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 ↴
When you complicate, you are left behind but
Longing, steals away the night
And steps away from eyes that are always searching
This time, you can feel his voice
And He's never going to stop until it sinks in deeply
Falling, consecrated lies
And you're letting go with time cause you're through with keeping
It's so real, never gonna stop till you want it,
Want it
It's so real, never gonna stop
[Chorus]
'Cause we're moving with a symmetry
And we're crashing like the waves in the sea
And we're moving to your heart this time
Release
Crashing, feel the way we move
Open up your eyes to the things around you
Haunting, take away the tears
'Cause you know that your heart is so close to
Beating
This time, you can feel his voice
And He's never gonna stop until it sinks in deeply
Falling, consecrated lies
And you're letting go with time cause you're through with keeping
It's so real
You are, you are.
The lyrics to Falling Up's song "Symmetry" speak to the struggle of finding meaning and purpose in life. The opening line suggests that the search for this elusive something is futile and may even be hindering progress. The singer urges the listener to let go of their complicated ways and the endless searching in order to embrace a simpler, more honest path. The idea of longing stealing away the night speaks to the all-consuming nature of this search, but the second verse suggests that by opening up to the world around us and acknowledging our emotions, we can find peace and clarity. The repetition of the line, "you can feel his voice," suggests that the guidance the singer is speaking of is spiritual in nature, and that even in moments of doubt, we are never truly alone.
The chorus speaks to the idea of finding balance or "symmetry" in life, and the inevitability of the ups and downs that come with it. The image of crashing waves in the sea symbolizes the tumultuous nature of life, but the repetition of "we're moving to your heart this time" suggests that by following our hearts, we can find a sense of direction and purpose. The word "release" at the end of the chorus implies that the journey towards this sense of balance and purpose requires letting go of whatever may be holding us back. Overall, the song seems to be about finding meaning and balance in a world that can often feel overwhelming and confusing, and the idea that by embracing our emotions and following our hearts, we can find a path forward.
