Falling apart
Pegboard Nerds Stonebank & EMEL Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Watch my life pass me by
Never knowing where I belong
In the web of love and lies
As you string me along and
I can′t breathe
I can't see
I′m losing sight of everything
I feel the walls closing in (closing in)

Am I falling apart

Oh I just wanna be free
I just wanna be free
I think I'm falling apart
Oh I just wanna be free
Free, free

I'm falling apart
I′m falling apart
I′m falling apart
I'm falling apart
I can′t breathe
I can't see
I′m losing sight of everything
I feel the walls closing in (closing in)

I feel I'm falling apart
(I feel I′m falling apart)

I'm falling apart
I'm falling apart
(Think I′m falling apart)
I′m falling apart
I'm falling apart

Watch my life pass me by
Never knowing where I belong
In the web of love and lies
As you string me along and
I can′t breathe
I can't see
I′m losing sight of everything
I feel the walls closing in (closing in)

I feel I'm falling apart
I feel I′m falling apart
I'm falling apart
I'm falling apart
I′m falling apart
I′m falling apart
I feel I'm falling apart
(I feel I′m falling apart)

(I feel I'm falling apart)

I′m falling apart
I'm falling apart

I′m falling apart
I'm falling apart

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Pegboard Nerds Stonebank & EMEL's song Falling Apart depict a sense of hopelessness and desperation as the singer feels lost and strung along in a web of love and lies. The repetition of "I can't breathe, I can't see" and "I'm losing sight of everything" showcases the suffocating feeling the singer is experiencing. The walls closing in represent a feeling of being trapped, making the singer question if they are falling apart. The chorus of "Oh I just wanna be free" is the singer's plea to escape this suffocating feeling and find their way back to a sense of belonging or purpose.

This song is a relatable expression of the human experience, as many have felt lost and trapped in a web of their own making. The lyrics also touch on the universal desire to be free and escape from feelings of being suffocated by life's challenges. It's a reminder to listen to ourselves and reach out for help when needed.

Amazing collab! Very happy to see Stonebank return to Happy Hardcore with this one, together with PBN! Stonebank and EMEL are just a power couple, and EMEL's vocals are sure to make this song sound even more beautiful.

I'm glad to see that distortion of boosting bass got reduced in the main drop, I don't hate it, but I'm glad it got fixed so that we can enjoy the drop much better than it did before. :)

Great stuff, Pegboard Nerds, Stonebank, and EMEL! These artists' stuff has always been some of my favourite from Monstercat and they were some of the earliest I heard from the record label, so for the three artists to come together for a song is a dream come true. <3
On a side note, maybe it's just because it's the game's sixth birthday this month, but this song gives me big Undertale vibes, especially with that red heart in the album art.
