Super-charged high octane anthems that take you to the sleazy side of town, intoxicate you, then kick your ass UFC style. Falling Red aren't Saturday evening family entertainment, they are a glimpse back to the heady, rebellious days (or daze) of 70s Punk & 80s Sunset Strip. They have that essential raw energy that demands attention because you just know their undying enthusiasm is going to take them to the hearts of a brand new generation of Rock fans. Songs such as "How You Feel (on me)", "Out Of Control" & "You Were Out To Get Me" are screaming to hit Rock Radio's playlists. But where Falling Red's strengths are quadrupled are live onstage. This is a four piece band in which all four members are the frontman. They slice up every stage as if performing in an arena in front of twenty thousand screaming fans. They give it blood, sweat & tears to entertain an audience - and no one goes home disappointed!

Out Of Control
Falling Red Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I need to study,
but I'm here making this fucking song.
I'll tell you the story of the cigarette that I found.
It was alone, cold, crying and begging on the ground
why the fuck it's a cigarette crying on the ground? can someone explain me?

‘Will you help me?
now can you see, this world makes you wish be dead.

No chance to win…' This life's a fucking bitch.
‘…leave me alone, you're killing yourself'.

So I'm killing myself, making my life shorter.

(TSUNAMI Breakdown cover)
Come On!

I got scared and killed the damn cigarette,
not supposed that a cigarette talk you in the street.

Oh my god I'm so fucking stoned,
what the fuck?, there's a baby on the ground.
What the hell?!

‘Will you help me?
now can you see, this world makes you wish be dead.
No chance to win…' This life's a fucking bitch.
‘…leave me alone, you're killing yourself'.

Tar, nicotine, CO, arsenic.
