Deitrick Haddon’s “The Fallen” isn’t just a song; it’s a captivating narrative woven into a powerful musical tapestry. It tells the story of Dwight Hawkins, a man on the cusp of achieving his dreams in the music industry. Yet, amidst the glittering lights and rising fame, Dwight finds himself succumbing to the temptations lurking in the shadows.
Haddon masterfully paints a picture of Dwight’s initial optimism, capturing the excitement of his newfound success with lyrics like, “Everything I’ve been working for is about to take flight.” The rising melody mirrors Dwight’s ascent, creating a sense of anticipation and possibility.
But the song takes a heartbreaking turn as Dwight loses his way. The initial excitement fades, replaced by a sense of isolation and despair. Lyrics like, “My spirit tells me he’s in trouble” foreshadow the darkness that awaits Dwight, a stark contrast to the bright promises of the song’s beginning.
However, “The Fallen” isn’t a story without hope. Just as Dwight reaches his lowest point, the narrative takes a powerful shift. Lines like, “He’s at the point of giving it all up, until an intervention and the visitation of the Holy Spirit shows he still has a purpose,” signal a turning point in Dwight’s journey.
The Fallen by Deitrick Haddon Lyrics
Used to be an angel but I’m fallen
I lost my wings now I’m crawling
Do you even hear when I’m calling
How did I become the fallen
Used to be an angel but you’re fallen
You don’t lost your wings now you’re fallen
Don’t know if you’ll ever get to fly again
How did I become the fallen
Falling down
Falling down
Pick me up when I’m down
Lord help me I’m down
Falling down
Falling down
Don’t let me stay down
Lord help me I’m down
Prophets lying with no conviction
People flocking like an addiction
These demons are real man no fiction
Devil just looses with not restrictions
Tell me what’s going on with us Christian’s
Know the truth but you don’t list
Your tradition and religion
Gotta go back to the beginning
Falling down
Falling down
Pick me up when I’m down
Lord help me I’m down
Falling down
Falling down
Don’t let me stay down
Lord help me I’m down
Oh I’m need of revival
To feel your spirit is what I need
Oh I’ve been in denial
It’s time for me to break this cycle
I’m tired of dancing with the devil
He’s trying to bring me down to hades
I wanna be an angel
Living without you is too painful
Up
Jesus lift me up when I need a little help
Calling on you
Lift me up when I need a little help
Use to be an angels but I’m fallen
I am on my knees and I am calling
I just want my wings so I can fly again
