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.

* 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 ↴
Look right into a lover's eye. I thought I could fly
but that has been done before. I'm feeling empty.
empty inside. A life I never knew, A room
without a view. My life begins in you.
My life it ends in you. It's like I never never
never never Never been here before
Like to be left alone forever in time, Loved right lived
has been done before I'm feeling hopeless, hopeless
inside. A life I never knew, A room without a view
My life it ends in you, My life begins in you
It's like I never never never never Never been
here before. It's like a different disease
burning inside of me. It's like a different disease.
Don't deny what's out of your sight. I get drawn
into the light. A life I never knew. A room without a view.
My life it ends in you, My life begins in you
It's like I never never never never Never
been here before
The lyrics to Gravity Kills's song Never explore the theme of feeling lost and disconnected from oneself, as well as the paradox of desiring both solitude and companionship. The opening line "I like to live alone, but it's crowded inside sometimes" reveals a sense of internal conflict, suggesting that the singer values their independence but also struggles with feelings of isolation and loneliness. The second line "Look right into a lover's eye. I thought I could fly but that has been done before" hints at past emotional experiences that have left the singer feeling jaded and uninspired.
The repetition of the phrase "A life I never knew, A room without a view" further emphasizes a sense of emptiness and lack of direction. The line "My life it ends in you, My life begins in you" suggests that the singer has found some sort of salvation or purpose in their significant other, but it also reveals a reliance on them for fulfillment. The final lines "Don't deny what's out of your sight. I get drawn into the light" suggest that the singer may be struggling with their own identity and desires, but they are also open to new experiences that may lead to personal growth.
