Gravity
Eden Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴I wanted you to be the last thing on my mind
I wanted you to be the reason I close my eyes
But I can't sleep
And oh god I wanted to be your high
But everything I said it went unheard
And everything you saw with eyes straight blurred
Became our downfall
Cos you say I drink and I smoke and I talk too much But I know you lied when you said that you just gotta go and save yourself
So hear me out
You know everybody talks girl
And it means nothing till you let it
But if you keep second guessing then there's only gonna be one end

But you can leave if you really want to
And you can run if you feel you have to
And I'll be fine if you ever ask me
I know its hard, but no one said its easy
Falling's easy

But there's only one way up

So I been thinking that I think too much
And I can't sleep but I can dream of us
And I've been seeing shit like horror cuts
It's burning down, I gotta drown this out
And you said you need me to let this go

But it's who I am or am I just losing it
Cos you said jump and I went first but falling's always been my downfall

And you say I drink and I smoke and I talk too much
But I know you lied when you said that you just had enough and save yourself
So hear me out

You know everybody talks girl
And it means nothing till you let it
And if you keep second guessing then there's only gonna be one end

But you can leave if you really want to
And you can run if you feel you have to
And I can drink if I feel I have to
I know its hard, but I can't feel like I used to
Like I used to
Cos I used to defy gravity
Defy gravity
Goodbyes keep dragging me
Down
And I'm fighting gravity
Defying gravity
I tried but I keep falling

Cos falling's easy
But it only brings you down

The singer is confessing to their partner that they had hoped they could be the reason for their contentment and peace, but unfortunately, this hasn't been the case. The singer is having trouble sleeping and feels as if they are losing control of their own identity while trying to keep their partner satisfied. There's a constant back-and-forth of accusations and unfulfilled promises between the couple. The partner criticizes the singer for their drinking and smoking habits, and for talking too much, leading to doubts and insecurities in the singer's mind. They feel misunderstood and believes their partner has lied about wanting to save themselves, rather than save the relationship.

Line by Line Meaning

I wanted you to be the last thing on my mind
I hoped to have you in my thoughts all the time


I wanted you to be the reason I close my eyes
I wished to dream of you every time I fall asleep


But I can't sleep
My mind is preoccupied and I am unable to rest


And oh god I wanted to be your high
I sought to be the one thing that made you feel alive


But everything I said it went unheard
My words had no effect and were ignored


And everything you saw with eyes straight blurred
You failed to perceive the truth clearly


Became our downfall
Our relationship eventually ended due to the aforementioned reasons


Cos you say I drink and I smoke and I talk too much
You accuse me of excessive behavior


But I know you lied when you said that you just gotta go and save yourself
I realize you were deceiving me by saying that you left to save yourself


So hear me out
Please listen to what I have to say


You know everybody talks girl
People say a lot of things but they don't always mean anything


And it means nothing till you let it
Words alone cannot cause harm unless you allow them to


But if you keep second guessing then there's only gonna be one end
If you continue doubting everything, our relationship will not survive


But you can leave if you really want to
You have the option to walk away if you no longer wish to stay


And you can run if you feel you have to
If you feel the need to escape, you have the freedom to do so


And I'll be fine if you ever ask me
I will tell you that I'm okay if you inquire


I know its hard, but no one said its easy
I understand that it's difficult but that's just the way it is


Falling's easy
It's effortless to lose control


But there's only one way up
There's only one path to take to get out of a difficult situation


So I been thinking that I think too much
I am aware that I overanalyze things


And I can't sleep but I can dream of us
Even though I can't sleep, I can still imagine a future with you


And I've been seeing shit like horror cuts
I have been experiencing frightening and painful memories


It's burning down, I gotta drown this out
I need to forget the hurt and pain I'm feeling


And you said you need me to let this go
You want me to move on from this situation


But it's who I am or am I just losing it
I'm not sure if these feelings are part of me or if I'm going crazy


Cos you said jump and I went first but falling's always been my downfall
I took a risk for you but in the end, it led to my downfall


And you say I drink and I smoke and I talk too much
You accuse me of excessive behavior again


But I know you lied when you said that you just had enough and save yourself
I am certain that you didn't leave just because you couldn't handle me anymore


So hear me out
I'm still trying to convey my thoughts to you


You know everybody talks girl
People say things but they don't always mean them


And it means nothing till you let it
Words can't harm you if you choose to disregard them


And if you keep second guessing then there's only gonna be one end
Our relationship won't survive if you keep doubting everything


But you can leave if you really want to
You always have the option to walk away if you want to


And you can run if you feel you have to
If you need to escape, you're free to do so


And I can drink if I feel I have to
If I need to numb the pain, I may turn to alcohol


I know its hard, but I can't feel like I used to
I'm trying to cope with the fact that things will never be the same again


Like I used to
I can't feel the same way I did before


Cos I used to defy gravity
I used to feel invincible and unstoppable


Defy gravity
I was able to overcome any obstacle


Goodbyes keep dragging me
Every farewell I say affects me deeply


Down
It brings me down and leaves me feeling low


And I'm fighting gravity
I'm trying to resist the negative emotions that try to pull me down


Defying gravity
I'm trying to reclaim that feeling of invincibility


I tried but I keep falling
I've made an effort to regain control but it hasn't worked out


Cos falling's easy
It's effortless to lose control


But it only brings you down
In the end, it only leaves you feeling worse
