Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lost in my thoughts
Lost in my mind
Lost in the emptiness that you left behind
I’m stuck in my past
Stuck in my ways
Imma stay right here
‘Cause I don’t like change
So Imma run from my problems
Like I always do
I’ve been through this before yeah
This ain’t nothing new
I’ve learned all the signs
I don’t need another clue
That I’m falling apart
And I know it, yeah I know it, yeah I know that (I know yeah)
My life’s a mess
Yeah I know it, yeah I know it (I know, I know)
They tell me that I’m way too stressed (Yeah)
And I show it, yeah I show it (Bags under my eyes)
Haven’t been at my best (No, no)
Yeah I know it, yeah I know it, yeah I know it, I know it, I do
They don’t get it
They don’t understand
They don’t know what I’m goin’ through
No they can’t
It’s better they don’t know
They can’t help me anyways
Yeah I’m terrified of change
I’ve been tryna move on but I’m stuck again
I feel alone even with my friends
Put on a smile yeah I pretend

Been pretty hard to suppress
All of the thoughts in my head
In my head
So Imma run from my problems

Overall Meaning

In Chris Grey's song "Falling Apart," the lyrics express the artist's inner struggles and emotional turmoil following a significant loss. The opening lines, "Lost in my thoughts, lost in my mind, lost in the emptiness that you left behind," indicate a deep sense of emptiness and confusion. The artist feels stuck in their past, unable to move forward and resistant to change. They adopt a coping mechanism of running away from their problems, a pattern they have experienced before.


The lyrics also convey a sense of isolation and difficulty in communicating their emotions to others. The line "They don't get it, they don't understand, they don't know what I'm goin' through" reflects the artist's frustration with the lack of understanding and support they receive. Despite being surrounded by friends, the artist still feels alone and puts on a façade pretending to be okay.


Throughout the song, the repetition of "I know it" emphasizes the artist's self-awareness of their own struggles and messy life. They acknowledge being stressed, falling apart, and not being at their best. However, there is also a glimmer of hope and determination to make a change and improve their situation. The line "Yeah, lately I've been feeling pretty down, the days go while I sit here and count" suggests a desire to break free from their current state and turn their life around.
