🎶 Fault Lines song analysis

The song describes how the protagonist sees the world as full of danger and instability, like landmines and fault lines that can shatter the ground and relationships. He admits to having his own emotional and secret issues that are as deep as fault lines, and he lives his life by taking risks and going wherever he wants, accepting the danger that comes with it. The song compares the protagonist to an acrobat on a wire, who manages to stay balanced despite the faulty cable he is walking on, just as the protagonist tries to keep his life together despite his own inner turmoil.
