The song "Fallin' For Fallout" by JT Machinima is a catchy and humorous tribute to the popular video game series Fallout. The lyrics tell the story of a person who has become completely infatuated with the game and has lost interest in their significant other. The protagonist, referred to as "Dollface" or "baby," acknowledges that their love for Fallout has taken over and is no longer as interested in their partner as before. Despite this, they reassure their partner that it doesn't mean they don't love them anymore but that they have developed feelings for another person. They mention that their eyes reveal this new love interest. The protagonist expresses their desire to escape to the city depicted in their dreams, where they hope to find someone who will appreciate their unique qualities and validate their love for the game. They compare the intensity of this newfound love to radiation, emphasizing how strong and consuming their feelings are. The song playfully encourages the partner to explore the game, particularly referring to Fallout 3, as a means to understand the protagonist's obsession and perhaps even enjoy it. The protagonist suggests that their partner saying goodbye to their previous social life is necessary to fully embrace and appreciate Fallout. The protagonist addresses the partner's impatience and frustration with their obsession, suggesting that their constant questioning and complaints are becoming irritating. They compare the partner's words to the sound of a jump-jet, indicating annoyance and repetitive patter. The lyrics continue to express the protagonist's dedication and love for the Fallout series, particularly Fallout 4. They mention how they would gladly experience the end of the world portrayed in the game, accompanied by their loyal companion, Dogmeat. The protagonist relates their intense emotional connection to the game to the developers behind it, particularly mentioning Doc Howard, possibly referencing Todd Howard, the director and executive producer of the Fallout series. The protagonist revels in their solitude in the wasteland, stating that being alone in the game holds more value than being with their partner, comparing their worth to ten caps, the currency used in the Fallout universe. They even humorously claim that they would lock themselves in a real vault, equipped with gaming consoles and Nuka-Cola Quantum (a special drink in the game), just to prove their devotion. The lyrics acknowledge the partner's disapproval and discontent with the protagonist's obsession, especially with Fallout 4. The partner deems the game as silly or pointless, believing it to be the reason for their impending breakup. However, the protagonist dismisses these criticisms and declares their unyielding loyalty to Fallout, suggesting that they don't need their partner if they have the game. Overall, the song serves as a lighthearted and exaggerated portrayal of a person's obsession with the Fallout video game series and the impact it has on their relationship. It humorously expresses the protagonist's dedication and love for the game, contrasting it with their diminishing interest in their partner.
