Falls Apart Lyrics
Now your failure feeds the contempt
I can't sedate the way you break me down
I can't relieve the pain
I can't reduce the failure you've become
I can't accept the blame
Now
Now your failure that feeds the contempt
You imitate
The things you think
That isolate
What I want
I can't get through
It's never you
It's showing through
And it's wrong
You pushed me too far
And I'm tired now
It all falls apart
Now I'm finally down
I hate the way you turn this all around
So you can bleach your shame
Apology is not an option now
It won't erase the blame
Now
Now your failure that feeds the contempt
It's nothing new
I'll suffer through
It's all in you
And you're wrong
I compensate
You mutilate
It separates
And were done
You pushed me too far
And I'm tired now
It all falls apart
Now I'm finally down
(Pushing me too far)
I can't sedate the way you're breaking me
You're breaking me down
Now your failure that feeds the contempt
You pushed me too far
And I'm tired now
It all falls apart
Now I'm finally down
(Pushing me too far)
I can't relieve the pain
I can't reduce the failure you've become
I can't accept the blame
Now
The things you think
That isolate
What I want
I can't get through
It's never you
It's showing through
And it's wrong
And I'm tired now
It all falls apart
Now I'm finally down
So you can bleach your shame
Apology is not an option now
It won't erase the blame
Now
I'll suffer through
It's all in you
And you're wrong
I compensate
You mutilate
It separates
And were done
And I'm tired now
It all falls apart
Now I'm finally down
(Pushing me too far)
You're breaking me down
And I'm tired now
It all falls apart
Now I'm finally down
(Pushing me too far)

I take it as feeling hurt from a relationship that has broken down (fallen apart). The other party is trying to absolve themselves of any blame "Now your failure feeds your contempt ... So you bleach your shame", and put all the blame on the narrator.
The narrator however is having none of this, and is saying both of us were at fault and they are just not hiding from the fact that they were at fault also (like the target of the song).
In the end their relationship has failed because the partner can not shoulder any responsibility and does not believe they've done anything wrong (it is all the other person who needs to be better ... change). The narrator has had enough, and knows it all falls apart because of the inability of open communication and honesty between the two.
Yeah this is an awesome song.
"Now your failure feeds your contempt" - that summarises the entire meaning of the song to be honest.
Well seing how i like this song and I am in a similar situation at the moment... I could state the obviouse about what this song is about but I think if you really read the lyrics you will understand it yourself.
@Darkflayme why bother commenting?? Was it that difficult to put the actual meaning into words??
