Have you ever felt
Like you've gone too far to stop?
What if you're falling?
When you fall deeply
Quickly descending so bleak
Would you climb back up?
Have you ever tried
Climbing atop a mountain
And then miss the ground?
When you are falling
It's not the fall that kills you
It's the sudden stop.

Have you ever felt
Like you've gone too far to stop?
What if you're falling?
When you fall deeply
Quickly descending so bleak
Would you climb back up?
Have you ever tried
Climbing atop a mountain
And then miss the ground?
When you are falling
It's not the fall that kills you
It's the sudden stop.
Blanche is the man protagonist of the play A Streetcar Named Desire and a woman who lived in her delusions of reality. She continued to fall deeper into her dreams until a taste of reality made her snap to insanity in the end--- It was her fantasies that kept her sane.
Blanche is also close to the Blanca or Blancé meaning white or pure, basically empty.
