Falling Away From Me
. Korn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, I'm feeling tired
My time has gone today
You flirt with suicide
Sometimes that's okay
Do what others say
I'm here standing hollow
Falling away from me
Falling away from me

Day is here fading
That's when I'm insane
I flirt with suicide
Sometimes kill the pain
I can't always say
"It's gonna be better tomorrow"
Falling away from me
Falling away from me

Beating me down
Beating me, beating me down, down
Into the ground
Screaming some sound
Beating me, beating me down, down
Into the ground

Falling away from me
It's spinning round and round
Falling away from me
It's lost and can't be found
Falling away from me
It's spinning round and round
Falling away from me
Throw it down

Beating me down
Beating me, beating me down, down
Into the ground
Screaming some sound
Beating me, beating me down, down
Into the ground

Twisting me
They won't go away
So I pray
Go away

Life's falling away from me
It's falling away from me
Life's falling away from me
Fuck

Beating me down
Beating me, beating me down, down
Into the ground
Screaming some sound
Beating me, beating me down, down
Into the ground

(Falling away from me) Beating me down
Beating me, beating me down, down (falling away from me)
Into the ground
(Falling away from me) Screaming some sound




Beating me, beating me down, down (falling away from me)
Into the ground

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Korn's song "Falling Away From Me" speaks of a person who is feeling drained, exhausted, and hopeless. The singer describes how they are experiencing the feeling of falling apart, losing control, and feeling like being beaten down. The lyrics allude to suicidal thoughts and tendencies, stating that at times flirting with suicide is acceptable because it kills the pain. Although the person is surrounded by others and their opinions, they feel hollow and set apart from them. They are tired of pretending and putting up a front, and they just want everything to go away.


The chorus of the song revolves around the idea of things falling away from the person. Days fade away, and the person is falling away from life slowly. The feeling of spinning round and round is also highlighted, conveying how the person feels lost, and everything has become a blur. The lyrics sound raw and appear to come from a painful place of desperation.

I may not be a victim of any physical abuse but, I'm still facing mental abuse. Thank you Korn for being here for me.

@p1ekna.

Many times psychological abuse can be just as bad if not worse than physical abuse. Physical scars will eventually heal, but those mental wounds can last a lifetime. Thinking of you.

@spooder4559

@@p1ekna. thank you ❤️

@LaVeyThorns

I go through both wether it be being mentally degraded by my parents or being grabbed by the throat and nearly choked to death by them but it’s awful and I know how you feel
