Falling Down Lyrics

You're always looking back,
runnin' from the past.
You're always sweating me about the next big heart attack.
You're lookin' over your shoulder starin' down the path.
(I'm fallin' down)
Fallin' down
Fallin' down

It's in your head all the voices mistaken,
shake it off shake it off.
We're all dyin' in the end.
Chorus [x2]

I fear I'll find the evident so horrible,
so horrible
To clear my thoughts I drill a hole into my skull
clean up my brains and sweep them underneath the rug
I need them more than I needed any other drug
I'm fallin' down
fallin' down
fallin' down

It's in your head all the voices mistaken
shake it off shake it off
we're all dyin' in the end.
Chorus [x2]

Hey, hey, hey
Come on

I'm fallin' down
fallin' down
fallin' down

It's in your head all the voices mistaken
shake it off shake it off
we're all dyin' in the end

It's in your head all the voices mistaken
shake it off shake it off
we're all dyin' in the end

Wow, just because Atreyu decides to exercise some artistic freedom the "hardcore" fans label it as bad or start bitching about how the band isn't what it used to be. Damn, yo, learn to appreciate the music for what it is, not what you expect it to be. I don't buy albums because I want to hear the same stuff over and over again, I love change. Hence why I like this song. It's different. So disregard the opinions of those such as "forever haunted" and people with his/her mindset. If they're the real fans, I don't think I want to be one.

By the way the video is kind of funny; set in the 50's with a huge brawl scene lol

@bigboss_26 The brawl scene is from a book/play called The Outsiders.

Rewatching it, the whole music video is scenes from that book/play.

this song is good it reminds me of atreyu from suicide notes i think this song has something to do with either the end of a relationship that has turned him inside out or this could be alex writing about dome skeletons in his closet and secrects that hav been bothering him

hmm. I really like the lyrics, haven't heard it yet, tho... want to... (seeing that... well, it's by my NUMBER one FAVORITE band of ALL times! lol. I love it! :D they did a wonderful job!

Cover art for Falling Down lyrics by Atreyu

Sounds ALOT like The Used on Lies For The Liars (instrumentally). Listen to Paralyzed on that CD. Great song(s). Feldmann did a good job

I like this song... it's not their best one... but it actually made me laugh... (don't ask why, but it did...) I just thought this was their cutest song they have ever done... (in some weird, twisted way... lol)

Cover art for Falling Down lyrics by Atreyu

you had a right to laugh crimsonangel... the song is a satire.. they wrote the song to mock the style of pop rock bands like green day and such... did anyone look at the lyrics??

1st verse the people are leaving their past trying to get into the next big fad.. when they get the chance they look back at the past

2nd verse he finds what they do sad gets rid of all the hype and bs he sweeps the bs out of sight, but he realizes he needs his brain, his thoughts, memories and intelligence more than anything to get out of this situation

im falling down... "im tired of trying to clean up the mess" chorus basically the person is suicidal because they ignore their past and get caught up in the fads and are caught between two worlds they hear voices, telling them to kill themselves or something similar and atreyu is saying shut the hell up, live your life, were all dying in the end

this song is in no way like suicide notes... it is totally different in every way i can think of... but it is still an awesome song, one of my faves of the cd...

I agree for the most part

Not Valid

I actually started getting sick listening to this and thinking about what Atreyu used to be...suicide notes and the curse both amazing, Death grip ehh, but this is a new low
