Scales Are Falling Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This is a tale so dark and dim
Of wicked hearts, the minds of men
Who spin their lies and hurt their kin
[Chorus]
Scales are falling, father
From my eyes like water
Is there no way to stop her?
[Verse 2]
She knows it comes with scorn and pain
A sacrifice she has to make
Her love won’t let her stay away
[Chorus]
Scales are falling, father
From my eyes like water
Is there no way to stop her?
Scales are falling harder
[Bridge]
All of these yеars, so unclear, with no sign at all
That what we held dеar, once revered, now is torn
God, what comes next? I confess I am scared as hell
Blind with regret, what is left? Nothing more
[Verse 3]
Times were simple and we had it all
But that was shattered, now the joy is gon
one to waste and lost forever
[Bridge]
Now she fears that this could be the end
For every moment she has left to give
I hope that you will remember
In the end, he made it way too hard
In the end, he went and broke her heart
What she had is lost forever
[Pre-Chorus]
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
Scales are falling, father
From my eyes like water
Is there no way to stop her?
These scales are falling harder
[Outro/Guitar Solo]
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh

Scales Are Falling Lyrics Meaning
[Verse 1]
The song opens by describing a very dark story about people with cruel hearts who use lies to control others, even their own family, showing how human greed and dishonesty cause deep emotional damage.
[Chorus]
He finally sees the truth, feels his blindness washing away, and begs to know if there is any way to stop her path.
[Verse 2]
She understands that choosing love will bring judgment and suffering, but she accepts the sacrifice anyway, because her feelings are too strong to let her walk away or protect herself.
[Chorus]
As his awareness grows stronger, he feels the truth hitting harder each moment, like water clearing his eyes, while he pleads with a father figure, hoping someone can still stop her suffering.
[Bridge]
He looks back on many confusing years, realizing too late that something once loved and trusted has completely fallen apart. Facing the future terrifies him, and regret leaves him feeling blind and empty, wondering what remains now that everything he believed in feels destroyed. There is no clear sign of hope, only fear about what comes next.
[Verse 3]
He remembers a time when life felt easy and full, but that happiness was suddenly broken, leaving nothing but loss, regret, and the painful knowledge that those better days will never return.
[Bridge]
She is now afraid that everything is ending, yet she keeps giving whatever time and love she has left. He hopes she will remember the truth. A man made things unbearable, shattered her trust, and broke her heart. Because of that damage, everything she once held close is gone, and what she offered with love cannot be recovered, leaving deep scars and a sense of final loss.
[Pre-Chorus]
An emotional cry without words.
[Chorus]
His understanding keeps deepening as illusions fall away, like water clearing his sight, and he urgently asks a father figure if there is still any chance to stop her before more damage is done.
[Outro/Guitar Solo]
The sounds express raw emotion, pain, and release, letting the feelings linger without explanation as the music carries the weight of the story.
