About This Track

'Falling' by Fever Ray is an alternative track from the album 'Plunge' (2017). The lyrics sketch a quick, disorienting turn, with the narrator learning something that arrives like a flash, then finding themselves worn down by repeated feelings of being “dirty again”. Alongside the language of queer healing, there is a tired, frustrated honesty, and a sense of pushing on while acknowledging the low is still a low. The voice sounds caught between determination and fatigue, as if the aftermath comes just as fast as the moment itself.

"Falling" is a track by Fever Ray, from the album Plunge, released 26th October 2017. The track is 5:03 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 3 articles about Fever Ray.

Lyrics

Falling

I learned this a while ago
Now it just takes a second
Didn't see it coming at all
It was over in seconds

Sometimes a low is a low
Still we're pushing what's possible
A queer healing
But I'm just tired of feeling

You made me dirty again
She makes me feel dirty again
That old feeling of shame
She makes me feel dirty again

Dirty again
Why she wants me dirty again?

Dirty again
She's making me feel dirty again

Making me feel I want too much
Making me feel it's enough

Come over and see it

Come over and see yourself

Dirty
Why she wants me dirty?

Dirty again
She's making me dirty again
