Behind-the-Song: Falling pt.4 (Patreon)

 This whole chorus was about me being so dizzy I fell when I tried to stand up 😂

I was, quite literally, falling.

I do actually really like this chorus, but I genuinely don't know that I have a whole lot more to say about it, because to me, I wrote it while very unwell and just trying to make light of a shitty situation. I am genuinely holding back a laugh just thinking about the whole thing 😂

I know it probably doesn't seem funny to most, that I wrote this whole chorus just trying to find clever ways to describe being really dizzy and out of it and falling on my butt. But to me, there's something so comical about the fact that the "laces are tied together" line was me just trying to think of something else that would cause you to fall on your butt when you stood 😂

"Reality's racing away from me" was about how everything looked so strange and it was hard to have my eyes open because, as I mentioned previously, it was like my brain couldn't process what my eyes were seeing fast enough, so everything left a trail behind it. So literally, nothing looked real. It was all like smudging paint. Because what I was seeing was moving faster than my brain could process - because my brain was struggling to process movement at all; it was already spinning!

And "chasing to find my feet" was about me just having a hard time getting back up 😅 I know it isn't funny...but it's kinda funny... 🙈

And then the last chorus speeds up exclusively to give it a more literal interpretation 🤷‍♀️ And because I thought it would be funny 😅
