Every Time I See You Falling (Bizarre Love Triangle)

The song 'Every Time I See You Falling (Bizarre Love Triangle)' by Donna Lewis, a cover of the New Order original, delves into the complexities of unrequited love and emotional turmoil. The lyrics express the singer's intense feelings for someone, symbolized by a 'bolt of blue'—a sudden, electrifying emotion that is both exhilarating and painful. The singer acknowledges that these feelings are a personal problem, one that they find themselves unable to escape from, indicating a deep sense of entrapment within their own emotions.

The chorus reveals a sense of longing and desperation, as the singer admits to praying every time they see the object of their affection 'falling,' which could mean falling out of love or struggling in some way. The singer is waiting for a moment of revelation when the other person will express feelings that the singer themselves cannot articulate. This suggests a communication barrier and a hope for reciprocation that may never come.

The second verse touches on the singer's confusion and self-doubt. They feel good, yet they also recognize that something is not right, hinting at the bittersweet nature of their emotions. The singer questions the authenticity of the other person's identity and admits that hurting someone else would prevent them from ever understanding the true potential of their relationship. This internal conflict and the yearning for clarity in a relationship that seems to be stuck in a state of ambiguity are central themes of the song.
