Song 246
Hello my fellow music lovers! Welcome back to the blog! Today I will be reviewing Fallout by Marianas Trench! The last time I reviewed anything by them was when I did the album review for Fix Me. So It's been awhile, and this song is very special to me so I thought it would be a good chance to review it! Let's get into it!
Starting with the intro, we have this really unique sound that I could never quite place. It kind of sounds like pianos mixed with synths but I'm not sure. It sounds really neat though. Then the drums come into play, followed by the first verse: "An empty room, I'm empty too. And everything reminds me of you. So many things, 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, while you leave me with less." I love how poetic the song writing is on this, I've always thought Josh was a very strong songwriter. This song particularly, is very well thought out. We have the pre-chorus: "I know you're fine, but what do I do? I know you're fine, but what do I do?" This line hits different now, not just because I'm an adult listening to this now, but because of past experiences. It's amazing how songs can do that. The chorus: "I'm awake, and trying. While you're sleeping like a babe beside him. I'm on the ledge, while you're so. God d*** 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, through the fallout. Fallout, fallout, fallout, fallout. You're the fallout." This is basically saying how when a relationship ends, and one person is fine but the other one is not. And all the emotions that come with that. Its showcased very well here. Also the music video for this, brings these feelings to light in a more clear way. It really shows how much these things can effect us. The second verse: "Well now there's him, and now there's me. The secrets you give, and the secrets you keep. And nevertheless, it's never you let. The more that I give, and the less that I get. Dont tell me to fight, to fight for you. After this long I shouldn't have to." The more than I give and the less that I get line, has deeper meaning to me now. I can fully understand that line now, because I did feel like I gave so much, but didn't get a lot in return. That takes a tole on you. But I know now, that both people in a realtionship need a balance of give and take. The chrous repeats, a bunch of times. Because there isn't really a bridge, just a slow down of the chorus. And the outro, bleeds into the next song on the album. At least album version of the song does. If it's just by itself then the song ends normally. I also really love how this song is arranged, the chorus is very catchy. And the backing vocals from the other guys, really adds some dimension to it. And of course, Josh's lead vocals always come through in the most beautiful way.
That's it for this review, I hope you consider checking it out, and the music video as well. Until next time, happy listening! :) RAWR XD <3
