In 1989, the group returned with the album Gashed Senses & Crossfire, which contained the dance-flavored singles "Digital Tension Dementia" and "No Limit." A European tour in support of the record yielded a live album -- titled simply, Live -- that was released and deleted on the same day in a limited edition of 4,000 pressings. After Balch departed Front Line Assembly in 1990, Fulber stepped in as a full partner; the streamlined duo soon released the electro-styled album Caustic Grip, while 1992's Tactical Neural Implant found the group's music moving in a more hard-edged disco direction. By 1994, the sound evolved yet again, with the album Millennium displaying a newfound reliance on guitars; both the title track and "This Faith" scored as club hits. Fulber departed the lineup by 1997, while his replacement Chris Peterson debuted with 1998's Flavour of the Weak. A best-of/remix compilation, Monument, was released the same year, as well as Re-Wind, a re-mix collection of material from Flavour of the Weak. Implode appeared one year later. Sticking with a heavy dose of synth-pop trance and throbbing melodies,Leeb and Peterson issued Epitaph in fall 2001.
Once again re-united as FLA, Bill And Rhys released a killer single 'Maniacal' (2003) as a precursor to the new album 'Civilization' (2004) and the sighs of relief amongst FLA fans were audible across the globe. 'Maniacal' is good old-fashioned FLA bought up to date whilst B-side 'Anti' shows that messers Leeb and Fulber can still produce stark and dark Industrial.
For the first time, Bill Leeb, Rhys Fulber, and Chris Peterson have joined ranks. The trio, with new members Jeremy Inkel and Adrian White, began work on Artificial Soldier in early 2005, and it was time well spent. Just release in June 2006 the newly re-formed line-up managed to create a release that should live up to the expectations of Front Line Assembly fans. Heavy pounding beats, atmospheric strings, percolating melodies, dynamic synths and Bill Leeb's trademark vocals are the norm here. Two guest vocalists also appear on Artificial Soldier. Eskil Simonsson from Covenant (on “The Storm”) and Jean-Luc De Meyer from Front 242 (on “Future Fail”).
Other projects include: Conjure One, Delerium, Pro-Tech, Synaesthesia, Will, Intermix, Noise Unit, Equinox, Cyberaktif and Mutual Mortuary.

Falling
Front Line Assembly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Reveals a cry for help
Despondent eyes of sorrow
Cast a lonely spell
Hiding in the corner
Looking at the world
[Chorus]
Start to loose sight
Hold on to yourself
What do you see
As you start to fall
Makes no sound at all
Falling to the ground
Oh so free
Looking through a window
Gasping for some air
Spirits wander freely
Tied down to a chair
Shadows of confusion
Makes sinners of us all
[Chorus]
The water swells below you
Reflecting times you cared
Remaining in the distance
The good times that we shared
The lyrics of "Falling" by Front Line Assembly portray the emotions of despair, hopelessness, and confusion. The first two lines of the opening verse "The silence of the moment/ Reveals a cry for help" suggest a state of desperation and a lack of support or understanding from others. The following line "Despondent eyes of sorrow/ Cast a lonely spell" sets the mood for the rest of the song, emphasizing the sadness and isolation felt by the singer. The second verse "Looking through a window/ Gasping for some air" adds to the picture of isolation and confinement. The imagery of "Spirits wander freely/ Tied down to a chair" highlights the frustration and longing for freedom experienced by the singer. The lyrics reach a peak in the chorus, where the singer is called upon to "hold on to yourself" and try to maintain their sense of identity and purpose in the face of adversity. The phrase "makes sinners of us all" suggests that the singer has a deep understanding of the human condition and the hardships that everyone must endure. The final verse "The water swells below you/ Reflecting times you cared/ Remaining in the distance/ The good times that we shared" implies that the singer is contemplating their past and the memories they have with someone else. The lyrics suggest that even in moments of despair, there is a glimmer of hope that things may get better.
Line by Line Meaning
The silence of the moment
Everything around you is quiet and still
Reveals a cry for help
You can hear the pained cries of someone in need
Despondent eyes of sorrow
All you see in their eyes is sadness and despair
Cast a lonely spell
Their pain and loneliness is palpable
Hiding in the corner
They want to be alone in their misery
Looking at the world
They are observing what's going on around them, feeling out of place
Divinity of right
The idea of justice and what's right
Start to lose sight
You feel like you're losing grasp of what's right and fair
Hold on to yourself
Remember yourself and what you stand for
What do you see
Take a moment to look around and evaluate your surroundings
As you start to fall
When everything is slipping away from you
Makes no sound at all
You are falling silently and nobody can hear you
Falling to the ground
You are spiraling down to the pit of despair
Oh so free
You feel like you have nothing to lose and can let go
Looking through a window
You're on the outside, looking in on something you once had
Gasping for some air
You are suffocating and struggling to breathe
Spirits wander freely
Others are free to do as they please without being chained down by their own demons
Tied down to a chair
You are paralyzed with your own anxieties and cannot move on
Shadows of confusion
You are lost and unsure of what to do, stuck in the shadows
Makes sinners of us all
We all make mistakes and are guilty of our own sins
The water swells below you
You are at the brink of something dangerous and unpredictable
Reflecting times you cared
Looking down at the water, you can see memories and emotions that you once cherished
Remaining in the distance
Those times and feelings are now far away and unattainable
The good times that we shared
Memories of happy times that you once shared with someone or something
