Falling Down
Twiztid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
People they try to ignore
The storm clouds that forms
Reality but these renditions
They visit from door to door
Be it taxes, bills, and transform
The caskets and pills overdosing your closest homies
On the verge of a break down
Flowers and graves but still we stay down
Till I take a turn, a rest and lay down
Next to them in the ground
Sunshine take away the pain now
It can't rain all day
All the time, every second
Always gloomy around mine
Feeling like I wanna drop it
And plant it up in the ground
And each rain drop is another problem falling on down
Still hoping that the clouds just open and everything goes from dark to bright
Until then my world's waste deep in water
Ain't no sunlight
As it rains all day and all night
Nothing but water in my eye as I look into the sky
It can't rain all the time
My reply is, "I really don't want to die."
(X2)
I'm a let the rain fall
And I let my eyes become one with the window pane
As I'm riding the crazy train
And I brought a chainsaw
Hoping to maim all
Hopeless and I'm out of my mind
But besides that we're like exactly the same y'all!
I put my hand in the sky
This ain't no game and no lie
I'm not the guy to be waiting for something to happen
I make it happen and get it crackin'
While the normal sit there and they're waiting to die
And the rain will wash it all away
I keep a look out when I'm not around
But believe me I'm just a call away
And it ain't my fault if they
Can't hang with the rain I bring
I'll just be part of day and they can fuck with one less thing
Nothing but water in my eye as I look into the sky
It can't rain all the time
My reply is, "I really don't want to die."
(X2)
Yeah
I'm spitting meteor showers
Spitting nuclear showers
Check my nucleolus clusters
I got the spookiest powers
I am dark and demented
I'll shoot a nuke at you cowards
And stick my dick in a groupie
And fucking puke on your flowers
Ay
Lucky that I didn't overdose
I'm a sober ghost
Mad child slither like a cobra through the coldest snow
I'm claustrophobic
But I'm locked up in a lonely room
You can look into my nine
See exploding doom
See I am twiztid
I'm totally vicious
I'll brain storm
And drain storms
With brain into ditches
Of course I am afraid of death
Do we really lay to rest?
Do we really fly up in the sky?
Feel my jaded breath
Nothing but water in my eye as I look into the sky
It can't rain all the time
My reply is, "I really don't want to die."
(X2)
Come on!
Wanna see mortality?
Does it mean that your battery is never gonna die?
Giving in a Duracell
Heavy like an everybody
No one is ever ready for the trip to the sky
Why?
Am I?
No not quite yet
But my flow
Overflow
Over throws your cassette
Intense is just a word that I use
When I serve off crews like a dinner plate
I refuse to loose
Cruise interstate
Then I bruise and abuse and intimidate
I ain't fading away
That takes too long
My patience gone
My aim is on
Like an amazon with a boomerang
I'm ruling this thing
What school is you in?
You ain't from hard knocks
Maybe before knocks
Old school New York
Real Hip Hop
New school West Coast
We don't shit talk
We just kick off
Tip off play up
You soft dude
So take a day off
Make a move and I'll improve the pay off
Improve the layout
I'm well designed
And I'm ahead of my time so you should stay up
Nothing but water in my eye as I look into the sky
It can't rain all the time
My reply is, "I really don't want to die."

The lyrics of Twiztid's "Falling Down" speak of the struggles of daily life and the desire for relief from the constant stress and pressure. The metaphor of rain is used throughout the song to symbolize the problems and challenges that people face in their lives. The opening lines describe how people try to ignore the storm clouds that form, but they inevitably visit and bring taxes, bills, and the loss of loved ones. The chorus repeats the phrase "it can't rain all the time" as a reminder that there is always hope for a better tomorrow, and that eventually the rain will stop and the clouds will clear.
The verses shift focus to the struggles of the artists themselves. They mention feeling on the verge of a breakdown and hoping for relief, but ultimately accepting that they may end up resting next to their loved ones in the ground. They express the desire for the rain to take away their pain, but acknowledge that it can't rain all the time. There is a sense of determination in their words, as they declare that they are the ones who make things happen and get it crackin'. They refuse to sit by and wait for things to change, and they encourage others to do the same.
Overall, the lyrics of "Falling Down" speak to the universal human experience of struggling with life's challenges and finding a way to persevere. The use of rain as a metaphor is particularly effective, as it conveys both the intensity of negative emotions and the possibility of relief.
Line by Line Meaning
When it rains and it pours
When life gets tough
People they try to ignore
People often try to avoid problems
The storm clouds that forms
The problems that arise
Reality but these renditions
These issues are a fact of life
They visit from door to door
Problems can come from anywhere
Be it taxes, bills, and transform
Problems can range from financial to personal
The caskets and pills overdosing your closest homies
The pain of losing loved ones to drugs and death
On the verge of a break down
Feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges
My relatives are relatively on their way now
The inevitability of death and how it affects family members
Flowers and graves but still we stay down
Even though we mourn, life goes on
Till I take a turn, a rest and lay down
Death is the ultimate rest
Next to them in the ground
Sharing a resting place with loved ones who have passed
Sunshine take away the pain now
The hope for happiness and relief from suffering
It can't rain all day
Hope that things will get better
All the time, every second
The desire for constant happiness
Always gloomy around mine
The feeling of being surrounded by negativity
Feeling like I wanna drop it
Feeling like giving up
And plant it up in the ground
The idea of suicide
And each rain drop is another problem falling on down
Problems that seem never-ending
Still hoping that the clouds just open and everything goes from dark to bright
Hope for a brighter future
Until then my world's waste deep in water
Feeling overwhelmed and trapped in the present
Ain't no sunlight
No hope or happiness in sight
As it rains all day and all night
Constant struggle and hardship
Nothing but water in my eye as I look into the sky
The feeling of being lost and helpless
It can't rain all the time
Optimism that things will get better
My reply is, "I really don't want to die."
The importance of life and the desire to keep going
I'm a let the rain fall
Acceptance of life's difficulties
And I let my eyes become one with the window pane
Deep reflection and introspection
As I'm riding the crazy train
Navigating through life's chaos
And I brought a chainsaw
An aggressive approach to problem-solving
Hoping to maim all
The desire to overcome obstacles by force
Hopeless and I'm out of my mind
Feeling lost and desperate
But besides that we're like exactly the same y'all!
Despite our differences, we all face similar challenges
I put my hand in the sky
The symbol of hope
This ain't no game and no lie
The seriousness of life's challenges
I'm not the guy to be waiting for something to happen
Taking action and being proactive
I make it happen and get it crackin'
The importance of hard work and determination
While the normal sit there and they're waiting to die
The difference between passive and active approaches to life
And the rain will wash it all away
The idea of forgetting and moving on
I keep a look out when I'm not around
Vigilance in the face of adversity
But believe me I'm just a call away
Offering support to those in need
And it ain't my fault if they
Taking responsibility for oneself but not others
Can't hang with the rain I bring
The challenges of dealing with life's hardships
I'll just be part of day and they can fuck with one less thing
Not letting others' problems bring you down
I'm spitting meteor showers

Spitting nuclear showers
A deadly force

I'll shoot a nuke at you cowards
Unstoppable force
And stick my dick in a groupie
A crude reference to sexual prowess
And fucking puke on your flowers

A metaphor for overcoming adversity with grace and determination
I'm claustrophobic
A fear of being trapped or overwhelmed
But I'm locked up in a lonely room
A feeling of being trapped or isolated
You can look into my nine
A reference to a gun
See exploding doom
The potential for violence or destruction
See I am twiztid
A unique identity
I'm totally vicious
A force to be reckoned with
I'll brain storm
Creative and powerful ideas
And drain storms
Unleashing a deluge of violent emotions
With brain into ditches
The destructive power of words
Of course I am afraid of death
The fear of the unknown
Do we really lay to rest?
Is death a true end or beginning?
Do we really fly up in the sky?
The ambiguity of the afterlife
Feel my jaded breath
The feeling of exhaustion and cynicism
Come on!
An expression of frustration or disbelief
Wanna see mortality?
A challenge to test the limits of existence
Does it mean that your battery is never gonna die?
The idea of everlasting life
Giving in a Duracell
A reference to the brand of batteries known for longevity
Heavy like an everybody
The weight and burden of existence
No one is ever ready for the trip to the sky
The overwhelming nature of death
Why?
The ultimate question
Am I?
The question of existence and purpose
No not quite yet
The desire to continue living
But my flow
The creative force within
Overflow
An abundance of energy and ideas
Over throws your cassette
Revolutionizing the status quo
Intense is just a word that I use
Describing the intensity of one's character or presence
When I serve off crews like a dinner plate
The power to dominate and defeat opponents
I refuse to loose
The determination to succeed despite obstacles
Cruise interstate
The desire for adventure and exploration
Then I bruise and abuse and intimidate
The use of force to achieve one's goals
I ain't fading away
The desire to live and endure
That takes too long
The impatience with time and mortality
My patience gone
The feeling of being overwhelmed and tired
My aim is on
The focus and determination to succeed
Like an amazon with a boomerang
A formidable and powerful force
I'm ruling this thing
The desire to be in control

Their human sides are beginning to show more. Is it artistic evolution or their own age beginning to catch up with them? Doesn't matter. I just hope they keep it up. Twiztid is always great.
