there's a difference between knowing what's right, and what you feel in your heart".

    The exact same way I feel about my ex. We're together for almost a year, she helped me through an extremly hard time, she meant everything to me, and still does. She cheated on me with another guy and eventually left me for him. There isn't a day that I don't think about her, or wish I had her back. I've had other girlfriends after her, but their just not. Her. I never moved on, while shes good and over me, we still talk, but only as friends.

    They broke up, and he hurts and wants her back, she doesn't care and is being composed though it all while he wishes he could die. She is with another guy not remembering what they had, while he lays awake wish for her to come back. She is fine, while he can't stop thinking about her. She wants him to fight to get her back, but after all they have been through he feels that he shouldn't have too.

    Ur hurtin & no one cares. She's there with him pretending it's all good, when it's not, cause while she's with him, he's waiting & still carin for her! & he knows he shouldn't cause she broke his heart! But there's a difference from knowin what's right, & what you feel in ur heart. So in the song, he says that he'll always love her, but if she chooses the other guy. He won't be there for her to lean on anymore.
