Lyrics:

I don't know about my dreams.

I don't know about my dreamin anymore.

All that I know is

I'm fallin, fallin, fallin, fallin.

Might as well fall in.

I don't know about my love.

I don't know about my lovin anymore.

All that I know is

I'm fallin, fallin, fallin, fallin.

Might as well fall in.

I don't know about my dreams.

I don't know about my dreamin anymore.

All that I know is

I'm fallin, fallin, fallin, fallin.

Fallin.

I don't know about my love.

I don't know about my lovin anymore.

All that I know is

I'm lovin, fallin, lovin, lovin.

Might as well love you.

I don't know about my love.

I don't know about my lovin anymore.

All that I know is

I'm turnin, turnin, turnin, turnin,

Might as well turn in.

I don't know about my dreams.

I don't know about my dreamin anymore.

All that I know is

I'm fallin, fallin, fallin, fallin.

Might as well fall in.

I don't know about my love.

I don't know about my lovin anymore.

All that I know is

I'm fallin, fallin, fallin, fallin.

Might as well fall in.

I don't know about my dreams.

I don't know about my dreamin anymore.

All that I know is

I'm fallin, fallin, fallin, fallin.

Fallin.

I don't know about my love.

I don't know about my lovin anymore.

All that I know is

I'm lovin, lovin, lovin, lovin.

Might as well love you.

I don't know about my dreams.

I don't know about my dreamin anymore.

All that I know is

I'm fallin, fallin, fallin, fallin.

Might as well fall in.

Meaning:

For me i think this song is about a guy who has just met this girl, perhaps having recently ended a previous relationship, so his minds a bit everywhere ( I don't know about my love, I don't know about my lovin anymore) he maybe doubts his own judgement, doesnt know what he should be feeling etc.

But meets this girl, and is totally absorbed by her, and as much as he tries to figure his emotions out and be rational about it, he cant help but fall for her. (All that i know is im falling falling falling, might as well fall in).

What I find interesting is the title. The Wilhelm Scream is a stock sound byte that was original used in the movie Distant Drums in 1951 and was then recycled over and over in action films whenever someone got shot with an arrow or gun. Perhaps he's used this as a sort of dark and obscure bit of humour, as if to say, 'Oh great, here we go again'. And perhaps to say that he is being shot, perhaps by cupid's arrow... yet again and is apprehensive, as everyone relationship before has ended so, so badly.
