Cleo Sol - Life Will Be [ Slowed & Reverb ]

I stayed inside this silence past the line
You turned your face away from the room
The longer I remain, the less I recognize myself
Ooh, I crossed this threshold far too deep

I don’t know how to move now, no
Near you, time kept bending out of shape
I froze in place somehow

You shifted gears, your voice lost its weight
The more you loosened, the more I disappeared
I crossed this threshold far too deep to turn

Oh, oh, oh
I watched myself dissolve a little more
I don’t know how to leave now
Oh, oh

Don’t ask me to be solid
Oh darling, I’m scattered on the ground
Please don’t ask me to re-form now

I’m hollow, I’m hollow
I’m hollow to the bone and I can’t reset now
Please, please
Please, please, no
Don’t ask me to be whole again, girl, no

I don’t know how to move now

“Humpty’s Fall” is a modern blues fable told with a crooked smile and an old soul.

Borrowing the bones of a nursery rhyme, the song watches a powerful figure climb too high on a wall built from ego, spectacle, and borrowed loyalty. The fall isn’t rushed, and it isn’t forced. Gravity does what gravity always does.

The blues doesn’t judge the fall it observes it.

What lingers isn’t the crash, but what happens after
how praise fades, how silence suddenly finds its voice, and how loyalty often turns out to be a lease, not a vow.

The spoken moments in the song echo an older blues tradition where the guitar talks back, and wisdom slips in sideways between the notes. Humor opens the door, but truth walks through.

This isn’t about one man alone.
It’s about power, fear, ambition, and how quickly a crowd steps back once the wall gives way.

The blues has seen this story before.
It’s just telling it again.

[Verse 1]
Humpty climbed high on a wall of his name,
Gold-plated promises, mirrors and flame.
Said, “I alone can fix it,” laughed at the fall,
Till he tripped on a tie draggin’ halfway down the wall.

Mmm…
Seen that walk before.
Walls look real friendly…
till they don’t.

[Chorus]
All the king’s horses, all the king’s men,
Looked at the pieces… said, “Not again.”

[Verse 2]
Once they knew Humpty was down for good,
Funny how the truth came back like it always should.
Things they swallowed started rollin’ again,
Words they used to say… back before “amen.”

Yeah…
Funny thing about truth—
It gets real brave
once the danger’s gone.

[Chorus]
All the king’s horses, all the king’s men,
Checked their reflections… said, “Not again.”

[Verse 3]
They never sang praise till it paid their rent,
Or fear taught ‘em which way the silence went.
Turns out crowns weigh more than they seem,
When the fall ain’t shared… just blamed on the dream.

Ain’t my job to fix him, son.
Blues just tells you
what happened.

[Final Chorus]
All the king’s horses, all the king’s men,
Coulda helped…
but they didn’t want to
put him back together again.

[Outro]
Gravity don’t take sides.
And walls don’t forgive.
