The Fallen State was raised in the Autumn of 2013... when five young men with a mutual love for powerful, anthemic and beautifully executed rock, found themselves in a room together. For these guys togetherness isn't just a dream but a reality… they have that extra, indescribable ‘musical magic’ tattooed across their songs… the artistic ink of five individuals harmonised into something greater than the parts.
Individually, they’ve graced stages with the likes of Alter Bridge, Heaven’s Basement and Clutch… they live for the live show, with their stylish take on the musical legacy of both sides of the Atlantic.
Musically, The Fallen State combine the exuberant, smooth and soulful voice of frontman Ben Stenning with a harmonic wall of warm, contemporary rock guitars. Add the artfully emotive phrasing of lead six-stringer Jon Price - not to mention a grooving, ruthless rhythm section - and there can only be one outcome… infectious, body-rocking songs that'll leave crowds hungry for more.
Great Unknown
The Fallen State Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Chapter and verse the words I evade
With every chance that I'm given
The oath I vowed I seem to breach
Ready to fall
Search far and wide to find a meaning
Ready to fall
Strong but divided we fall (divided we fall)
Fake devotion (to what we're shown)
Shunned but invited we call
You said my son, "You're falling down, Into the great unknown"
Taking a beating
Yearn for the rise in my disgrace
The endless road that I've driven
It sparks my mind to make a change
Ready to fall
Search far and wide to find a meaning
Ready to fall
Insight despite the wreck I made
Strong but divided we fall (divided we fall)
Fake devotion (to what we're shown)
Shunned but invited we call
You said my son, "You're falling down, Into the great unknown"
Into the great unknown
Will you save me now?
From losing sight of my existence
I'll be breaking out
Cos I got nothing left at all
Strong but divided we fall (divided we fall)
Fake devotion (to what we're shown)
Shunned but invited we call
You said my son, "You're falling down, Into the great unknown"
Into the great unknown
Into the great unknown
The Fallen State's song "Great Unknown" is an insightful commentary on the human condition, exploring the feelings of confusion, doubt, and uncertainty that often accompany our search for meaning in life. The lyrics suggest that the singer is struggling to make sense of the world around them, seeking wisdom and guidance but remaining elusive to their efforts to find it. The use of the phrase "Chapter and verse the words I evade" highlights the singer's reluctance to submit to fixed rules or doctrines, while "The oath I vowed I seem to breach" suggests a sense of failure or guilt.
Despite their inner turmoil, the singer retains a sense of determination to seek a better understanding of their place in the world, even as they feel like they are "Taking a beating" and "Yearning for the rise in [their] disgrace." The repeated phrase "Ready to fall" captures the singer's sense of vulnerability and uncertainty, as they search "far and wide to find meaning." Ultimately, there is a sense of hope in the repeated refrain "You said my son, 'You're falling down, Into the great unknown'," suggesting that even in the midst of our uncertainty and confusion, there is someone or something watching over us, ready to offer guidance.
Overall, "Great Unknown" is a powerful reminder of the importance of perseverance, even in the face of doubt and confusion. The song encourages us to stay true to our values and to keep searching for meaning, even when the path ahead seems uncertain and the world around us feels chaotic and confusing.
