Upon releasing "Turn It Around" on Facedown Records in 2003, Comeback Kid began touring full-time, covering most of North America as well as Europe. They also appeared on many high profile hardcore festivals like Hellfest and Posi Numbers festival. Following the touring for "Turn It Around", Comeback Kid entered the Blasting Room in Fort Collins, Colorado to begin recording their sophomore full length.
In February 2005 Comeback Kid released "Wake the Dead", their first for Victory Records. After some long tours, vocalist Scott Wade left the band. Neufeld became the band's vocalist, and they began recording their third album "Broadcasting". The release of "Broadcasting" was followed by more steady touring, culminating with a summer long tour supporting Rise Against in North America, and their first appearance on the "Never Say Die" tour in Europe with Parkway Drive. By the end of 2007 the band was to take a short hiatus. At this time bass player Kevin Call left the band on good terms, issuing a statement regarding leaving Comeback Kid.
Call was replaced by Matt Keil who had played in Minneapolis area bands with Hjelmberg. Two more years of touring followed, with the band visiting South East Asia and Latin America for the first times.
In 2008 a CD / DVD was released called "Through the Noise" which is a line from the song "Industry Standards" off of "Broadcasting..." . The DVD is a documentary of the first 6 years of Comeback Kid. The CD is a live recording of a show in Leipzig, Germany filmed in fall 2007. A release tour in Canada followed, named the "Through the Noise Tour." It featured Bane, Misery Signals, Shai Hulud, Grave Maker, and Outbreak. While on this tour Gravemaker suffered a van accident with Neufeld in the vehicle, which inspired the song "G.M. Vincent and I" off 2010's "Symptoms + Cures".
After two years of international touring, the band spent much of 2010 writing and recording their fourth studio album, "Symptoms + Cures" which was released in Canada by Distort Entertainment and internationally by Victory Records. Two more installments of the "Through the Noise" tour followed in North America and Europe.
In early 2012 guitarist Casey Hjelmberg announced he would be leaving the band. Stu Ross of Misery Signals/Living with Lions will assume guitar duties.
Neufeld confirmed that the band is writing new material this moment, but the progress is quite delayed as the band has many touring plans at the moment. They're also planning a 10th Anniversary Show for the release of their first full-length record "Turn It Around", with their former vocalist Scott Wade in 2013.
On September 21, 2013, Comeback Kid stated on their Facebook page they would have started recording a new full-length album. Die Knowing, the band's fifth studio album, was released on March 4, 2014, through Victory Records.
On May 13, 2014, drummer and founding member Kyle Profeta announced his departure from the band, to focus on his culinary skills in South Africa.

Falling Apart
Comeback Kid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's all the same
It's all the same to me
This curse is growing stronger
This isn't how I thought it would be now
I would pave the way
But I've got nothing to say
Thinking out loud
We saw, we had a vision
We heard, but didn't listen
I never could accept what they would offer
What they would give
My battle's not against you
I'm fighting with myself
Because I'm pulled in each direction
They're all the same with different names
Falling apart
Fall down fall, falling apart
We can't pretend
That we've ever been safe
Can you hear the sound
Believe
Find your reasons beyond
Feed the urge, take it beyond
In the song "Falling Apart" by Comeback Kid, the lyrics express a feeling of worthlessness and frustration in the singer. The repetition of the phrase "It's all the same" implies a sense of monotony and hopelessness in the current situation. The idea of a "curse" growing stronger adds to the feeling of being stuck and unable to break free.
The singer reflects on how they used to have a vision, but failed to listen to what was offered to them. This could refer to advice or opportunities, but the singer was unable to accept them. The line "They're all the same with different names" suggests that the different directions the singer is being pulled in are really just variations of the same thing. The repetition of "Falling apart" in the chorus emphasizes the sense of deterioration and loss of control.
Overall, the song touches on themes of frustration, feeling trapped, and the struggle of trying to stay true to oneself.
Line by Line Meaning
Right now I'm feeling useless
Currently, I feel without worth
It's all the same
Everything is identical
It's all the same to me
It does not matter which option I choose
This curse is growing stronger
This affliction is gaining power
This isn't how I thought it would be now
This is not what I had imagined
I would pave the way
I would lead the path
But I've got nothing to say
However, I have nothing to express
Thinking out loud
Speaking without reservation
Who do you want me to be me
What version of myself do you want me to become
We saw, we had a vision
We envisioned a future
We heard, but didn't listen
We were informed, yet ignored the message
I never could accept what they would offer
I was never able to embrace what they suggested
What they would give
What they had to offer
My battle's not against you
My fight is not with you
I'm fighting with myself
I am at odds with myself
Because I'm pulled in each direction
As I am being tugged in many directions
They're all the same with different names
They are all alike but bear disparate titles
Falling apart
Coming apart at the seams
Fall down fall, falling apart
Collapsing, descending, disintegrating
We can't pretend
We cannot act as though
That we've ever been safe
We have never been protected
Can you hear the sound
Are you able to perceive the noise
Believe
Have faith
Find your reasons beyond
Search for justifications beyond the obvious
Feed the urge, take it beyond
Fulfill your longings and push beyond your expectations
