Fall Back

Yonas's song 'Fall Back' is a raw and introspective look at the artist's feelings of disillusionment and struggle. The lyrics convey a sense of being alive yet not truly living, a common theme in songs that touch on inner turmoil and the search for meaning. Yonas expresses a deep sense of being 'broken,' a metaphor for the emotional and psychological scars that life's challenges can leave. He feels disconnected from the success and happiness that others seem to achieve effortlessly, which is a poignant reflection on the disparities in life's outcomes.

The song also touches on the societal pressures to conform to a superficial lifestyle, symbolized by the 'polo sweater' and the 'cold cold shepherd.' Yonas rejects this shallow existence and vows to be the one to 'wake us all up,' indicating a desire to inspire change and a deeper understanding of life's true values. His reference to not having luxury cars ('no lambo no doors go up') but still having stories to tell underscores the idea that material wealth is not the measure of a person's worth or the richness of their life experience.

'Fall Back' is a call to acknowledge the struggles and the authenticity of one's journey, even when it doesn't align with conventional measures of success. Yonas's message is one of resilience and hope, as he fights through the unseen battles ('I fight through what they cannot see') and remains committed to his path, despite the lack of recognition or fame. The repeated plea to be heard before he 'falls' is a powerful reminder of the human need for connection and understanding.
