Line 9:
Fall back is also a military term and command meaning to retreat and temporarily cease combat.
 
It is also a nickname for when [[Daylight Saving Time]] ends each year, referring to how clocks are set back one hour in the fall, hence 'fall back'. After Fall Back, the sun sets one hour earlier.
 
In [[military slang]], it is a term used on the [[battlefield]] to [[retreat]]; i.e., falling back to another position.
