Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(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 come, let's watch the rain as it's falling down, yeah
Come, let's watch the rain as it's falling down
Sunlight on your skin when I'm not around
So come, let's watch the rain as it's falling down (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
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 falling (oh-oh-oh)
Come, let's watch the rain as it's falling down (oh-oh, oh-oh)
Sunlight on your skin when I'm not around (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Shit don't feel the same when you're out of town (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
So come, let's watch the rain as it's falling down (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
His name will live, brother
Bro, I got, I feel hella shitty because it's like, yo
Like, if I would have known he was so cool
And it's like, yo, if I would have watched interviews sooner
Bro, we were so alike
It's unfortunate because it's like, yo, when people die
That's when we like 'em, 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 falling (oh-oh-oh)
Come, let's watch the rain as it's falling down (oh-oh, oh-oh)
Sunlight on your skin when I'm not around (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Shit don't feel the same when you're out of town (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Come, let's watch the rain as it's falling down (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
The lyrics of Lil Peep and XXXTENTACION’s posthumous collaboration “Falling Down” touch on the themes of loss, regret, and longing. The song is about missing someone you love when they are not around, and how everything feels different when they are away. The opening lines invite the listener to watch the rain as it falls, a common symbol of sadness and mourning. The chorus repeats this sentiment, while also acknowledging the pain of tears falling – likely alluding to the grief of losing someone close.
The second verse takes a more personal tone, with Lil Peep lamenting how he wishes he had discovered XXXTENTACION’s music earlier, and how much he relates to him. The line “Darling, your love is like walking a bed of nails / And I just can't keep on falling” suggests that the relationship between Lil Peep and XXXTENTACION was tumultuous, but also that Lil Peep couldn’t help but be drawn to him despite the pain.
Overall, the lyrics of “Falling Down” paint a picture of two artists grappling with loss and regret, but finding solace in the knowledge that they were connected by their shared experiences.

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.
