Falling Down
Atreyu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're always sweating me about the next big heart attack
You're lookin' over your shoulder starin' down the path (I'm falling down)
falling down, falling down
It's in your head, all the voices mistaken
Shake it off, shake it off
We're all dying in the end
It's in your head all the voices mistaken
Shake it off, shake it off
We're all dying in the end
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 falling down
falling down, falling down
It's in your head all the voices mistaken
Shake it off, shake it off
We're all dying in the end (in the end)
It's in your head all the voices mistaken
Shake it off, shake it off
We're all dying in the end (dying in the end)
Dying in the end
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Come on
I'm falling down
Falling down, falling down
It's in your head all the voices mistaken
Shake it off, shake it off
We're all dying in the end (dying in the end)
It's in your head all the voices mistaken
Shake it off, shake it off
We're all dying in the end (dying in the end)
Dying in the end
Hey, hey, sing it
The lyrics to Atreyu's song "Falling Down" speak to the fear of facing one's past and the inevitability of death. The opening lines "You're always looking back, runnin' from the past" suggest that the singer is constantly haunted by their past mistakes, unable to move forward. They are also being pressured to constantly worry about the next crisis or heart attack, unable to live in the present. The repetition of the phrase "I'm falling down" emphasizes their sense of falling apart under the weight of these anxieties.
The chorus emphasizes the idea that we all have voices in our heads that don't always have our best interests in mind. The repetition of "Shake it off" encourages the listener to push away those harmful thoughts and embrace the reality of mortality. The second verse introduces a more drastic solution to clearing one's thoughts, suggesting that the singer has considered drilling a hole in their skull to rid themselves of their negative thoughts. The line "I need them more than I needed any other drug" suggests that these thoughts have become addictive and difficult to escape.
Overall, the song "Falling Down" speaks to the common fears and pressures of human existence, emphasizing the need to let go of the past and live in the present, accepting one's mortality.

"Falling Down"
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
[Chorus: x2]
It's in your head all the voices mistaken,
Shake it off shake it off.
We're all dyin' in the end.
I fear I'll find the evidence 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 cool that their lead AND rhythm guitarists do solos.
