Their other singles that followed were Down from the debut (the final single released from the debut album), Falling and Alive off 1998's Perversion and finally One Thing and a cover of Depeche Mode's Personal Jesus (with an accompanying music video) both from 2002's Superstarved, though all were only minor successes compared to their early hits.
Following a severe injury to keyboardist Doug Firley's hands, they were unable to complete a tour for Superstarved and broke up in 2002. Gravity Kills reunited to perform a one-off final show on October 28, 2005. There is a discussion on the Gravity Kills official forum about the possibility of the band performing another Halloween show; the topic is not a random rumor, as it was originally posted by Jeff Scheel.
Members:
* Jeff Scheel - vocals (Jeff Scheel will be continuing his music career with Star13.)
* Matt Dudenhoffer - guitar
* Douglas Firley - keyboard
* Kurt Kerns - bass, drums
* Brad Booker - bass, drums (Superstarved album)

Gravity Kills Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looking all around or finding in between
The less that I can see the more that you control
I want to feel the warmth but all I feel is cold
My eyes aren't letting me see, I want them to
You know you are making me bleed, I want you to
Why won't you listen to me, I want you to
I push you and you fall
I'm shaking and I want it all
I will use you, I will make you
I will give and take and break you
Am I like you, falling in too?
I don't know who I've turned into now
If I fell into a hole would I even care?
I spit out all the anger I sucked in the despair
I swallow what you give, it cuts me at the seam
Catch everything that spills and fill it up with me
My eyes aren't letting me see, I want them to
You know you are making me bleed, I want you to
Why won't you listen to me, I want you to
Look what it's doing to me, I know that
I push you and you fall
I'm shaking and I want it all
I will use you, I will make you
I will give and take and break you
Am I like you, falling in too?
I don't know who I've turned into now
My eyes aren't letting me see
You know you're making me bleed
Why won't you listen to me?
Look what it's doing to me, I know that
I will give in descend again
I will take in here in again
I will use you, I will make you
I will give and take and break you
Am I like you, falling in too?
I don't know who I've turned into now
Am I like you?
I don't know who I've turned into now
The song "Falling" by Gravity Kills features lyrics that describe the complicated dynamic of control and manipulation in a relationship. The singer seems to be in a situation where they are being used and taken advantage of, yet they are willing to allow these actions to continue because they feel some sort of connection to the other person. The opening lines describe this situation, with the singer acknowledging that the other person is taking what they want and stealing what they need, while the singer is left feeling cold and powerless.
The chorus of the song builds on this idea of manipulation and control, with the singer admitting that they will use and break the other person if it means gaining some sort of power or control. However, there is also a sense of confusion and uncertainty, with the singer wondering if they are becoming like this other person and falling into the same patterns of manipulation and control.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of internal struggle as the singer tries to come to terms with their own feelings and actions. The final lines of the song, "Am I like you? I don't know who I've turned into now," reveal a sense of confusion and desperation, as the singer realizes that they may have lost their sense of self in this complicated and manipulative relationship.
Overall, "Falling" is a powerful and emotional song that explores the complex dynamics of control, power, and manipulation in relationships.

Taking what you want, stealing what you need
You are not only taking what you need, but even stealing what you want
Looking all around or finding in between
You are searching everywhere to find what you are after
The less that I can see the more that you control
You are in control even when I can't see what's happening
I want to feel the warmth but all I feel is cold
I am longing for a warm feeling, but all I get is coldness
My eyes aren't letting me see, I want them to
I am trying to see things more clearly with my eyes
You know you are making me bleed, I want you to
I need you to understand that your actions are hurting me
Why won't you listen to me, I want you to
I want you to listen to what I have to say
Look what it's doing to me, I know that
I am aware of how it's affecting me

I am unsure of the person I have become
If I fell into a hole would I even care?
I am questioning whether or not I would have any concern if something bad happened to me
I spit out all the anger I sucked in the despair
I am trying to express my anger even though I have been feeling hopeless
I swallow what you give, it cuts me at the seam
I take what you give me, but it's causing me pain and hurting me deeply
Catch everything that spills and fill it up with me
I want to capture everything that falls out and keep it all for myself
I will give in descend again
I will allow myself to fall and give up control once again
I will take in here in again
I will accept whatever happens to me and take it all in
Am I like you?
I am questioning if I have become like you
I don't know who I've turned into now
I am unsure of the person I have become
