Your Sparkling Death Cometh was released in 2011. Tracked at 'Fangs' producer Casey Crescenzo's studio down in California. The band headed up the operation - Produced by Jessy Ribordy, Mixed by Josh Shroy, and with help in Engineering by Casey Crescenzo and Jeremy Miller.

Falling Up Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This place a face of the fearless.
To wait the night.
It's calm, but you're starting to hear this.
It moves so fast, stops hearts but holding on faster.
Come back, like that, and you know that...
You will find
And I'm all the places you will not be.
You will find
That I'm everwhere you go
And I'm all the things that you want to be.
It leaves this light.
This sparkle's broken inside you.
I swear it hides.
This siren's moving it's way through.
This race we hear.
The fall of the wind and the whispers.
The take so clear, and you know that...
Constantly moving, your heart is just wasting away.
Endlessly waiting, this life is just slipping away.
The song Flights by Falling Up is an introspective piece of music and the lyrics are poignant and heartfelt. The opening lines âThey search, they light. This place a face of the fearless. To wait the night. It's calm, but you're starting to hear this.â convey a sense of anticipation and waiting for something unknown. The next set of lines âIt moves so fast, stops hearts but holding on faster. Come back, like that, and you know that...â depict a sense of something powerful that is happening, but itâs fleeting and elusive. This contrast between waiting and feeling something intensely but briefly is also reflected in the chorus repeated twice, which reflects how life is both everywhere and nowhere, full of potential but always seems to be just beyond reach.
The second verse âIt leaves this light. This sparkle's broken inside you. I swear it hides. This siren's moving it's way through. This race we hear. The fall of the wind and the whispers. The take so clear, and you know that...â speaks of loss and inner turmoil. The reference to a siren demonstrates the idea of being pulled in conflicting directions, between living in the moment and being aware of the past and the future. These lines also convey the sense of the fleeting nature of life, the inevitability of change and the struggle to balance the different demands that life throws at us. The last lines of the song âConstantly moving, your heart is just wasting away. Endlessly waiting, this life is just slipping awayâ echo the theme of the passage of time and the urgency of making the most of life.
Overall, Flights by Falling Up is a deep and personal exploration of the human experience, featuring powerful lyrics that resonate with people who relate to the sense of inner conflict and yearning expressed in the song.
