First appearing with a demo for Goodbye on the Mortal Kombat movie soundtrack in 1995, they had their first hit single with Guilty off their 1996 debut album Gravity Kills. Further soundtrack appearances on Escape From L.A. and Se7en along with music videos for Guilty, Enough and Blame also helped bring exposure, often having had comparisons drawn to early Nine Inch Nails by the press.

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 through your window, a million miles from me
My ears are bleeding from the silence, echoing like rain
I cannot see, leaping from your window, the fall
To set me free. A leap of faith is all I ask. Remove
Myself from all that used to be. Now I'm here
for all to see, everything torn out of me, too
Late to drown in all my doubt. Too much too
Late to sort things out: when the clock is

Ticking. A twisted face I see, my sight is blinded
By the darkness, it doesn't mean a fucking thing
To me, turning from my window. Nothing phases me
I built this perfect little hellhole. It seems to
Be the perfect place for me, now I'm here for
All to see. Everything torn out of me, too late

To drown in all my doubt too much too late to
Sort things out

They feel as if they need to make a sudden decision, taking a leap of faith by jumping out of the window to break free from their present situation. The person believes that it's too late to rectify all the wrongs in their life as they have created their own personal hell.

The lyrics focus on themes of isolation, desperation, and the unexpected consequences of actions that people regret. There is a sense of urgency in the lyrics as the singer tries to take a risk to escape their current situation. Despite feeling like it's too late for any positive change, they still feel the impulse to take a chance. It's an unorthodox attempt, but it could be the only way to overcome their pain.
