At the time Crispin was the front man of Everything After, where creative differences led to his departure. Crispin was gaining attention as a songwriter with credits on Motley Crue's drummer Tommy Lee's solo CD Tommyland: The Ride. Eric, who had recently relocated back to Vancouver after a stint in Los Angeles with 40 Foot Echo (Hollywood Records), was working on projects of his own.
After writing for months with such a positive attitude, it was time to find band-mates who shared their mindset. While recording the first batch of “TVU” songs Eric and Crispin were introduced to Roots and Fid through a mutual friend. The four musicians became close friends in these studio sessions before they had even picked up instruments to jam with one another. Roots and Fid had played in a band together prior to this, and after numerous North American tours had decided it was time to do their own “veering” away from an unpleasant situation and join Crispin and Eric.
Finally the last piece of the puzzle was put into place when the band met drummer, Neil. As the youngest member of the group, Neil, was forced to learn the ways of this industry very quickly but this was something he was more than ready to strive for.
After nearly two years of endless touring arcross the continent, the band signed a record deal with Universal/Motown Records out of New York City. The label had taken notice of the hard working group and it is now time to hit the studio to record the bands Major Label debut with producer Greg Archilla (Collective Soul, Matchbox 20, Buckcherry).
Falling apart
The Veer Union Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It will swallow me in,
When the sun comes around
I dont want to come down
From the edges within
I'll be paying for them
When the sun comes around
Oh yeah,
Can someone put me back together
('cause now im falling apart)
Woah yeah, the silence sems to last forever
(it's when your falling apart)
Well i know that it's wrong
But im not very strong
When the sun comes around
(i dont want to come down)
As my ends coming clear
As i face my all my fear
(now i want to come down)
(now i want to come down)
Oh yeah,
Can someone put me back together
('cause now im falling apart)
Oh yeah, the silence sems to last forever
(it's when your falling apart)
And it's life that im knowing
To well
No one cares im alone in
This hell
This is my last goodbye
And farewell
And i know and i know
It to well
Oh yeah,
Can someone put me back together
(cuz now im falling apart)
Oh yeah, the silence seems to last forever
(its when your falling apart)
Oh yeah,
Can someone put me back together
(cause now im falling apart)
Oh yeah,
(im losing everything)
(im losing everything)
The silence seems to last forever
(im losing everything)
It's when your falling apart
Yeah..
'cause now im falling apart..
And i know it
And i know it too well....
The Veer Union's song Falling Apart is a somber tune about the feelings of hopelessness and despair. The lyrics paint a picture of the gradual descent into darkness and the struggle to keep oneself together when faced with adversity. The opening lines, "As the darkness begins, it will swallow me in," sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is at the mercy of the darkness, unable to resist its pull. There is a sense of resignation about the lyrics, as the singer reluctantly accepts their fate.
The chorus, "Can someone put me back together ('cause now I'm falling apart), oh yeah, the silence seems to last forever (it's when you're falling apart)," highlights the singer's desire for help to overcome the darkness. They feel alone in their struggle, and the silence of their suffering seems to go unnoticed. The repetition of the phrase "falling apart" underscores the importance of the concept in the song - the singer is crumbling under the weight of their problems.
In the end, the lyrics convey a sense of hopelessness and resignation. The line "And I know it too well" repeats throughout the song, emphasizing the familiarity and inevitability of the situation. The singer is losing everything, and there is nothing they can do to stop it.
