I think it's more general. you know nothing bad hurts until you have to face the consequences. it reminds me of this time when this guy came to my school (the high school has a drinking reputation, that's what happens to you when you go to a girl's private school) anyway for a long time he had been drinking to fit in. it was ok. his grades got lower, but parties are a lot more fun then studying. so the situation was always gettinng worse, but nothing serious had happened so he continued. then he was hanging out with his friends and they were playing quarters or something and he got wasted, had a blackout, went for a joy ride, and killed 5 people. this song is sortof like that because this guy had been falling all his life and he wasn't able to get a grip until he was on trial for the deaths of a load of people.
all my life i've been
fall fall falling apart
been tumbling down
quick fast right from the start
i never learn
just get up and go on
until i'm just knocked
right off of my feet
but it's not the fall that hurts
it's when you hit the ground
cos it's not the fall that hurts
it's when you hit the ground
