Falling Apart
►Papa Roach Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll follow you out of the dark
I tried my way but I keep falling apart

All that I see, is the wickedness around me
I refuse to believe, the apocalypse inside of me
I can't even trust myself
I'm burning in my skin
Standing at the gates of Hell, but nobody will let me in

I'll follow you out of the dark
I tried my way but I keep falling apart
I'll follow you, with all of my heart
I'm tired of my ways 'cause I keep falling and falling apart

I'll stand here again, forsaken in a place
That feels like I can never win
I'm reaching for a saving grace
I can't even trust no one
I need to rise above
I don't think I'm good enough, to feel your perfect love

I'll follow you out of the dark
I tried my way but I keep falling apart
I'll follow you, with all of my heart
I'm tired of my ways 'cause I keep falling and falling apart
I'm falling and falling apart
I'm falling apart

Your love's a fire, it's alive and I'm burning in it
I'm in the ashes of mercy, I'm covered in it
I fall hard and you carry me away
I fall part so you can set me free
Your love's a fire, it's alive and I'm burning in it
I'm in the ashes of mercy, I'm covered in it
I fall hard and you carry me
I fall apart so you can set me free
I follow you out of the dark
I tried my way but I keep falling apart
I'll follow you with all of my heart
I'm tired of my ways, 'cause I keep falling and falling apart
I'm falling and falling apart




Without you I'm falling apart
I'm falling and falling apart

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Falling Apart" by Papa Roach express the singer's struggle with their own internal demons and the wickedness they perceive in the world around them. They admit to trying to handle their problems on their own, but consistently find themselves falling apart. They feel like they are standing at the gates of hell, desperate for someone to save them, but unable to trust anyone, including themselves. They long to rise above their issues and feel the love and acceptance of someone else, but doubt their worthiness of such affection.


The chorus of the song illustrates the singer's willingness to follow someone out of the darkness and their admission that their own ways are not working. They express their tiredness and frustration with constantly falling apart. In the second verse, they describe feeling forsaken and constantly unable to win, yet still reach for a saving grace. They feel inadequate and unworthy of experiencing perfect love.


In the bridge, the singer acknowledges that the love they have found is like a fire, alive and all-consuming. They are surrounded and covered in the ashes of mercy. They fall hard, but the person they follow carries them away and sets them free. The song ends with the repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the singer's desire to follow and be saved by someone else, as they feel that without them, they are falling apart.

​ [Psychonymphsia Ultravistous] How about nowadays? With stuff like Tik Tok and Instagram and all that social stuff, people are making such a cringe content (not all content on the internet is cringe, just to be clear).
Also, you lost the point in my comment. I just don't like how harsh you are on other people for liking this music. If it was only one comment fine, but i noticed your other comments, where you're trashing other people for liking this music (I can screenshot your comments,just to show you what i mean)

I understand you have your own opinion and you apparently don't like this music, but that doesn't mean you act like a fool and start treating other people here like a trash. That's what i meant!


TL:DR Have your own opinion, but always keep some morality.


P.S. English is not my first language, so if there are some mistakes in my comment, you know why.

Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness
I need to calculate
What creates my own madness
And I'm addicted to your punishments
And you're the master
And I am waiting for disaster

I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am 
Getting away with murder
It is impossible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is 
I'm getting away with murder
(Getting away, getting away, getting away)

I drink my drink and I don't even want to
I think my thoughts when I don't even need to
I never look back cause I don't even want to
And I don't need to
Because I'm getting away with murder

I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am 
Getting away with murder
It is impossible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is 
I'm getting away with murder
(Getting away, getting away, getting away, 
getting away, getting away, getting away, getting away, 
getting away, getting away with murder)

Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness
I need to calculate
What creates my own madness
And I'm addicted to your punishments
And you're the master 
and I'm carving this disaster

I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am 
Getting away with murder
It is impossible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is 
I'm getting away with murder
(Getting away, getting away, getting away)

I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am 
Getting away with murder
It isn't possible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is 
I'm getting away with murder
(Getting away, getting away, getting away)

Getting Away With Murder"

Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness
I need to calculate
What creates my own madness
And I'm addicted to your punishment
And you're the master
And I am waiting for disaster

[Chorus]
I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting away with murder
It isn't possible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is I'm getting away with murder
(Getting away, Getting away, Getting away)

I drink my drink and I don't even want to
I think my thoughts when I don't even need to
I never look back cause I don't even want to
And I don't need to
Because I'm getting away with murder

[Chorus]

Getting away, Getting away, Getting away,
Getting away, Getting away, Getting away,
Getting away, Getting away, Getting away,
With murder

Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness
I need to calculate
What creates my own madness
And I'm addicted to your punishment
And you're the master
And I am craving this disaster
