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.

The Fallen State Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Without you by my side
But you're always on my mind
My light, my life)
It's too late to be there
When a life is lost
It brings you to your knees
And I need a moment
To gather my thoughts
About our loss
How Indescribable it seems
To be
As I'm walking down these halls
In the darkest days I've known
But did you even know?
I must go on
Without you by my side
But you're always on my mind
My light, my life
She's wearing that halo
I never hear my baby cry
But she's always on my mind
My light, my life
Hopeless and haunted
Well my life is passing by
With my belief
And I'm sorry for the mess I make
When I live in the moment
Go with the motion
Isn't the way it's supposed to be
As I'm walking down these halls
Of the darkest days I've known
But did you even know?
I must go on
Without you by my side
But you're always on my mind
My light, my life
I remember the day that
I look into to my fathers eyes
And he told me son don't cry
My light, My life
(And I want to know)
How can I go on?
With all we've lost
When the photographs we took were not enough
I'm telling you baby
I'll be right here by your side
Saying everything's alright
My light, my life
Why are you always on my mind?
In my solar system you're the sun
My supernova
And those heavy hearts
Refuse to run
In my solar system you're the sun
(My supernova)
You're not here by my side
But you're always on my mind
My light, my life
I'm telling you baby
I'll be right here by your side
Saying everything's alright
My light, My life
The lyrics to The Fallen State's song "Nova" deal with the pain and grief of losing someone close. The singer acknowledges that they must go on without this person by their side, but they cannot help but think about them constantly. The loss is described as indescribable, and the singer struggles to come to terms with it. They are haunted and hopeless, and their life feels like it is passing them by.
Throughout the song, the singer looks to memories of their lost loved one to find comfort. They remember the way their father comforted them and are always reminded of the person they lost in every moment of their life. They liken this person to the sun in their solar system and their supernova - the light and life that gave them hope and happiness in their darkest days.
Overall, "Nova" is a powerful and emotional song about loss and grief. It captures the way that losing someone important can affect every aspect of our lives, and how memories of them can bring both pain and comfort.

And those heavy hearts
Those who are heartbroken.
Refuse to run
Will not give up or stop loving you.

Such a powerful song, written straight from the heart.
So humbled to have been able to play this at my wifes funeral a few weeks ago, when I spoke to the guys they insisted the honour was theirs , that is the sort of guys these are.
