The song "Fall Apart" by Marina Lin & Jon Caryl explores the complexities and struggles of a failing relationship. The lyrics portray the confusion, heartbreak, and internal battles that come with the realization that things are no longer working out between two people. The opening lines, "Baby I'm flying through the ceiling, It's hitting me harder than I thought, Maybe the stars are losing meaning, Like cigarettes in flower pots," suggest a sense of detachment and loss of significance in the relationship. The comparison to "cigarettes in flower pots" implies a sense of decay and neglect. The chorus, "We'll be alright, Pretend we're fine, And barely even look at each other, We'll say we're good, Just like we should, When we both know it's just getting harder," highlights the facade the couple puts on to convince themselves and others that they are okay. However, deep down, they are aware that their relationship is becoming increasingly difficult. The verse, "So send my love to your mother, From the bottom of my heart, I wish it all could've been better, But things don't end the way they start," suggests a longing for things to have turned out differently. It acknowledges the disappointment and the realization that relationships don't always follow the initial expectations. The song also addresses the struggle of hiding doubts and emotions from each other to protect their already fractured hearts. The lines, "Hiding doubts from each other, Just to save our broken hearts, Were we meant to stay together, Or meant to fall apart," reflect on the doubt and uncertainty about the future of the relationship. The bridge, "Lately I hate the way I'm feeling, I swear to god that I'd delete my camera roll if I could, Cause I hate seeing the memories, Three years worth of loving you, Now what the hell do I do," delves into the pain of seeing reminders and memories of a failed relationship. The narrator expresses the struggle of figuring out what to do and how to move forward. The closing lines, "I can't find another way out, So I'll sink to the bottom of the ocean," reveal a sense of hopelessness and resignation. The singer feels trapped and unable to find a solution, contemplating giving up and succumbing to despair. Overall, "Fall Apart" captures the emotional journey of a failing relationship and the internal turmoil that comes with trying to hold onto something that may no longer be meant to be.
