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 ↴
Looking for the face I am
Where do I go? All that's in my sight
Are darkened dreams of empty lies
Hole is there it's waiting it is real
You are only what you want to feel
I can see your eyes and they are asking
We're a new hope generation
We can see the wasted lives in your faces
But we can see Messiah rise in these places
until the tears are gone
I've seen you before, you're always on your face
Trying to find the traces left
Hungry and tire, waiting for your need
Just hold him close he won't ever let you go
Open arms let your spirit pour
Here's the call to anybody at all who's ever had
The rise right after a fall
It's revolutional when we come like this
They can't believe we're living representatives
It gives light unto the Gen. X and why, resolution
With no generic reply
I stand aside a genre that's on a tear
Broken chains explain that we almost there
You think I will throw away
But I don't care what you say
Cause the one you push aside, will rule one day
you can not divide a unified youth nation
So where's my anointed now generation
The lyrics to Falling Up's song "New Hope Generation" speak to a desire to break free from a cycle of despair and emptiness. The singer acknowledges that he has been in this place before - a place where he sees no hope or direction. He searches for a way out and sees that the only thing he can see are "darkened dreams of empty lies." Despite this, the singer recognizes that there is a void within him, a hole that is waiting to be filled. This sentiment is captured in the line "Hole is there it's waiting it is real / You are only what you want to feel." The singer wants to push through this feeling and sees others who feel the same. He recognizes that there is a generational divide between the "wasted lives" of the past and those who represent "Messiah."
The chorus draws attention to the "new hope generation," those who are rising up to push back against the pain and suffering of the past. They can see through the facade and the lies and recognize that hope can rise from these places. They are determined to push through until the tears are gone. The second verse expands on this idea by calling out to those who have fallen and risen again. It acknowledges that the battle is revolutionary, but the result is a unified youth nation. The singer ultimately declares that he does not care what anyone says - the generation that has been pushed aside will rule one day.
