Falling Away
Killing Touch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Rev. Mike "The Faith" Simmons:]
Some people bleed, some people try to forget
Can't you see where they're going through?
You're one of a kind, your heart's on the line

[Tommy "The Touch" Wolf:]
No one is there... No one believes you when you lie
Until we find the way, yeah
Unable to touch, afraid of the hurt

[Mike:]
Don't you know that our fear is our only creation
(Our fear is our only creation)
Let's get rid of these rusty chains
There's only a way to salvation
Taking you down will only make them believe in their lies...
And you know they lie

[Tommy:]
I'm falling away... (I'm falling away...)
No holds barred, I can't keep my feet on the ground... Yeah...
I'm falling away... (You've got to see...)
See what you get when you open your mind
When you're falling away... (I'm falling away...)
While you're begging to stay... (Begging to stay...)
There's no denial when you're lost
... When you're falling away... When you're falling away

Some people hear, some people don't understand
Never tell what we are here for
[Mike:]
You're one of a kind, your hearts on the line

[Tommy:]
Yeah, I feel so unsure... So unsure though I have the touch
Nothing depends on you, yeah
I'm on of a kind, my heart's on the line
(My heart's on the line...)

[Mike:]
Don't you know that our fear is our only creation
(Our fear is our only creation)
Let's get rid of these rusty chains
There's only a way to salvation
Taking you down will only make them believe in their lies...
... Yeah, and you know they lie

[Tommy:]
I'm falling away... (I'm falling away)
No holds barred, I can't keep my feet on the ground... Yeah...
I'm falling away... (You've got to see...)
See what you get when you open your mind
When you're falling away... (I'm falling away...)
While you're begging to stay... (Begging to stay...)
There's no denial when you're lost
... When you're falling away... When you're falling away

... When you're falling away... When you're falling away
... When you're falling away... Oh, yeah...

[Mike:]
Our fear is our only creation
Let's get rid of these rusty chains
There's only a way to salvation
You know taking you down will only make them believe in their lies...
And you know they lie

[Tommy:]
I'm falling away... (I'm falling away...)
No holds barred, I can't keep my feet on the ground... Yeah...
I'm falling away... (You've got to see...)
See what you get when you open your mind
When you're falling away... (I'm falling away...)
While you're begging to stay... (Begging to stay...)




There's no denial when you're lost
... When you're falling away...

Overall Meaning

The song "Falling Away" by Killing Touch is a powerful blend of hard rock and metal with lyrics that delve into themes of fear, uncertainty, and the struggle to find salvation. The song is a conversation between Rev. Mike "The Faith" Simmons and Tommy "The Touch" Wolf, with Mike delivering the first verse and Tommy responding in the second. Mike begins the song by acknowledging that some people bleed and others try to forget, but neither can escape the pain they are going through. He highlights the unique nature of the listener and how their heart is on the line. Tommy takes over in the second verse, declaring that when you lie, no one is there to believe you until you find the way. He mentions his fear and inability to touch due to the hurt it may cause. Mike comes back in with the chorus, urging the listener to get rid of their fearful mindset and take a step towards salvation, rather than allowing the lies of the world to drag them down.


The song's lyrics highlight how fear can hold individuals back and prevent them from realizing their full potential. It encourages listeners to push past their anxieties and beliefs that limit their thoughts and actions. The phrase "our fear is our only creation" speaks to how much of what holds us back is constructed within our own minds. The chorus is a rallying call for the listener to fight against limiting beliefs and take charge of their own destiny. The song's overall message is one of empowerment and the need to break free from the chains that hold us down.
