After a year off, the band began to discover the original vision and aspirations they had when first forming the group back in 2000. So with the help of fans/supporters and their donations, the band was able to raise a budget and independently record and release their 6th studio album.
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 produced a remix album based on 'Your Sparkling Death Cometh' in 2012 called Mnemos. It is available at http://fallingup.bandcamp.com, along with Your Sparkling Death Cometh.

Falling Up Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It starts a circle, it starts a connection
Not waiting for a net, jumping reckless
Set still surveillance, some switch turned on
Through back doors
(Back doors)
Through back doors
I thought it was as it seems but everyone is alone
I thought it was as it seems but everyone is alone
Streetlights in the distance shed light on gravity
As the traffic moves to the closing scene
Where the spilling of secrets on the floor
Cause to question deep in our hearts
Through back doors
(Back doors)
Through back doors
I thought it was as it seems but everyone is alone
I thought it was as it seems but everyone is alone
And I can hear it calling out to disappear again
I thought it was as it seems but everyone is alone
I thought it was as it seems but everyone is alone
I thought it was as it seems but everyone is alone
The lyrics of Falling Up's song "Murexa" paint a picture of isolation and disconnection, despite the presence of constant movement and noise. The first verse sets the scene with the image of things moving sideways, tracing every step, and creating a circle of connection, yet not waiting for a net, jumping reckless. There is a sense of haphazardness to these connections, as if people are desperately grasping at any form of interaction, yet it is all ultimately futile. The second verse adds to this feeling by describing the empty nature of relationships - everyone is alone, even when it seems like there is companionship.
The chorus reiterates the theme of loneliness, repeating the line "I thought it was as it seems but everyone is alone" multiple times. The bridge section recounts the image of streetlights in the distance shedding light on gravity, highlighting the heaviness and weight of these situations. The traffic moving towards the closing scene serves as a metaphor for the inevitability of endings and secret spilling, which causes people to question their own existence.
The final repetition of the chorus includes the line "And I can hear it calling out to disappear again," suggesting a desire to retreat from the world and its uncertainties.
