Falling Down
Insolence Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I look into your eyes
I see another man
I'll tell you my past
But understand
That there's a lot to be said

I've fallen from grace
But I know it's not the end of it
Rolled out of bed
And fell three stories down

I'm falling up
I'm going down
On my up
I hit the ground
I'm falling up
I'm going down
On my up
I hit the ground, ground, ground
La da di da da die

Jumped into love
Three thousand times
I've drowned in my own tears
I shattered the glass that held me up
I stained it to be clear

I've fallen from love
But I know it's not the end of it
Rolled out of bed
And fell three stories down
I'm falling down

I'm falling up
I'm going down
On my up
I hit the ground
I'm falling up
I'm going down
On my up
I hit the ground
I'm falling up
I'm going down
On my up
I hit the ground
Ground ground

La da da da da

Down, down, down

I've picked up the pieces
I know that's not the end of it
Rolled out of bed
And fell three stories down

I'm falling up
I'm going down
On my up
I hit the ground
I'm falling up
I'm going down
On my up
I hit the ground
I'm falling up
I'm going down
On my up
I hit the ground
Ground ground

La da di da da da
Down
Down
Down
La da di da di da da da
Down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Insolence's song Falling Down seem to detail the emotional rollercoaster of a failed relationship. The singer of the song seems to be reflecting on a past relationship and how they've fallen from grace, possibly due to their own actions. They profess that they're willing to divulge their past, but they also acknowledge that there's so much to be said. The singer is obviously hurt from the break-up, and he expresses this through the metaphor of falling down. He's falling from love, and his situation seems to be getting worse and worse as he narrates how he fell three stories down.


The singer is in a confused state of mind, and this is highlighted in the chorus. He's constantly falling up and going down, and when he's trying to come up, he ends up hitting the ground. This juxtaposition of falling up and going down may represent the singer's effort to hold on to love and the constant disappointment he feels. He's drowned in his tears and shattered the glass that held him up, emphasizing that the relationship was a significant part of his life, and it has now crumbled.


Overall, the song's lyrics paint a picture of someone who's struggling to come to terms with a failed relationship. It's a reflection on how relationships can be messy, and the singer acknowledges this. Perhaps the most significant lesson from the song is that even when one is down, they must keep picking up the pieces and moving forward.
