About This Track

'fallout' by Powfu is a 2023 pop track on the album 'Gathered By The Lantern'. The lyrics are voiced as a tense address to an old friend, mixing weariness and isolation with a brittle sense of negotiation, as the narrator admits they hate what their companion listens to and describes time spent in the dark. There is also a grim, watchful edge to the imagery, with talk of getting ready for the harvest and the sense that survival is being traded for another year. The whole thing reads like a conversation that turns into a reckoning, with the refrain-like greeting landing like a hook.

"fallout" is a track by Powfu, from the album Gathered By The Lantern, released 5th October 2023. The track is 3:03 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Powfu.

Lyrics

fallout

(Hey old friend)
(How has everything been?)
(Do you still have the memories from then?)
(Hey old friend) Uh

I hate that you listen to garbage
I can't even leave my apartment
Spent two nights in the darkness
Wanna live another year, but I know that's a bargain
Prepare for the harvest, these nights are the hardest
Take what you need then leave me in the garden
I'll build a hideout where no one can find me
Under the stars, but none of them shining (Ayy)

Never let it sit, never let it sink in
I don't wanna think, I've been staying distant
I don't wanna know, only thing I know now
I ain't falling in love to fall out
Never let it sit, never let it sink in
I don't wanna think, I've been staying distant
I don't wanna know, only thing I know now
I ain't falling in love to fall out

Met you for the first time at one of my shows, didn't think much of that night we spoke
Now looking back, didn't miss one note
Found a new home when you wore my coat
Girl, you the last I expected
Knife in my chest, tears on my cheeks
I won't go out for I don't bother
Said all I have, then cut off my tongue
Why is it hard saying bye to a monster?

How has everything been?
Do you still have the memories from then? (Hey old friend) Uh

I hate that you listen to garbage
I can't even leave my apartment
Spent two nights in the darkness
Wanna live another year, but I know that's a bargain
Prepare for the harvest, these nights are the hardest
Take what you need then leave me in the garden
I'll build a hideout where no one can find me
Under the stars, but none of them shining

Never let it sit, never let it sink in
I don't wanna think, I've been staying distant
I don't wanna know, only thing I know now
I ain't falling in love to fall out
Never let it sit, never let it sink in
I don't wanna think, I've been staying distant
I don't wanna know, only thing I know now
I ain't falling in love to fall out (Yeah)

Six pills, I don't know what I'm drinkin'
But I know I don't know what I think, uh
My world feel like it's sinkin'
On and on, I'm sick of it
Ten roads, I don't know what I'm thinkin'
But I know I don't want this choice
I blame you that my life's in a spiral
But right now I got no one to dial
