Probably, but it may not have been done on purpose but for that same theme to come up on four different songs sugest to me that his thought process is bringing up this images, like when you have dreams where you are falling through the sky and cant stop.

Good catch.
Also he is starting to quote himeself in songs and that is .... I don't know....weird.....
He also mention the word "THE" in a good number of songs.....I wonder what that means....

it's not a coincidence. It's an important thematic element of the album
Falling implies failure, weakness, error. The album is about learning to rise up from one.

there are a few other images that get used a few times
waves and homes are two of them. I don't think any of these (or most of them) are accidents. They're being repeated for a reason.

So do you think it was deliberate to include this theme or was the image in Eds mind and he wrote it down?
I suppose this is getting at how you write a song. Do you think what to write or do you feel, they are two different things.
Both--I think that idea was on his mind and this was one common image he used to express it.
