(Now let's do that song for Peep)
Sunlight on your skin when I'm not around
Shit don't feel the same when you're out of town
So girl, let's watch the rain as it's falling down (yeah)
Girl, let's watch the rain as it's falling down
Sunlight on your skin when I'm not around
So girl, let's watch the rain as it's falling down
Rain keeps falling, tears keep falling
Rain keeps falling, tears keep falling
Darling, your love is like walking a bed of nails
And I just can't keep on fightin' (oh-oh-oh)
Girl, let's watch the rain as it's falling down
Sunlight on your skin when I'm not around, yeah
Shit don't feel the same when you're out of town
So girl, let's watch the rain as it's falling down
His name will live, brother
Bro, I got, I feel hella shitty 'cause it's like, yo
Like, if I would've known he was so cool
And it's like, yo, if I would've watched interviews sooner
Bro, we were so alike
It's unfortunate because it's like, yo, when people die
That's when we like, you know?
'Cause your remorse kinda makes you check 'em out
Darling, your love is like walking a bed of nails
And I just can't keep on fightin' (oh-oh-oh)
Girl, let's watch the rain as it's falling down
Sunlight on your skin when I'm not around (yeah)
Shit don't feel the same when you're out of town
So girl, let's watch the rain as it's falling down (yeah)
The lyrics of Lil Peep's "Falling Down" depict a relationship that is struggling to survive long-distance. The song begins with the suggestion to watch the rain as it's falling down, giving a sense of peacefulness and contemplation, however, as the lyrics unfold, the tone of the song becomes more melancholic. The sun on the lover's skin is no comfort for the separation they feel when they're apart. The rain becomes a metaphor for tears and heartbreak that keeps falling as the relationship deteriorates. The line "Darling, your love is like walking on a bed of nails" suggests that the relationship is painful and difficult, and the singer seems to have tried hard to keep it together, but now it's time to let go.
As the song progresses, it shifts to a tribute to Lil Peep, the rapper, who passed away in 2017. Several lines are spoken by one of his friends, expressing regret that he didn't know Peep better and how he wishes he could have checked him out sooner. The song concludes with the line "your love is like walking on a bed of nails, and I just can't keep on fightin'", signifying the end of the relationship or maybe a sign of the end for Lil Peep himself.
The lyrics of "Falling Down" have been interpreted in different ways, with some people seeing the song as a suicide note from Lil Peep himself. However, the general consensus is that the song speaks to the pain and emotional struggles that people experience in their relationships when there is a lack of communication and distance.

Peep
I just wanted to say that I suffered along with your songs for 3 long years
And I got better
I’m so happy now you wouldn’t believe it
I just wanted to thank you for being this awesome musician and to have kept me going for so long in my dark years
I hope your soul find peace in the afterlife
And I hope to see you again my brother in Christ
God bless you
You mean a lot to me, really
Much respect and love for you my dear friend. Rest in Peace.
