Their first 12" was released in 1998, followed by their debut CD, "This Is Just The Beginning" and "No Gimmicks Needed" LP on Blackout! Records the next year. The band subsequently signed to Side One Dummy Records and released two albums, "Funeral For A Feeling" in 2001 and "From Companionship To Competition" in 2005. KYI has also released quite a few EP's and split EP's including 2002's split with fellow LIHC band Crime In Stereo.
By January, 2006 the band had been together for ten years and celebrated by playing an anniversary show with friends Inhuman, Ensign, Two Man Advantage, Shell Shock and others at CBGB.
They disbanded in the May of 2007, playing their final show in a parking lot to 200-300 people, including many close friends. Local authorities shut down the originally intended last show after the audience far exceeded the venues capacity, and so it had to be moved last minute to a car park at a LI rehearsal studio.
Some members of the band founded Black Anvil.
Falling
Kill Your Idols Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Help me, somebody help me Because I know how these stories end
I've done all I can to do what's right I've done all I can and
Fought a good fight But still I find myself?
Falling, falling down again
Paralyzed with fear as I descend
The lyrics to Kill Your Idols' song "Falling" express a sense of desperation and an urgent need for help. The singer is struggling to stay afloat as they feel themselves beginning to fall once more. The repetition of the phrase "help me" emphasizes this need and creates a tone of desperation. The line "Because I know how these stories end" adds a sense of fatalism to the song, implying that the singer has been in this place before and knows that it does not end well.
Despite the singer's efforts to do the right thing and fight the good fight, they still find themselves falling. The line "Paralyzed with fear as I descend" creates a vivid image of the singer's descent into darkness and despair. The use of the word "paralyzed" suggests a sense of powerlessness and an inability to stop the fall.
Overall, "Falling" is a powerful expression of the struggle to stay afloat in the face of overwhelming challenges. It speaks to the human experience of trying to do what is right and still finding oneself in difficult circumstances.

Help me, somebody help me Because I am falling down again
I need someone to rescue me as I'm losing control and spiraling downwards
Help me, somebody help me Because I know how these stories end
I'm familiar with the outcome of my actions and it's not good, so I need assistance
I've done all I can to do what's right I've done all I can and
I've tried my best to make good choices and live a decent life
Fought a good fight But still I find myself?
I struggled hard, yet I'm still in trouble
Falling, falling down again
I'm relapsing and losing my grip once more
Paralyzed with fear as I descend
I'm becoming motionless with terror as I fall further down

Back to make another comment on an old ass video because this song should connect with anybody no matter what way you're falling, someone is always falling down again.
