In 2000, the band released its second full-length, Run Like This, recorded in Memphis at Ardent Studios. The band brought in veteranproducer Jeff Powell, who’s worked with artists ranging from The Afghan Whigs to Bob Dylan, for the session, and the albumbrought the band national attention. Following its February 2000 release, Run Like This achieved Top 5 status in Internet albumsales in Billboard (behind such notables as Shania Twain and Celine Dion). Two of the album’s songs were featured on the WBhit series, Dawson’s Creek, with one of the tracks, “Homecoming,” being voted the second most popular song of the year by anindependent artist on the show’s website. By the end of 2000, the band seemed to be on the right track, but things were aboutto change.
In early 2001, guitarist and founding member Michael Helmly, tired of life on the road and of the music industry in general,announced he was leaving the band. Faced with the decision of dismantling the band or trying to continue as FIVE WAY FRIDAY,the rest of the band members continued to play scattered shows assisted by guest guitarists.
That summer, producer and Hootie and The Blowfish guitarist Mark Bryan approached the band about a potential album project,urging them to keep working on new material and playing live. Rejuvenated, the guys then recruited Charleston native RiversPearce to play guitar and piano. Pearce already had a following in that city’s indie scene, and he brought his own influences anddistinctive musical style to the group.
After nearly a year of preparation, FIVE WAY FRIDAY arrived at Bryan’s summer house/studio (located on the intracoastal waterwayin Awendaw, SC) in late July 2002, to begin work on a full-length album. With influences ranging from Silkworm to WillieNelson, the band members had one common goal—to make a record that captured their live energy and sound. After six weeksof recording, heated arguments, fishing, endless viewings of The Last Waltz and plenty of brown liquor and beer, the band finishedthe album in an all-night session that left them tired as hell but satisfied.
With the tracks in the can, Los Angeles engineer/mix wiz Nick Brophy, who’s worked with The Rolling Stones and Avril Lavigne(to name just a few), signed on to mix the record. Brophy spent a week at Columbia’s Gothic Studios, putting the finishing toucheson the album back in L.A. Thanks to Bryan’s vision and Brophy’s sharp ear, the finished album, Wrecked, represents a giantstep forward for the band.
With their thoughtful and honest lyrics and pure rock ‘n’ roll sound, FIVE WAY FRIDAY is ready to hit the road and the airwaves.
Falling Away
Five Way Friday Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm falling asleep behind these doors
There's no use, for suffering
And I don't believe in this anymore
What I'm saying
I don't understand
I'm searching
I need a helping hand
I've found this place, but I can't stay
Yeah I, I'm falling away
I'm falling, I'm falling
There's a place where, I'm being used
But I can believe in what I see
There's a motion, within me
That connects me with everything that's free
And I don't want to be alone
But I can't, I can't take you along
I'm losing everything I've had
What I'm saying
I don't understand
I'm searching
I need a helping hand
[Chorus]
If there's a problem here
That I don't understand
I'll push away my fears
I'll be a better man
[Chorus]
The lyrics of Five Way Friday's song "Falling Away" seem to be tackling emotional turmoil, hopelessness, and yearning for something better. The lines "in the meantime, I'm struggling" and "there's no use for suffering" convey a sense of pain and frustration with one's current situation. The singer is searching for a way out of this dark place, and in doing so, appears to be questioning their beliefs and values as shown by the line "and I don't believe in this anymore." The mention of falling asleep behind doors and the repetition of the phrase "I'm falling away" are powerful visual and auditory metaphors that reveal the character's inability to cope with the situation at hand.
The second verse seems to offer a glimmer of hope, as the singer discovers a place where they "can believe in what [they] see" and feel a sense of connection with "everything that's free." However, they remain disillusioned with the people around them, stating "I don't want to be alone but I can't take you along." The chorus offers a message of perseverance and determination to overcome whatever problems may arise. The closing line, "I'll be a better man," suggests a desire for personal growth and improvement through these struggles.
Overall, "Falling Away" offers a message of hope and resilience amidst the turmoil of life. The song is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always a chance for things to get better if one is willing to keep pushing through.

In the meantime, I'm struggling
I'm having a hard time right now
I'm falling asleep behind these doors
I'm feeling trapped and disconnected from the world around me
There's no use, for suffering
I don't see the point in going through pain anymore
And I don't believe in this anymore
I've lost faith in something, and I don't know if I can get it back
What I'm saying, I don't understand
I'm struggling to articulate my thoughts and feelings right now
I'm searching, I need a helping hand
I'm trying to find my way out of this darkness, but I need some support
Yeah I, I'm falling away
I feel like I'm losing myself, or moving away from something important
I've found this place, but I can't stay
I've discovered something that feels good, but I'm not sure if it's really sustainable
There's a place where, I'm being used
I'm in a situation where I feel like I'm being taken advantage of
But I can believe in what I see
I have faith in this thing, even though I'm not sure where it will take me
There's a motion, within me
I feel like something is stirring inside of me, and I don't know what it means
That connects me with everything that's free
It's like I'm becoming one with the world around me, and all of the things that are pure and good
And I don't want to be alone
I'm scared of being by myself in this difficult time
But I can't, I can't take you along
Even though I want someone to be with me, I know that I can't bring them into this situation
I'm losing everything I've had
I feel like everything that was once important to me is slipping away
If there's a problem here, that I don't understand
I'm open to the idea that my struggles might be caused by something I don't yet realize
I'll push away my fears, I'll be a better man
I'm willing to confront my anxieties and take steps to become a stronger, more resilient person

Lyrics🤘
Hey, I'm feeling tired
My time has gone today
You flirt with suicide
Sometimes that's okay
Do what others say
I'm here standing hollow
Falling away from me
Falling away from me
Day is here fading
That's when I'm insane
I flirt with suicide
Sometimes kill the pain
I can't always say
"It's gonna be better tomorrow"
Falling away from me
Falling away from me
Beating me down!
Beating me, beating me
Down, down
Into the ground!
Screaming so sound!
Beating me, beating me
Down, down
Into the ground!
Falling away from me
It's spinning round and round
Falling away from me
It's lost and can't be found
Falling away from me
It's spinning round and round
Falling away from me
Throw it down
Beating me down!
Beating me, beating me
Down, down
Into the ground!
Screaming so sound!
Beating me, beating me
Down, down
Into the ground!
Twisting me!
They won't go away!
So I pray!
Go away!
Life's falling away from me
It's falling away from me
Life's falling away from me
Fuck!
Beating me down!
Beating me, beating me
Down, down
Into the ground!
Screaming so sound!
Beating me, beating me
Down, down
Into the ground!
Beating me down!
Beating me, beating me
Down, down
Into the ground!
Screaming so sound!
Beating me, beating me
Down, down
Into the ground!

I may not be a victim of any physical abuse but, I'm still facing mental abuse. Thank you Korn for being here for me.
@p1ekna.
Many times psychological abuse can be just as bad if not worse than physical abuse. Physical scars will eventually heal, but those mental wounds can last a lifetime. Thinking of you.
